For today, I'll do it one more time, but as of day two, keeping track of votes and when you go to bed will be part of the game. You will need to formally unvote yourself, or give proxy to someone who can. For New Zealanders, this is a bit of a pain, but it's a fairly convenient time zone for most of the rest of the world.

There's an eerie silence in the ward, broken by the padding of slippers and the odd bump into a wall. The staff and patients sneak furtive looks at one another in hopes of getting a notion about how to end the day. If there was a smell in the air beyond stale mattresses, it was desperation. Players have just over 12 hours before day one finishes.

That boy will be the death of me. Must he always be putting himself in precarious situations? Many thanks, but we also have the breadwinner to thank for making it all possible. Since it is getting late, I would like to pop into the kitchen and see what is ready in the fridge to serve everyone. Maybe some juice or finger foods.

Once again, you make a good argument for Creator vehicle sets. I'll definitely keep my eye out for this set, and a good price for it.

There are roughly 24 hours left in this 'day'.

Very astute. Day one is certainly off to a rocky start. As this is Cat Manuel's first experience in such a game of life and the edit was completed within a minute of the post, there will a certain leniency here. But in the future, such lenience would be unprofessional and will get a penalty vote. A reminder: 7. Do not edit your posts. If you make a mistake and want to correct it, just repost it with an 'Excuse my nonsense above, I meant to say...' Please everyone, read the first page to double check what's going on.

Lynch Vote Tally Nobody Oh dear. Oh dear. I'm very, very disappointed in you all. You were on the verge of making progress, and now we're back at square one. The day is not over yet, and there is room to improve, but again, let me remind you: If no progress is made today, I will be very, very irritable tomorrow. In the meantime, until sundown, I will be in my office, falsifying The Walrus' insurance forms thinking about what a suitable punishment will be if there is no conviction by the end of today. Moderator note: Please be sure to bold your votes and unvotes in the future.

I heard that! I did not spend eight years in medical school in order to be snidely mocked by delusional beatnik delinquents. You will refer to me by my proper title. Nurse Pendleton, triple his medication! Lynch Vote Tally Dougie Douglas/Hinckley 1 (Cornelius Murdock) Stanley/Cornelius Murdock 1 (Hinckley)

No worries, I knew you were expected back on the 2nd. There's another 36 hours in Day One, lots of time to participate

It seems pretty clear that Dougie was voting Big Cam for PR, by showing the updated PR tally, but then he selectively quoted my post showing PR voting was over and that lynching had begun, which is confusing. And Washing Bear pointed this out. So, because of that, his vote for Big Cam will remain as a lynch vote. But he has plenty of time to change his vote if it wasn't his intention. The PR decision is over, and this kind of confusion won't need to occur in the future of the game. Lynch Vote Tally Big Cam 1 (Hinckley) Also, a reminder from the rules: 13. About meta-gaming. As a serial meta-gamer (despite thinking it poor game play), I've designed this game to be anti-meta. Using the number picker at random.org, avatars were assigned rooms, then players were (for the most part) randomly assigned avatars, and after those were settled, roles and powers were randomly assigned. There is no connection between hospital roles and game roles. So have fun in the game, but don't think nurses are being led by the doctors, or there is any meaning between room groupings. If you do, you will shoot yourself in the foot and hurt your team. And Dougie, about Flickr, I know what you're saying

I found particularly in the minifig series one and in the couple of magnet sets I bought, the plastic is not what it should be. In those sets, if I hold the torso in one hand, and the legs in another, they wobble, which doesn't happen in regular sets. While I'm not going to join an Internet campaign over it, it is very noticeable, and have adjusted my purchasing habits due to it. (No magnets, and I'm in debate about following up on the minifig series)

Understandable, our Big companion, but the truth is, if you come up with nothing today, I'm going to be mighty irritable tomorrow. I sincerely ask that everyone consider the dire situation and act accordingly. If nobody takes action, I will have to enact more severe measures tomorrow. I will not tolerate murder in my hospital.

Well, it looks like, for whatever reason, you've put your trust in the suicidal depressive known as Chief Washing Bear. From now on, any patient's questions about the hospital will be going through him. In the case that something should happen to him, Big Cam will be your liaison. If something should happen to him, then Ryan Catchers will take the lead, and so on down the line. If somehow Stanley Spussemmin should become PR, well, this hospital is pretty much in deep trouble. Let's hope you manage to keep your PR alive. From here, I would like you to discuss among your yourselves, staff and patients, and decide if somebody seems suspicious above others. You have until sundown to let me know your decision. Patients and staff now have 48 hours to vote for a lynch. The player with the highest number of votes will be removed from the ward. Good luck! P.R. in order of voting: Chief Washing Bear (7; KingoftheZempk, JimButcher, Dragonator, Shadows, Roncanator, Lord Arjay, Quarryman) Big Cam (5; Big Cam, Sandy, ADHO15, sok117, Stash) Ryan Catchers (4; Rick, TinyPiesRUs, Walter Kovacs, Whitefang) Mr. Nowhere (2; Rufus, Scouts) Jesus (2; iamded, Badboy) Dudley Eisenhower (1; Mrlegoninja) Stanley Spussemmin (1: CorneliusMurdock) Please note that Dougie Douglas, Petey Pirowski, and Cat Manuel abstained from voting.

It's just about noon here, and the PR will be chosen at midnight. From there, there will be 48 hours of voting out the Sinister Insane. Time to start analyzing

You did such a great job, and that's such a little, little thing. Looking forward to your next great creation.

Unbelievable, that she could have been murdered. This has been an emotional roller coaster. I do think some of the theories seem far fetched though. To assume that she was shot, dragged up with a rope, and then the murder weapon hid in a department store for five years seems to be just too much conjecture. And I don't know how incompetent the police department would have to be to miss a gun shot in an autopsy. She fell from four stories, the body wouldn't have exploded. I think we're onto something, but shouldn't assume too much too fast, or we're going to look like suckers. I'm in agreement about going to my house next.
