So, looking at my teammates, I see Plankton, Precambrian, Plumpudding and me, Prof. Pepperwinkle. No possible permutation of confusion there. ---

With Professor on board, we are now at 9 players. 1. Suburban Plankton 2. Astral Rejection 3. Precam(maybe?) 4. HookerChemical 5. WFTomba 6. Mahaloth 7. Plumpudding 8. Mosier 9. Prof. Pepperwinkle I may send out private messages to some of the other no-shows to see whats up with them. If no more players sign up, then I’ll make do with 9, although I really was hoping to get 12 at the very least. ---

If no more players sign up, then I’ll make do with 9, although I really was hoping to get 12 at the very least. Sorry, but the shorter Day/Night cycles you’re proposing would be too short for me. As it was, I felt my participation during storyteller’s game was underwhelming, particularly concerning my participation. I can’t imagine how it would look under these circumstances. Thanks for the invitation, anyway. ---

Well, with the game set to start on Monday afternoon, I have officially 8 players, possibly 9. Not a big turnout, but I can make it work. Stay tuned for updates. ---

Been AWOL for a couple days - only got online once or twice. I’m game, but I want to double check the parameters first just to be sure I can be available and post enough. I’ll confirm later tonight or tomorrow. ---

The game is starting at a bust time for me…Monday we’re driving my son to San Francisco where he’s leaving for a school trip to Europe, then Tuesday my wife and I are heading down the coast for a few days of vacation. I’ll be around Monday evening for sure, and I’ll be able to check in on my phone while we’re on our mini-vacation, but my participation for the first Day/Night might be a bit spotty. ---

Let me get this out there now, before roles are assigned. I’ll be on vacation Friday-Tuesday. I’ll post from my phone and tablet when I have something to add (and I’ll do my best to vote - expect a test color post at some point), but don’t expect much analysis. After that, I’ll be able to go full bore. ---

No worries HC, I’m going to be assigning roles on Tuesday evening and posting the opening narrative that evening as well, so the first real full day of game play will start Wednesday. Enjoy, all! ---

Will be sending out roles later this evening as well as posting the opening narrative. As far as particular rules are concerned, here they are : \*\* 1. Day phases will last approx. 2 real time days. Nigh time phase will last no more than 2 real time days, or whenever all abilities are sent in. Which ever comes first. 2. Voting will go under majority rules. A majority number must be reached in order for a lynch to occur. Most votes gets a lynch is NOT in this game. I will inform players each start of Day Phase what the number of votes needed will be. 3. No hammer rule in effect. A lynch is secured only when a majority of votes are reached AND the end of Day has came. 4. While I don’t like the concept of claiming, I know sometimes it is a last ditch effort to save yourself. However, there will be no role claiming that involves posting your role assignment private message. 5. The game will be a closed setup. No roles or abilities will be revealed at start of the game.\*\* Here is the list of players : 6. Suburban Plankton 7. Astral Rejection 8. Sario 9. HookerChemical 10. WFTomba 11. Mahaloth 12. Plumpudding 13. Mosier 14. Prof. Pepperwinkle 15. Sangfroid ---

Assigning roles now. Once you have received your role and the opening narrative is posted, ( that’s coming after I assign roles) please post in the narrative game thread that you have received your role. Thanks! ---
