I AM UATU, THE WATCHER.
FOR MILLENNIA HAVE I WATCHED OVER THIS UNIVERSE AND THOSE BEYOND. I DO NOT INTERFERE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE MORTALS; LIKE ALL OF MY RACE, I MERELY OBSERVE AND RECORD.
THERE IS A DESERTED PLANET SEVERAL HUNDRED LIGHT YEARS FROM THE ONE CALLED EARTH, A PLANET ONCE POPULATED BY THE BEINGS KNOWN AS THE SKRULLS. ON THAT PLANET, AT THIS MOMENT, A SMALL GROUP OF POWERFUL BEINGS STIR FROM AN UNNATURAL SLEEP. THEY HAVE BEEN DRAWN HERE BY ALIEN DEVICES, TRAPS, EACH BEARING THE SYMBOL OF THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE MENTIONED IN EARTH'S BIBLE. ALTHOUGH MANY OF THEM ARE OLD COMPANIONS, IN THIS STRANGEST OF PLACES THEY FIND THEMSELVES UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE ONE ANOTHER.
SOME AMONG THEM WOULD DESTROY THE OTHERS, HAD THEY THE POWER. BUT NOW, IN THE DIM LIGHT OF AN UNFAMILIAR RISING SUN, THEY ALL STIR AS ONE, AND - UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYES OF UATU - THEY BEGIN TO SPEAK.
----------------------
Night Zero has begun. You may discuss the game at will. No voting is permitted until the Dawn of Day One. The game's rules will be presented to you presently, by Kat; until then, our usual customs apply. Anyone with off-board privileges may employ them at this time as well.
Day One will begin in approximately 36 hours, or when everyone has confirmed receipt of their role PM, whichever comes last

Oh, and no powers of any kind will be used on Night Zero. Consider this a warm up period, before a Day start to the game.

So...
This game's theme seems pretty sweet so far. I can't say I recognize it, but I'm told by Wikipedia that it's something to do with comic books.

I'm trying (very hard) not to let the casting choice of David Hasselhoff and what looks to be a horrid made-for-TV adaptation influence my perspective on the comic franchise that I have yet to explore. Obligatory Hoffster clips.

Am I the only one who is totally squicked out by these two sentences? And also wonders in what way UATU is pleased? And further wonders if that pleasure is self induced by UATU or is indeed a mutual pleasure he/she shares with "THE HOFF" sinjin; off to cleanse her brain of UTAU/HOFF pleasure visions.

I'm confused. Does "You may discuss the game at will" mean Rule 1 is relaxed for the duration of Night Zero?

Coolio. White Castles are in our future.
Vote anyone who has an Esq. extension
And to the Mods thanks for the inclusion and effort to set this up.
Suck up, suck up, suck up. Under no circumstance let your disdain become public.

I'm actually surprised no one has yet. And for those who don't get it, well, you haven't been paying attention to the whole forum now, have you?)

UATU OBSERVES THAT THE S.H.I.E.L.D. OBSERVATION DECK IS CURRENTLY OPEN TO PLAYERS OF THE GAME. THE OBSERVATION DECK INCLUDES ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS OF THE GAME, INCLUDING A LIST OF PLAYERS AND A SAMPLE PRO-TOWN ROLE PM TO WARD OFF PERNICIOUS ATTEMPTS AT META-GAMING.
THE OBSERVATION DECK MAY CLOSE AT AN UNSPECIFIED FUTURE DATE; IF THIS OCCURS, ALL RELEVANT ADMINISTRATIVE MATERIALS WILL BE MOVED INTO THE SKRULL PLANET AREA.

Since we are allowed to strategize and no night actions will be happening on Night 0...anyone have any suggestions for approaches?
The only thing that comes immediately to my mind is that, given the title of the game (Skrulls! OMG!) we should not be evaluating people based solely on their alignment/character in the Marvel universe, since Skrulls can (and in the past HAVE to great effect) shapeshift and mimic the powers of known heroes, and both hero and villains have teamed up in the past to fight them since that's what happens when alien power-mimicing shapeshifters try to take over your planet.
