Only 13 minutes left…you can make it!

And hopefully the reveal is right on time. It’s not as though Gad hasn’t had plenty of time to write it up 🙂

Instead of comparing ‘wolf’ messages to each other and ‘village’ messages to each other, I am wondering if we can compare the number of incorrect and correct messages from day to day. There were two ‘wolf’ messages yesterday. Are they both incorrect? We have at least one incorrect message whisperer, who whispered gnarly was sucm, but do we have two (not counting Blaster)?

I think the only whispers that are confirmed at this point are the ones concerning **Blaster Master** and **Dancecat** , and they sent those directly. So as far as anything from our Detectives, I think they’re all still up in the air.

And even if we had confirmed results, it’s not as simple as “right vs. wrong”. If you consider the possibility of Paranoid (always finds “Scum”) and Naive (always finds “Town”) Cops, then even “right” or “wrong” reveals don’t mean anything.

Of course, i have never actually seen Paranoid or Naive Cops in an actual game, but this game did promise the new and different…

Silver Jan, **WAKE UP!**

Now, go to bed!

And I’m going to get out of the office now, before somebody notices I’m still here and gives me more work to do.

Whoever said he would have been insta-modkilled for posting his true role PM was exactly right. (Although, to be fair, Idle skirted a little bit too close to the line with the Detective roleclaim that got him into trouble to begin with, as far as quoting verbatim from his PM. Be careful about that, guys – and not just because failing to edit your win condition may be hazardous to your health. ;))

Yeah, I hear you but you have to give people a little leeway. I had no idea that when I answered a question that it was against the rules to say that the Mod had told me to. I had read the rules but sometimes when you are trying to defend yourself things just come out of your fingers 🙂 I do agree with the No Posting of your PM cos that goes against the spirit of the game.

I am still talking cos I had just made myself a Vanilla Cap and it’s hot 🙂

I definitely agree with all of this. Like I said earlier, I’m not a monster. 🙂

ToMorrow will start sometime after noon your time – no promises as to when. I have a job, too. 😉
