I think if people aren't able to keep it up, you can remove it mid-game. If you see that it works well then keep it.

There might be time differences problems so I guess if the person has thus:
"---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------"
in there post, it can count as two?
Also Furore, people need a small motivation to try to vote/post instead of just the thread...how about modblock (roleblocking by you) on their first strike?
Also, if the person PMs you ahead of time that they will be always, maybe they can be excused and not penalized...so hosts do that, and I think it's fair.

Added Screwby, I must've mistaken him for Scruffy earlier. XD
I actually like that idea as it gives people leeway if their circumstances require it.
I'd still like some input from other players to see if they like the idea or have any problems they can think of with it though.
I'd hate the game to die because people can't make the required participation and would equally dislike a ton of spam just for the sake of posting which I can foresee being a possibility - multiple pages to wade through was a complaint a few people had with the last game.
EDIT: Perhaps instead of penalising inactive players I could look into incorporating a reward for active participation, I'd have to look into how it would effect play balance though.

for reference my work right now is doing a fantastic job of draining my willpower
I can certainly manage a post in the mornings and I will commit to making one up in the night if I fail to do so but 2 posts a day is not gonna happen unless people are unusually active in the (eastern time) morning
Since this will be my first game in Australian time, I might be able to keep up with it and post more frequently as long as everyone is participating.
I don't think many people will be able to post twice a day and like you said it might just lead to spam.

Well, thanks to my messed up, mostly nocturnal life, it seems phases will begin and end at 4pm in that US time I converted to (Eastern). 6am my time. XD

I'd like us try a 2 post per day requirement, but I think whether a person votes or not should still determine inactive kills (not the 2 posts). If someone says they can't make 2 posts they should be excused, with only positive reinforcement of this rule and not negative since we're testing it out. If you don't think it upsets balance of power in your game, one way to do this could be to try Kaitou's item search idea and only allow those who've made 2 posts eligible to participate.

Yeah, I think that an idea worthy of implementing.
Game will start in approx 1 week, 5 hours and 20 minutes from this post.
I figure that will make it easier for people to figure their time out locally. XD

We started yet?
wait wut? the game starts a week from today?
this has gotta be the Wolf game for which I had to wait the longest...=x
A week away?
I'm probably going to drop out, then. Maybe not, but I probably will.
Seriously, a week?
The sign ups already been open for almost 2 weeks....sign up is usually only 1 week. So all in all, we're waiting almost a month to play?

@MaruDashi is just anxious to host her game. xD
But she's absolutely right. o.o
Fine, I'll get cracking later today after work and a little sleep.
Still have a few PMs to write in advance and that activity rewarding system to implement. Half a week suit people better? Might be under half a week. I could likely be ready in 2-3 days if that suits everyone. I'll just make that system up, run it by a mate of mine who tests games for a living, implement balance changes based on his recommendations and hopefully that will be almost as good as practical testing.
I'll make a few extra roles in case we get some last minute signups, but there should be enough players for an interesting game already.
Perhaps this sign-up has been a little long, but I've been taking suggestions and hopefully that little extra time spent implementing them will result in a more entertaining game.
EDIT: We can start 6am Friday Australian Eastern Standard Time (4pm Thursday US/Eastern time). I've sent my incentives system to my mate and had a bit of a chat with him over MSN, he said he'll go through any recommendations tomorrow and after getting his feedback I'll use a randomiser to assign roles to people (as to be completely random) and send out the PMs (which I finished, but one or two may require little adjustments). The posting incentives system will be edited into the initial post tomorrow after I get that feedback.

PMs have been sent, remember to reread the initial post.
Please let me know if you do not get a PM, some people don't have a PM I sent due to a full inbox, so please check that.

*gasp* it starts today!!!???
I'll be at work all day...just how am I supposed to spam the thread? D:
Nah, tomorrow, unless I stuffed up.
Didn't want to make it right away as figured some might not out in every day.
Oh and because even this is short notice, missing first day phase won't count towards the three strikes.
People seemed to want to start the game quicker so I figured I'd oblige. Unfortunately the rewards system will depend on how people play. If chance goes a certain way it won't be a long game.

I use US Eastern time, and it is currently Thursday 12:34 PM, so that's like 4 hours from now...
---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------
Seeing that no one is going to start, I guess I shall.
If I'm indeed a day too early, then we'll just end up having a really long Day phase.
Alright, Canis lupus, show your lupine tushes!
