It’ll all come out clear in the analysis. ---

The only truly “convinced” are the guilty. ---

Okay! Signups are **closed.** The official player list is as follows: 1. Dante G 2. WF Tomba 3. Prof. Pepperwinkle 4. HookerChemical 5. Mahaloth 6. Astral Rejection 7. Sario 8. DeadCat (probably) 9. Texcat 10. Sub. Plankton 11. Biotop 12. IRConfused 13. Precambrianollusc 14. Octarine 15. Snfaulkner I am in the process of creating and balancing my game. It turns out that I lied about the game being 100% “normal,” per the aforementioned link but I promise it will not be complicated or go anywhere approaching a “role madness” game. It should play out very similarly if not identically to a baseline Mafia game. Role PMs will go out hopefully before Friday evening, Night 0 will take place over the weekend, and Day 1 will begin Monday morning. ---

Maybe there will be a new tie breaker rule…? ---

I will likely use the following tie-breaker rule: On Day 1, a tie will result in no-lynch. On all following days, a tie will result in a random lynch from among those who are tied. ---

Maybe there will be a Judge that can take care of those no-lynch issues. ---

It’s no problem. I’m sure Astral will be happy to sacrifice himself for the town. ---

I’ll be going with the standard SDMB conventions. **VOTE SARIO** **UNVOTE SARIO** At the moment I’m considering day length. The 5/2 format seemed a bit long, but it was also nice and stable. ---
