gollark: Honestly, the negative point for wrong guesses rule sort of ruins the strategy of actually guessing ever?
gollark: The trouble is that while I can approximately guess who they *appear to be from*, people are obviously trying to fake that and I can't really process the weird social stuff well enough to get any accurate answers out.
gollark: Or a quintuple bluff.
gollark: A worrying possibility.
gollark: Initiating orbital mind control lasers.
