Still snickering at TL getting the Virgin role and slightly relieved she did the dirty with an unnamed extra rather than pede, otherwise she may have been guilty of virtually corrupting a minor depending on what area of the globe you’re in :eek: Though I doubt he’d have minded! ---

Wait! you’re nailed, Rapier. SpEd’s PM only has the ---------------- because he was replied to by storyteller after a PM problem. Mine lacks it. But you missed that Nanook’s ALSO lacks it. You’re busted, bub. unvote Brewha vote Rapier42 ---

> [@Zeriel](#): > > Which --------- line are we talking about? My PM is the same as the other Beta Redshit PMs which are extant. Yeah, I’m confused, now. I rolled back to check my PM, there’s no ------ line there. I swear I C&P’d straight from the PM. I’m going to try it again. ---

Mafia: Evil Dead - Role PM * * * Welcome to the game; you are a Beta Redshirt ALIGNMENT: Town GENERIC: Vanilla WIN CONDITION: All Deadites have been vanquished. BACKGROUND: Every horror movie needs a collection of characters whose only purpose is to die, sometimes horribly, as they help the hero toward his/her goal of standing alone atop a pile of dead demons. Ever since the dying started, you’ve had a sneaking suspicion that you might just be one of those characters… a suspicion that is not at all ameliorated by the fact that, by blind coincidence, you happen to be wearing a nice, cheery red shirt. Your life expectancy is limited, and you have no special powers, abilities, or knowledge relevant to the situation at hand. Still, only the darkest of horror movies end with all the tertiary characters dead: you’ll just have to hope this is Scream and not Alien. One important note. There are two kinds of redshirts in this world: the Alphas and the Betas. The Alphas are the jocks, the student council presidents, the drunken frat boys, the head cheerleaders, the hard-ass authority figures, and so on. The Betas are the others: the smart kids, the computer geeks, the stoners, the well-meaning but ineffectual parental figures, the creepy loners, and so on. You are a Beta. You have no idea if this is a distinction with a difference, but it’s something to keep in mind all the same. POWERS: 1. You have no special powers or abilities, other than your intellect and persuasive ability. Good luck, and try not to die out there. ---

Aha. Found it. Zeriel, go to your PM. Highlight everything from the PM title on down. Notice the line between the title (Mafia: Evil Dead - Role PM) and the first line of the body “Welcome to the game…” becomes lighter than the background. It’s white space, and it turns into the ---- line when I copy and paste it. Notice that the PMs from you and Nanook don’t include the title bar. The PM from Ed and myself do. Try it for yourself, copy and paste your entire PM, from the title bar on down. You’ll get a line of -----'s where that white space is. ---

This discussion is all fine and dandy…but let’s not do a last minute vote switch. Brewha first. Then Zeriel or Rapier42 or whomever. ---

Yeah. I think Brewha is the better lynch, because we get scum, or he gets rid of 5 mostly-dead (and gets an apology from me). I really wanna hear back from Zeriel, tho. It’s going to have to be good to keep me from voting him Tomorrow (if there is a Tomorrow). ---

Hmm, it doesn’t put the line in for me. At this point my tech geek side comes out, so unless you guys are using Google Chrome I’m going to blame it on my browser at this time. unvote Rapier42 vote brewha ---

> [@Zeriel](#): > > When I get home I’ll try it in Firefox. =P Well, and that was my thought as well, that it could be a browser issue. What browser were you using when you posted your PM? ---

SERIOUSLY? You guys are FoSing Zeriel based on a freaking line of dashes, when any scum could just c&p from any of the other PMs? At this point you might as well do what I suggested and lynch the unconfirmed players in alphabetic order or something. Also: Noooo! I don’t wanna be un-limboed! I _like_ being a disembodied head! ☹ … 😃 ---

Don’t worry Dotchan - there’s a chance you’ll remain in limbo. All I know is that I can get rid of 5 1/5 undead deadites. Last count, I believe there is currently 6. Logic would say that it would go in order of becoming undead and that you’re hosed. But, hey, there’s a chance. ---

> [@dotchan](#): > > SERIOUSLY? You guys are FoSing Zeriel based on a freaking line of dashes, when any scum could just c&p from any of the other PMs? Well, it’s more than that… no PM posted previous to his had included the subject line, so there weren’t dashes in any of them. His DID, yet the two PM’s after his also had the subject line, _and_ the line of dashes. So if he did copy a previous PM, the lack of dashes is a tell. I don’t know why he would have manually included that subject line on a fake PM, unless it was to make it look more real… I dunno. I’m willing to buy browser weirdness, as long as he tells us what browser he was using and one of us can duplicate it. ---
