I'm not sure how I feel about "expect[ing] to be confused at all times". Sometimes confusion is just a part of the game, but there are many times when confusion is nonexistent and something you shouldn't feel. (paranoia, on the other hand, is part of the fun!)
Honestly, I think the best piece of advice anyone could give is:
Have fun, it's a game.

To be honest, if you want a good example of a playstyle NOT to follow, then look no further than me. I'm a poor, hunky shell of a man who prefer to fly under the radar while everyone is killing each other, feeling sad because he is all alone...
However, this piece of advice will save your ass:
Invisible Mode? Activate it. You don't want your Xanatos Gambit ruined by pesky detectives looking at your browsing history :P

If someone betrays you or kicks your ass really skillfully, don't get pissed. Make friends with them so you can use them against your enemies, or you can betray them later.

Well I've got all of that down pretty good, especially after my short stay in the last phalla (ongoing last time I checked). I used to be wary of what I posted to begin with, so that way I wouldn't have come off as a craft villain ... yea well, now I check what I post 3 or 4 different times before I post it. A normal post would have taken roughly 30 - 45 seconds. Now it takes goddam near 10 minutes ...
even this one.

The best epic reveals are 'in character', and use appropriate imagery.Example?
Oh, and it's possible to win without resorting to (outright) dishonesty.
Tough, but possible. Now misleading people, that's fair game. :P

Ok, I showed my wife the awesome Viva Phallata graphic and she thought it was neat... but then couldn't figure out how you would get pinata's to want to kill each other... Is there a storyline in this? Or is it every pinata for themselves? I went back over the opening post and couldn't find anything out. I tried to get her to signup but she didn't wanna play with such a silly theme. (I think it's awesome, btw.) So I signed up instead... cause I've only been in 2 (and a reserve) phalla's before.

Because there appears to be more interest than I anticipated, I am going to open a few more slots and keep signups open until 9:00 PM Central Daylight Time (UTC -5:00) tonight. At that time, I'll send out role PMs and then post the opening narration along with the game setup. Day 1 will end the following night.

There will be a story, revealed in the Night 0 narration. I don't promise it will be a good story, but there will be some flavor text. As for piñatas fighting? What if some of them were Sour Piñatas?
Also, piñatas are filled with candy. People like candy. Thus, piñatas, while silly, kick ass.
Rule 1: Betray everyone if you have the opportunity.
Use people and then throw them away like a used rag.
Rule 2: Don't ever ever ever tell random people who the identity of specials, or that you are a special.
This should be self-explanatory, but new players do it all the time to show off how in-the-loop they are.
This counts even if the person is your real life friend.
Yes, I've even done this once when I was new.
I just followed Rule 1 and covered my ass quickly and got away with it.

Aww shucks, I just noticed you used my reveal as the example. Pity all that reveal did was get me killed that night But the reveal was fun!
Sadly, that was the funniest part about it. :P
Also, the best image from that is coming up as broken(Sparrow = nancyboy pirate).
If you google 'Captain Barbossa', its the image on the bottom right of the second page of search results. I would link it properly but myspace is blocked at work

Always read the OP in full. :P

I've also not been in enough to realy be able to give any advice except expect to be confused at all times.
Honestly, I think the best piece of advice anyone could give is:
Have fun, it's a game.
Also, master the art of bandwagon surfing/creating.
Tip: Sometimes killing people who accuse someone else for being evil is a good tactic, It allows you to keep them around a vote bandwagon buffer.
Sorry Thetheroo.

I don't hate him... I'm just against his method of revealing :P
Also, thanks for the grudge!
Why, back in my day...

I'd say Epic Reveals are best when they are use sparingly... and actually epic.
That helps too.

Probably not.
