This is Night 1, and 23 hours remain (due to my scheduling SNAFU).
I don't think it'll be an issue, but if anyone needs that extra hour that got cut off for the first night actions, PM me about it and I can give you extra time tomorrow. Hopefully, that shouldn't be necessary.
It's best not to speak during the night. I well say I'm pretty sure that the town loses when the wolfs are equal to the number of villagers; not when the wolfs control the vote. As Jowy said this is a very town-heavy setup and not doing this is too much against the wolfs.
You suck brick for not posting the village PM. This may have been okay if you didn't expand in the PM but you did. I won't exploit your mistake but I will mock you.

I didn't see brick add in the post. The PM's tell something very interesting. The wolfs win when they control the vote not when they are even!!! This is quite bad for them... It's always possible to have an even number due to mod kills so this is not pointless issue.
I don't think there's a strong game theoretical reason to be quiet. If people want to do that, I will count it as lurking.
It's a 2001 reference.
I don't mind if Brick wants to change it to even numbers equal mafia wins. Otherwise it becomes particularly silly due to the tie breaking rule. Mafia would just rush to vote for someone and win the tie.

It's very anti-town for you to suggest a rules change that would favor the wolfs. You just seem a bit to eager to shoot yourself in the foot if were village.
I agree that's a bit silly. People would just spam the thread at deadline with votes. The wolf would vote for the person who won't die. The villagers would just vote for both of the other players at once. The vote for the dead person would not count because he would be an invalid target.
