I had prayed my mark would be Jill and the word would be orifice.

yeah, would be nice if we could randomise mark/word once a day or week or something. a scoreboard would be nice too

Another question: can you be marked more than once at the same time, as in there are 3 participants, A has B, B has A, and C joins..

Yeah, scoreboard is a good idea. I thought about changing people's user titles to "victim of incest" after they lost as well, but figured it might annoy some.

Yes, your mark is just a random member of the people currently playing, so you can be marked by several players. I thought about this a bit, not sure I like it. It puts people who start early at a disadvantage since the earlier you join the more chances you have to pick up a word. I considered the alternative of making the person with the fewest taboo words be the one marked by any new entrant but the issue there is people will tend to pair off, each pair that joins will have each other as marks while I like the asymmetry of "hunting" one person and being "hunted" by another. Maybe the answer is some geometric distribution over number of times a person is marked so people who are not heavily marked will get picked more but you still get more picks further down the list.

Can we get a "marks felled" stat on our user pages?

Say spoon and we can find out.

OK, so going forward violating a taboo will get recorded. Right now the only thing you'll see is a "Taboo Victories" stat on your profile go up but there's enough data to put together a history and leaderboard, I just need to do it.
Also user title changes are now in effect for both the mark and the marker.

Hey thanks Lanny.
Oh hey by the way do you happen to know the name of the 4th song on Weird Al's third released album, Dare to Be Stupid?
