I am getting to everyones roles, as fast as I can, but it will still be 2-3 hours. If you all want to I can open up a new thread and link to it in here for the actual game. We can call this a sign up thread. ---

I agree that you should start a new thread for the actual game. I think you should wait until the game begins to create it. –FCOD ---

Point of protocol… given that this is a mafia variant, what are the appropriate terms for the regular good’uns without other special roles? I saw both ‘citizen’ and ‘townie’ mentioned in the roles spiel, are both of these valid? Myself, I feel like I’d rather avoid ‘townie’ because it reminds me too much of that werewolf medieval feel, but I’m a newbie so I’m not sure what the conventions are. ---

I got over-enthusiastic and posted in the forbidden thread. I don’t know what I was thinking. ☹ FWIW, I was the first respondent, so there wasn’t any actual discussion of this game, and at the time I made the post, our game hadn’t actually started yet (and still hasn’t). Anyways, consider this my disclosure. Oops. ---

as I understand it we are starting in night, so even when we kick off we can’t talk till all night action decisions are received. For up to 3 of us, our first post in the game actual will be of the Bah go town variety!
