I've liked modding the two games I've done. Would definitely do it again, but writing setups & PMs is the part I'm not as big on. It's a lot of work!

Allen, I checked out your game - you put in a lot of effort and people should play your games if you mod again.

The roles you made and how you did the flavour was very cool, you seem like a good mod and the town just did poorly that game.

Seriously, don't be down on yourself. I know I got voted out on D1, but I kept reading and you had some really great flavor in the role PMs and day/night opening messages.

i pronounce 'disgusting' with a very, very hard g and it freaks people out
how do other people think it's okay to almost make a 'c' sound?

i pronounce 'literally' with a very, very hard t like litter-ally
without fail when people hear me say it for the very first time they always repeat it how i said it with a raised eyebrow

Oh, I have one for this.

In high school a guy in class pronounced epitome as epi-tome (like a book) and even though I know how to say it, forever since then I pronounce in wrong in my head before I say it right outloud.

Also hyper-bowl for hyperbole.

disgusting sounds pretty much the same whether it's a hard g or a hard c. I just tried it out myself. It doesn't really sound wrong at all.

I pronounce literally like a librarian, kind of like litra-lly with a little bit of a lilt between li and tra. idk if that's the best way of describing it but it sounds normal to me and much faster than the full pronounciation.

See, I'm kind of the opposite. I love doing the setups and writing the initial PMs, but it's the actual being there on time and processing stuff thing that I don't like.

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.
Plaster Town Cop
When I was in 5th grade I read Ursula K. LeGuin's "A Wizard ok Earthsea" and had to guess about how to pronounce archipelago because I had never heard it said.
For the next 15 years I said archa-puh-LAY-go until someone had the nerve to correct me.

I also paid too little attention to letter order in a few words which led me to pronounce detritus as "duh-TEER-ious" for a while, and thought Baphomet was Bap-mo-fet until that new statue was unveiled and I looked closer at the spelling.

Ok that's my confession.
