[Stopwatch]

Go ahead and sign me up, at least tentatively.

Are there any particular dates that you would rather avoid? Setting the date for prep phase so.

[Giogio]

I'll be on travel (back to Germany) and likely off the internet ~ from the 15th to the 16th. I don't mind if you start without me, but don't throw me out for inactivity please :V

[Stopwatch]

Good luck with that, Conia ^^.

Notice
Setting this to begin on Friday the 17th for now. If anyone has any problems with this either PM me or say in the thread. Phase changes will be at 10PM GMT (and countdown to game start is here). To check how this relates to your timezone just check here.

Since this is my first round of FM, I'd like to ask a couple questions before Prep Phase starts. Now, I've read the rules, but as I understand those haven't been modified to reflect all the changes...

- Travel has been returned to the game.
- Hakuba has been returned to the game.

Okay, how does that work exactly?
If you're in Japan you can either vote/interrogate or travel, not both. But if you're outside Japan, is traveling back the only thing you can do? Or can you vote/interrogate in the phase? Can actions be done to you in the phase you're travelling back?
Also, when your action fails will it be revealed to you whether it's due to travelling or tricking? Or will you just be told it's one of the two?

- Gin's actions have been changed.

Have those changes been implemented in the first couple posts? And if not, are they going to?

- A Serial Killer has been brought (back) in.

How the Serial Killer works I couldn't find any reference to in the rules...

[Raiden]

Hakuba, Foreign Meitantei
Prep and Night/Day action: Travel
Night action: Interrogate (cannot use while not in Japan)
Interrogation: Not BO
Scent: No
Disguise: No
Items: School book
Observe: Teenager
Note: Begins game outside Japan. Can opt to Travel OR Interrogate during the night. During the day, can either Travel OR Vote.

- Protect will be remaining as it was in PT's round. As in, instead of finding out the killer and being permanently injured, they will NOT find out the killer and will be temporarily injured for 2 phases. Interrogations and slander are also staying out of the game.

I was going over the rules again and noticed that Hakuba had not gotten another action to replace Interogate. Since it's already mentioned that Interrogate is out of the game, what Night Action does he have now?

Sorry. I mustn't have checked over carefully enough with the editing ^^;. He has investigate 3. I'm just going to change that, add in the SK into the written rules and then double check the roles. Not long until prep now ^^ (okay, so four hours is kind of long, but c'mon).

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see your post there, googleearth. I'll reply in a bit; just setting up the PMs and everything ^^.

@Raiden: Fixed. Still leaving in the "interrogate: BO/non-BO" though considering it'll likely be brought back in in the future and I'm not that cruel :x.

Travelling back or remaining outside of Japan is the only thing you can do while outside. Actions can't be done to you while travelling.

Also, when your action fails will it be revealed to you whether it's due to travelling or tricking? Or will you just be told it's one of the two?

You will be told "your action/s has/ve failed", but not the reason why. Though, context can often help you figure it out. As in, if someone does actions on multiple people, but only their actions on one particular person fail, it's more likely to be travelling.

Apologies. I hadn't yet updated the Serial Killer. The "other" tab should give the information you need. Gin's actions are correct. Once the game starts I would recommend you PM me with questions though ^^.
