Oh, and it's officially Night 0, you may post in factional QTs if you have them.

I'll keep an updated count of confirmations here, but N0 will last at least until tomorrow afternoon if you guys somehow confirm really fast.

a) I don't have the opening flavor written yet
b) Teams need time to chat a bit
c) I won't be on in the morning probably anyway.

11/13 confirmed.

So that's a quorum, but as I said, I'm going to let N0 continue until this afternoon.  I'm thinking 3-5ish forum time, but could be as late as 7 PM.  Game will start by then at the latest though.

Shakespeare and Company Bookstore, 12 rue de l'Odéon, Paris

A few light taps upon the pane made Sylvia Beach turn to the window. It had begun to snow again. She watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight.  It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where James Joyce lay buried.

Only last week the crates containing the first printing of Ulysses had arrived. Joyce's book had been banned in America and Britain so Sylvia had dipped into her savings and dipped her toe into the publishing business.  When the books came in, she had Ford Madox Ford gather the writers of the Left Bank for a celebration. Pascin brought as many bottles of wine as he could carry and Gertrude Stein and Hilaire Belloc organized a reading of passages from the new book, followed by readings from everyone else's books.

Several bottles of wine and pernod later things took a turn for the disastrous.  Zelda Fitzgerald was bored with the poetry and so focussed all her attention on the wine and before long she and Scott took up their usual dance of quarrel and reconciliation.  Hemingway drunkenly attempted to instruct Ezra Pound in boxing, then Loeb challenged him to a match to prove who was the superior teacher, which soon enough became a fight over Lady Twysden.  Wyndham Lewis took bets on the match and egged them both on.  Worst of all, Dos Passos started an argument about politics.

The next morning, Joyce was found floating face down in the Seine, surrounded by ruined copies of Ulysses, his heart pierced by the poison sting of a ray and a bullet through his good eye.

Sylvia turned from the window and addressed the guests, reassembled at the bookshop.

"Today we find the killers, I'm sure they are among us.  We clear away the cobwebs and think back to what happened that night.  Perhaps James' last words will help.  She passed around a scrap of paper,  torn from a copy of Ulysses with sloppy cursive scrawled over the printed text.


Quote from: James Joyce
Beware of the flapper and bogus mournful. Lily of the alley. All possess bachelor's button discovered by Rualdus Columbus. Tumble her. Columble her. Chameleon. Well then, permit me to draw your attention to item number three. There is plenty of him visible to the naked eye. Observe the mass of oxygenated vegetable matter on his skull. What ho, he bumps! The ugly duckling of the party, longcasted and deep in keel.  The mimes walk against the wind of justice but would not stoop to murder.  There's always some bloody clown or other kicking up a bloody murder about bloody nothing.

FIRST FIRST FIRST vote: QuickSync

I have a very strong scum read on you at the moment, mostly based on excessive-active lurking. That's a very common newb!scum tell.

Don't be too sad about being found out so quickly though, it happens.

You could speed up the game by telling us who your scum partners are.

I'm a vanilla townie, sadly. This is like the only game I'm disappointed to be town in, but I was looking forward to possibly being a mime.

I think I'll hold off on voting for now. So far silverspawn strikes me as Mime, and witherweaver as town.

After all, getting lynched as scum is my greatest skill. (see all past scum!me games)

sweet! a VT claim.

My highly developed analytical skills with mimes tell me that this is either a mime trying to get lynched or a townie trying to pretend like he is a mime trying to get lynched.

You can also read XP's post as: "I am a mime. I want to get lynched."

Sadly, this makes sense for all 3 alignments. It's really WIFOM.

Sadly, neither of those is true. I wasn't trying to VT claim at all, so I didn't think about this.

Yes. I think my general feeling of boringness just made me say vanilla townie and not town, because not being mime/scum feels "vanilla" regardless of PR.
