I too prefer Dizzy. Even with the Mahaloth case I’ve got going, Dizzy is my #1. ---

Dizzy’s a female!? I’ve always read it as “Dizzy Mr. Slizzy.” :smack: ---

\*\* Mahaloth’s \*\* PM - if manufactured – is brilliant However it does mate with some of the colour Which re- opens the subject- Is colour just colour? ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Well, shoot, y’all is right. It does say Peasant Readshirt. However, it does mention “extra” in it. I apologize for the error, especially once I get lynched for it. I was mobile and did not flip over to my PM. Here it is, for those who care: > > This is going to be a classic lynch if I get lynched. The time Maha forgot his role title. I do apologize and beg you to reconsider; I was obviously not thinking clearly. The problem here is that though the words “movie” and “extra” both appear in your claimed PM, they’re not really anywhere near each other, let alone one after the other. That makes it a bit difficult to understand how you would have strung them together to create your Role Name. ---

Because you just expressed a reaction to a redshirt PM that would indicate that you don’t have one of your own. ---

So— \*\* Astral and cookies \*\* are softing a red shirt PM and outing me for appearing to not having ( pardon the pun ) a cookie cutter one? Also assuming that all red shirt PM’s are universal Nice work ---

Of course we have to assume that all red shirt PMs are universal - otherwise what’s the point of storyteller posting the sample to prevent handshaking? ---

Yes. Which is why Story gave a sample. You can’t “handshake” when scum have access to the 'shake. ---

You can hold it against me should I try and build a case against you with it, which, come to think of it, I haven’t done. Your over-reaction is null tell from where I’m sitting though. Seems reasonable to me that you could be a town power role kicking yourself for making a slip. ---

On an unrelated note, I see that a commentary thread has been opened for spoiled and unspoiled comments. Can a mod please ask that no spoiled comments be put in that thread? There is no way to keep players from this game out of that thread. ---

To add to that: you showed no hint whatsoever that any part of that PM was familiar to you. Très suspect, no? ---

I haven’t played over here for awhile, but in the olden days the mod would moderate the forbidden threads, and they’d be titled forbidden threads.
