I did apologize when I noticed the error, and before it was pointed out. I don't know what more you expect. If you want certainties, maybe this isn't the game for you. We are all just human.

This isn't the first time I've found deductive mistakes in your summaries though.

That said, I don't really care much about this, and I'm not trying to start a heated argument over a friendly game. If any offense was caused, I am sorry. I was trying to provide constructive criticism, so if you disagree, feel free to ignore it. Ultimately the QM is in charge.

The next thread will be up imminently.

So sorry, Professor.

I communicated my point badly. No need to drag this out.

Actually, I'm now realizing that the way I phrased that was kind of cringeworthy and not the way I want to come across as well. I am sorry. Probably best to forget I said anything on this topic, because clearly I was not able to communicate the point I was trying to communicate.

I didn't really follow this round, but it may be worth mentioning, in general terms, that the question master doesn't need to provide summaries. I don't think that I ever have in my games, not by choice per se but because members of the community always beat me to it. If a volunteer makes a mistake in their summary then that's fine since it isn't an authoritative QM post anyway. Of course, letting others do the summaries also leads to uncertainty because as a question master I feel that I can't correct errors directly (since I try to reserve clear answers to binary questions), but I try to hint that something is off with the summary. Hinting that something is wrong with a summary seems like an easier and less time-consuming task than creating a summary from scratch.
