Don't be too worried... things will settle themselves... And the Night-talker can PM to her/his choice as soon as s/he can. The decisions that prevent that action will come when they come... and will take effect only when they come.

If the Captain remains the same from previous Day, it's easy and he can just decide his BGs and post that sometime during the Day, but if he's picked only on this Day, he cannot really announce it before the DL. (Unless you made it so that all people who are possible to become Captains during the Day should post you a BG list, and you used the one of the person who become the Captain.) Well, but anyway, I just guess we need to see and hope that it will work.

It will work, let me assure you. Let's not work with Kantian deontology where everything is just absolutely either/or but with Aristotelian way of saying that things go case by case... Remember the voted NG's take precedence over the Captain's BG's and the BG's will just be able to discuss after their Captain has named them... it might happen immediately as the Day ends or later during the Night. It's up to the situation.

It makes this actually more "realistic"...

just for clarification, can we also vote that we don't want any Captain on Day 1? (Normally by voting "no Captain"?)

Nope. On Day1 you need to choose a Captain. After that it's up to you if you want to have the role around. It might be handy at some point and might be devastating. Your choice.

Okay, but I guess then it would be the best to say that the Night-traitor doesn't affect the Night-talker and his friend at all. Because that way we avoid any complications and make it fair for everybody. (Because otherwise, the Night-talker who is the fastest to send you whom he's PMing to will be actually in the biggest disadvantage as he will be also the earliest informed that he actually can't PM (if he's been targeted that Night.))

I'd say no to this. The Night-Traitor should be able to affect also the Night-Talkers but the effect goes on only when that person has informed me about it - like with other Nightly-things.

Let's say you Legate have been "chosen" as the Night-Talker. You'll get the PM from me a little bit after the Day has ended (I need to take care of the possible urgent matters first). As soon as you get my PM you can contact any one person you wish (I'd like to hear from you who you choose but otherwise it's between you two). Then if the Cobbler chooses you let's say 12 hours to the Night I'll PM you (and your chosen friend) not to send any PM's any more that Night. And that's it. If the Cobbler has decided to prevent you from doing things already before (like when he has gotten out of the thread for the Day involved) and has notified me of his choice I can tell you immediately after the Day ends that sadly you would have been the Talker but someone prevented it.
