5. No reproducing the host PMs in thread.
6. No jackassery. If you feel the need to be a jackass, send a message to the Mod on Duty istead of posting it in the thread. This is a big one.
7. Have fun!

I noticed this as well. I think extreme caution indicates that role outing should not be insinuated with an info dump. That is just a guess.

But if Cliff is nightkilled, nobody would know he was dead, so this strategy might not be ideal. Imo, Xander would be better off choosing players he thinks should be nightkilled.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to let us all know how honest you are being when you said that. Maybe you thought that if you had said "I don't think you're on Xander's team", we might not think you were being honest about it. So, good thing you clarified that with a totally necessary adverb.

I took Llama's rule to mean in-thread stuff. If he wants to limit what Xander can say in the secret message, so be it. The Xtacles will know soon enough.

Ahhh, I didn't take into account that the Xtacles would know their own name.

So yes, hmm, this strategy could work for at least the first few days, until too many people are NK'd, then it would be dicey.

Don't get me started on adverbs. I use a lot of them, and tend to write how I talk, so deal with it.

I'll admit that I haven't submitted any strategies myself, and have only harped on your ideas. Because if we follow through with your plan, what happens after a few Xylaphones are possibly killed at Night? This bold strategy will not make him invincible in the long run.

So are you saying you are an Xtentacle with that "we"?

This "fun" however does not make for a happy Made, as I am actually getting nothing from what has been said so far. I suppose I can start with the salt spewing:

Ahem
MP smells funny
Nightwing is a second rate superhero

Actually tho, no pings thus far :/

*eyes Epi and MP*

Don't understand what LC is on about with the xtancle thing but that does not make him suspicious in my mafia playbook what does read suspiciously is Scotty's take on LC's post about it but I won't be voting Scotty Day 1 but may consider it for Day 2.

I also won't be voting Hambuger Boy, Ika, Sig, Mac's Mom or Saberfish.

I likely will not be voting Das Porcu or Made either.

Everyone else is fair game for me

I am not liking Gmans style this game the Magic 8 balls have always given me the creeps. It, however, is nothing to vote over.

I totes believe SVS when she said she had misread the roles. I read them and still do not understand them all.
Wish I was apje and could ask a ton a poignant questions about them.

I will catch back up after work and see if I feel anything else.

You should vote for Stan.

I'm sorry, but who's Stan?

Stan is a guy who's going to automatically start killing some relatively important Civs every day on Day 2.

timmer wrote:Sorry guys, I didn't realize that we had started!

I'm a little pinged by the fact that SVS apparently misread the roles, since her reply to Long Con about the Xtacles isn't accurate. But I suppose that's a ping that doesn't really indicate an alignment so I'm not sure where to go with it. I'll tune in more tomorrow night. Game on!

I dont really see how misunderstanding the roles could be indicative of her alignment. Are you thinking from an angle like baddies don't have to care as much as Civvies about understanding all the roles maybe?

I misunderstood Xanders messages, I was thinking any civs could get that info. Even understanding it, I am still leery of Xander sharing his identity. Although I think the risk is fairly minimal since the roles are not very vague as llama roles can sometimes be. I am sure Timmer has seen me make similar careless errors regardless of alignment, so Timmer. The last game we played together I went the whole game having misread my own role Lol.

I have read the Epi MP convo a few times. If I have learned anything it is that blurting out my opinion on either can be a mistake for me so I want to reserve judgment at this time.

My phone corrected Xander to Cancer yikes. And the color tags are really hard to read on the light theme, so I may have to switch to dark for this game.

Ok, no more colour tags.

And you're wrong, Xander should absolutely let the Xtacles know who he is. For starters, we won't be mislynching him then. And if he can get the Xtacles coordinated, they could actually protect him at night, every night! In addition to that, so long as enough live, they could coordinate a roleblock every night as well, which could end up finding baddies when kills fail.

I'm glad, on the one hand, that there haven't been many posts, because my life is super busy right now, but man this is a boring Day 1 so far.

Maybe I'll cast my vote soon.

Thats what MdKills are for and Hosts need to learn to do it.

The last game I hosted (it was not here but on AW) I ModKilled a record 5 people for non participation. I find ModKilling to be quite liberating

I already have one replacement lined up which I am not afraid to use. I am good friends with Mac's Mom and have ben bugging him to post. He seems very cofused by the whole thing. If it comes to modkilling, I am not above that.

I'll give them a few days though.
