Vote: Peter Capaldi, since it needs to be done.

I'm actually surprised that he's so old, compared to Matt Smith. I wonder if that'll decrease the show's popularity any.

He's the same age as Hartnell was, although it was a very different show then. Still, he doesn't carry quite the same "Grandpa" feeling that Hartnell did, age aside. For my money it'll be nice. He's a really good actor, and will bring a more mature element back to the show. He'll be dark and forceful. He'll be good.

In an age of "Younger and Faster", it's certainly against the grain. But it's not the first time Doctor Who has gone controversial. I like it. It's a very, very intentional choice. Moffat has had plans for the coming stories since he wrote "Silence in the Library", and River commented about "How much younger [Tennant] was than 'her' Doctor".

Very excited.

Oh, I agree. I like it too. But I wonder how many younger fangirls/boys will be lost.

Just a heads up: I'm actually leaving Thursday for a boardgame-filled (yay!) family reunion. So, to prevent this game from having a reeeeealy late start, roles will be handed out Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I also will need a co-mod during the time I'm gone, and so I have someone to talk to during the game instead of making all the dead players paranoid. So if you're interested, let me know!

I'm very excited about Peter Capaldi.  I like Matt Smith a lot, but this will be a good change I think, rather than a never-ending stream of trying to be younger and more and more manic.

There will still be young companions, so I don't think young people will have any trouble staying around.

Hmm I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this.

Would people be OK with me starting this Wednesday morning? There will be little to no 'pregame chat' since mafia can talk during the day anyway, so the game will start once enough people have /confirmed. It gives this a little head start instead of HP, but I don't know what else to do since there is no way to start this game post-Thursday.

So that's what I'll probably do. Unless someone has a problem with it (That includes EFHW/Twistedarcher. I don't want them to feel like I'm hurting the productivity of their game by wedging mine in).

pre-game chat for mafia is rarely very useful. Do what you think is best. This starting likely won't hurt the productivity of their game, but will actually increase it, because people will be interested in the start of a game and come to f.ds when perhaps they otherwise might not have and when they aren't posting here they will post in H.P.

This is why I think we tend to see spikes of increased participation in all games when blitz games are being run. (I have to be around for Blitz!!! Anything could happen! Well nothing is happening in blitz... Why I wait I might as well go reread the other game I am currently in...)

[UmbrageOfSnow]

I don't care one way or another.  I'm just waiting patiently for my psychic paper, happy whenever it gets here.

[Jorbles]

I'm less patient. Less discussion! More PMs!

(If you want to wait that's fine, but I don't really care if scum have some lead time to plot. I don't think it's very beneficial, it just lets them touch base with each other. Usually nothing major develops out of this time.)

Hey, it was fairly beneficial in RMM7, we got our fakeclaims all worked out, even if one of them was the worst fakeclaim the universe has every seen...

[Voltgloss]

Worse than Captain_Frisk fakeclaiming dayvig?

Did you see mine?

[Jorbles]

Your claim wasn't that bad, you just got caught by a cop so no one listened to it.

[Voltgloss]

Man, I really need to read all of Shakespeare mafia.

But I find it hard to conceive a fakeclaim more hilariously ineffective than a fakeclaim that gets mod-disproven within minutes of you making it. 

Frisk:  "I'm a dayvig.  Boom, you're dead!"
Mod:  crickets chirping
Town:  "lynch his ass"

Of course, by that time Frisk had already survived multiple days after being effectively copped on Night 1, and had completely deluded nearly all of the town into lynching several of their strongest power roles, so his fakeclaim was really just the culmination of an absolutely crazy ride.

RMM7 was LotR.  That was where my bad fakeclaim was.  RMM5 (Shakespeare) I had a good fakeclaim.

I thought your fake claim there was fine, you just got copped by someone everyone thought was town.

Hehe...  I've already gotten MY PM...

Absolutely right.  And Sudgy's team won the LOTR game!

There's the takeaway, kids.  Ridiculous fakeclaims are the key to scum victory.

[Jimmmmm]

Sudgy's team won the LOTR game!

Woot!

(I didn't think his claim was bad, it just so happened that there were lots of Elves and Humans.)

[sudgy]

Although the mistake I made later was worse.  Voting when I'm a Hammerer and someone claimed a guilty cop result on me.
