[QUOTE=hocow] Speaking of eggs, mine aren’t getting any younger. Alas, I do not know how I can bring forth life with my one true love. I suppose a turkey baster would be out of the question. She is much to classy for that. [/QUOTE] Frankly, I think you may want to keep that particular factoid to yourself. ---

Haven’t caught up on the game yet, but I’m posting to say that I need another Host. So any one of you Partygoers volunteer? Usually with this many Partygoers, there’s about three Hosts, as two seems just too stacked. Whichever one of you wants it is free to have it. Just post here or PM me saying so and your quirk will then be revealed and you’ll be a Host/Guesser from here on. ---

Oh, and you’ll be replacing **anyrose** …who is the only Host left who can guess on a couple Partygoers. ---

All caught up now. Man, it was full of laughs. Another great time is, once you learn what everyone’s disorder/quirk is, going back and reading their posts seeing how they referenced and showed it. **fisha** , now you’re getting the hang of it. 🙂 It’s always good to let ideas and feelings come first before guessing. Letting a full day or so go by and talking with the Partygoers before wagering some guesses. Looking at each person singled out and trying to learn it from all of their posts. Like I said yesterday, Hosts may ask as many questions of the Partygoers as they want and also talk openly with their fellow Hosts about what they think a person may have. Just remember to put actual, official guesses in **BOLD** so I know the difference between talking it over and guessing. Anyway, third Host yet? Anyone? ---

Okay. **Attention** **MHaye** is joining the Party as a Host/Guesser. (Anything he’s read in the other topic, by the way, is fair game, since it doesn’t tell much anyway (at least I hope, haven’t checked it lately. :p)) Have fun with your new Host. ---

Tips for Hosts (now and in future games). 1. Wait on guessing. Only guess if you’re fairly sure. 2. There’s no time limit. Take some time to get to know your fellow Partygoers. Talk to them, ask them questions, read over and review their past posts looking for common quirks and stuff. 3. You may openly talk with your fellow Hosts asking what they think and giving your opinion on anyone and not have it count for a guess. “I think blah is thinking he’s in a football game” is more than fine to say…just remember to bold official guesses so I know the difference between guessing and throwing ideas out to your fellow Hosts or talking to yourself. 4. Even though some Hosts may not be able to officially guess on some Partygoers anymore, they can still talk about them with fellow Hosts and say what they think. Just not guess anymore (for that Partygoer). I guess I should have included these at the beginning of this game. Really, Hosting isn’t so bad. I’ve seen it be about equal in this game (at least in the games I’ve modded) towards the Hosts and Partygoers. Sometimes the Partygoers win…but a lot of the times the Hosts have too. Most of the quirks are pretty simplish. Nothing very complex or in depth. Most of the time when someone gets one, or are told what they are, much head slapping happens. ---

I don’t like people who name themselves after my favourite food! Even when I’m too afraid to digest my T-bone … Still, there are still some decent, fine human beings here at the party. Care to join me for a beer, **twickster**? **Autolycus** and the other normal guests and hosts are welcome too! Six of you in all - met me under the bed with the lights all turned on. And I’m safe, don’t worry! It’s all those others … _shudders_ ---

[QUOTE=MadTheSwine] _Game off_ Ya gonna put the correct guesses next to the players names? [/QUOTE] When it applies, I will. Haha. Right now only one guessed is **zuma** , and since there was only one Host who guessed for him, it’s obvious he was the one that guessed it. But as the game goes on, I’ll put in italics (or something) the one who guessed that person correctly (if more than one took a guess). ---

_Ambles in, light jacket over shoulder._ Why hello. Somebody organised a party here and forgot to tell me? Good thing I finished early. Feels a bit weird gatecrashing a party when you’re supposed to be hosting it. Ah well… Yes **Mad** , I know I can’t wear **anyrose** ’s shoes. They’re far too small, and besides I look _terrible_ in heels. Hi there **Fluiddruid**. Long time no see. Don’t let me stop the party. Anyone got beer and pretzels? _Disappears off, comes back sans jacket and heads for the snacks._ ---
