Sounds good then, so what say you... post in both threads at least once per cycle? Or just voting thread?

Wow, 33 people. I'll leave sign-ups open until Saturday, Apr 17 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) (testing the new time/date thing, so it's equivalent to Friday, April 16th at 10:00 p.m. EDT) tonight for any last people who haven't gotten access yet to come and post. After that, I'll be sending out roles sometime tomorrow, and the game will start on Sunday, Apr 18 2:00am GMT (GMT+00:00).For those of you that don't live in EDT, can you tell me if the time/date shows up in your local time? I want to make perfectly sure so nobody gets confused by the date/time. Edit: Also, be sure to glance here after signups are done, since then balancing will be done and mafia numbers will be posted. I'm really looking forward to this. I've played mafia before but only in person, never on a forum, and never with quite so many roles. I've been checking out the Mafia XX thread just to get an idea of how it all plays out. Should be fun! Quick question about the roleblocker. Does role blocking mean that the person targeted loses their ability for the night? Also, can you elaborate on which roles are or are not allowed to PM. I'd also recommend looking at this thread so you can get a feel for basic strategy. Roleblocking does mean that the targeted player loses their ability for the night. So it doesn't do anything for greens, but it disables blue/assassin abilities. I believe that the only roles who will be allowed to PM are the mafia, and then only to each other. I find it highly unlikely that any other role will have that ability.
Generally, the only roles that can PM are mafia. However, the way I've phrased it in the OP leaves a bit of doubt, no? It's standard procedure in these types of semi-closed mafia games that I know, such as if there is a mason ring and there are mafia in there, the mod may say "there is a good chance that not all members of the masons are town-aligned" as opposed to "there is mafia in the ring" since one is more ambiguous, and I like being that kind of person.
Needless to say though, roles that may PM will be told so in the opening role PM. Questions can be directed at me if anybody's confused.

Definitely both. That way people can't 100% hide/lurk by only voting.

No because that means that someone was being inactive. We want funny situations, not inactive players. Entertaining day posts are encouraged as well. (I totally second L's sentiment.)

Yeah it just means I have to make sure the game I host is even more awesome as a way of commemorating that post a bit late.

Didn't see anything in the rules against this, so...
I am announcing my candidacy as Mayor for this game.
After taking a passive role in several of my past games, it is time for me to step up back into the spotlight, not as possible inactive lurking scum, but this time as a full-fledged inactive lurking town officer, with all of the power and glory that entails. Some of my opponents may bring up my past record, namely calling attention to my first game of mafia ever. Rest assured, dear fellows, that I will never repeat the same mistake - I will NEVER attempt to actually lead the town whilst in office. Furthermore, I will resolve to bring my posts down to the absolute minimum, so that the town can be assured that I am performing my real duties as a politician: embezzling taxes and hiring strippers. Furthermore, the sudden disappearance of our town's Hooker population has left many a john in need, with nowhere else to turn but violence.
Our town's continual war with mafia families has cost us tens, if not hundreds of lives over the past several years, and yet peace has yet to be brokered. Why should we continue to fight if all it creates is unnecessary bloodshed? My friends, I will say nay to this senseless war and return back to the real issues, and if you will join me in my crusade, I will strive to put a Hooker on every corner of Liquidia!
Elect d3_crescentia, for a prostitute for every Townie!!

Ummm 2 problems with this post:
1. There is no mayor.
2. We haven't allowed people to run for mayor before roles have gone out since mafia VII. It gives your campaign too much credibility.
