[FellaLibby]

Boy you folks haven't made it easy for me to call a vote. Just a lot of handshakes and smacking eachothers bottoms like ol time buddies.

<p>Don't put too much stake in the previous game's coincidences, guys.</p><p> </p><p> I'd say watch out for people who are oversharing out of the gate.

(which in itself could appear scummy) I'd discount an over-reliance on it as it may scare people off voting and although the lynch might not be the only weapon we have it isn't one we can afford to gimp!</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

Voting 2nd through 6th is a wide area though. Obviously there is likely to be scum on a vote but the specific timing of it matters more. 3rd is just early enough to not seem like a train but it also doesn’t make you seem as aggressive.

<span style="font-size:36px;">Day Phase is closed. Write up coming shortly.</span>

[lukess11]

Huh?

[lukess11]

Huh?

 

Nvm. I am a dumb.

[Eternal Phoenix]

The League (and several others) had assembled at the Hall of Justice to see if they could sort this problem out. Being face blind was...an obstacle. Speculation about who was there and who was not abounded and in the end, no majority was reached. Everyone dispersed for the evening, wondering what the night would bring.

Post during the night if you wanna but keep the game talk to yourselves and your teammates if you have any of those. You know the rules. Wonder how this is gonna shake out...

[Eternal Phoenix]

I'll repeat this in case anyone didn't read their whole PM for some reason. If you have any questions about how your role or any power in it works, please feel free to ask me anything. Otherwise, good night, and good luck.

[Tha Black Phenom]

<p>Just caught up. I've been MIA this weekend and should be good to go for the upcoming week. Interesting phase all in all, more or less went how I expected it to. This third vote aspect debated here was intriguing. I'd say context plays a part but we'll see how that pans out. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Other than that, not much in terms of notes to go so far. I have haphazard knowledge in DC material, but who knows whether that will even matter much.</p>

[Destiny]

There were some things to be picked up on. I'll try to wait to sleep until after I've read the write-up later.

[Eternal Phoenix]

<p>Night 1</p><p> </p><p>

Everyone had detailed plans for the evening. Something to do. Someone to see. Perhaps some murder. Who knows? Nobody. And nobody would. Why? Well...because before anyone could do anything...before anyone could act on their heroic plans or nefarious schemes...a man in green decided to stop <em>everyone</em>. An explosion of white lit up the sky like a second sun. There were no shadows to skulk through. Every action taken would have been visible to all. And so everyone stayed at home until it was once more time to gather at the Hall of Justice. What a world.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Nobody has died</strong></span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Why yes, yes you do get an extra half hour.
