When this started, I was thinking "God, the days are so long."

Now that we're actually going with the contacts and everything, I feel like "God, the days are so short!"

The out of thread communication has me really worried. This game is going to be super susceptible to ringleading, with enough contacts I would be concerned about a D3 or D4 solve from someone well-connected. I'm leaning towards Pecota for today because of that reason.

It all looks very clandestine but I think it's just cliquey. What little interaction I've had was oriented around information exchange and had nothing to do with votes.

Right, but because of the way out-of-thread communication works in this game, the people you're partnered with PM-wise early on are going to be your natural coalition partners throughout the game.

Which puts you and Rarity on a team with this mysterious third person, and PoP, Winvirus, and Byers on another team. Clearly, both of those are possibly larger than that, but I hope not, because otherwise I'm hosed. Or maybe I hope so, because then I get to be kingmaker? Who knows. Or maybe the third is a connection between those two groups...

While everyone's scrambling in the PMs to set things up, let's not let the thread die. Somber/Rarity, who's the mysterious third party you're talking through right now? Doesn't seem like it's that horrible to share who talks to whom, especially since it lets us track possible word sharing and find out who's likely close to getting all the words.

I don't want to say until I've talked it over with Somb and the other guy. I think it should be a group decision to reveal that. Plus, if I was close to getting all the words I wouldn't exactly announce it to everyone else, would I?

Byers and Winvirus are the two.

I'm just saying, merk is joining with them, and once I'm gone, they're probably going to go after you and Rarity next. You may want to protect yourselves in case of a tie by voting early.

Thanks for the helpful reminder!

Also, what's with the two spaces after each sentence? I can handle "GROPING" but who does that?
