Excellent! We now have the minimum 15 players.

But it’s not too late to join the fun. I can handle up to 30 players, in increments of 5. Sign up before Thursday. You know you want to! Everyone gets a power role.

Use me if you need an extra player to get up to a multiple of 5, instead of having to drop 4.

My only gripe is this: I will be out of town for the next Week… So if at ALL possible could we delay the game a week?

Sigh. I tried to stay away, I really did.

But the fact that I was out Day 2 of the crazy Batman game just makes me want to try and see how well I can do in another crazy game.

/in

So who’s going to start the Mafia Players Anonymous help group?

Same sentiment. But if I am number 1 or 2 just flush me.

YEE-HAAH!!!

Been looking forward to this for a while…had to read the thread so my hopes wouldn’t be dashed cruelly. **Loved** the original.

_blesses self_😛

May I politely direct your anger towards **sachertorte** the former Coroner, who told the Town of Idle’s cursed status?

You were doing just fine raising zombies. _shakes fist at_

And technically I was just replacing MadtheSwine anyway.

Hmm, let me rethink the schedule. Independence Day is coming up, too. I’m thinking to draw out the first Days and Nights instead of delaying.

Everyone, how’s this for a schedule? Remember, strategizing in the game thread is allowed both Day and Night. Wolves and Witches can converse secretly at Night, and Cabal secretly both Day and Night.  
Night Zero (no powers, but secret discussions allowed): Thu 12 - Tue 17  
Day One: Tue 17 - Wed 25  
Night One: Wed 25 - Mon 30  
Day Two: Mon 30 - Wed 9  
Night Two: Wed 9 - Fri 11  
Day Three: Fri 11 - Wed 16  
etc, normal schedule…  
(All Dawns/Dusk at noon Pacific Time.)

Or, is this too drawn out? Opinions?

Gah! This was made more difficult because my Monty Python desk calendar just happened today to show 31 days in June. Tricksters!

I am ok with that. FYI I am getting married on August 16th, so it looks like this game will run into my wedding…but I doubt that I will still be alive by then. And even so I am only going to be gone for 4 days if I am alive.
