Said

This is a super fun game. Remember when you were, like, 8 and your teacher taught you the importance of using words other than "said"? Well, your teacher was a fucking liar. Sure, once in a while you can throw in a "replied" or "yelled" for flavor, but really, if your readers are paying more attention to your word choice than what's actually happening in your story, you're doing it wrong. When in doubt, just use "said." I'm so serious here.
