Would I Lie To You? Game 1 SUDDEN DEATH!

[Citizen Bleys]

Hello, and welcome to Would I Lie To You?, the game where BS is SOP.

On Rantz's team today, we have the source of a FF character's crippling back problems, not to mention thousands of unrealistic teenage fantasies, it's Tifa's Boobs!
We also have a man for whom bulltroutting is not only a hobby, it's his entire career, please welcome Raistlin!

Joining Jiro today, we have a man so adept at the art of lying, he once convinced the police he wasn't a psychopath, it's Mercen-X!
We also have a blast from the past so adept at artifice that in the Anniversary Mafia game, he convinced me for a full week that he was a woman, it's Formalhaut!

For Round One and Two, we'll be playing Quick-Fire Lies. One of our panelists will be reading a statement that I PM to them. Either it will be a true statement they've PM'd to me before the game or a lie they've never seen before. It'll be up to the opposing team to set the record straight. Play begins when he (Yeah, I'll use the right pronoun, since I rolled the numbers before making this thread) posts the statement I'm about to PM to him. The opposing team then has 24 hours to ask questions to try to determine if what he said is bona fide or bollocks. After 24 hours, he is no longer required to answer any questions.

All 6 players can comment during the question period, and the player in the hotseat can communicate with their teammates via PM if so desired--if you want your team to know if you're lying or not so they can comment accordingly, that's up to you.

Phase ends when the captain on the team opposing the hotseat player submits a vote in bold, colour-coded format (to distinguish an actual answer from a general statement of belief/disbelief). This vote can be entered during the question period or after. The captain makes the final decision, even if both teammates disagree. Vote format is ##Vote: Lie or ##Vote: Truth. After the vote, I'll reveal if the statement is true or not and begin the next phase.

The hotseat player for Phase 1 was selected randomly; In the next 2 Phases, his teammates get the hotseat, and Round 2 will be more of the same, but with the opposing team taking the hotseat.

Non-players please restrict your commentary to the WILTY? Game 1 Audience Thread.
Players are not permitted to view the Audience Thread until the game ends; this will work on the honour system as that was effective in Mafia. There will be a separate contest available for audience members.

After the game, in addition to the game winners, I'll select a Liar of the Day (either the best at lying or just the funniest) who wins...sod all.

Players: As play has now officially started, your true statements or lack thereof are now locked in and cannot be changed.

First up is Raistlin PM inbound as soon as I generate the numbers to pick your statement from the truth/lie matrix.

SCOREBOARD
Team Formalhaut: 4
Team Rantz: 5

GAME OVER! Team Rantz wins!
