    Hiya folkettes!

    There is waaaaaaay more wimmins here than on any other part of boards (barring tLL I suppose), it's especially surprising considering it's a game!! :P

    I also missed the whole pics thing but I defo did enjoy when I read the describing each other thing! I did see the Andy pic, also shocked. Was fully convinced he was in his 50s with kids my age! :D:pac:

    QB, dunno how I completely missed you were a girl! I had you pictured as a short, slim, dark haired slightly hyperactive guy with glasses! Didn't cop at all the in the last game that you, me and Xara were an all female killing team!

    I am sickened I'm missing the beers! If I wasn't already going to be in Lisbon in Nov for the web summit I'd almost consider flying home for the weekend! :P I've been on boards for years although at varying levels of interest and I've never made it to a boards beer.

    You're not alone. Most people assumed male. It didn't bother me one way or another, so I never corrected them. It was only after WW3 that I mentioned it when talk of the beers got serious, I thought people should know. I had quietly grinned to myself though, about the three Baratheon brothers all being women! :)

    Haha, yeah I get that, I think if you don't have an female sounding user name people (myself included) assume you're a dude. Like I thought Xaracatz is surely a girl, same for Cee Jay and MrsFlushDraw obviously. In most other parts of boards they assume I'm a guy too, also never bothers me but I do correct on occasion! :P

    I am on the last episode of season 1, not as good as I thought it was going to be. Didn't grab me from the first episode like The Blacklist and Mr Robot etc but going to keep watching it.

    I am not into gore, and although I watch Game of Thrones and Vikings which is a bit bloody etc I am finding TWD a bit yuck! but will stick with it for now.

    Ahahaha just found this in the vampire backroom and it made me lol hard:
    i think its 50% as lucifer would be holding back more, the picture of a red haired woman on her profile probably is activating my conformation bias

    Tigger, the red haired woman is Ariel from the Little Mermaid, and it's my sig coz I have red hair. Yay confirmation bias! :)

    The blue man in my avatar is Sully from monsters inc.

    It's based on my name. I am not blue in real life.

    i'd want to do a game where we all re-reg with clean accounts
    barman
    barmaid
    brewer
    blacksmith
    mayor etc
    stuff like that and play in the back room and we discuss the game openly on boards using our normal accounts so its two games at the same time and the dead room isopen to all from the start

    i'm trying to work out how it goes but for example i might be the barman and i might be a werewolf so i represtent that i'm just a barman on the otherplace and we play were wolf

    but in the "dead" room we are all talking so i'm tigger and i might say i think the barman is a wolf and then we lynch him so i'm out of the game as the barman but i'm still in the discussion as tigger

    so dont say i'm dead in the game and near the en there might be 6 players left in the game but there is still 24 players left in the discussion room who may or may not be alive and they are pushing for their team or they are interested in whats goingg on or they are being helpful or not

    so its two games going on at the same time in two different forums on about 5 different threads

    i thionk it might need three teams each with a room and some villagers with one shot powers to make it interesting.

    i wouldn't be playing but for example if i was id have to try to post inthe style of someone else to throw off the link between tigger and mr barman

    yeah the mechanics are the bit i'll have to think about
    i like the idea that people can keep playing for their team but they mighn't even be on that team or helping at all
    you could say on the boardss area i voted for barman
    on the back area 1i voted for bar maid
    and in the "wolf " area i voted for mayor cos i think he'ss one of the other team

    i like the idea you could throw yourself undera bus and then be saved buy you enimies

    That is taking 'complicated' to a whole other level. Not sure I'd be able to keep up with that.

    Remember during the game I mentioned that I couldn't get in on my phone, well I had the same with my tablet and then my laptop. Had to reset my password. This is the second time in the last couple of weeks this has happened,

    ALSO I was saying about not getting emails anymore? still not.
    NOW I noticed I didn't see sigs, so went in and it was removed and also avatars, I had an avatar but can't remember what it was and wasn't till I switched back on avatars I recognised Valeyards and Mollys etc

    This is all so odd. Has anyone else had any problems like this? I know I didn't make these changes to my account.

    if there was some sort of boards website update recently or something it may have re-set all the options to default?

    It's a great idea, but I'm not sure that boards admins would allow the game of re-reg accounts?

    I'm envious. Kinda. I can't run but I'm trying to learn as I want to be able to do 10km. Hopefully bike fitness equates to running fitness...
