Why do you think I put out a call for a new copy editor?

I got lots of PMs, 14 pages of them…

Is “Some third party players may have exclusive win conditions” compatible with “YOU WIN if at any checkpoint (Dawn or Dusk) all 14 Scum players (Wolves + Mafia) are dead.”? Or can we intepret that win stealers can’t win if there’s no scum left?

About the Patsy, there’s a strategy about claiming off the bat, I think the revenge kill might even make a stronger case, add “faulty” cop results.

Seer and cop can’t distinguish mafia from wolves, or can? “Scum (Wolf or Mafia)"

Wizard sounds like a fun role to play.

What’s the link between Leprechauns and cereals?

Batman is a compulsory vig? What’s the strategy there? Didn’t that role go badly wrong for someone - SisterC? Only with redirection though.

Lucky Charms cereal uses a leprechaun as their mascot.

**Guiri** Frankly I’m stuck at why we need to know you have 14 pages of PM s. There are a few ways to parse “got”. Can I ask you to rephrase that? Cause I’m not sure I understand this fairly. I can tell you that I got one pm. … Hopefully you understand where I’m coming from.

Yes, the pairing of SisC being a compulsory vig is in my mind too. I believe it went south for her.

Step 1) Receive role PM  
Step 2) Reset “posts per page” to 200.  
Step 3)???  
Step 4) Get lynched or otherwise killed.  
Step 5) Profit!

Anyway, I’m at step 3.

And you’re actually surprised at this? In **Previous** games, I think I skimmed the most.

If the Leprechaun dies can we suspect there is a 3rd party cereal killer?

This.

And I’ve gotten my PM as well. So now you can consider a bias to my posts or not, but that’s why it’s nice to start discussion of the mechanics ahead of time.  
Remember, Scum like silence, Townies want people talking. We need to keep bumbling along and talking once day 1 starts and the game mechanics discussion always is filler (because town/scum both can contribute and not add things) that’s why it’d be useful to get that outta the way first.
