Is there going to be a lot of death or is this going to be a long game?

Can’t comment on that, really.

I could do with playing in a non-gastard setup. The irregular day ends could muck me up somewhat, being on a UK timezone, but what is the worst that could happen…

Well, I was supposed to be first off the bench for Inblorious Gasterds, but it looks as though they won’t be requiring my services, which is good because I haven’t had the time to keep up with that game at all, which means it must be a \*really good idea \*for me to put myself

/in!

The only reason I haven’t signed up is that I’m in two, plus a mini. Overextension isn’t a good idea at this point. I will, however, take a seat on the subs bench and cheer on the Brits in the game.

Three more!

Again, it is a larger game, so we appreciate everyone’s patience while we get the sign ups done. It will be a great game when it is done.

I want one of the evil(ish) roles, though I’d probably make a hash of it. But it sounds like fun!

Unless they’re evil(ish) with regards to the person who draws that role. In that case, never mind. 🙂

I was trying to avoid this game but I keep checking the thread every time I see it has a new post. If I’m going to be reading along I might as well play.

**Question–is there a different leader every day, or does the same person stay leader until they get killed off?**

I was going to ask that myself, but then did a reread and picked up on the sentence:

> [@pedescribe](#):
>
> Rules:  
> **Day Length**  
> For the first 24 hours, voting will be used to elect a leader…

which I read as “For the first 24 hours of each Day…”
