Who's The Rat?

[manintrees]

Manintrees: Those're all reasons that burt would've fired the first shot. That doesn't mean he informed the mallers about the party, among other things. In fact, while he often disagreed with decisions, I'm sure he preferred living with that over a war that he knew would be really really bad for them. He's smart enough to know the odds.

I suggested that he may have tipped off the mallers before he knew of the party. The last thing Burt would have wanted was his troops to be inebriated.

I have changed my mind about Burt being the rat. 1. I really like Burt and 2. After I made that post I remembered that there were shots fired from an unknown source. These shots kicked off the battle and did not come from Burt.

This is a complete aside, but I think Micheal fumbled the initial discussion with the mallers before the war started. The mallers could never have been trusted but Micheal could have been a little more diplomatic at the start as prisoners stereotypically have irrational respect issues.

If it was me, I would have totally said....actually I would have probably been hiding under a bed weeping with fear...forget it.
