We received word from Ann Arbor that we are permitted to declassify additional setup info. Alignment PMs are now available. Namaste.

This is already looking so awesome

[Qvist]

I have the feeling that I might regret if I don't /in, so I will do it for now. If someone else wants the spot, he can have it though.

For balance purposes, if you are a Candidate, and you eliminate the five other Candidates for the win, you must survive one additional game phase (day or night) after the last Candidate’s death.

This same condition applies if you choose the Recruit Mother PR and Mother is chosen as one of the Candidates. (You do not need to kill Mother, but you do need to survive an additional game phase after the other five are eliminated. See the Mother Role PM for additional info.)

Lost the color in the quote. What happens if the Smoke Monster and Mother are Candidates?

Thank you for your question! As Alvar Hanso says, "Asking a question is like opening a box--and whatever your heart desires, there it will be."

It is guaranteed that the Smoke Monster and Mother will not both be Candidates, only one of them can be. This will be stated somewhere in the setup info--possibly it's in the Mother role description and unavailable right now--if it has not been stated already.

Got it. I'll wait until after the set-up's been posted to ask more questions.

Apparently /ins in the forum game queue don't count?

Glad I made it in time. I was swamped all day at work.

[Jimmmmm]

Shouldn't this have been, say, a 15- or 16-player game?

[O]

/in with a small chance I might back out but hopefully not

[gkrieg13]

I think that has to be a record for the quickest game to fill.  Just over 9 hours.

[mcmcsalot]

thank you all for coming, even though these names have been written in the signup list people may still chose to be substitutes who may be called to the island

Due to a security breach at the Orchid Station, we have decided to release all information relating to job assignments.

And if anyone comes across a rabbit with a number 4 painted on it, please run (do not walk) as quickly as you can in the other direction...

Oh, and Namaste.

Do Candidates flip when they die?

What happens if all Candidates vote for themselves as leader?

At the Dharma Initiative, we believe in demystifying the supernatural. All players will be fully identified upon flip, including whether or not they were considered a "Candidate" by a certain fictitious island deity. (God loves you as He loved Jacob.)

If no "Candidate" reaches 2 votes, there will be no Leader. But just because the votes are cast in secret does not mean the Candidates need to keep secret their intentions regarding who they plan to vote for.

On Hydra Island, we put six polar bears in a cage and explained these rules to them. Do you know how long it took them to effectively pick a leader? Two hours.

Namaste, and good luck.

Can anyone bid on faction-only powers even if they aren't that faction?

[Teproc]

Given that we're full already: when is this expected to start ?

Yeah. Don't really want to wait for the 22nd....

[SpaceAnemone]

I'm going to be away VLA-ish at a conference from 9th-15th Sept. The degree to which I'm present will depend on conference/airbnb wifi, whether or not the tourist sim I've ordered actually arrives before I leave, and probably the weather.

[Robz888]

Can anyone bid on faction-only powers even if they aren't that faction?

No. Select tasks are restricted to certain players. If a task says "Town only" that means only the town can bid on it.

[Robz888]

I am taking the submarine off-island for some research in the great state of California this weekend and will be semi-VLA all next week myself... but I don't see any reason not to start in the next 24 hours, as long as there are no objections?

[Teproc]

None from me. I don't know if Space's V/LA counts as such ?

D1 pass for space.
