Sloonei! Welcome!

RYM represent.

ahoy! i've done some research around here, but are there any rules or things here that may be different from the RYM norms? i'd hate to make a bunch of noob mistakes right off the bat.

Good question!

Here are the ones that first come to mind:

1) Votes must be cast in the poll versus bolded in the thread to count. As Epi noted, it's generally good form to post and explain your vote at the time you cast it in the poll, but it is not necessary.

2) As you can see, the roles are listed, since we generally play with open setups. Consequently, role claims are against the rules, and dumping information found from your role into the thread is seen as bad form. For example, say you are the role checker role and uncover that MP07 is mafia. Even if you don't out yourself as role checker (cop, seer, etc.), if you just go into the thread and say "MP is bad", that will be considered bad form. Instead, a player will case another player REALLY hard if they have particular reason to believe they're bad via their role power. So while role powers tend to more heavily utilized than RYM, information gained from outside the thread enters the thread via casing, rather than hard information claims.

3) Though these aren't necessarily differences, you should note that Days for this game are 48 hours, Nights are 24 hours. Night talking is allowed. Any BTSC (behind the scenes contact; i.e., masons or scum teams) is allowed during Days and Nights.

Can't think of much else at the moment... I'm sure you'll do great! And if you have questions, just ask at any point during the game, people are generally helpful around here even if they're arguing that you're a mafia (in this game, a communist). :P

thanks! i'll try not to be shy.

I doubt the game will be filled before acrosstheaether has a chance to sign up, but I am officially reserving a spot for her just in case.

It occurred to me yesterday after I signed up that I'm going to be out of town on vacation in 2 weeks.

But given the theme and hosts, I'm going to try and stick with it. If I have to resort to a lot of phone posting, so be it.

I'm in.

This game is now officially MovingPictures Invitational Game.

Just 2 more! This better fill before I get back from the Rush concert tonight so we can start tomorrow.

Don't worry, we can just lynch you Day 1.

Another question: since votes are done through a poll, I assume changing votes isn't a thing in this site, right?

That depends on the host. It's different for each game.

I'd like to thank the host(s) of this game for being so receptive to numerous new people.

Many welcomes and yays @ all of the new people! I'm excited to play a game with so many fresh faces

Two more please!!

if there is still room I'd like to play

Yay!

Welcome, TinyBubbles!!

Just one more!!! Please sign up, someone.

Wait!! Roxy is in the poll.

Don't know how long ago that happened but it must have been recent.

We're full then? Game now please.

That said, I will be in Austin (again) tonight, so I may actually not be here until tomorrow after class. We shall see.

I didn't say I wouldn't be here during Day 1 at all. Nice try. :P

Besides, I get lynched Day 1 enough.

Hurrah, we're all set!!

I just returned from a bachelor party, and I have the welts and hangover to prove it. Allow me a few hours to collect myself, and then we'll start Day 0.

Damn taxes. He's in jail.

when is this happening? :o

Roles will be going out in a few minutes!

All roles should be out. If you did not receive a role PM, please let me and Russtifinko know ASAP.

Russtifinko will start Day 0 soon. He is aiming for a time that will allow for consistency in the Host posts, since consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds important to ensuring we all have a fun game.
