Lynch him! He's Nilp in disguise!

Foley, are the rules&roles in the first post the "final draft" of all the debates that have been going earlier in this thread? Like the issue with the Sweetheart/Seer?

Galadriel, as I re-read the first post again, I was asking myself the same question. I haven't had time to peruse the questions and things yet, but I will in the next day or two and have the final draft up before we're ready to start. I'll let you all know.

I can play only if there's no chance it'd go past August 22nd.

. .. My god. Since I don't recall seeing this is the rules (and if anybody's asked about it, I've forgotten), are reveals allowed in this game (they're probably not, because the odds that nobody else has caught this are ridiculous, but you never know)? Because if they are . . .

*prescience*

I'm quite sure that you aren't allowed to state outright that you're the KD. Even though fake reveals make things interesting, it's just too easy a path to take to just say "I'm the KD and these are the Forgers so lynch them".

I remember this because a few months ago I asked if saying "my name is Katey Dawson" (or something of that sort) will be considered "outright"...

Folwren · 08-05-2011, 08:03 PM

Hm. You know, I considered putting that as a rule, but then thought not, but now...yeah...you're right. That would completely ruin the point of the game, wouldn't it?

Note to all - it is being added to the rules that reveals are NOT allowed in this game.

I'm sorry, Foley, but I won't be able to commit to this game. You can blame that thing they call school. Thanks for your invitation, anyway. Happy modding (and happy trying to kill each other, players)!

*cough* There is a certain player on the list who has proven herself very good at revealing in a not-really-doing-it kind of way. May I suggest you add an extra clause along the lines of "'Reveal' includes obvious hinting; exact definition of 'obvious' to be determined by me as I see fit"?

And may I also suggest this be known in future as the "Sally Rule"?

–What? Oh, no reason...

You're just jealous that I'm a close friend of the royal family.

And I'll point out that my last game had plenty of people doing that who weren't me, thanks. Perhaps we should just make it "the sweet princes and sweeter desserts" rule?
