    I applaud your epic reveal, sir. Not using size 99 font is indeed the hallmark of a true gentleman revealer.

    I also applaud your twisting of information. The entente scum indeed made a good choice when they selected you to your post... To lie in such an upright and straightforward fashion is worthy of the highest levels of espionage. What you have said is SO much more attractive and sounds SO much better than "Tell me all your secrets, we won't use them against you, honest".

    Neutral forces, the entente care nothing for your secondary win conditions. Work with the German forces, and you can still succeed when and if your primary win condition should fail.

    Oh and IF you should want to share any private information with me, you're welcome to do it. We on the north side of the map do not seek to require it of you up front, because we're not going to stab you in the back at the slightest provocation.

    My PM box is open to you, good sirs and madame.

    Yes, because the Triple Alliance / Central Powers really represented the honorable, honest, non-"here's a blank check Austria, why don't you go crush Serbia so I can draw England in to a war because their bigger navy hurts my feelings" side of the war.

    I think you are lost, sir. The english recruitment office is that way

    Hey, it's not my fault I was born German. I actually belong to a very small cult that believes our nationalities are chosen at birth by a strange god with a bit of a mean streak. We do not speak his full name, but abbreviate it to PL1. I am merely fulfilling my General's wishes, as any good soldier would.

    OK so I've come up with a way to fix my mistake without unfairly revealing anyone. It's not perfect but it will have to do. For turn 2 I will post all units that suffered losses for Turns 1 and 2. Disregard the 1st narration's list.

    You can epically reveal as Winston Churchill if you want. You'd be in the wrong war and we'd laugh at you, but there's nothing in the rules against lying up, down and sideways.

    See the english post on neutrals for further study. :P

    For those of you that still don't trust me, I offer you this information:

    We have a seer. He seered Squashua last night, who must be some sort of enemy leader, because it revealed a literal truckload of information. Squashua is evil, but he is also immune to the vote, so don't waste your votes there. We have reason to believe other traitorous bastards are immune to the vote as well, and thus I would assume El Skid is merely trying to draw votes on to his immune traitorous ass.

    Oh Shizer!

    Clarification: Does the vote still fully effect members of the Central Forces?
    Even if it doesn't, it's better for us to 'waste' it on a confirmed/highly likely Central Forces target then shoot blindly with it.
    Perhaps, perhaps not.

    Revealing fake info? It's a time-honored Phalla Tradition.

    It...is?

    I'll field this one:

    I'm new here. This is my first full on PA phalla. However, I've spent a couple months lurking around this place watching these games. The first night is a crap shoot at best, but it makes sense we would want to seer an experienced player first. Thus I suggested we just RNG a list of all the more experienced players to pick someone for our seer on the first night. Like I said, I don't know any of you, but my time spent lurking has taught me who posts a lot.

    Your name came up. Could've been DA. Could've been TehSpectre. Could've been Mr. E or various others. But it wasn't. It was you, and you're with the Central Powers.

    But please, waste your vote on me, it won't save you.

    Don't worry. Everyone knows that people running phallas only arbitrarily kill inactive players.

    And maybe overly active players.

    And sometimes some other players at random.

    So you're safe! :P
