<p>2 kills per night<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> (assuming) </span></strong>out of 26 peeps gives us 13 phases potentially... tbh could be 2 kills per night and an alternating kill (SK?) </p><p> </p><p>

9 scum would almost give us that magical 1/3 ratio 4+4+1</p>

[machinesxe]

Hi guys I’m around. I’d vote but I think we could wait it out a little.

I'm sure we'll learn more tonight. We know about one group shooting old timers with guns, gives me flashbacks.

[Destiny]

Like I said earlier, I would rather we use this phase to discuss things as much as we can. Day one doesn't always have to be a waste of a phase. For that reason, if machine is around like he says he is I would like some thoughts from him also.

I remember the SIN game. For some reason I think I was scum in that one. It's hard to remember the details.

Comes with the all paranoia of being scum and all the hope of being town. One of my favourite games was the Cornellverse themed one in Europe when I was the Big Game Hunter.... so many abilities, so many trophies to hunt and claim before I could win. Whcih I did. I think I murdered half the scum team, and that was only because they kept trying to kill me. Fun times. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Was also a good way to balance out an SK to give them a shot at winning too.

[Astil]

It's not important enough at the moment, Derek. I'll circle back to it if need be.

[Derek B]

Cool beans, I'll keep an eye on that. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

So we're still waiting to hear more from machinesxe am I right? I know everyone's time zones are different.

There's not much going on right now. If we don't hear from machinesxe soon I might drop a vote. He said he was around, so maybe Astil's theory is correct.
