There will be a TIME LIMIT for Specials to send in their PMs. The time limit will be 48 hours after the posting of the treason decision (NOT after the voting closes) on weekdays, and 72 hours if any of the 24 hours falls on Saturday or Sunday. There is a one week time limit for the treason vote.

I think every one vetoed the time limit, but the law was never updated.

do you really want to lose like last time? Time limits dont help the good guys at all. Because everyone wait until the last moment and rushes someone up on a vote. No time limits are better. More thoughts and more discussion and the lynch is achieved by consensus rather than a forced restriction.

go au naturel, much better.

for his willingness to jump on an innocent republicans train...and for his unwillingness to lynch remus west. just seems plain evil to me. i mean for a man who says he's got a grudge over the dude for like 30 years...he's not willing to drop a vote on remus.l..sounds fishy to me.

FWIW I still feel good (as good as I can on day 1, anyhow) about my Newcastle vote. That "feels like evil Remus" post is a little out of place and feels to me like a "Let's see if we can get something going on Remus, now I just need to think of something to type in support" post.

I'm not opposed to lynching theohall, though I am indifferent on it at this point.

While theo may not be a democrat he's also not a republican special.
He said he was good with being lynched, so, even if he ends up being a plain old republican at least we get some info and, unlike last game, don't out all our specials on day one :doh:
