Do they need to inform you first or can they just start PMing to the others? For example: I get a PM from you that I am a Night-talker, and I pick Boro, so can I PM him straightaway, or do I need to ask you first and you will inform him or something?

Also, I presume, from what you said, that all the Night-guards (well, of course in their case) and BGs will be publicly revealed, so that nobody chooses them. How does the Captain choose the BGs? Is there a form in which he writes it on the thread? (Like, for example, "++BG Boro and Valier") I think that is something that should be taken care of.

NB. a referendum can not be called for during the last hour of the Day (just to prevent any last minute triggering with the Captaincy with just a few people online) – people can vote for a new Captain to the last minute but an election can not be called forwards at the last moments.

Could you clarify it a bit? What does it mean "will be chosen"? Does it mean that you will choose him before the start? Or that we are bound to choose him on Day 1? And I just want to make sure I understood this sentence correctly:

By that you simply mean, that if during all the Day there was not a single vote for Captain, nobody can suddenly cast a for Captain one hour before DL? Is that right, or did you have something else in mind? By "Anyone can call for a Captaincy -vote at anytime during any Day" you mean just simply casting a vote for Captain, right? Or is there something else beyond it, like saying "I hereby call for a referendum today, let us vote for a Captain"? It's just phrased in a slightly confusing way (possibly unnecessarily).

EDIT: Oh, also btw, to the Night-talkers. What if one of them is targeted by the person who ruins the Nightly activities? (forgot what you called the role) In that case, it would be probably necessary to check up with you first before I PM Boro (to use the example I used above) to make sure he was not targeted by this Night-comm destroyer - if that affects him. Though I think it would be best if it didn't, because then it creates an impossibly long chain of events needed before anything can happen, which basically wastes the Night anyway (you need to PM me that I am the Night-talker, the Night-comm destroyer needs to PM you that he targets Boro, I need to PM you that I want to talk to Boro, you need to PM me that I cannot talk to Boro).

EDITEDIT: Oh, and I presume with that Night-traitor, that by "can not prevent things two Nights in a row" you mean "cannot prevent the SAME PERSON from doing something two Nights in a row". Or in other words, cannot target the same person twice in a row. Because the way you phrased it it sounds a bit as if he could use his ability only once per two Nights, just so that it doesn't confuse anybody.
