When does the game start? It is almost 15-00 UTC, June 1st, and I ostensibly there is enough interest already.

My counterpart is exactly right. On the plus side, it will add to the chaos in this game. :)

If we set up someone neutral as an arbitrator, we can have that neutral individual randomly choose who is going to be included as each country. Or rather yet, who is going to be the dummy country, since the country choice will be random.

Each of the playing individuals will have the option to be the dummy country. Only the arbitrator will know who is the dummy country.

Each player, before the anonymity of the game is defeated, should make a vote trying the figure out who is which country. Including the dummy account. It would be interesting how many of us turned out to be correct!
Also, Does the forum contain all communications? Or can we individually send messages to each of the possibly players, trying to figure out who is who and who is the dummy country?
Forum will be all the communications! It's essentially a public press game, except that the peanut gallery can also send press. For voting on who is what country before the end, that can be done in-thread as well.

I had considered a dummy account, having an arbitrator and the like, but I think the way it's planned right now should be fine - the main thing is, I don't want to create extra work for the mod team right now :D

Hi! I don't know if this is too late, but I'm interested as well. For reference, I'm The Minister of Silly Walks, completely different than Minister of Silly Walks.
Oh wow, this'll be hard in remembering to differentiate the two of you haha. Are you two acquainted IRL?
Not at all, just both fans of Monty Python without a better idea for a username.

Do you want people dropping on and out on the game or on the thread? I don't get why you can't choose anonymously the seven real players and anyone posts in the game thread.
Game thread, and if I pick the players, then I can't really participate can I :D

4.Italy
5.Austria
6.Russia
7.Turkey
8.Dummy Account #1

Create the game as password protected and only give the password to the people you choose?
Ah, but that wouldn't quite work would it? Password protected limits the pool of players by quite a bit, and I was thinking this could be something that anyone could drop in and drop out of at any time, press-wise.

I guess, set the RR at 60-something, it should be okay...lol

I believe we have enough for this to start, so game thread and game will be out in two days! Keep an eye out if you want to enter orders, haha

Although, with further though, two day phases may be better - since it'd be the same as a day phase in mafia.

In addition, that way if someone NMRs the delay won't be quite as long.

Well, part of it is, if I set the RR too high, it means people can eliminate certain players from being in the game even if they do send press, from checking their profile.

But bumping it up to 60 is no issue.
Very good point! Just keep it low RR, but make sure you trust the players, that you allow to join, to submit orders.

I'd like to join!
