Come on **Dopers**.

Only one more volunteer required to get the fun and games started. It is good fun.

Honest 😃

Oh, sure, you can say that because you didn’t get lynched on Day 1. 😛

If I’m counting correctly now (no ShadowFactsKat 😛 ), we still need one more person. Maybe one of the soon to be dead in the Firefly game. 😃

I would like to play. I think I’m rested enough now after the Psychopath game to give it a good effort.

Vote **dotchan**. Not wanting to jump right in is an obvious scum slip, and her death will give us a lot of good information. That and she’s too shiny.

Oh my God, you suck!

**vote nesta**

(Thanks for the laugh, nesta! For the rest of you scratching your heads, consult the Psycopaths game modded by Idle Thoughts and the Firefly game modded by Naf/Kat [here](http://psychopathgame.proboards106.com/index.cgi).)

\*ETA: Ooh, let’s see if I can get lynched before the game can even start! I’ll go as far as hammering myself, too. 😃

Well, based on her previous games, if **dotchan** appears scummy, she’s probably Town. Which means, since she doesn’t appear scummy right now, she must be Mafia!

Lynch dotchan!

Well, I’m pretty sure she’s town, but the slight possibility of info is better than a no-lynch.

You can sign up for the sub list.

Although, since I’m ahead of you, I think the players might not want to sub out at all, because then I’d take their place first. 😃

Oh, and to help all those bandwagoners along:

THIS POST IS A SCUM TELL!

**Pleonast** is managing signups not on a first-come first-served basis but on a random selection basis. See post 2 for details.

No, you’re not. Here, I’ll show you:

vote dotchan

Like others have said before, she not only is probably scum (and will mysteriously revert to town on her death), but also won’t have an important role, so we don’t actually lose anything by lynching her.

d&r 😃

(btw, the smiley was included just in case **roosh** happens to read this and miss the joking nature of my post… 😃 )

Hopefully, he’s picking the subs on a random selection basis, too… just imagine, if we had someone drop out every Day, we could lynch dotchan every night!

We have enough. Roles will be sent out on Wednesday. As others have reiterated, it’s not too late to join in–I’ll pick people (and line up roles) via [random.org](http://random.org). I want to give everyone a shot at joining the game. I’ll probably pick subs randomly as well, although I’m more inclined to mod-kill.

I feel guilty now

Launch “Protect \*\*dotchan \*\* from lynch” plan #4 and bandwagon someone else.

Better vote diomedes instead. He has placed far too many votes and is trying to swing it.

Who is with me!
