/IN in case anyone backs out, which often happens at the start of the game.  So I can be a replacement.

What Archetype said. If you want to play right away, there's space enough to accomodate you. One caveat though: Do you have any experience in playing forum mafia? This setup is rather complex and might be too hard for a complete newbie.

If you want to play from the beginning, we can easily expand the setup to accommodate you. I mean, it was originally meant for 17 players anyway.

k/ that'll work.

Signups close in 18 hours.

PMs are out! THREAD LOCKED except for taggers. If you have any questions about your role, feel free to ask. Day 1 will start some time monday afternoon probably.

[faust]

Day start is scheduled for today at 11 am. I am still missing some check-ins though. The players in question are strongly advised to check in in time, or else the start of the game will be delayed.

I need to be more careful from now on. One of the survivors, I do not know which one, found my journal and apparently didn't like what I wrote there, because he decided to burn it. I guess I'll stick to the habit of another passenger and call everyone I talk about by nicknames I make up.

By my personal count, this is the 49th day we spend on this island, still hoping to be rescued. We have accomodated ourselves reasonably well by now, and food and water gathering runs smoothly. But out there are other people who have some kind of grudge against us - people like Ethan (no need to give nicknames to dead men, right?). Only yesterday, that crazy jungle chick showed up and told everyone how these guys were going to attack us. Well guess what - nothing happened. Whoever suggested listening to that French woman? I think it must have been Teproc.

In the meantime, a group of people decided to grab some unstable dynamite to blow up a hatch door they found in the middle of the jungle - to hide from the Others. Clever reasoning, man. For all we know, the Others could be right behind that door. And one of them got blown up all across the jungle along the way. Don't worry though - he was not one of the guys I like.

What they found behind that door was, as rumor has it, a weird underground science lab from like the seventies. They also met some other crazy guy who told them they had to push a button every couple of minutes to save the world. Guess what? They listened to him too. There's way too much listening to weirdos going on on this island, if you ask me. (Noone asks me, of course, because why talk to sane people?) A computer that needs button pushing every so-and-so minute? Please. Even back in hippie time, it should have been possible to program a routine for that. The whole thing is clearly a hoax, though a very impressive one.

So we're in season 2, my favorite, sweet !

Very excited for this, perfect timing too, with M54 just ending.

[Teproc]

Out of curiosity, who is familiar with the flavor ?

[Witherweaver]

Not I.

Vote: TwistedArcher because it's been a while.

[Ichimaru Gin]

Not I.

I'm hoping with this many people, town won't be hurt as much by the inevitable lurkers.

PPE: Seriously WW, I did not edit this post after you posted 

[2.71828.....]

not me. 

Administrative note:  I actually have a job that will take up time during the day and I will most definitely not post as much as everyone (including myself) is used to.  I also won't have internet at my apartment until Saturday, so that limits my availability again this week.  So sorry for the lurking in advance

Other administrative note:  vote: Teproc for knowing the flavor

ppe: 2

That's generally not how it works because active townie just get killed.

Though with RMM it might not be as big a deal since there are a lot more night actions to dissect, which helps lurkers stay engaged (it's not as much about time-consuming rereads).

[xeiron]

Not I.

With these large games, to many posts have often been a bigger problem than lurkers. The thread becomes so big that nobody wants to reread.
Not to say that I recomend lurking anyway.

What I really mean by this statement, is it'd be nice to not be like the only active townie surrounded by scum again.

Is this for real?

Just because one person lurking might theoretically hurt town less in a setup of this size (but I'm likely wrong about that?), doesn't mean it's still not an anti-town behavior.

Vote: Ichi for a suspiciously strong reaction to an RVS vote.

Not really suspicious.

[Witherweaver]

I like e's digging for subtle stuff, though.

[Ichimaru Gin]

RVS? Dude, he gave a reason that could theoretically be legitimate in his eyes and is more of a realish reason. I've had "real" votes on me this early before, so no, I don't think it's an RVS vote--probably even less so now.

I missed a PPE in there somewhere.

I think I said that I want people to not be lurkers...

[xeiron]

For Teproc and others who know the setup:
Does it make sense flavorwise for multiple people to be Man-in-Black-aligned?
Or is it most likely a single third-party player.
