Hey, I'm old and 90210 was prime TV for much of my late teens/early 20s.

Honestly, I'm mostly just romanticizing the first 2-3 years of the show which is when I really watched at the end of high school and for a year or so beyond.

That would make you about the same age as me. Let us wallow in our old age together.

Hooray! Everyone (except ljtrigirl) should have their role PMs; check your inboxes. Thank you for being patient with me!

For reference, all the role PMs look something like this:

A Sample Role PM posted:

LITERALLY MAD IRL - Pierre Hu�tre - Fisher (town-aligned vanilla)
Life in this town is fairly predictable - the sun rises, and the sun sets. The tides go in and out and back again, and carry with them fish and oysters and clams and crabs and lobsters and squid and eels and octopi and seaweed and mussels and sometimes even sharks. The catches are always good, and the dinner is always some variation of fish stew, and everyone sleeps at night in peace, ready for another day that's just like every other day. You quite like the routine, though you sometimes wonder what the rest of the world must be like. So when your friend Pierre discovered a massive pearl, you knew he would finally have enough money to leave this place and never look back, and you wished him the best even if you were touched by jealousy. Unfortunately, Pierre would never leave the island in one piece - this morning he was murdered in his sleep. Now you need to use every resource at your disposal to bring the murderers to justice.
You are a townie! You seek to stop the violence and murder in the village over the pearl, and as such, win when all scum players are eliminated. You have the normal town powers of posting and voting in the thread.
You have no additional powers or abilities.
You are vanilla and you are town-aligned.

Character names are generated randomly using various easy-to-find internet programs, as well as random Wikipedia articles and my own creativity.

Flips will look like this:

:s:

Player Name, Character Name, Flavor Title (alignment-aligned role), died in a flavor-specific way.

Example:

LITERALLY MAD IRL, Pierre Hu�tre, Fisher (town-aligned vanilla), was stabbed to death night 0. :s:

The game should be beginning shortly!

You don't?

I guess you could email me at username@gmail, but if you're scum/mason/etc. you're going to need to be able to communicate OOT with players, and submit me actions if you have a role.

Just make a dummy email if you're that concerned with privacy.

I'd ask first, but I'd bet Ecco would just have you post it in the thread and then allow you to edit it.

Either that or just sign up for gmail with some dumb account. I've got like 5 stupid gmail names.

Also, I'm confirming I finally got a role PM.

Put it in spoiler tags. Apparently outsiders can't see it? I dunno what the deal is with that.

I guess I didn't realize how stuff worked on this site.

I'll probably edit and remove it from this post once I get an email from you. I'm fine with people using it for the game, but I don't like it being posted on the internet forever.

The town awoke to find Pierre had been killed during the night! He was a young man with big dreams, dreams of some day owning a whole crew of divers and fishermen to match his enthusiasm for the sea. With no family to speak of, under Mereaux law, whoever held the Pearl first would be its new owner. But... who would it be?

LITERALLY MAD IRL, Pierre Hu�tre, Fisher (town-aligned vanilla), was stabbed to death night 0. :s:

It is now Day 1!

:h:

With 21 alive it takes 11 votes to be executed.
:d:

Day 1 deadline: Friday, August 21st, ~11PM EDT. That's in about like four days or something, idk. I can extend it though to Sunday if it looks like you all need it.

DAY 1 CHALLENGE :siren:

Sitting in the center of the town is Pierre's pearl. It is even more lustrous in the sunlight, and slight imperfections in the nacre make it even more beautiful. It is worth a kingly sum, a fortune bigger than anyone in the town could imagine. And yet, it brought Pierre to his death. Could it be that the pearl itself is... cursed? You do not know. But, do you want to take the chance?

Type ##grab Pearl to grab pearl. First to grab pearl has pearl. Good to have pearl, but also bad?

:iiam:
