Remember long spaces when talking about your quirk so nobody will see your posts when/if they look them all up.

Nothin’ to say here – but I always wondered what people were talking about in here when I was a host, so I want to make sure there’s some activity in here. 😃

Oh, **Zoggie** ’s quirk is just brilliant. I hope that at least one of the Hosts is a regular mafia player or they’ll never get it…

I wish I’d thought of it myself…That was all **Idle**. I’m hoping some mafia players or voyeurs take are watching. It’ll be a lot easier that way.

Are you a host?

Then run along now.

I said SHOO!!!

I’m trying not to make mine too easy, but if people keep dropping like they are already it might get rough!

Hey **Diomedes** , I had something slightly different in mind for the quirk I gave you – I just sent you a PM. Hope this helps.

Hosts of the Party, go directly to Pall Mall

Do not pass Go

Do not collect £200

Yes. That. Means. You.

**Zoggie** , I laughed when I saw your first post. I got it straight away (Idle’s used it before, as I remember from my host gig in P1). Don’t worry, I won’t give it away.

I realised after my second post that there were actually three odd things in common between the posts. So I made sure I dropped one for the third post.

Not for hosts  
Not even a little  
Not that this will help much.

I think I’ll be able to run with this for a long time, with that clarification. I’ll make it a little easier for them as the game goes on, though.

Totally unnecessary spoiler space

That’s the shortest I’ve lasted. Oh well, c’est la vie.

Na  
Na  
No Hosts!

It’s going to be awhile before they catch on to me. 😃

Or, I will be free for many hours and days. 😛

Skedaddle, hosts!

Don’t look!

Why are you still looking?

You know, it doesn’t count if you cheat:  
For anyone playingthe home game, the adventurer deal is just a red herring: while it does help throwthe hosts off, more importantly, it sets up a lot of what my quirk entails. (and I’m not speaking in quirk in this thread, by the way…)

_ahem_

Hi there.

Is it safe now??

I almost accidentally gave away \*\*What Exit?\*\*s quirk earlier today. “Hey, is that a Tolkien reference? You know, I never could get into his books but…” :smack: “Hey idiot self, don’t ruin the whole game for everybody!”

I’m just glad I caught myself in time. 😛

There once was a spoiler space here  
And another spoiler space here  
Another one here  
And another one here  
Is it ok to rhyme here with here?\*

**Blaster Master** pretty much blew mine after one post. “WHY ARE YOU SPEAKING FRENCH!” I figured I was safe with hors d’oeuvres. 😛

I figured your quirk was to post as Idle Thoughts. Is that correct? I need to steal it for mine. 😃

no lookie, hosts!

dotchan: quote boxes aren’t included in what’s listed when you’re searched. If a host searches for you’re name, they’ll see that last post.

Yes. That. Means. You.

Am I being a little hard on the hosts? Maybe I should flag things up a bit more.

And will someone please do me a favour and ask me about large numbers? I have an amusing thought for the quirk in mind but I can’t find a way to work it in naturally.
