Players should be banned from posting things like "Oh, now I'm dead!" but I think that they should still be allowed to ask questions about technicalities or other gameplaying aspects.

Here and now I want to highlight the mistakes I made in moderating the last game (only two!) just to try and help future moderators. Don't overlook anything!

1) Even after Saucepan Man suggested I watch out for use of terms 'his' 'he' 'her' and 'she' I still went and made a mistake. Something about the Seer and her dreams. A couple of observant players notified me very quickly, for which I am grateful!

2) I also forgot to pick a Guardian! So I had to randomly choose one of the ordinary villagers and PM her back to let her know! Thankfully there was no confusion.

And Saucy made reference to my 'flair' on the other thread....

Also, tgwbs, be sure to set aside plenty of time when starting the game and assigning roles; it takes a lot longer than you'd think!

Another tip, this time about the Hunter.

Because Azaelia couldn't get on the internet regularly, I suggested that she did the following: every time she got on, she PMd me with her current choice of villager to kill should she be lynched in the evening or slain in the night.

This meant that I could post her death scene without waiting for her to contact me. I think it worked out really well.

For anyone who's interested, her original suspicions were Saucepan Man and the phantom before eventually making a great choice - the werewolf Holbytlass.
