However, whenever one of them calls out for one point of intel, they must expose themselves as one of the two roles. Once exposed, however, they can no longer gain any intel.
wait so do the King/Queen have to expose themselves every time they try to get intel? How do they get 11 points?

EDIT: never mind I'm blind apparently I get it now

EDIT EDIT: nope I don't is there another posting games account made for this? or is it just guessing who's who on their own accounts
You already know who the five Royals are, but you have to accuse the Ace correctly at the time of accusation. So it's just a choice between the 5 people, one of whom can kill you if you accuse them, but you don't know who is who, since their roles are constantly swapping. Only Ace and Joker can switch and Ace can only be switched twice a day. So say A and B are King and Queen respectively and C and D are Ace and Joker respectively. E is Jack. A exposes themself for intel, posting something like "I am King." Sometime between today and tomorrow, say C swaps with A and then A swaps with E, leaving C as King, A as Jack, and E as Ace. If the Detectives bust C tomorrow, they would not win because E will be Ace, though C was Ace today. So even though you know everyone's usernames you don't know their roles.

Also, say while B was Queen someone posted something like "I accuse B of being Queen," the Queen role cannot gain any intel that day, even if B and D swap roles.

Did I understand that correctly?

(forgot to count how many posts but if this is one of first five I don't want to be Royal)
I should probably clear up the accusation a little more.
Regardless of who you pick, it is just called an accusation that the person is The Ace. If they are The Ace, the game finishes. If not, they will say that they are not The Ace, but they will be forced to still identify themselves as who they are. If you accuse The Queen, they say they are not The Ace, but you at least slowed down their intel collection process because The Queen has to expose herself as The Queen.

As for posting account roles, I'm willing to create those if you are down!

It looks like we have uncovered who our five Royals will be. Everyone, remember, 9 AM EST will be the start of the game.

Here is the list of people:
LittleMissNyan
imaditi
HugoTroop
sneepity
jaggie34


Good luck. Royals, I hope you don't lose in the first couple of rounds. If this does happen, so long as everyone is on board with the decision, I will modify with grace periods and let the game continue (this will likely be determined in the next game) Detectives, don't mess up.

If you are one of the five chosen to be a Royal and have received your role, reply back to me and I will give you credentials for your Posting Game role ;)

His original message was "I would like to play." which he's now retroactively edited.
