I was really hoping for a townie role in this one, though I didn't think I'd be completely unavailable. Sorry guys!
On this point, I just want to comment a little. In the past, some players have messaged me that they would sign-up but they don't have much time to play and so would just like to be a townie. That's fine by me. I have no problem doing that. This isn't against you Mop it up but it has been frustrating in the past when roles have been handed out a player doesn't show up for 3 days and dies because of inactivity and they were given a role. If you'd like to play but know you can't be around for some days and don't want the responsibility of role, pm the host. We'll appreciate because it will make the game more enjoyable.
It's like how The Perm bowed out for this game because he was afraid of getting the Godfather role. Tell us and we'll make sure you don't get it. It's obviously better to give it to a player who will be around to fulfill the role. We don't mind.
In fact, I've done this in the past. I contacted people to sign up for a game and they said they were interested but wouldn't be able to be around every day. I said that was fine and would be given a plain old townie role then and they signed up because of it. So, don't be afraid to let the host know your schedule so that we can tweak things before the game is in progress.
I just wanted to post that so at least in future games, people don't have to fear signing up and there are less cases of people being upset when a person isn't around to help in their role.
