**Hosts – get the hell out of here.** This is the discussion thread for the Party IV thread. Guests – hosts will be doing searches for “all posts by …” with your name, so make sure you start each post with a few extra returns or some harmless blah blah so they don’t see anything they shouldn’t. Any questions or comments, let me know. Have fun! ---

Hi, hosts. I don’t think you want to be here. That wouldn’t be very nice, would it? . . . . . . . I think my quirk’s going to be guessed really quickly, but at least I’m having plenty of fun watching some classic TV! ---

Hosts, you shouldn’t be searching my posts, but if you are, bug off. Yeah, I’m afraid it’s hard to do subtly – but I loved your opening line. ---

I am confused. What do we use this thread for as opposed to PMs. ---

To talk to each other. Or you can ask me questions here – I just PMed you because I wasn’t sure you’d know to look in here. ---

[QUOTE=Baffle] Hi, hosts. I don’t think you want to be here. That wouldn’t be very nice, would it? . . . . . . . ☹ I’ve already been guessed! [/QUOTE] So what happens to you now? Do you continue or do you bow out? ---

Guests can continue to post in the party thread, as long as they stay in quirk. It generally becomes less interesting once you’ve been guessed, unfortunately. ---

I can keep posting (always in my quirk), and talking to the other guests, but I’ve already been guessed, so now they can concentrate on everybody else. Edit: Just noticed, I lasted exactly one hour between first post and correct guess. ---

Hi, hosts. I don’t think you want to be here. That wouldn’t be very nice, would it? . . . . . . . **dotchan** is a presidential candidate, possibly Hillary Clinton. ---

Spoilers for Party IV! No peeking from any hosts! Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200, electronically or otherwise! When come back bring pie. S p o i l e r S p a c e Having been a hostess last game, I decided to make it easy to guess mine. I figure they should have something narrowed down within the next few posts. (Yeah, I’m sabatoging my own side. Whatcha gonna do about it? 😃 ) _EDIT_ to correct typo, because I can. 😛 ---

Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Spoiler space Is that enough meaningless spoiler space? Well, I have to say, it’s nice not being one of the last guessed. Oh, and **What Exit?** obviously must post a paired term (of the form “\_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_”) in every post. There’s probably a simpler way of describing that… ---

Y’all are doing great – I’m totally cracking up reading this. And **fachverwirrt** – damn, I’m loving your gusto. ETA: **Kat** – I just now realized that you got kind of another version of your quirk from the last round – sorry – I really did assign the quirks randomly.
