Day ends. As it turns out, I got most of my work done, so a vignette will be up shortly. TrumpetKing has been convicted, and you have 20 hours to get your night actions in.

Apologies in advance, there won't be a closing vignette tonight. As I stated somewhere, I'm taking part in an art show this Thursday, and need to get a bunch of stuff ready to print tomorrow; Wednesday is a national holiday and the print shop is closed. Hectic stuff, but after Thursday I will be able to leisurely prepare everything. Even the beginning of day two I'll have time, since my printing will be done.

Four hours left

Vote Tally: Li'l Scouty 3 (CallMePie, ChromeKnight, Zepher) Li'l TrumpetKing 9 (Pandora, Endgame, the Boy Wonder, Hinckley, Capt. Redblade, Nightshroud, Rick, Murdock, Palathadric) Li’l DannyLongLegs 1 (TrumpetKing) A reminder, a majority is not required for lynching, and voting is mandatory. Eight students have yet to vote, and roughly 15 hours remain.

Vote Tally: Li'l Capt. Redblade 1 (Kiel) Li'l Scouty 2 (CallMePie, ChromeKnight) Li'l Zepher 1 (TrumpetKing) Li'l TrumpetKing 2 (Pandora, Endgame) 24 hours left

In order to balance the PM sent today to the scum, so that they cannot confirm themselves to each other through it, here is what they received: I'll remind all, that using info or wording from your PM in order to clear or convict players is against the rules, but more importantly, against the spirit of the game. It's an unfortunate way to start day one, and I hope it isn't an issue on future days... (I had planned to post this sort of thing in the first post, and it slipped my mind when making it, so that's my responsibility for not removing the possibility in advance)

I was a clerk and then an asst. manager at Toys R Us for about five years. Terrible pay, and Christmas was surreal, but I had a lot of fun. I was working there when the first wave of Star Wars Lego came out, and I couldn't resist especially when they were drastically marked down months later... It didn't sell as well as it does today.

Vote Tally: Nothing. Voting is mandatory. 34 hours to go.

I can't make titles. But I think someone out there has clearly recognised the superiority of the Informer. A licky boom boom down.

For the record, I'm going to send scum copies of most town PMs (minus the specific roles), just in case people decide they want to push this style of play further.

Cornelius Murdock is the official mayor. Voting has begun! Vote for mayor: Li'l Walter 3 (Kiel, Chromeknight, Endgame) Li'l Kiel 2 (C. Redblade, Nightshroud) Li'l Corny Murdock 9 (Danny, PirateDave, Peanuts, Callmepie, Rick, Palathadric, Cornelius Murdock, Walter Kovacs, the Boy Wonder, )

Mr. Def is at a club in Susukino drinking and on his phone. It looks to him like Li'l Corny is the mayor at this time. Voting is now open. More later...

Vote for mayor: Li'l Walter 1 (Kiel) Li'l Kiel 1 (C. Redblade) Li'l Corny Murdock 4 (Danny, PirateDave, Peanuts, Callmepie) Under 10 hours left.

Day one is up, just a pinch early. Have fun!

It's a new day at the Blutziegel School for Special Learners. It's early morning, and the kids are giddy. Li'l Capt. Redblade, Li'l Walter Kovacs, Li'l Cecilie, Li'l Peanuts, and Li'l Trumpet King sit at the front of the class. Li’l Cecilie imparts knowledge on the li'l crew. “So then, like, the guy starts making these totally wacky faces, then, like, the music gets totally wacky, and he yells ‘Harlem Shake’ an’ everybody gets totally wacky. It was, like, so cool!” Li’l Peanuts nods his head in agreement. “Yeah, yeah, that sounds totally rad. I wanna check it out!” Li’l Cornelius Murdock starts running around the room. “Teacher’s coming! Teacher’s coming!” Mr. def steps in. “Good morning students! The chime's about to ring. Shouldn't you be in your seats?” Getting in position, the students greet their teacher, "Good morning, Mr. def!" Mr. def turns on the TV, reminding students where they left off. "Now, let's consider the case of the Eurobricks Mafia. Now, of course, it was a lackluster ending, what with the 'winners' merely being left in that squalid room... But there was little that could logically happen." He pauses. "Now, let’s consider the question of how to handle a mafia team that is divided in such a way. How should we handle night action results?" Li'l Big Cam raises his arms. "Mememe! ME!" Switching off the TV, Mr. def looks over the class. "Well? Somebody? Speak up! It's not like I'll belittle a wrong answer from you. Say your word!" Li'l Big Cam launches himself onto the table. "SIR! ME! I KNOW!" "Very well then, enlighten us." “Sir! It should be handled with prudence, sir!” He takes a breath. “Both to prevent outing town power roles, and to not give scum info to confirm each other with!” Mr. def looks on approvingly. “Yes, and I would add that it could be shared within a trusted town block, allowing a vigilante to take them out as well.” He takes a moment to consider how to proceed. “Alright, next question: who are the best candidates for the town masons to recruit?” Dannylonglegs shoots his hand up. “I know! It’s the veteran players with the best win record! They will be most valuable to their team confirmed!” Mr. def scowls. “I hadn’t asked you to answer. And wrong! The best choice are solid players in the middle of the pack! They are less likely to be taken out by scum in the early game days and are more likely to be of value to you. Unless scum consider this point, and decide to target them too, in which case, the best and worst players are the ideal choice.” Li’l Big Cam’s hand shoots up. “Sir, I need to go to the li’l boys room, like now! I gotta wild number two on the way” Mr. def “Very well, go. I remember what happened the last time I accused you of being the boy who cried wolf, and I don't want to need my classroom disinfected again.” Li’l Big Cam scoots out of the room with clenched buttocks. “As for our next question, are the scum better to try to recruit active players or really quiet vanilla-looking players?” The class is quiet. “Statistically, vanilla’s are still more likely to be recruitable, and less likely to be killed by scum. At the same time, they will be the ones town lynches when they have no choice, so—“ “Sweet sassy molassy! What was that?!” Mr. def makes a gesture. "Li'l Boy Wonder, go to the restroom and see what the disturbance was." Li'l Boy Wonder shuffles out the door. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A MINUTE PASSES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Li'l Boy Wonder returns, "Li’l Big Cam? His megablocks, it exploded.” The class gasps. “Is he okay?” Li'l Boy Wonder looks at him, “No, his megablocks exploded. He’s dead. And I fished this sticky note out of the debris.” Mr. def calls, “Li’l Boy Wonder, read that message for the class!” Li’l Boy Wonder squints to read, “Uh, it says, thega me is a foot! Whatever that means.” “Oh no, I’m afraid you’re mistaken, I am well sure it says, ‘The game is afoot!’ Well class, I think you know what this means: you’re playing. This is not a test. This is the real thing, and Li'l Big Cam's ruptured rectum is surely evidence of that. You must find which of you are the killers. One of you will be convicted at the end of the day. You may vote for mayor for the time being.” "Feel free to spend time on the playground and make your call. May the best team win!" And with that, the class wonders why their parents ever signed permission slips.

Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town or the Scum. To win the game, the Town must kill off all the Scum, while the Scum needs to (knowingly) outnumber the Town. Third-party (neutral) characters have their own win conditions as outlined in their roles. 2. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting will be done in the following format; Vote: Player. Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Player. No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player. The player with the most votes will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the mayor will decide the lynch, through their vote, or by PM if necessary. Voting is mandatory. Failure to vote will incur a vote penalty the following game day. 2.5. A mayor will be elected in the first 24 hours of the game day one. Voting for the mayor will be done in the following format:Mayor: Player. Unvoting for the mayor will not be allowed. One may vote for themselves. In the case of a tie, the first person to achieve that number will win. In the case that the mayor loses their life, a new mayor will be elected in the first 24 hours of the following game day. The mayors single duty will be that of tiebreaker. 3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end when a majority vote has been reached after 72 hours. In the case of a unanimous vote, the day may end 24 hours early. After the day has been concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last 24 hours (or 48 hours if an emergency comes up). Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 20 hours of the night stage. 3.5. Players may not target the same player two nights in a row, and may not target themselves. 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as any that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the host via PM. That includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 6. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. 8. You may not edit your posts. 9. You must post in every day thread. 10.

Violation of the above rules may result in a 5 vote penalty vote penalty per every 4 living players against you, and death upon further offense.

Playground is ready, the photos are done... Unless I get into a car accident tonight, you'll be voting for a mayor in eight hours

I agree, those are B-grade movies. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood's action movies are C-grade or worse, making them solidly enjoyable. Compare them to Batman if you need to, but they should almost be considered one movie, since all of the talents remained the same. DC has had the money for decades, and the only reason they're working so hard to develop other properties right now is because they want to catch up to Marvel <cough, Green Lantern, cough>. I don't think there's any question that Marvel has handled their properties excellently. And the Marvel movies in development right now look to be a step up from the last round. Thor 2, Iron Man 3, and Guardians all have great talent behind them, on screen, in the writers' room, and the directors. Warner Brothers is going to be playing catch-up for at least a decade. I didn't enjoy Iron Man 2 much at all, just some scenes, but not as a movie. But the guy doing the new one, Shane Black, is a damn talented guy. Check out a movie he wrote and directed with Downey in the lead, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, if you want to get hyped up more for Iron Man 3. It's just an awesome relatively unknown film.

Alright We can start tonight! Day One opens at midnight my time, so just over 16 hours from now.

I can pretty well guess your birthday then

I've updated the avatars, since the bigger ones weren't clear looking when shrunk down. Feel free to update if you wish!
