Don’t expect every role to be at all straight forward. Last game there were mystic seers who peeked someone and the result would be given to another mystic seer who in turn would peek someone for a different mystic seer and it was a triangle of mystic seers only one was a wolf.

agreed with both paragraphs

treat it as a vanilla and lynch the wolfiest person.

people shouldn’t be voting dancecat

Yeah guys watch really watch what you say once night falls. A lot of stuff which seems harmless at first glance can leave an impression on players later.

Dx4, on this board they let us talk at night, but not about the game. Weird, I know.

ok definitely not strategy. did you know that after dogs get finished fucking they kind of stick together, so to speak, for like fifteen twenty minutes. shows you how we are advanced and shit because normally i use that time to knock a squag or beer back. i mean i feel like leaving but it’s the least one can do.

ok so we get a rescue dog. beautiful looking yellow lab thing (pictures are coming up on giraffe). she’s in heat. puppy is out of his mind. i mean he’s only seven months old but is doing the whole travolta shit and what not. mama is not pleased. “make him stop” “he’s being an asshole” “what a jerk” “put him in the other room so he doesn’t mess with her”. i’m like fucking nature. so she has to run out and get foodstuffs for dinner. the bitch is moaning and puppy is acting like manson in the bedroom. methinks they needs some fresh air. man i kind of wish i was a dog. none of this sweet talking foreplay shit that i have read about. i mean they don’t even have a glass of wine and do the obligatory one dance nonsense its just wham bam thank you maam. but they are getting fixed in the morning so why the fuck not, right. but then they are done but they are still all stuck together. and i am like what the fuck. c’mon finish this shit before mama gets home or there will be hell to pay on so many fronts. and i guess if they were kanoodling i could kind of understand but crap he is facing north and she is facing south so it’s not like they are sharing spit or nothing. i waited until i saw mom’s car pulling up. then i just sprayed them with the hose. did the trick. mom, of course, wants to know why they are all wet and i’m just like we were playing fetch in the water. so they go get fixed. and all is now kind of copacetic on the canine front. was that wrong of me?

I’m afraid to say when I graduated high school. Let’s just say it’s not even in the same decade that anyone has mentioned so far.

Although I have to say that my husband paid me a big compliment the other day when he was lamenting about how ugly all the parents of the other kids on my son’s football team are. He said “why is it that you look half the age of all those other ugly shitbags?” It was very romantic.
