neta: and if you are a **lorena** type that technically quallifies you as being in possession of a penis but really is not within the spirit of the game to claim penis possessor. ---

I am now assigning the roles randomly and I should be able to begin sending out PM’s fairly soon. Don’t panic if you don’t get yours right away. I am sending them out randomly(order wise too) and may take breaks between sending them. You’ll get it when you get it. ---

OK, so first game-related thought: Given the color, I think that it’s likely that we’re playing a power-role heavy game, here. With that in mind, I think it’s probably safe to say that we’re likely to have a full stable of the standard roles, like Detective, Doctor, Town Roleblocker, Vig, and probably a powered Scum team (probably a Godfather, Scum Investigator, and Scum Roleblocker, at least). I think I have a bad habit of leaving assumptions tacit, so let me just say up front that, pending evidence to the contrary, I will be assuming that we have many different powers.
