Well, that would be up to him to decide... although I'd wonder what the mod was thinking in the first place when s/he paired them up together...

It all depends on what winning conditions the mod has given to the different roles (for example, are the lovers a separate team or are they on the village's or on the wolves' side or if there's some mixture of these).

The Might - the combination of lover wolf and lover Seer is, well it's unlikely, but if it happened we'd just play along none the wiser until, most likely, everyone else dies and they win! You don't always know all the rules and possibilities in this game, that's part of the fun!

As for PMing, well no you can't be sure that no one else is doing it, but there is a rule that no ordinary villager PMs another with anything game/role related while the game is running. Just as you'd follow the rule that says no one can post on the thread during the Night phase, so you follow that rule.

Another thing, what about these phases?
Does the night start after the deadline and lasts 12 hours?

Kath · 11-07-2007, 08:47 AM

No, each Day and each Night last 24 hours.

So, say we started at 9pm on the 10th then that Day would end at 9pm on the 11th. Night would then begin when the Day ends, so at 9pm on the 11th and it would end at 9pm on the 12th.

Does that make sense?

I'm all excited to play now. Any idea when we'll get started?

We'll get started as soon as we have a few more players, I have all the info I need (Thnaksgiving-things and verifications from the unsures) and I have finished my plannings. Depends, but I guess this might start early next week.

I'd like to hear the viewpoints from other players on the issue of me playing this game.

I'm leaving to Cuba early on Saturday morning (GMT) 17.11. and will probably have the first possibility to be online on Sunday afternoon / evening American timezones (we're in Havana late Saturday evening and will leave to Santiago early in the Sunday morning local time...). Also I'm not sure how easy it is to get net access in Santiago de Cuba. I've been told there are net cafés but if they are not easy to find I may have no time to search for them extensively.

So after the few first Days (if I'm alive still, that is) my participation would be somewhat unpredictable - depending on the local circumstances I'd be playing something from a bit less than normal to one post aDay or in the worst instance not being able to post. If I'm in the game I would sure do my best to help whatever cause I'm picked to support.

What say you? Is it ok. for you that I play or should I step aside?

PS. If the starting Day gets postponed for a reason or another I might be unpredictably online in the first Days but with full steam after Nov. 25th.
