Oh, touche Flay.

It's actually not, once you get used to it.

You go to the Queue forum, figure out what kind of game you want to play, and then open that thread and sign up for it by typing "/in".

Useful info can be found here:

And then for later:

OR, you could use a different topic for each different issue, which is why they made different topics in the first place, ani.

If they wanted everything to be run together in one post, then this site would be one huge chatbox. Stop replying, please.

You're allowed to make public alliances in-thread. I have done it multiple times, and it works great.

You are NOT allowed to communicate OUTSIDE of the thread unless explicitly stated in your role PM.

[ReaperCharlie]

You're not allowed to speak to anybody outside the thread, unless stated otherwise. Forming alliances in games is generally poor form.

Tell that to the alliance in THIS game.

We rocked the fuznuckin' HOUSE.

Also, they cannot be formed pre-game.

Yes, good addition.

And they are not allowed to be held over from game to game, whether "officially" or "unofficially" (well, as official as an unofficial alliance ever gets).

[ReaperCharlie]

That's kind of the point.>_> You can ally with helpful people, but do they really possess the role that they say? When I did not allow private communication, the players rallied for it until I changed the rules.

Good, I just wanted to make sure you understood the rules. Getting your nose whapped for something you don't know is wrong is No Fun.
