Yes, but that might not be a problem. For example, an outed scum might want to relay information to a third-party player. That’s why we need a ruling. ---

I’ll be away for a few days with questionable internet access. Shouldn’t be that big a deal, though. No problem. Let me know(via PM if you like) if you can when the birth looks like its coming and I can drop a note in game that you are out. > [@Pleonast](#): > > \*\*1.

\*\*Confirming my /in. \*\* **OOG:** The US Census called me back up, they apparently have some more work for me. Also, I have an Interview with Toys R US Thursday. I’ve already told Mahaloth about this. I don’t think that the jobs will interfere with my play here. And if it does, I don’t think it would reduce my participation to below average. Perhaps below my average, but not to a detrimental level to the game. [Both positions are part time.] ---

Peeks, you in on this one, or no? Also : \*\*Can Elrond transform into Agent Smith at will for this game? \*\* (Seriously, Weaving could retire on just those 6 movies alone.) ---

batman: quickly to the batcave robin. the dark emmisaries have stricken alfred. robin: that’s kind of a fucked up idea. there are all sorts of orcs and trolls down there. batman: oh you are probably right. let’s take the millenium falcon instead. han solo: that ain’t going to work for crud. the durn engine heats up everytime i start it up and i haven’t gottent the inspection sticker for this year. batman: ok, fuck it we will just walk. follow frodo you fool. ---

Four more to go folks, though I need to hear back from some of my pre-signed up folks before I send out PM’s. **I hope everyone here can be around at some point Wednesday-Thursday to confirm your role PM.** Assuming this game fills up tomorrow, the role PM’s will go out pretty quickly. We will have a Night Zero. No strategy and so forth. I’ll announce its schedule once we get to that point. ---

I would love to play this, but I start rehearsals for my next show soon, so if I survived a couple of Days, I’d probably just have to bow out. So… _sigh_ I’ll be following along as best I can, though. If you need help with vote counts or whatnot, **Maha** , let me know.
