Neurotic's link is the word "here" in his post but it's just a Lego storm trooper.

Thanks, the dress took me a while to make and I wasn't really happy with the makeup in the end as it was rushed, but sure. I went as Venom last year and set the bar way too high for myself. It's still my favourite pic of me:P It's the only time of year I get to dress up and be creative! :P

Cool costumes!

I think I'm getting old. Or something. I used to love dressing up for Halloween and making the most of the long weekend by going out and having the lols. I have a bag of home made costumes from nights out over the years.

But this weekend all I wanted to do was sleep. Today I even willingly cleaned.

I think I'm adulting and I don't know how to stop it

I cleaned the shower. Properly full on cleaned with vinegar (limey area), changed my bed, hoovered, cooked dinner... Now I am lying on the couch with 3 lasagna and 3 cottage pies in the oven, and when they're cooked I'm going to drive them into town to give to a charity who feed homeless people. I also made 4 sliced pans worth of sandwiches. It cost me the same amount as a night out, but the people needing food are more important to me.

Tomorrow I think I'll build some Lego.

Oh! I forgot that I also walked the dog. We're dogsitting. She pulled at one stage and her lead snapped! Thankfully I was able to get a hold of her but it made for an interesting walk home.

I have read Boards for years, but it was following your Games that prompted me to sign up. I have followed them all, and found them hugely entertaining. I thought I might be missing something by not being signed in

No, I do not want to play, even after following them all, I'm still no wiser how you all work out the goodies from the baddies, and the Roles from the last one fried my already shrinking brain!

I hope you don't make them private, as I'm sure there are many more following them without wanting to play.

Well done to all,I'm looking forward to the next one.

Ah jasus you're making people sound too smart here. AFAIK, most people just blather their way through the game and kill everyone until they hit a bad guy.

Except Tigger. He's a savant.

Hi and welcome!

Even if you don't want to play but you'd like to follow and discuss the game, you should ask for dead room access for the next game! It's a lot of fun because you can see how clueless everyone else and see all the theories without actually being under pressure to play. I've played three of the four games (though I was killed early enough in one) but sat in the dead room for the other and it was great craic! All said though, I've defo gotten better at the game, game 1 me was completely clueless and wouldn't have picked up on the seer or priest hints in the last game!

It fried mine too! Once you're playing the game you have no option but to pay attention to the roles. I spent last game with a separate tab on on the OP so I could swap back easily and clarify roles.

The amount of times I had posts written only to delete them after reading them for fear that I was giving something away!

By all means keep watching but take the plunge and jump in if you like - it's great fun and worth participating at least once just for the experience.

Thankfully I stumbled across the first game that Jayop posted in AH - the best thing to come out of AH since the 'safe thread'.

It's a lot easier when you're playing, you should give it one go at least, if we have a simpler game maybe to begin but CJ and someone else jumped right into the last one, by far our most complex and got on perfectly fine.

Could we run just a simple game a-la WWI for new people? And then unleash the complexity for Christmas?

My username was born out of frustration when the many names I put in were already taken, annoyed, I put this one in and Voila

I'm happy to just follow for now, and just so you know, I did have you down as a baddie

Chagan was the other. I commented in the DR that both did great. I do think the OPs of every game are very daunting when you first read them, but agree that once you're in the midst of the game, it all starts to come together. Molly is right though, except for Tigger, I think we're all more-or-less using a bit of guess work and a bit of luck to get through it.

A WW1-esque game for the next game might not be such a bad thing. There is somewhat a danger of this forum becoming a bit cliquey, so opening it out to newbies with a simpler version, once every few games probably is a good idea. A good few of us now have Mahama's signature so hopefully word will spread.

Maybe you shouldn't play - too much of a threat

I actually think this is a great idea. No point in making it too daunting for some.

It would also afford a great opportunity for others to get experience at modding a game.

I must copy mahamas sig.

I would be happy to mod a vanilla game, just basic ww with a seer and 1 other role. I might see if I can drum up some more players too elsewhere!

Yeah but Tigger could be a problem in a simple game, it'd be over in an hour. :pac: The complexity was his kryptonite.

Can we gag him for at least an hour then to give the game a chance

+1 to this idea. The last game was incredibly complex.

(Am I the only one who reads WWI as World War I? - it's actually what caught my eye with the first game. I thought, what the hell is a World War I game?)

Sorry, I use the Vanilla name as over on a forum called two plus two they play werewolf and basic games are called Vanilla so they know they are basic rules.

I take it no one liked the different format that was used in WW2?

Was thinking of combining the voting schedule form with the other rules from WW2. I think it would work well.

No I do too, I said that in another thread! :P I'm also up for a chill game, people have surely gotten a bit better at bluffing by now so it'll be interesting.
