Then I told the others the same; needless to say the entire game, the "island" was breaking them down.  Steven poisoned Ben, Ben forced Rick to enter a suspicious room first, etc.  I've done this in a few ways and I always try to leave one character alone, who doesn't know anything of the meta-lies to act as a pacifier.  He is usually the strongest/smartest player and I leave it to him to try to save his friends.  Anyway, anyone have any thoughts?</blockquote>
