    Nevermind on part of this. I re-read my email.

    Do we have to shout "gotcha" to claim a kill or will the check be in the briefcase?

    We've discussed movies and water spills. What shall we converse about next?
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Was it a Shetland pony?

    My cousins had a pony. A pretty white one. And a horse. We got to ride them when we visited.

    I didn't have a pony, not even at my cousin's house.

    I had pony books, but no pony.

    I had a really big dog, but no pony.

    I had three brothers and two sisters, but no pony.

    I said I would get a pony when I grew up, but I didn't.

    That's a sad, sad story.
    No baby horsie for you. (I know, I know, but even though I know, I still think of them as baby horsies). Some thoughts come from the heart - not the head.

    Time to start thinking about doing laundry.

    I've barely even tried (well, I made one speculative shot) - my word just isn't the sort of thing that comes up in conversation. I'm really not getting the impression that anyone is trying to kill me, either.

    Make it "the"!

    I have undoubtedly overlooked ample opportunities to trap and kill my target.

    Ample opportunities + less-than-ample brainpower = target who is still alive and frolicking

    Isn't he the one that wrote The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I liked that book, and the series. I stopped reading after Life, the Universe and Everything because I heard the ending was depressing, though.

    Well, every year there's a worldwide (well maybe not the whole world) celebration in his honor. It's a cool tribute and you have to be "in" to get it.

    Your kill word will work in any thread in any forum on DoMeBo message board. Kill words will not work on alternate message boards. If DoMeBo crashes for a long while, the GM may extend the Rule of Posting Frequency appropriately.


    I need to read EVERY SINGLE RULE in every game. Arrrggggh!

    From the rules:
    trying to "assassinate" said target by getting her/him to post a particular word.

    No one "got me to say the word" since I'm the OP in that example.

    Though some had made some direct attempts, the group of subtle backstabbers had mostly dispersed, leaving more questions than answers. Is the game still going on? Just who is hunting me? And who keeps setting up all these saw blades? The saw blades were cutting between threads, requiring fancy footwork to dodge as the sly spies hopped from forum to forum. But tragedy, as it was wont to do, struck when it was least expected. Attempting to puzzle out April Fool's day antics, Inner Stickler paused to report the latest news...only to be cut down by the last of the saw blades.

    Ouch.
