Woohoo! The M3 and _Hispaniola_ sheets are now officially off the bulletin board, and _Cult of Sekham_ sheets are up! Now if we can just stop refining the “win condition” posts, so I don’t have to reprint them, everything will be good… 🙂 ---

Real life is calling for the next couple of hours, so I will catch up when I get home about 3 or so. Advance notice - I will not be available to post on the 4th of July; I am participating in my very first craft show selling my jewelry. Setup starts at 8am and it runs until 9pm so I won’t be home until late that night. ---

[QUOTE=SnakesCatLady] I will not be available to post on the 4th of July [/QUOTE] That will probably be true for most Americans. Perhaps we can get Blaster Master to declare the 4th a non-day. ---

[QUOTE=sachertorte] That will probably be true for most Americans. Perhaps we can get Blaster Master to declare the 4th a non-day. [/QUOTE] I don’t think that’ll be necessary, as long as the 4th is in the early part of a Day. Of course, we certainly should have a Day _end_ on 7/4. ---

[QUOTE=sachertorte] That will probably be true for most Americans. Perhaps we can get Blaster Master to declare the 4th a non-day. [/QUOTE] Well July 1st is Canada day, so what do we do about that? How about European/Australians? They have the whole hour difference thing. IMO, there is no need to declare a single day void. Its not like the day/night cycle only lasts a single real day. Plus it could be considered a strategy of sorts to force one of the cycles to fall on that day. ---

I just mean extend the gameday to not count the 4th as part of the 5day gameday. In other words make the gameday that contains the 4th a 6day gameday. ---

[QUOTE=sachertorte] That will probably be true for most Americans. Perhaps we can get Blaster Master to declare the 4th a non-day. [/QUOTE] I was actually thinking about that over lunch and planning on it. If activity is dwindling, which it likely will, I’ll extend the Day. ---

I was asked if the Cult is allowed to perform no action at night. The Cult MAY choose not to kill at night. And just in case, the Psychopath MUST attempt a kill every night once activated. All other Night roles may choose whether or not to use their powers, with the small exception of the Crusader (which I hope is still pretty clear from the rules).
