So did I miss where it started already? It’s Friday.

Can Idle Thoughts link to the new thread in this thread when he starts it?

My guess, based on playing in the last one, is that **Idle Thoughts** forgot about starting the game. It will probably be played here in this thread, once he wakes up, sends out PMs, etc. I have the impression that he’s from California and is a night owl (though my East Coast 9 to 5 posting habits may be misleading me). So don’t worry yet.

Is there anything wrong with being unable to let go of a quirk?

Sorry, guys. 😕 Just been busy in real life and then also, online, being in two mafia games. I’ll host it sometime in a week or two, but someone else can feel free to host if they want sooner.

I’ll do it, if i can think up enough quirks. Do you want to play in this one, **Mr. Fucker**? 😉

All right… Idle hasn’t come in here to tell me not to start this, so I’ll just run with it. I think a time limit of about ten days should be enough, two weeks seemed a bit long last time. We’ll say all guesses will be due on Wednesday, October 24th, by Noon EST. The partygoers can start posting as soon as they get their PMs.

The Hosts for this round will be

**dotchan  
bbs2k**  
and  
\*\* twickster\*\*

The Guests are, in no particular order:

\*\*

1. Kat
2. fachverwitt
3. fluiddruid
4. Eureka
5. DiggitCamera
6. BlaM
7. featherlou
8. Anaamika
9. OneCentStamp
10. Priceguy
11. Zoggie
12. Malacandra
13. Aesiron
14. Taber
15. Purplkid\_Caterer

\*\*

PMs going out momentarily. All the rules will be the same as in the last two games: Guests should keep posting until a correct guess is confirmed by me.  
**Each and every** post must contain the elements of your quirk. And the Partygoers should try to post regularly: the Hosts can’t guess if they don’t have anything to go on.  
The Hosts get one guess per Partygoer to find out what their disorder is. If they can successfully guess all the quirks, they win. If not, or if they run out of guesses for any one player, then the Partygoers win.

Everyone but **Priceguy** should have their quirk PMs now. **Priceguy** , you are set to be unPMable. Can you switch that up so I can send you your quirk?

I noticed **twickster** said she didn’t want to be a host because she’d be busy this weekend, but this is starting two days later than expected, so I hope it’s okay. If you really don’t think you can do it, please tell me, and I’ll pick another Host out and give you a new quirk.

And **Idle** , if you want in as either Host or Guest, just say the word.

You know what they say… The early bird gets the worm!

Beer at 6:45 in the morning?!? I’ll have some punch, thanks, and a few cookies.

I have a feeling I will be spending my work hours printing this thread out and examining it for clarity.

I don’t wany any cookies, because I’d have to trek all the way over to the dark side to get 'em. 😉

I could go for a nice stack of pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast, though. Or some chocolate cake.

Why not? Oh, no, wait… I have to go to work tomorrow. Are you up for breakfast around 5:30 am? Or we could make it lunch. I think I’ve heard of a place that makes a great Philly cheese steak.
