You know what sucks? There was a PM from @BadAssGardevoir; to @Life; that made me laugh in VGM, and I think part of that PM deserves to go in the quote book but stupid me cleared my PM box before I remembered to do that!

Out of curiousity (going to tag @CrackFox; for this), why is Skype the only IM client in this list anyway?

Skype is the most commonly used.

Going to reply to you here, @CrackFox;, rather than clog up the other thread.

My point was though that other IM clients - Yahoo, IRC and AIM - are pretty commonly used. I can't use skype myself for bandwidth reasons, but I do have Yahoo and AIM. I honestly think listing a person's IM handles in that thread would be a good idea (Using a smaller font if need be)

I have them and PMd them to Aussie once again. No need for CrackFox to be bothered as a result.
I usually delete all game-related PMs after the thread is locked. Since it wasn't locked yet, you were lucky, because I've kept them around.

I bothered CrackFox because I wanted to reply to her reply in the contact information thread.

Either way, it's in the quote book now... and I'm probably going to find out only I find it funny, aren't I? :p

Oh man, reading the Random Messages Mafia looks really good. I loved the cast between the trolls and non-trolls. Can I volunteer to be a cast for the next one? :p

@Pikochu; the cast for RMafia were the top 20 posters in Random Messages. That's why ME is, and always will be, number 1.

Also, I feel cheated that I can't Like posts in the game that I'm hosting.
It's not going to tell anybody anything other than I've got an odd sense of humor...which, TBH, if you haven't figured that one out already, I don't know what to tell you.

My guess is that players might look into it since these players like to read between the lines where none exists! and think there is hidden information there, like that you may have liked a mafia post that looks town. Or an indep (fool) that is looking mafia.

That was just my take on it. I don't think it is an actual rule, just a general courtesy. Same goes for the minimalistic posts when you're the host.

Wait, how am I supposed to Troll people if I can't even post aside from updates?!

This is not as much fun as I thought it would be!

Just kidding. I'm actually having a great time hosting. It just takes a little getting used to.

Trust me I know exactly what you mean. During VGM, I had the urge more than a few times to post and comment on people's posts. I had to fight that urge as it may distract the players AND may unintentionally compromise host neutrality.

I've still got some Tricks up my sleeves, though.
I am hoping to win Best Flavor Text in next year's War Room Awards. I think I'm off to a pretty damn good start, but nobody seems to appreciate my sense of humor. :(

So run a bastard game next time. Hosts can troll so much in those.

Don't give ME any ideas. Seriously. It's a bad idea.

Plus, I actually am having fun hosting my current game, so far.
