Talking about the characters... do I get immunity from lynching as you surely can't lynch a grin without a cat?

1 retract per person, for the entire game. I can easily change the ranger thing, no problem.

But the player list does look so great...newbies plus those who haven't played since forever (coughAganzircough)...
doooooooooo iiiiiiiiitttttttttttt

I will be hard for me to get into character too. Couldn't find my copy of Alice In Wonderland/Through The Looking-glass which is a shame because it was given to me many years ago by someone special, and it is a wonderful book. All I know about Humpty Dumtpy is that he's gotta have a mind not to fall off his high horses or he might shatter quite irreversibly.

"Off with their heads" is the Queen of Hearts, she says it a rediculous number of times.

And here:

Alice in Wonderland: http://books.google.ca/books?id=ID5P...age&q=&f=false

Through the Looking Glass: http://books.google.ca/books?id=jQ9t...0glass&f=false

I heart Google books.

So since we are starting today I'm going to put up the game thread now, just with a little intro and the final rules (no posting there please). I will wait to send out the roles until I know for sure whether or not Brinn is playing, but you can expect them later on today.

The DL is going to be 9:30 PM EST, so just half an hour sooner then what I had said earlier. Hope that's good for everyone.

Well, you could send out the roles early since no one's switching to Tweedledee... just sayin.

Hey it's okay, like Lommy said this is such a big game anyway.
And if you don't join this one, it's going to be another forever till we get to play together since I'm rather sure I don't have time in May or the summer, and I can't say anything about the autumn yet...

Haha yeah, if we end up being team mates (wolves, shirriffs or whatever) that would be an extremely useful trick!

Okay, thanks.

edit: I read the game thread and two additional questions popped into my mind (why am I the only one asking questions?). I take it that the Seer sees the Cursed as an ordo? And is the Cobbler's role revealed when they die?
