Hm. You know, I considered putting that as a rule, but then thought not, but now...yeah...you're right. That would completely ruin the point of the game, wouldn't it?

Note to all - it is being added to the rules that reveals are NOT allowed in this game.

I'm sorry, Foley, but I won't be able to commit to this game. You can blame that thing they call school. Thanks for your invitation, anyway. Happy modding (and happy trying to kill each other, players)!

*cough* There is a certain player on the list who has proven herself very good at revealing in a not-really-doing-it kind of way. May I suggest you add an extra clause along the lines of "'Reveal' includes obvious hinting; exact definition of 'obvious' to be determined by me as I see fit"?

And may I also suggest this be known in future as the "Sally Rule"?

–What? Oh, no reason...

You're just jealous that I'm a close friend of the royal family.


And I'll point out that my last game had plenty of people doing that who weren't me, thanks. Perhaps we should just make it "the sweet princes and sweeter desserts" rule?

Quite honestly, I thought that was obvious.

It will just ruin the game if there are reveals like that. Won't it be sufficient if the players realize that and play accordingly?
