Well, I'll be offline for pretty much the next two weeks, so even if I weren't retired that probably wouldn't work so well. ;)

First players are assigned to town or mafia.
Then the 2 mafia players choose a PR for them. And all players vote for town PRs.
Then PRs are assigned randomly.

So yes, when voting for town PRs, players know which side they're on. In addition to that, mafia know what role they chose.

I mean, there may be bullets in the flavour?

Hm. Not sure how I feel about joining a game where I can't shoot someone. I suppose knifing people might be an option, though.

I'm probably in, but let me see how things are going at work tomorrow first.

Splendid.

Things are still quiet. I'm in.

That's 9 players. Protesting players, perhaps, but still players.

I'll get things rolling, but mafia will have a couple of days to discuss their PR. Once that's been decided, I'll start Day 0.

I am unable to initiate conversations with the three of you. I don't think it's my privacy settings, so please check or send me a PM to get things started.

All other PMs have been sent.

Did you mean to ping me? I'm not playing, but I guess you might have wanted to send me an observer thread link. My PM settings are completely open though. As I seem to be unable to start a conversation with you it does seem like it might be your privacy settings.

No, you were not the intended ping. Sorry!

You're actually the one I need to send a PM to.

No problem. It might still be worth double checking your PM settings as I am blocked from sending you one.

Perhaps you have it set to friends only?

Oops, yes I did. I could have sworn I changed that at some point in the past, but heh. Remaining PMs are being sent.

At last! There will be a game!

THERE WILL BE A GAME!!

Where? I don't see any game thread yet!
