Woohoo, first pick-up game ever!

I'll be spending Election Day with birdwithteeth11 since he will be visiting from Nov. 4-9, but I'm sure he'll be playing this as well as we watch the results pour in. I'm in.

How many hours do you think this will last?

I want to play.

Shouldn't we have a...................


POLL?

POLL?

Who are you voting for: The Sock, The Triple J, The Tilde Queen, or The Vegetable Root?

Added party affiliations because why not.

The marketing campaigns could be something like:
L - The self-depreciating marketing campaign of something like Earthbound for The Sock. ("This president will really stink, but at least he'll eliminate government completely!")
R - With a name like The Triple J I picture like a wrestler, so some WWE-esque marketing could work here. ("He'll smash the economy into submission and create thousands of jobs!")
etc.

I'm having too much fun with this.

This would be crazy fun, but I will probably be on call for work that night, which is extremely depressing to contemplate.

Play anyway.

Okay.

Got the poll up! Throw your votes on that too if you already expressed interest in-thread.

I'm hoping no more than five hours but it will depend on how many people sign up.

hmm on one hand I won't be doing anything on another I might be preparing to flee to Mexico or like Poland. :P

So I guess I'm in

You could simply divide the 5-hour interval according to how many people are participating.

2m/1m cycles ftw.

Would love it, but if this lasts 5 hours it ends 2 AM where I live.

I'll play one if it's hosted in a weekend though.

It'll be funny if this game requires a replacement.

I don't want to tell you both how to host this thing, but I had a thought this morning: Maybe when people sign up, you could leave options for "Yes, I can play if the game is less than ___ hours" or something? That might help to increase potential participation, avoid or plan for replacement situations, and give you all a better idea of how long everyone is available.

The replacement option was a joke. I guess I should have mentioned that. I just couldn't pass up the chance to have an undecided option. I'll switch it to say 'maybe.'

Oh, okay. :P

We could also lynch the players who can't play for too long.

I'm going to go ahead and vote yes, with the understanding that I may be called upon to do work (or at least r pretend to do work) druing the game. If that happens, you guys can lynch me.

Good point.

Four players does not a mafia game make. Bump bump bumpy bump.

And I will probably not actually be able to play. They're making me stay at the office all night on election night. I'm going to try to slip away, but not sure how possible it is.

Bummer! That's understandable though.

Another game that MP is pressuring me into playing lol. So if we have enough people involved to play I'll join in the fun!

I've decided to try to stay awake in solidarity with America and hence try to have some fun with this turbo as well. But no 100% promise, because the longer the game will last, the more difficult it will beco- oh wait I'll get lynched or killed early on, nvmd.

Screw it. Let's make this happen. Will be playing from my phone as I watch results come in, and also get progressively drunker. Woo!

I might end up on my phone as well, I'll just be sober all night.

Oh, I definitely will be on my phone and definitely will be drinking.

I would vote yes but my work likes to change the schedule a lot, so I'm voting maybe and will switch to yes tomorrow if the schedule doesn't change.

Sounds like I need to extend my solidarity via drinking, too.

There should definitely be some drunk scumslips in such a game.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to commit the time for this. Should be fun though.

If I calculated it properly, this is set to start around the time I get out of my exam, so if you'll pardon me around an hour or so after it begins for me to get home, I should be able to play. By all means just lynch me if I take too long though.

Here we go again, an Australian getting involved in US politics

I bumped Llama down to a maybe on the roster. Only seven people so far. Keep 'em coming!

Yeah I'm in.

I'm in like Huma Abedin's divorce papers.

How long until this starts? I just got home.

23 hours

Oh. Um. Looks like I got the date wrong.

No you were right. The election is over now.

Appropriate.

I have a weird not-teaching day Wednesday, so I'm in! Might make tomorrow less terrible

By some bizarre circumstance, this just may work for me schedule-wise I've never played anything like this before though - can anyone please give me a brief précis of this works?

It's going to be a super-sped up game. It's almost all chance and gut reads. Day and night phases will last for minutes instead of hours. We'll send out roles a few hours before game time. I don't know if votes will be by poll or just in thread.

Sounds intriguing. Please count me in.

39 more let's go

Two more would be best. I think.
