Playing the Game:
Game Mechanic
Instead of the usual good power roles in this game, I will rand() the Companions, who will then choose the players to fill those roles, excluding the Angel role, which will be part of the original rand().
The roles will be filled at a rate of one per night, beginning the night before the game.
Companions are not lynchable or night killable, and may not post in the game thread. Once they choose their Herald, they will die if their Herald does, until that time they are immune from death.
Those players selected to be Companions will be public information. However, the individual roles of the Companions will not be public information.
Beginning the Game
Role PMs will go out some time between 11 pm Eastern on Saturday night and 11 am Eastern on Sunday morning. Companions and evil roles may contact each other immediately.
The Companion
Rolan needs to send me the name of the player that he chooses to be Queen’s Own by 10 pm Eastern on Sunday night. This will be the only night zero action in the game. I will advise Talia of her role before the thread opens.
Thread will open no later than midnight Eastern on Sunday, and will likely open early.
Daily Timetable
Game days will run from 1 am until 8 pm Eastern. There are voting powers in play in this game, so
majority lynch is not in effect. Lynch will be promptly at 8 pm.
Night actions are due by midnight, and may be submitted early.
Saturday and Sunday will act as one game day, which means that night will fall with the 8 pm Friday night lynch and the thread will be open at 1 am Saturday morning and close at 8 pm Sunday.
I will attempt to open the thread as consistently as possible by no later than 1 am, although it may be earlier. That said, the time the thread opens is approximate and may be slightly different from day to day.
The time the thread closes is fixed. If I will be away at the end of the day I will attempt to find someone to close the thread, but in the event that I don’t, everyone is responsible to stop posting. Votes timestamped
8:00 or earlier will be tallied, and posts timestamped up to
8:01 will be considered acceptable. Posts timestamped after 8:01 will be warned and repeated instances of nightposting by the same player may lead to penalties.
Game Actions
There are many game actions in this game, quite a few players that may take multiple actions in a day, and not all of them will take place at night. It would help me a lot if players PMing their actions to me (especially the Companions, whose communication standards are all different and have to be approved by me) would put their role name in the Title of their PM.

Re: Tantris
Actions may be submitted early, and players in a masonry like evils or Companions may delegate those actions to their team. However, in the event that I receive night actions from both a player AND that player’s team, I will take the action by the player with that role unless they specifically request that their team decision supersede their choice.
