I’m sorry for being a bit late to second-sign up. Didn’t see the list-link until now.  
Hope it okay :o

It’s been a while since I’ve played so I don’t follow the thread games forum much, so until today I missed that this game was happening. I jumped to the last page and saw the 12/30 deadline so I submitted my name before getting a chance to read the thread. It seems signups ended long ago. Apologies for cluttering up the list. Please remove me if alternates aren’t supposed to be on there.

I would still like to play if you need another alternate.

So, besides the whole “starting after the new year” thing, is there an actual time/date in mind? Like 12:00 am Jan 1st? Or do we get time to sleep off the boozeover?

We are expecting Tuesday the 3rd. But it sort of depends on if we hit our deadlines. Right now I am behind on my writing assignments so feel free to blame me. (though there is one game mechanic that still needs ironing too that I’m not holding up.)

You can blame whoever you want. This is mafia.

Yes, but think of the anticipatory excitement, Biotop! You know you’re likely to be Scum, but will you be Mafia Scum, Wolf Scum or 3rd Party Scum? There are possibilities!

Sounds like someone has too much information.

Unvote Pence

He can never be accused of having perfect information.

There are a few folks who still have not confirmed. Not too many. I’m PMing them all now. They are almost exclusively people who don’t check this board often if at all when not playing mafia. There are also a couple of names I don’t know. So, bump.

Anyone who has requested to be an alternate, stand by. There is a chance we are going to need you all before the game even starts.
