Okokok, I’ll confirm I’ve had a role PM. By the by, I’ll remind people that there are no posting restrictions on the game thread (or, going on my experience with past Storyteller games, for Mafiates in the Mafia thread either). So people are perfectly free to post in modern English, what they think might be an approximation of olde-worlde English or anything else that doesn’t cross SDMB rules. Just make it funny if you do. ---

PM received. note in advance that I will absolutely not be in-game between 5p-7p on weeknights, that’s family time; 9a-5p I’ll be reading but likely only posting briefly or not at all as that’s work time. ---

I believe most players have confirmed participation. However, some players who must make choices among multiple powers have not yet done so. The first Scum won’t be selected until all Town have made their choices. Please pick a power! ---
