    Yeah, with the post count limit and longer days there won't be as much 'Now, now, now' pressure on it. Also uber vanilla so nothing incredibly complicated to wrap your head around.

    I’ll give it a go.

    What’s the user interface like on the other site for phone users?

    Not sure if we answered this.

    I'll put it this way, if you can use COP on your phone then you'll be grand. ;)

    Just as an FYI we are likely going to run with a closed night system for the game, trialled on an honour system initially.

    What will probably happen is that the lynch form will close at 9pm, and players will have a 'twilight' type of scenario to continue discussion until 10pm when the results are posted. (Also takes pressure off us as mods to be exact with the posting of the results)

    After that the mods will be asking the players not to post until the following morning after the munch announcement.
    Going to try to avoid closing the thread so people are able to prepare posts if they so wish, so your assistance in this endeavour would be muchly appreciated.

    Game will begin on Friday, 3rd May with a very soft opening until the first munch on Tuesday, 7th May.

    Day phases will then run for 35 hrs - so the first lynch would be at 9pm on Wednesday the 8th May.

    Lynch results announced at 10pm, no posting till post 10am on Thursday the 9th May.

    Rinse and repeat phases until game ends essentially. It'll be low commitment so you don't have to spend all day on the thread every day.

    Just to clarify a lot of what sully posted previously essentially.

    Okay. Some more details.

    It will have a very soft launch. It will launch on the Friday of the May bank holiday weekend, and the first munch will be the Tuesday morning.

    Day phases will be 36 hours. Night phases will be 12 hours.

    The thread will be closed during the night phase.

    The theme (for pure flavour as much as anything) is silence of the lambs.

    It will be non-anon.

    There will be a maximum post count per poster per phase, so it will really be a low committment kinda game.

    More info as we get it.
