As I stated, it was not my intention to create an RPG, but to provide the players with a background from which to start their posting (and to make my job of devising their deaths easier ). I was also hoping that it would assist in eliminating extraneous matters (such as BD friendships, PM'ing activity etc) from the game. I didn't intend that it should cause the game to be much different from the first one and, after an initial flurry of RPG-type posts, I don't think that it really was. Most of the discussion revolved around who had said what earlier, who had voted for whom etc.

As for friendships and relationships, I think that it would be difficult to eliminate these entirely. Whether there is a role play aspect or not, alliances will form and it is likely that reasons (village relationships) will be given for this. Although I do think that the phantom and Fea should be banned from ever participating in the same game again ...

In any event, I guess that the style of the game is really a matter for whoever is moderating it, provided that the players are happy to go along with the style that he or she suggests.
