We all know how starting the Day1 can be hard. The occupations have served as excuses in many games to start the banter and take the game off.

Now I would like to try a different approach to the Day1's, and hopefully leave all those fabricated roles aside for good. I will be asking all of you players to fill a questionnaire before the game starts. The questions will be "officially" PM'd to you about 24 hours before the Day1 starts and the list of players is closed. You should give me your answers at least an hour before the game actually starts (so you have 23 hours to fill them) by replying to my PM. Please: do not post your answers to the thread! As we will have this "gallup" embedded to the narration of Night1, we might have more fruitful things to start from than just mere occupation-related stuff.

I hope you will make the most out of this gallup. I will be giving you a chance of leaving a question blank if you really feel you don't know how to answer it, but I just hope you remember that for this stuff to work we need as many answers as possible. No one's personal answers will be revealed. They will be presented as a sum total of the village attitude to one another so feel free to answer as honestly as you can - or as cunningly as you can, depending on who you are and how do you wish to play your game.

The questionnaire will look more or less the following (just for you to start thinking about it - naturally it can be answered only after the signing up is complete). You may have more than one name as an answer to any one of the questions.

1. Is there a person in this village you tend to trust? Who?
2. Is there a person in this village you tend to symphatise with? Who?
3. Is there a person in this village you tend to distrust whatever is the case? Who?
4. Is there a person in this village you're afraid of in principle? Who?
5. Name one or two persons (or more) you would really like to be on the same side with.

If you come up with other questions that would be worth asking or if you have points about why one or more of these are a bad ones to ask, please post your views on this thread or PM me about them.
