(Yes/No) - Probably minimal but I'm not ruling out cult-like mechanics given the horror theme, I'll say approximate level of bastard/extreme swing after design phase is done.

Ordinarily there aren't three signups happening simultaneously. I could either make someone wait to start, or just allow all three to happen at the same time with the understanding that some might take more time than usual to fill. Because I don't feel that having a limited number of signups allowed concurrently is something that makes sense for this queue this is what will happen. If this sort of traffic happens more frequently I will of course amend the queue rules to better serve the player and mod base.

GiF's game may begin singups
FakeGod's game may begin signups
Krazy's game may begin signups

    - No**

A fully invitational*** sequel to Camn's Revenge and Turn of Camn where we try to finally murderlate that filthy scum treestump Pine, or at least his minions. If you didn't get an invite, that doesn't mean we don't like you. It means that we had a very specific set of players in mind for this game and there were conflicts/limits to the amounts of specific types of players we wanted to include.

Be forewarned, Pine is a tricky tree and both reviewers said there was a lot of potential swing.

* Role PM's will be personalized, and as such minor aesthetic issues have not been finalized.
** Role distribution is entirely not random. Pine is drafting his team in a manner that we have mutually decided is fair, and then assigning the scum team's roles. I am assigning the town's roles, with the exception of Alisae's mason pair, which will be decided randomly from a list of players Alisae provides.
*** Please don't PM me asking for an invitation. We've spent 8 pages worth of PT just talking about who we'd like to fill this game with. If you would like to be considered as a potential replacement, that is fine, but it isn't a guarantee your name will be accepted.

Due to specific things in the nature of this game, role PMs will be delayed from the date of game start, meaning we will have a confirmation stage. I intend to leave the thread open during this time to encourage players to interact and maintain hype for the game.
