I would like to thank Ulla for the great game (again)! It was tons of fun. The Dirx incident on the third day one was unfotunate, but I hope everyone won't hold it against him.

In the game there will be personal wincons. Some of them might look like this:
Wincon: You will win the game when you have voted for a "flat tire lady" 3 times on different Days. You don't have to end the Day with a vote on a "flat tire lady".
or
Wincon: For you to win all you have to do is reveal who has the role of Debbie Kleyser and her fiance Fred
or
Wincon: You win when you have learned 4 role-names of 4 players still in the game
or
Wincon: You win the game when you have bread crumbed "Ullz is fun, fun, fun" in the game. You can choose all kinds of ways to bread crumb this. But you have to PM the mods with the solution so we don't miss it.
or
Wincon: You need to be lynched 3 times to win the game.

Day 1 The clock switches from 5:59 to 6:00 and the room is filled with song: Okay, campers, rise and shine.Don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today.You open you eyes and as you get up you realize that is it very cold out of bed. It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?Not hardly. You can expect hazardous travel later with that blizzard thing.You head for the bathroom and turn on the water. "That blizzard thing"? Here's the report.As you wash your face the fake happy and cheerful voices in the radio is starting to annoy you. You don't want to be here in a "nice B&B in Cherry Road". You just want this day to be over so you can go back to Pittsburgh. The National Weather Service is calling for a big blizzard thing. They are. But there's another reason why today is especially exciting.Especially cold.The big question on everybody's lips- On their chapped lips.Do you think Phil will come out and see his shadow?You pick up a towel and dry your face. The hosts on the radio keep chit chatting away and it's annoying you more and more. What is it with these people and their stupid ideas of fun and festivity. It's just a silly little rodent popping it's head out of a wooden box. What is the big deal anyway?? - Punxsutawney Phil. - That's right, woodchuck chuckers.It's Groundhog Day! - Get up and check that hog! - Come here, groundhog!You throw a quick look out into the street seeing an old car driving towards the town square and some people already moving in the same direction. Yeah, the whole town will be there to day... Every year it's the same old schtick. A guy with the big stick raps on the door. They pull the little rat out. They talk to him. The rat "talks" back and then they tell everyone what's gonna happen. Gosh, you can't wait for this day to be over!!! Day 1 (first time) will last until Tuesday, 8 February 2011, 13:00:00 (Esbjerg time)

That's just cold, sinjin.
vote: Sinjin[/color]
(No insult intended, just being silly with the comment. Not the vote, though, that's as serious as any vote.)
What's the purpose of lynches in this game, anyway?

What's the purpose of lynches in this game, anyway? Yeah, based on my PM, the sample wincons and what I've understood in the rules, it's a competition to see how many of us can reach our wincon before the 7th day, right? There's no Town or scum or factions, as far as I can tell anyway, just a busload of folk with stuff to do/suffer/enjoy. Lynching doesn't do anything except further some people's wincon (by voting for specific players, by being voted by specific players, or by being lynched, for example). I imagine there's no hope of cooperation - it would either break the game, be absolutely no fun, or would open opportunities for a few to abuse it and reach their wincons immediately. I've no problem claiming vanilla, I have no powers and I wonder if we're all powerless or if there'll be Night actions (probably not as there's no Night) or investigative powers (some of the sample wincons would lead me to think that there could other ways to discover a player's identity apart from the reveal). I'm curious about the multiple lynch. It may even be in our interest to ensure that everyone has 1 vote at some stage if it means a greater number of us get closer to our wincon...

Confirming receipt of PM. Last game I truthfully claimed Town and was disbelieved. Should I try claiming scum this time? (PS. I'm having terrible Internet troubles, so will try to vote early and often.)

Vote Sinjin
In the absence of further evidence (though Bufftabby's post above makes a good point), I could see someone's wincon being to vote first for X days in a row.

So...your wincon is to make sure everyone gets a vote, eh? Maybe. However I was referring to the tie-break rule: every tied player is lynched... @ archangel, if sinjin needs to be the first to vote X Days, how will your vote on her stop her from reaching her wincon? Maybe your wincon is to be the 2nd vote...

I'm going to go out o a limb here and guess that it's either impossible or extremely difficult to have everyone win by Day 7. Otherwise, what's the risk in everyone sharing all the info they know and cooperating?

I can't do anything to interfere with her voting toDay but tomorrow I'm going to try very hard to be the first vote to interrupt that possibility. And...my wincon COULD be to be the 2nd vote but it's not.
