I probably won’t have much time to play today, but as an opening thought, I think whoever receives a sleeper message overnight (the “awake, chicken, awake” thing) should definitely indicate that they did in the thread; the Scum will already know who they targeted and more information is better for Town. ---

OK, I think this is where I have to overreact and post a long diatribe about you which upsets everyone. Am I getting the hang of things? Message confirmed, also. ---

\*\* Some clarification about the Jailer role: The person put in jail will not have any direct communication from the moderator that indicates they spent the night in jail. Players blocked by the roleblocker will similarly not have any communication that indicates they were blocked. In either case, if a player would have received a confirmation or results of action, they will simply receive a message which indicates their action was unsuccessful.\*\* ---

I don’t think this counts as strategy, so I’ll post it. I have made a blank spreadsheet over on Google Docs that contains the setup roles. I guess we can fill it in, add any claims that happen, and so forth. Feel free to check it and see if it is right. We can discuss it more when Day One actually starts. Uh, first Google doc I’ve ever made. Please let me know if you can see it.
