Mod notes:

So I failed to hit 'send' on insanity018's role PM. And also didn't get the whole 'press submit when making access changes to private topics' thing. So even though I got 7/9 confirmations in like 10 hours, I'm delaying start of game for 24 hours to allow Mafia and Neighbors proper access.

[penguin_alien]

...this is going to be one of those games. I flipped jklash12 with the wrong flavor, Takeout Double instead of Negative Double. And the other neighbor has that flavor. I've contacted quadz08 to see how I should proceed.

Night actions:

RedCoyote commutes (shot consumed)
Antihero sends in nothing (shot retained)

insanity018 investigates Antihero (gets back one-shot roleblocker)
insanity kills RedCoyote (unsuccessful due to commute)

[penguin_alien]

For the record, since the only mistake was in flavor, quadz08 said I should just correct it and point out the correction.

As far as RedCoyote's speculation goes, heh, flavor is meant to tie in with the roles a bit (Jacoby transfer bids the suit under the one he wants partner to bid to avoid having to play the hand, hence commuting away) (both neighbors are doubles, saying similar things about what suits their partners can bid but slightly different in terms of necessary points and number of suits indicated) but not such that I think it's likely anyone not living in my brain would hear flavor and know what I chose.
