Hmm… Did you miss my post or are you hinting that you would rather I not play? I’m not good at subtle, so I’d prefer just being told to sit this one out if that’s how you feel.

That was me. My death via Modkill made the unknown pool smaller than the confirmed pool, which is a guaranteed Town win assuming no tricks like extra NKs. Since it was a very basic game, it was over the moment I did it.

However, 1) I know nothing about _Lost_ (and yeah, I know, knowledge of a theme isn’t a requirement…still, I much prefer it if I have even a _little_ knowledge), and 2) I’ll be on vacation for two weeks in July (which pretty much kills the idea of any Mafia until I get back).

Well, I would definitely not allow the lack of knowledge to stop you from playing, but if you don’t think you’d be able to post while on vacation, than we understand.

Seriously though, folks, you do NOT need to know or like LOST to play this game.

Crap, I really shouldn’t get involved in a game right now but sitting out the last one was hard enough.

I’m in.

I will be out of contact next weekend but I don’t think that should hurt anything too badly.

Let’s see here Mahaloth, coming from someone who looks at me and says “FEED THIS” as it helped scum in the last game, I’m a bit leery of your idea of “Behaving”.

If you mean “Meeko, who promises to refine his gameplay, for the benefit of the game entire” then yes, I’m on board with you.

Seriously gang, we can all agree that I did the Crimson Glyph game wrong by jummping in early. I’m not saying I am going to lurk this game, BUT, before the game gets started, before we have any clue on who will be what, I just want to say one thing.

If I post **less** than I did in Crimson, (Which should be pretty easy to do), it is not because I am scum, but it is because, I am trying to step my game up.

I _Get_ that less is more now, and I have gone on record stating that I would have voted meeko as well. Ironically, I remind the Crimson players that I did pose such a question.

–

Two more questions for Mahaloth:

\*\*1. Can you vote for yourself?

1. Are roles to be distributed randomly? \*\*

1. No.

2. Yes. I have shuffled the roles into a random order, and numbered them. Then, I’ll will use [random.org](http://random.org) to randomly assign the roles.

If I can get the final 5 slots filled tonight, I should be able to PM all of you your roles tomorrow. I’ll then give you a schedule for when Night Zero begins.

Now, see, that just looks like a smart play, to me, not an abuse of the rules. And of course, Town had to play well to get into that situation in the first place.

The problem is that if there are more confirmed Town than scum, then a mass suicide by all unconfirmed Town is an autowin for the Town.
