Just so you know, **Episkey** , there’s no possible way you could say something as ridiculous as **peekercpa**. I’m pretty sure his diet consists of ferret kibble laced with PCP. 😃

Meta-gaming - Anything brought up or talked about that may affect the game but isn’t about anything happening in game.  
“Gastard” - Bastard mod/game - A game that is set up against the players where the mod usually makes up the rules as they go along.

Dangit people! We’re already near 100 posts, and not only has the game not started, we’re still looking for another dozen players…and I thought the DnD game going on now was bad…

Oh, and **peeker** , I’m pretty sure you’re the only one getting a role PM. You see, the rest of us aren’t really playing; we’re just here to provide flavor while we read your posts. The plan was to watch you spiral out of control trying to figure out Day Night after Day after Night of no-kills, while we all claimed Vanilla. We weren’t supposed to say anything until Day 4 or so.

But I like you too much to put you through all that.

I always pictured you more as a “speed” guy than “PCP”, but if you insist. 😃

At least half of that is the feeling that the player list has some elements of getting the gang back together, or a few separate gangs.
