[QUOTE=dotchan] Party II Speculations Follow! Hosts, do not read further! Do not pass Go! Do not Collect $200! Besides, my guesses could always be wrong… (spoiler space) Taber thinks he’s the protagonist of a movie (I saw Gone With the Wind a while back, and Clockwork Orange, I believe.) Kat is an incredibly narcissistic actress. Mine’s probably going to be harder to guess because I’m trying to do it without being TOO obnoxious. But I think I can pull it off. [/QUOTE] osts, do not read further! Do not pass Go! Do not Collect $200! Besides, my guesses could always be wrong… (spoiler space) I did, in order, Gone with the Wind The Godfather Mystery Science Theater 3000 Harold and Kumar go to White Castle ---

Yea, I thought I’d figured out **twickster’s** quirk about her third post. ---

[QUOTE=Eureka] Yea, I thought I’d figured out **twickster’s** quirk about her third post. [/QUOTE] Can you think of a way to do it more subtly? ---

Sadly, no. Not that I performed my quirk all that subtly either. ---

Once we’ve been guessed and confirmed, are we allowed back in the thread just to futz around? ---

I think my quirk was pretty easy to tell…or I am a dumbass. I probably could have tried harder 🙂 ---

Hey **Idle** - Do you think I should start dropping bigger hints about my quirk? I could give it away pretty easily, but I’m trying to be vague about it. What do you think? ---

Type and space for spoiler space [QUOTE=lightingtool] Hey **Idle** - Do you think I should start dropping bigger hints about my quirk? I could give it away pretty easily, but I’m trying to be vague about it. What do you think? [/QUOTE] Reading your posts over, I think you’re doing fine. 🙂 It’s all up to you. Right now I think it could be guessed, so if you want to make it harder or easier to get, that’s your choice. ---

Should I be doing anything differently? I’ve dropped a few hints, but no guesses yet. More hints, or just right? The most difficult thing about mine is keeping the conversation varied enough so that I don’t mislead anyone. ---

Spoiler space Party Game hosts do not read! You have been warned. _sings_ “I’m a little teapot…” Is that enough stuff and nonsense there? So, am I being too subtle? ---

Space for spoiler. [QUOTE=fachverwirrt] Should I be doing anything differently? I’ve dropped a few hints, but no guesses yet. More hints, or just right? The most difficult thing about mine is keeping the conversation varied enough so that I don’t mislead anyone. [/QUOTE] Yours is a tricky one. I think if you were to make more of a show about getting the right ones too (and not just the wrong ones). Like “hmm this one safe?” or “let’s see about this one. Ahhh good!” Stuff like testing it out if the post is good or not. Yours is a hard one to get though because it entails stuff not JUST about the posts you’re making. However I think that **dotchan** wins the prize for hardest one to get in this game. Really, she HAS nothing that shows up in her posts. It’s just what her intended goal is that’s her quirk.
