Speed, can you give an example of what specifically would qualify as flavor claiming?

Woahhhh

So we can claim but shouldn’t all claim at once? What is flavor claim? I prefer strawberry over vanilla

Flavor Claiming is revealing what character or name or relation your role might have to the theme. Your flavors will not be helpful, and I don't want the game to turn into an elimination to try and find the 'bad' flavors or 'fake flavors'. So I'm discouraging it, mostly as a waste of time. It won't get you mod killed or anything.

Tldr Don't be all like "I'm Biff Tannen!" Or you will look silly.

Yay game.

Instead of using a "Like" function, whenever I think a post is clever or insightful on The Syndicate, I just yell the phrase "LIKE" at my computer screen. It feels more satisfying.

I never would have imagined that the sentence "I accidentally liked my ex-girlfriend's picture" would be one that would make sense, but here we are.

More clarification since this type of setup is not common here.

Massclaims tend to discourage actual scumhunting. I won't go into detail, but trust that, given the way I set this game up, Massclaims would not help you sniff out scum using POE. The surprise of the game would be ruined, and town would not benefit at all.

The flux capacitor only has enough juice to get back to November 1929. Does that work for you?

Speedchuck revealed all of our roles when the game finished and you saw then that I was town. Town won, too.

whenever i read a post on here I also subconsciously look for a "like" button

sometimes I'll be watching TV and there'll be a good joke or something and I'll try to do the same thing. I won't move but my brain will fire the signal like "hey, that was good humor you should click that like button"

What happens if we run into a version of ourselves from the past?

Is there a specific set of laws governing time travel? And if so, do those laws allow us to go back in time to kill the original lawmaker?

How much do sports almanacs cost?
