Just as a heads up, the last week has been crazy for me. My father had to have an emergency surgery and it's throwing everything out of wack. Still working on setup, not sure what the change in time will do for people. Will get back to you guys when I can. Sorry about this.

Don't worry Jabbz, and best wishes to you and your father.
I have to run.

My level of availability is going to drop significantly next week, any idea when this thing will be starting?
Surprise! Turns out I'm a girl!

My hope is to sort it out today and send out emails tomorrow. My concern is that, like you, people's windows have changed and we might not have the numbers now. I appologize for dropping the ball, the last couple of weeks have been less than stellar stress and busy wise. Surgery at 79 pretty much treats complications as a given :/

If by chance I am forced to give you your third choice, then both your first and second pics will be discarded anonymously.

If I can't because of balance, I give your number two. For those that got their #1 the #2 gets posted as dropped, and the #3 goes anonymously. For those that get their #2, their #3 gets posted and their #1 goes anonymously. That should provide variety and choices, as well as shit to talk about on day one, while also providing enough WIFOM defenses even a Sicilian kidnapper could want.
By "goes anonymously" I thought you meant that it would be silently discarded with no info in the thread. I now worry that this game will be broken once everybody claims their anonymous discards.
If I'm the only one who misunderstood you here, then game on...
Independently of the above, I also think it's a bad idea if we can tell that somebody got their third pick (no public discard). If you get your third pick, the second one should be publicly discarded.
If you know what I mean.

Yep, I also think it would be better if silent discards are not listed anywere. The whole purpose is lost if town mass claim them, thus forcing scum to do the same.

If the consensus is that the second discard was completely unlisted, I'm ok with that. I don't see how the anonymous discards would do anything however, given the nature of the selection process Claim a discarded doc as your anonymous card doesn't mean much if that could have been your #1, but you got your #2 instead. If Jabbz the scum discarded a 1sV or a VT, I don't see how that breaks the game. Jabbz the scum can freely admit to dropping that, with virtually no penalty.
As to the third pick, thats to avoid someone totally getting screwed based on the discard. Your choices are Godfather, Town Doc, and VT. You get VT, but have to show doc as your discard? That's kind of a sketchy position to put someone in when they are already getting the least of their choices.

This was meant as a signup, so if you need a replacement or a twelfth player, send me a PM.
FWIW I also thought the second discard would be unlisted.
I have to run.

Sorry novice, I missed you in the clutter. I have room for many more. I'll roll you some numbers and pm you shortly with your choices.
