So essentially every deadline is going to be 11PM EDT / 8PM PDT, which translates to, what, 4AM in London and 5AM in Spain? So I apologize in advance that you won't be around for deadlines.

And yes, if you will be out of town this upcoming weekend for the American Labor Day holiday, feel free to post about it now, I am sympathetic and will probably make the Day 1 deadline preemptively floating.

I'm going to be on vacation next week so probably posting more in the evenings.

But hey, folks are going to say I'm lurking no matter what, so it's all irrelevant.

Role PMs are complete, I am sending them out now. Please do not spam the thread with posts like "RECEIVED MY PM!! CONFIRMED! I GOT IT! I GOT A ROLE!".

Instead spam the thread with the following sentence, with the first letter in each word capitalized:

I understand that if I do not unvote my vote will not be removed.

Hooray! Everyone 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:

The Standard Vanilla PM posted:

Max - Matilda Aevis - Laborer (town-aligned vanilla)
You never asked for much in life; a hot bowl of soup and some fresh bread, a roof over your head, and a soft bed to lay your head. What more does one need? And for the most part your job at the soap factory provides this and more, but it does so at the expense of your health. You have personally been affected by or seen your fellow coworkers burned by the lye, fall on the job, smash their fingers on the machinery, heck, one employee even lost an eye during a vat explosion. For a long time you just accepted it as how the world works, and though you wished it weren't so, you didn't imagine it could be different. Until Julie Więcek started working here. She convinced you that together, joined into a "union" of laborers, you were more powerful than management, and could force them to give in to your demands. You've been striking for a week, and while you were feeling demoralized, Julie's sudden murder has enraged you. Now you need to prove her dream a reality by working together, learning who to trust, and rooting out the finks in your ranks.
You are a townie. You seek to continue the strike until management gives in to your demands, and as such win when all who oppose the strike are removed from the game. You have the normal powers of posting and voting freely.
You have no other exceptional powers or abilities at this time.
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:

Max, Matilda Aevis, Laborer (town-aligned vanilla), fell into a vat of boiling oil night 0. :s:

The game should be beginning shortly!

With Julie's murder, the laborers were energized. They were chomping at the bit, ready to find her killers and bring them to justice. Showing management that they are powerful, together, will send a message: give us what we want, for we cannot be stopped.

But first you have to stop the scum. Good luck!

Dragnix, Julie Więcek, The Spark (town-aligned mason recruiter), was beaten to death night 0. :s:

It is now Day 1.

:h:

With 17 alive it takes 9 votes to be executed.

Day 1 deadline: Tuesday, September 7th, ~11PM EDT / ~8PM PDT / Wednesday ~4AM GMT, ~5AM CEST

Good luck!
