Yaaay a spectator The lack of sample PM is intentional Gorlak  Also just to check: what boards can you currently see for this game? |

a spider sees everything O)__(O
but i think a spectator sees the game thread and the spec threads only.

A new challenger approaches.
Darryl is joining. I'll wait for game start to see if there are any dropouts, but if not I can insert him

Absolutely nothing, it's a distraction.
Actual there is a very slim chance of them becoming useful. Depends how much info town shares.

To explain Burb's question: Every player has a "spirit animal" named in their initial PM.
Cabot has already revealed his... I wonder how many will follow

I know there is no in-game significance to the Spirit Animals, but is there any other significance to what animal you assigned to each player? Scrafty's is apparently a Chameleon, which is pretty fitting, given all her roles.

Yeah I assigned animals non-randomly. Where possible I tried to give an animal that fit the poster, it's an early hint that the whole thing is meaningless.
The most obvious is Roy's Goat (I threatened to make him a Goat in a FF spec thread convo), he's already called bullshit on RNG and asked several questions (that I ignored)

I expect spirit animals to dominate D1 discussion. They may be meaningless but it's as good a place to start as any (lol)

Access granted. Beautiful. Hopefully I didn't destroy your no sample role pm strategy with bringing it up.
Right now I'm able to look at the game thread, spec and dead thread. That also means we do have ghosts, medium, zombie shizzle in the game ~ oh my I'm really glad I dogded that bullet ;)
To further the argument about admin rights, I thought you, Retro, made yourself another account to not be an admin and have the opportunity to temporarily deprive yourself of rights to look at everything. Dunno, I'm just thinking of unfortunate coincidences of seeing the scum chat by mistake etc. It would be a pity if something like that lead to a dropout (see zipped at HP, whom I respect very much for the way he handled it!)
It's not about Scrafty at all, I'm fully trusting any member of our community to not cheat on purpose :)
And who the fuck is ridli? Fakeaccounts incoming?

To be honest I was very worried when Scrafty looks at the boards, Scrafty could have had a HUGE spoiler. Luckily Retro called it "the dead thread" so people will only suspect mediums etc...  Anyway, I don't think it's necessary to remove powers, just generally advise not to help on a game you are in - you never know where a spoiler could be lurking |

Anyway, I don't think it's necessary to remove powers, just generally advise not to help on a game you are in - you never know where a spoiler could be lurking I was very cognizant of the possibility of someone going in there. As we get closer to Season 5, there will be work to be done, (which is part of why I don't want to de-mod Scrafty,) so I made sure to make things as murky as possible. As for my account, there's a difference there. Boards can be hidden from these accounts. My old account could always see every board at all times. There was literally no way to hide anything from the Admin. Ridli's a good friend of mine IRL. Be nice to him. Splinter, are you going to explain the central conceit in here? |

Wow, RIP Kalor after that comment
Sorian is in the game less than 10 minutes and manages to draw blood

I think we'll get role PMs to lynches, NKs etc. I think Sorian's was a special case. Maybe Darryl has Sorian's role or something. Good start Ty, I was hoping someone would guess this. Its wrong, but at least you're trying. Wait, we're on day 9? What? Finally. I just realised that "somewhere in the Pacific Ocean" it is actually the 9th Jan right now. That was an accident. The day 9 start is actually a reference to something Sorian said in the recruitment thread (and it is meaningless) |
