The big difference between this and Animal Farm is that we'll, at least, have a much better idea of roles when someone dies.

Just to let you peops know up front, here is what my anticipated schedule is for this game, so you won't later go, where's? Abe and how come he's not around so much?


Today, Thurs, Fri - Lots of writing during work hours, I have to hack out some articles for online and I'm busy with work - very little stuff during the day

Wed - On vacation! Will be in later (after I wake up) and I job interview on the phone at 1, so I i'll be around later, but solidly.

Next week - on vacation! If still alive, except me to pop it later (post noon for sure) but be around a lot.

I think it was something like Packer takes the first four days and then Schmidty takes over if Packer is still alive - it would be like a replacement having to be found when a player disappears, except we all know it's going to happen.

Or the Batman/Bruce Wayne thing. Although I'm not sure which is which.

Ok, I get that line of thinking. I would agree it would be kind of random in a silly way if the wolves were unable to find out this info, and possibly a villager role for it, or maybe removing corruption effects somehow (perhaps wolves have a role for corrupting individuals and another to find out citizen roles, that would make some sense).

Basically, yes - except it will only be 2 days. I will be here until early Friday and then I will be out. IIRC, Schmidty will also be out Friday, so unless I cast an early vote late Thursday or early Friday, there will likely be no vote from us that day (I will determine that when we get there).

Granted I could get offed before that and then it wouldn't matter - but don't do that to Schmidty

Yes, I decided to start early today so we wouldn't have any of that Day One "Oh, I didn't know the game started" jazz, especially coming right after a holiday.

Yes, as PF said, it will just transition from one to the other once PF is no longer available. I will let them PM as necessary to facilitate the transition, but otherwise will be like having a replacement player.

Blah blah villager blah blah blah.

I'm going to vote for an UTR, because that's what I do on day 1. Would rather vote for someone who lasted longer in the last game, out of a sense of fairness. This makes ntn pop out at me, but I did vote for him about seven consecutive day 1s back in the day. MrBug or mauboy would both be okay with me as well. Or any of a few other players, but since they got lynched earlier last game I'd be pretty okay letting them live through day 1.

I totally didn; notice that I said "spitting" instead of "spLitting" until just now, reading Autumn's quote.

Sometimes I just post my thoughts quickly, because what's going on is so quick, and I forget to edit them prior. I've got to get my grammar tighter, sorry dudes.

I didn't think anyone was assuming that - although I guess it's a possibility. I was kind of assuming that they wouldn't be known by the mob. Initially at least. But maybe that's a big assumption as well.

Ah yes I remember the vendetta you had on me. Don't worry, I assume in most games I play that I will be an easy early scapegoat for someone... It has already happened in this game.

I am assuming that the mob knows who they corrupt in game. And the only time it is really confirmed to all is death or incarceration.

Probably/hopefully not.

That's my interpretation of the way the rules are worded anyway.

"scapegoat"? Really? So you believe JAG is a wolf exploiting your quietness for his own gains?

It comes down to playing styles. I realise some people think that posting lots causes unnecessary distraction but in the end I think a lot of people are going to vote early on to try to avoid a game where by day four everyone turns up, posts "bit quiet around here " and then buggers off again. To my mind, avoiding that means voting for the people who have a track record of being quiet, particularly after the first couple of days.

We all know Packer is a playboy, so he would have to be Bruce Wayne.
