I'm afraid I may not be able to play due to certain circumstances but theres a good chance everything will clear up by this Monday so I'll have to be put on the 'Possiblities' list for the time being. Sorry.

Count me in. I don't want to miss Mith's game. I'm good with double lynchings but I ask you Mith about the retractable votes. I'm okay with them but I remember in your first modding you became exasperated with the amount of retracting

It wasn't the retracting it was certain people *cough* confusing me ......

As for double lynchings...... I am still cogitating.... it is a very small game and I don't want to lynch say on day one 2 people who maybe have only 2-3 votes each. Conversely it would be difficult to refuse a double lynching if two people got 6 votes each ... I may set a high threshold for a double lynch and have a tiebreaker for lower ties.....

Retractable votes will happen...they make things more interesting and with no hunter/guardian may redress the balance for villagers.

That sounds more than reasonable! Mod-goddess deciding on a double lynch situation: so the villagers wouldn't know, whether there would actually be a double lynch or not! Sounds interesting and adds a twist or two...

It seems I can't stay out of these ones...

But still, if there is a late hour rush, and someone really anxious to play would be left outside, I could be the one to make room for her/him.

Thinking about getting recruits for this game. Should you, Mith, put "an add" to the TiGJ thread to announce this game once more? You started this thread so early, that some people might not find this one, and just be waiting for the next game be announced at the WWJ -thread (people seem to be lazy to go one or two pages back to find the information they are searching for...).

Which brings me to my other question. What is the title of that renonwned first game? I'd like to see, what was it like, but have no idea, how to search for it (and no time to start searching actively )
