Ugh. See why I originally did not allow strategy on Night Zero? It made that Day go on forever.
Oh, and:

what in the world did i do now?

That’s just for being very silly.

[Oredigger77]

Yep, there are several players that I hate and dislike talking to and we (the scum team) are trying to figure out who we hate the most to recruit. Since we are having trouble pick between then i wanted the towns opinion how our selection could change game balance. I’m thinking town is going to own this one.

This looks like one of those posts that could use some editing!

Getting stuff together now. Is taking longer than expected. Big game! Will have role PMs out by sometime after lunch.

Really? You had trouble?

No one likes me and my overall Mafia record has just recently improved to 18-27.

You’re right I forgot an apostrophe in Town’s in the second sentence. What was I thinking.

You missed a question mark at the end there.

1. The Day/Night Cycle
   Each game Day will last for five real-life days, and each game Night will last for two real-life days. These numbers may be slightly adjusted for moderator convenience.

@storyteller0910

Once they have chosen, the actual roles will be randomized and distributed, and Day One will begin.

/snips
If Day 1 starts once the role PMs are distributed, will the Day/Night cycle start today with Days ending on Saturday afternoon/evening?

and i think then was actually supposed to be them.

I kind of look forward to seeing the scum discussion on this. “We can’t pick the best player, they’ll be investigated right off the bat on general principles. But we don’t want a born lurker either. And so and so stepped on my cat’s tail.”

Right, and they have to WIFOM a ton here. Kind of a cool way to start the game.

I may incorporate this in a future game of mine.

[storyteller0910]

PMs will go out beginning now. Please be patient, there are a lot.

Meanwhile, two things to chew over:
SPECIAL NOTE

In the common room of the cabin is a smallish, unremarkable writing desk. Resting unopened on the desk is a book. It is an interesting book, aesthetically speaking, bound in what everyone has convinced themselves is light-colored leather and emphatically not human flesh, and written in what folks are fairly certain is ink (they had red pens in the tenth century BC, right?).

All in attendance are well acquainted with this book, if only from the survivor’s reports of the last party to be held here. This is Necronomicon ex Mortis, the Book of the Dead, hardbound passageway to the dark and dreadful worlds beyond our own.

Anyone (well, nearly anyone) may take the Book at any time during the Day or by Night (beginning Day One). A player may take possession of the Book by sending the Moderator a PM any time during the Day/Night; if multiple PMs are sent to this effect, the Book will go to the first PM received (chronologically).

Once a player has the Book, (s)he will learn more about what it might do.

The catch? There are eyes everywhere. Anyone who takes the book by Day will be seen by all to have taken it. Anyone who takes the book by Night will sacrifice any other Night action they might have to do so, and will also be subject to observation by a variety of interested onlookers.

[storyteller0910]

And, a generic Town PM:

Welcome to the game; you are Iceman

ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Vanilla
WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished.

BACKGROUND:

You are a frozen person, and the moderator hates you very much. At this point, you’ve appeared as an example of a role that isn’t in the game in two separate games, so why not this one?

POWERS:

1. You have no special powers, abilities, or information. You’re annoying and the moderator hates you.

Flesh, Human or otherwise, is a terrible material for books. Skins and hides work far better.

[Suburban_Plankton]

Ben, what’s the difference between "skin"and “flesh”? Or “skin” and “hide” for that matter?

On a more game-related note, is there a separate Game Thread that I missed, or are we going to continue using this one? If the latter, can we get the title changed?

[Telcontar]

Any thoughts (from last game) about what the book does? I’m tempted to pick it up in much the same way that I’m tempted to push large red buttons.

Well, he did explicitly say it wasn’t made of human flesh. Draw your own conclusions.

Great job on the colour btw Story.

I’ll send a PM to the Mods asking for a title change… I can’t see an advantage to spinning off a new thread.

All role PMs have been sent. I will allow two hours or so for questions/clarifications, then start the Day around 3:00PM EST. We’ll then end the Day on Saturday afternoon around the same time.

… I reckon it’s printed on potato skins.
