I was going to put in a caveat about availability around the holidays, but really, that’s going to be the case for pretty much everyone, isn’t it? No matter what, that’s going to be a wonky week, so, hell with it. /in ---

Screw this. **Vote Pleonast** OMGYS. Vig a pro town role just 'cause you don’t like their accent. It will take the voice of reason to come in and tell me how this is so wrong fundamentally. Individuals with their pre-conceived notions are so much more anti-town than their so called anti-town targets that you should be playing roulette. Ain’t fuggin’ bitter. No, not the least. ---

You know. One of these days I may want to Mod a game. 'Course the way I am received it will probably just be solitaire. But I have this idea about having a game that revolves around Fellini films knocking around in my head. Either that or the Three Tenors. Could really be boring as shit. ---

> [@JSexton](#): > > Can I presume that dead players cannot take day/night actions, even if they submitted them well in advance? I’m not going to directly answer this question, but I’ll say that the purpose of the rule is not to allow dead power roles to act in defiance of death. The rule exists both to confound tedious attempts at certain types of meta-gaming, and also to allow for players who are leaving twelve hours before Dusk and know they won’t be back to the computer until after the subsequent Dawn. I had that come up two or three times in Skrull Planet and I really felt it was unfair. ---

Aw, c’mon, **peek** , you know I’m in your fan club. I would totally play in any game you modded, and I’m pretty sure **Rugger** would too. Can you imagine the filthy fluff that would come out of _that_ game?! ---

> [@peekercpa](#): > > Either that or the Three Tenors. Could really be boring as shit. I would love to see the Three Tenors each as their own Unique Role (Perhaps a variations of SKs) that each gain a little bonus power while the other 2 live, and then the rest of the people could be normal Opera goers. Or have the Three Tenors vs. the Irish Tenors vs. The Three Canadian Tenors vs. The Ten Tenors (the Town) in an epic musical showdown. I call dibs on Placido Domingo. ---

So sorry. You are way too much Pavarotti. Lot’s of long winded arias in a language I don’t comprehend. I mean it has to be you or **story**. However, if we could somehow make the opera calculus related then you guys would have to go heads up with **Blam** And too fucking funny. I’ve got this visual of the three of you guys doing some type of Hawking related opera/balet prancing around in your tights. Jesus weeps. L O friggin’ L. ---
