I’m in!
Pretty much, yeah.
One. The one at the start of the game is the one that appears at the beginning of Summer 1.
Oh, and I forgot to ask before, but it’d make things easier for me if you put mod questions in green so I’ll notice them.

I’m sure I amassed a complete set in my past, If you want, I can let you have some of mine.
I’ve actually been reviewing my old games. In crimson, seems like have the forbidden thread posters had me as “psycho” or similar.
I commented to that with “I know I have the madness. D–n, if only I had the method.”
NETA: that’s Half, not have.
I’m also going to try and be more active than last game. Doing my best, anyway.
OK, so I’m trying to understand the setup. Forgive me if questions were clearly explained. I’ve read and re-read and I’m trying to process this.
-
How many Spawn are alive on Summer One?
-
Does the game begin with Summer One?
-
Are we allowed to know how the Spawns “decisions” are made? You said randomly, I believe, but how? I assume “randomly” includes not lysing anyone during Winter as a choice?
Okay, hmm…so it’ll be a choice between choosing between one of the two? Because we know that spawn are bad, I’m just wondering why wouldn’t we automatically always vote for them?
Can we choose to place two votes on suspected scum instead of one “spawn vote” and one “scum vote”?
-
During Summer 1, there will be one Spawn alive.
-
Last sentence of the OP:
- At the end of the Summer, each Spawn will randomly select two players (including possibly Scum, but not Spawn). At the end of the Winter, each Spawn will place a vote on the Scum board for one randomly-selected non-Scum player. This does mean that, if there are more Spawn than Scum, the Scum might find themselves killing someone other than who they’d like, but the Scum will never accidentally kill a Scum during the Winter.
You can choose to Lyse two human players, a human player and a spawn, or two spawn. Which you choose is a matter of strategy, which I would recommend you hold off on until you have your roles.
Yes, on two different suspected scum. You can’t put both of your votes on the same person, though.
OK.
Does lyse=lynch?
Yes, it’s just a change in terminology to match the color.
Actually what I meant to say before I brain shorted, was is the reason we’re saying lyse because of Lysol? If so very cute.
The biological process known as lysis predates Lysol and was the inspiration for the product name.
**Given that it is random, is it possible for Spawn to take out Scum?
How exactly do spawn form? Is it n+1 for each summer or is it n*2 for each summer?**
Where n = the number of spawn just before the next generation of spawn are created.
Should we try not to get spawn wet, or to feed them after midnight?
I am not real clear on how the above differs from “strategy discussion is permitted during Winter.”
A Spawn might cast the deciding vote that leads to a Scum getting lysed in the Summer, but a Spawn will not outcompete a Scum in the winter.
One is produced every Summer, no matter how many existed before.
Not getting them wet will be difficult, since we are after all living in a pond.
I’ve heard folks say that they appreciate having a break from the game, but on the other hand I don’t want to arbitrate exactly what constitutes strategy discussion. I’ve seen other games where the moderator said they wouldn’t be enforcing that rule, and the players seemed to do a pretty good job of sticking to it anyway.

-
To be perfectly clear: Pond has to place a vote on Spawn in their final summer to win. Correct? **

Please tell me I didn’t woosh you here.
Far as I can tell.
I will be watching this game with great interest, but am spoiled and cannot play.
Are you co-modding, ped?
