I like how you're finally coming out of your background. :) the tenth avatar or something?

Huh?

Also now that I can see it. Isn't this Bernard Black? :D

Now I'd like to have a bottle of red wine and some books ;)

Yes, Bernard Black is my traditional avatar.

Hello there.

So,

Since I'm next on the hosting list, and Joe is asking me to start setting it up, here is the deal: I'm going to be away between 4th and 22nd Oct. I *should* have enough time to post, but I there is a good chance I'll be on crappy internet connection. Ergo, I'm not 100% sure I'd be 100% available.

I also mentioned I'm going to ask for a helper host to make sure my balance is right and help me resolve issues if I have any questions.

So, should I start the game after Joe's is over (and have my backup cover me if necessary when I'm away), or does someone else want to go instead and I'll wait till November?

General Kenobi.

Goooooo!

No-one will mind if the moderator's missing for half the game.

It should be fine if you get your backup to cover you during your absence.

Cool. I'll start a sign-up thread as soon as the current game is over.

You'll join I take it?

In the meantime if someone wishes to be a back-up mod, please hit me up. But please, do so only if you can't play. If some has time to join the game, I'd rather he/she joins it.

I’ll assist if need be, but will depend on how long the game will be. November 11th is the due date for my grandson so around that time I’ll be unavailable (but you should be available)

Should be fine. I'll be full time then.

I'll start a mod/admin quicktopic as soon as the game you're playing in is finished.

Sign up thread up.

Sure, unless I drop out at the last minute. :P

While waiting on the other game to start, here is a theory question. This was after reading adalia's post in the observer thread regarding no-lynch.

Hypothesis: If the game is at MYLO, and the situtation is believed to be "normal", it should automatically be a policy no-lynch. A lynch should only be made if the situation is belived to be non-"normal".

"Normal" in this case is defined as a situation, where mafia can only make one NK in the night and there is no way for town to lose straight away (e.g. by NK plus SK).

Proof: By going no-lynch, then at worst the situation next day will be same, but with a smaller pool to choose from. Ergo, slightly better. At best, town would get additional info from town PRs, if any.

Discuss?
