My vote: I'm up for anything. I was all prepared to be sneaky about what all the actual roles were in my game...and this way I won't be the one to blame for being tricksy.

Though those questions are going to take some thought... I mean, thinking?! In this game? Absurd.

Just burst your head with the questions!

But I truly hope they will provide you all with a lots of material to go on on Day1... I trust you on that!

But again, if you wish to have some occupations, just to be sure, it's okay by me. I just think / hope we won't need them this time as they have generally felt quite fabricated to me (not counting the few games where they were built in the game with more seriousness, like Dueling Wizards family-trees or the RPG-game).

The biggest problem I have is that you are asking us to draw conclusion about information we don't have yet and how it would impact the game, ergo I want the information...I'll tell you what, you tell me the info privately and I'll decide what I think.

But to be honest, I'm not quite sure what you mean here: the undisclosed roles or the questionnaire (or something else)?

Leaving the three roles undisclosed in the beginning - but making them more or less clear in the Nightly narrations - I think could add to the suspension of the game and would make it more enjoyable. I'm not going to be too cryptic about them anyway as I'm not interested in being a foul moderator who intentionally leads people astray. That has never been my goal with this. It will all depend on the way the game turns out. They might be clear to everyone in one or two Nights or then not, all depending on the action that takes place...

If you were pointing at the questionnaire, well... I'm quite sure you all have your preconceptions of the others playing, of most of them. This I admit is a kind of exploitation, but only to make the Day1 more interesting. You were yourself referring to the nemesis of yours (whatever the plural of that is in old-Greek)... so just bring them forwards as the time is up and make them part of the village standings in the beginning of the game! Then we'll see what comes out of it - if anything. Remember, the idea of that is to replace the occupations with revealing something you think of each other collectively. You may use that information as you wish, but I think it better thing to grasp than any random occupations people have come up with before they even know what their role will be...

If it was something else you should come back to the subject... And if it was one of the two I mentioned and my answers didn't make you content, please raise the issue again.

All I wish is that you would have a nice game you all enjoy. It is perfectly possible that I think of this differently than some of you and because of that I would be happy to get all the differing views beforehand - as now we have time to change things...

All right... I'll play. Sounds fun.

10 GMT would be much better than 9 - I'm typically home by 10. Typically. I'm not making guarantees about the amount of time I can devote - evenings are clear but basically everything else isn't.

(It's been a looong time... last spring??)

So good to see you around Firefoot!

As much as I want to play in this game, one of my classes has decided I am to have no fun this semester. I'm pretty swamped for the moment. So I must sit this out.
