Just as a reminder - this is your last day to fill out placeholders. As long as everyone who has signed up has filled out a bio, we are moving forward with this game - it may be short, but it's a test game anyway. Of course that doesn't mean you can't sign up at the last possible minute either :).
Roles will be handed out tomorrow morning via PM. In this, as in all games, it is essential that you not share your role PM with anyone. We'll ease into the first day - it'll be a time for players to merrily RP and begin scheming while the mafia writes their first kill (poor Vinnie is not long for this world, I fear). Hopefully we'll also be able to answer any lingering questions.
If we do have stragglers who still haven't finished their bio by tomorrow morning, I think we'll give folks a few more days, but that's to be decided. Ideally everyone will be ready to go tomorrow.

Welcome to LARPers's Island Mafia! We look forward to interacting with your LARPer characters on a remote island, where no one will hear you scream and hopefully you will all (save a lucky few) be put to death in as ghastly a way as possible. We are attempting a role-play version of the game we've played for years on TAC, so we encourage you to read the FAQ that explains the new rules and the tentative schedule.
We would like to remind everyone that this is the first time this sort of game has been tried on TAC - consider this a beta test of how games like this might go. We might tweak mid stream, but we will do our best to keep the players in the loop on what's happening - here is where you can expect to read posts about schedule changes and things of that nature.
Roles will be selected completely randomly. We wanted to make that clear up front, especially since this game is happening so soon after the last one.
Our mods for this game are those two deadly V's, Verileah and Vulash. All SKIDS should be sent to BOTH hosts. We have attempted to build a world fit for lots of fun role playing, less mod interference, and more player interaction, and look forward to facilitating a great game.
Feel free to ask your questions here.

M'kay we're still waiting on a couple of people. As we were working with a pretty narrow margin for error even with everyone filling in their bios, I think we're going to give this until Sunday. As in, bios should get finished up on Saturday (and even now, new people can sign up), we'll do roles on Sunday. Sorry for the delay - we imagined this would be a small game but there's small and there's unworkable :X. Thanks for your patience everyone.
So, in short. No roles today. Srry!

Ok guys. I think we have enough to give this a shot. I'll send out roles soon and explain timing of how this will work. We'll have a little extra time in the beginning so people can get started roleplaying, and we can get in the swing of things after the delayed start.

Since the start time has changed a little, I think it would be a great idea to send an email to the players saying that the game has started.

Are there other people on the island? From reading the scenario, it sounded like the island was deserted. Are there no other guests at the hotel? How about staff? Surely, there must be at least one bartender, waiter, chef, bellhop, maid, etc?

There are no guests besides the LARPers. So far you've only seen Victoria, and the elderly gentlemen from the meet and greet. It would appear that the hotel is being run by a skeleton crew, and they are mostly staying out of the way. The bars that you've seen appear to be self serve with a wide variety of alcohol, but not quite top shelf liquor. You've seen on bar on the first floor of the hotel, and the mini-bar by the pool. Breakfast is laid out buffet style when you go downstairs in the morning, and the food is of high quality. Otherwise, we're leaving a lot to the imagination for you guys to run with.

Schedule update:
Voting for round 2 will close on THURSDAY at 9 PM EST. Lynch scene will follow asap.
SKIDS will be due after voting closes. The MAFIA should inform the mods if they cannot have a scene ready for the next morning by 11 PM EST.
The ROUND 3 MAFIA HIT will be posted at 9 AM EST on FRIDAY
The ROUND 3 VOTE will close 9 PM EST on SATURDAY
We'll try that for a few rounds and see if that's any better. By all means, we don't mind hearing if people are ready to tighten up the schedule again, though.
