Re: Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia [DAY 1]
is it possible to see the poll results before having submitted a vote? i see the "view results" button, but i don't wanna click it if it cancels my ability to vote -- it would on an RYM poll.

Anyone in the know:
Is it typical for Epignosis to be aware of and introduced to a game (as seen in his initial new-role post) but distinctly quiet while others carry on discussion?

Re: Death and Taxes: An Economics Mafia [DAY 1]
c'mon all y'all. make some posts, and feed this Day 1 with delicious new content. every new player making an appearance allows responses from the rest, and it's exponential growth of content. that's like an economics thing or something right?

i'm used to accusing people for frivolous reasons when games begin. i get the feeling that's not the intent for Day 0, but rather for Day 1? i.e. it'd be in poor taste for me to just start trying to work out the game now?
