I’d just like to point out that surviving day 1 is a personal record for me.

Not only that, you’ve doubled your old PB: the first night AND the first day. Grats! A round of shots for **Menocchio**!

And the day ends before I can even finish reading what accumulated in my sleep! I missed my first vote too…  
But I guess it was a good thing; **Enfant Terrible** was the only person I had active enough reason to distrust and look at what I would have helped with o.o  
So I’ll raise one up to you tonight as we wait for the safety of dawn. (What a terrible night to have a curse…)

Finally, I finished reading.

And there is not much to do but drink. Oh well.

Johnnie Walker Black please.

What hell, make it a Johnnie Blue. This might be my last night alive.

Hmmmmmmmmm…awfully quiet in here.

Can I have another Amaretto and Pepsi please?

I’d like some milk and sarsaparilla. Got to keep on my toes, y’know.

[out of character] I _don’t_ have internet access at work. ☹ Figure in commuting time, and cooking/eating dinner, and pretty much I’ll be away from the game for 10 hours at a stretch each week day. So if I seem to go quiet for stretches – even during ramp ups to lynchings – it’s not a deliberate lurking startegy, okay?

[/ooc]

Hmmm. Kind of quiet in the bar tonight. Anybody got a deck of cards?

I always have a deck of cards. (Really.)

Hearts, spades, poker, palace? Something else? Pick your poison.

Are you sure this bar is safe? There’s some blotchy marks on the floor, and a couple of guys in the back are eyeing me weird.

…

I finally have notes for a coherent post and by the time I am through reading everything, it’s night.

Dammit.

I’m easy.

But I suggest a house rule: All markers must be settled by dawn. 🆒

[QUOTE=NAF1138]  
There is good and bad to both ways of playing. If I run one of these again I will probably keep it to 15-20 players and have a day start, but I think the night start was the way to go on a game with this many players.  
[/QUOTE]

Spectator chiming in: One popular compromise is to have a cop headstart. That is, start in night, but only allow non-lethal actions to be submitted. You get the best of both worlds: information is gathered, but everyone gets to play for at least one game day. You can have a couple dead bodies of NPCs in the morning scene for flavor, if you want.

I want to chime in for the 12 hour countdown, too. I also dono’t have Internet access at work\* so missed my vote, since I wasn’t ready to vote last night, and didn’t have time to read all the posts this morning before I left.

\*Technically, I do have Internet access, but I’m not supposed to use it for “excessive non-business-related use” plus I’m in training for my new position right now, and thus don’t have time for getting online.

I didn’t want to start a new Sequential Threads thread for this, but this amused me:
