We give ourselves Too Much Time. Nothing should take 3 weeks. I worry the pace of this game would make me nuts.

I agree, 10 days is plenty.

Will you be around enough to get started, or should we plan to start the game on Friday? The game will start at night, so I need you to be around enough to pick up the email and (potentially) confer on the Night Kill/scan/protection.

Hey I just noticed you didn't add me to the list at the top...

I really am going to promise not to disappear... really really I am promising not too.. With sugar on top and everything..

that's why you have to use the big graphics to make sure you are noticed. Here let me help:

Unagi, after your performance last game, I'll follow you blindly* this game, if you play.

I do hope we all learned to be more active after last game.

Come on and play!

*At least unti the actual start of the game

I have to agree with Unagi. Huge games tend to bog down and people lose focus and interest

WooHoo.. I made the cut...

Put me in coach I am readddyyy to playyyy....

Fair enough - the mob has spoken.

If we start with 4 wolves, and since there are no conversions possible, we start at 13 Villagers/ 4 wolves.

What about this plan: The time limit is equal to the number of Villagers alive? All days count the same - whether weekend or weekday. Memorial Day weekend will not count at all (Sat, Sun, Mon).

Example 1:
Start of Day 1 - 13 days (17 Players - 13 Villagers/4 wolves)
Start of Day 2 - 11 days (15 Players - 11 Villagers/4 wolves)
Start of Day 3 - 9 days (13 Players - 9 Villagers/4 wolves)
Start of Day 4 - 7 days (11 Players - 7 Villagers/4 wolves)
Start of Day 5 - 5 days (9 Players - 5 Villagers/4 wolves)
Wolves win with Villager lynch on Day 5!

Example 2:
Start of Day 1 - 13 days (17 Players - 13 Villagers/4 wolves)
Start of Day 2 - 11 days (15 Players - 11 Villagers/4 wolves)

Bakhshot hits Villager
Beserker lynched taking out Villager

Start of Day 3 - 8 days (11 Players - 8 Villagers/3 wolves)

Using this method, the counter will still decrease as the Wolves kill off Villagers each night. The only way it wouldn't decrease is if the Village lynched a wolf and the Night Kill was blocked. Which is possible, but should be rare.

I like this method because there is some logic behind it, but I'm open to anything.

I'll check in at least - go ahead and start when you are ready.

Just need to be sure that you aren't revealing anything extra by stating definitively how many villagers are still in the game.

Would that reveal a Sorcerer's death?

Unagi · Post by **Unagi** » Mon May 13, 2013 12:02 pm

actually, I guess I am saying that I think you should count the Sorcerer as one of the Villagers, right?

Yes, per the rules, that is what he is. (Edit: Although re-reading, I guess it was a fair question to ask.

)

It won't work in all cases, but works in this case.

Got room for one more?

For old time's sake?

Fair warning - going to be on vacation first week of June (no, the werewolves cannot use my house for a party while we're gone), but should have some internet to keep up.

I like the weekends are one day as well. I also like the holidays weekend does not count at all.

Woo-hoo! Welcome aboard!

Unagi - are you in as well? We'd be at 19 with you participation giving us a small Cabal and all roles except the Medium.

Newcastle wrote:saturday & sunday should count as 1 day.

Noted. I think we still have enough time. If enough people agree with you, though, I'd be willing to change it. If we start with 19, we'll start with 15 villagers giving us 11 weekdays to work with plus 4 weekend days. That's a lot of time.

There are a couple people who can only check in after work, so we won't do anything until Tuesday at the earliest.

I wouldn't protest that, but I'm not sure that's entirely needed - maybe what we would really want is more like:

If the natural deadline should fall on a Saturday or Sunday - the deadline will really be on the Monday that follows.

That way - we still keep the clock moving on every day - but we try and minimize the problem of actually being there on a weekend day.

I could joIN, though I'm weighed down with work this month so don't expect a huge amount of participation from me.

Sorry guys, had to take care of the kids while the wife went to the doctor. We just need a last few confirmations and we'll be ready to go. I would expect the PMs to go out tomorrow night at the latest - maybe as early as this evening. We'll start in a new thread when the time comes.

17 days to the end of the month. Game hasnt started. Minimum 20 days till day 1 is hypotehtically over (roughly).....i think we could be a bit forgiving on day 1. I wouldnt be offended if you reconsider to join in. As long as you pop in here and there, i am ok with it, and also with the caveat that eventually youre participation will come up.

I understand where Unagi is coming from, but i think a lot of unique personal experiences hit last game - purge going awol (sickness i think), Mr. Bubbles and an ill child, RMC and his hospital stint, truicy & work and CR and his houdini act.

I think we can afford a wee bit of leeway. Just my two cents.

RMC · Post by **RMC** » Tue May 14, 2013 7:04 pm

No hospital stay this time for me..Already lost 15 pounds, and working out 3 times a week.

I do have a Disney vacation in the middle of June but will have access to internet the entire time.

I vote for LL to stay and use the lynch as a stress reliever!

Newcastle · Post by **Newcastle** » Tue May 14, 2013 7:05 pm

Also with 20 people in the game currently, this game has the potential to last into mid july and maybe august. This is going to be the only game around for a bit i'd think.

Come back Lagom...come back!

1 last thing - here in the US we're gonna have a massive 4 day holiday (memorial day) in about 10 days time...so push back the end of day 1 another 4 days.

Unagi · Post by **Unagi** » Tue May 14, 2013 7:19 pm

I'd personally like to invite Lagom back too. I'm sure he will be around enough.

I'd also like for LordMortis to play, because I know the same things that drive me crazy drive him crazy and it would be nice to have him here.
