I would recommend increasing Day length to 3 weeks until there are like 12-ish players. Two weeks for 17 players seems a bit short. A good rule of thumb I've seen (and used) in the past is 1.5 RL days x the number of living players for day length.
If anyone has any objections to this speak now or pm me before the game starts. Otherwise I'll be implementing almost exactly this.

KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

Fair enough lol. I've played a couple games on DLP with Vaimes & co but you were on hiatus, I think?
Kind of. It was a several-years-long hiatus so I'm more of a novice than a retiree.
Example: Just played a short game wherein I was lynched immediately.

Hi. I was in a very bad place last time I played here... if everyone is okay with me joining, and my partner also wants to play, we may jump in together. Have to think it over more first, just wanted to check in and see if DV or anyone else would have a problem with it.
If anyone has any objections to this speak now or pm me before the game starts. Otherwise I'll be implementing almost exactly this.
ideally this game will last long enough to make it through at least two seasons.
I can do it!
I prefer Fall. It's usually cool, but not freezing.
you tom
My favorite season is *laughs in californian*
He better sign up.
California Seasons in recent years:
I'm actually trying to move away from walls now so hmmm...
Anyway, good to have you!
I look forward to your eventual scum read of me.
Kind of. It was a several-years-long hiatus so I'm more of a novice than a retiree.

Neat, I look forward to being immediately lynched D1 due to my general nature rubbing off people as ungodly scummy.
Apperently I'm not as scummy as I used to be though. We will see. I'm bad at big games.
Be...diplomatic. Ugh.
Seriously though, this'll be fun!
I'd understand if you or DV doesn't want it to happen but you're still welcome as far as we're concerned.
