We hear the high pitched WHISTLE of the wind through the trees. From somewhere deep within those trees, there is LAUGHTER. EVIL LAUGHTER._ UNNECESSARY VOICE-OVER The roster is complete. Randomization of roles will take place presently; role PMs will be sent this evening, and Day One will start at some time subsequent to that. _MUSIC, the unholy love child of Bernard Herrman and Danny Elfman, takes us into the opening titles._ ---

You may think being stuck in a some small cabin in a demon-haunted wood with 26 other people is a bad thing. But soon it will be worse: only 25 other people. :eek: ---

So, is it too soon to discuss strategy? Since no one has an alignment yet, we can agree on an unbiased order to do things, if the need ever arises. For anything that requires a “random” order. I suggest the order posted by **story** #104 above. Any disagreement or other comment? ---

I was told this was going to be a nice romantic getaway, just the 27 of us, to a little cabin in the woods. Pleo, let’s go reverse order from the list Story posted, just in case he uses that list as is for randomization purposes. ---

That is a good idea to do right off the bat - assuming I wil have nothing to hide when the time arrives for a reveal. How about a slight adjustment, though. We’ll use the order of posters in post 104, but use a random starting point as to not give someone an unfair advantage. Method of randomness TBD at the neccesary time.
