I remember him bailing, and I haven't played in a long time.
Of course, if neither of them can bother to login long enough to actually sign up... *sigh*

Do we have a targeted start date for this one?

Not that I'm anxious or anything. Just, you know, wondering. Yeah, that's the ticket!

yeah, do we have a start date? I like we have massive participation, but interest starts to wane with delays. Btw, this will be a very long game and I would encourage instituting some form of time limit

I'm not opposed to a time limit, but way back when the games used to finish in about a month pretty much regardless of size. I miss the days of the 70 page game. So many things to sort and catalog. :wub:

Mentalist – His ability to speak to others minds unnerves some so he has kept it hidden. Facing this current evil he cannot afford to do this any longer. Each night he may contact a different player initiating PM contact with them for the duration of the night. All PMs MUST include the moderator so that I can archive them in the spoiler forum.

Does the Menatlist HAVE to contact someone, or is it really "may"?


Mayor – Use to the ebb and flow of politics he can sway the crowd without them even being aware of it. Each day he may cast an extra vote with the moderator through PM. Due to the fickle nature of the public he may not change this vote once it has been cast each day.

Which vote can the Mayor not change - public, private, or both?

Mentalist is a "may"
Mayor may not change the private vote. Public vote may change however he wants.

Reverse that. N-2 is possibly N-1 if the Mayor has his secret vote cast there.

BTW, if we go into a day phase with an even number of players then majority shall be half the players rather than true majority.

You are making a false assumption there in saying half think you should stay. Just because they do not vote to kill you is not the same as voting to keep you alive. We do not offer that voting option.

You are making a false assumption about the supposed false assumption. The assumption could be half think he should live. :P

It's also an assumption that the half voting against someone think he should go. For any given voter-against, the fact that he does not act to keep you alive does not mean that he really wants you dead.

Given that both are assumptions, the question of assumptions makes no difference.

Simple enough. Anyone placing a name under the accuse tags is voting to lynch them unless it is a withdrawl in the form of "Withdraw [player name]". No other withdrawls will be acknowledged save superceded votes. So, current voting stands:
Against:
Grundbegriff - Chaosraven
Chaosraven - stessier

Take that ya bastages.

You get to kill time by reading all the other games once you are in though! We're up to 5 I believe. And you only have to do it once!!

yeah i want to echo the registering that Stessier is suggesting. It serves as a great communication area for wovles to chat, and for those who are dead can hop in there and chit chat to their hearts delight.

serves as a great information hub also.
