OK, for now, that makes you an alternate, unless we get two more people sign up this morning, in which case I use the larger version of the game. ---

**Hail, O honorable mentor of the Game! Are there going to be individual threads for each day or night, or one capacious omnibus?** ---

There will be a thread for each Act, of two Scenes. We’ll start with a new thread for Act I soon. ---

All right, I highly doubt we’ll get two more signups before the scheduled start, so I’m going to start sending out roles now. The Act I thread will start soon after that. ---

OK, I think that’s all of the PMs sent out (in order of signup). We’re a little early to start Act I, but I see no reason to wait, so here’s the thread: > [@Shakespeare Mafia-- Act I](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shakespeare-mafia-act-i/1020789): > > Act 1, scene 1: Early morning, in the streets of Verona. Two households, both alike in dignity (In fair Verona, where we lay our scene), From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. Day 1 has begun, and will end on Thursday at 11:30 AM. ---

I just saw this mention. While I will probably come out of mafia retirement one of these days, regretfully, today is not that day. But thanks for keeping in the loop! ---

I’ve been seeing “Shakespeare Mafia” but it just clicked in my head that it was a game. So I’m checking it out. Too late to get in even as a minor character? I promise to read all preceding posts (not right now, as I have to leave for work), but at lunch, or afterwork (~4-5pm) today. ---

It’s not possible to add someone in after the game has started, but I can call you an alternate, if it becomes necessary to replace someone for nonparticipation. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shakespeare-mafia-signup/1020456.md?page=2)
