@DuranDuran @txjennah PE @jean15paul_PE @RBHeadge PE @Dothracki @MadamPirate PE @ChebyshevII PE @NikR_PE @blybrook PE @vhab49_PE @ChaosMuppetPE @Roarbark @chart94 @squaretaper LIT AF PE and @SaltySteve slowly pass by the gate attendant, scanning their boarding passes and passports being checked. They stand in the jetbridge, the humidity creeping in. Slowly, they start moving onto the plane, flight attendants greeting them with creepy face coverings that have smiles painted on, and they settle into their seats after struggling to fit their carryons in the overrhead bins. (WHEELS FIRST, SILLYPANTS, they hear from an impatient @JayKay PE behind them). The AC finally starts blowing and they are served champagne and crackers with goat cheese, as an announcement begins to play:

There are townsfolk (townies), and Mafia members. Townsfolk are going to try to eliminate the Mafia with extreme prejudice before the Mafia eliminates them. The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins). The game ends when either all of the Mafia is eliminated (town wins), or there are fewer townsfolk than Mafia members (Mafia wins).

The Mafia members are going to privately tell me who they would like to eliminate during the night. I will reveal to everyone what happened the next morning. Night eliminated players will not have their role revealed.

In addition to regular townsfolk and members of the Mafia, there is a Doctor, and a Cop. The Doctor can choose someone to “save” during the night; if they choose the same person the Mafia chose, then that player will escape being eliminated that night.  The Cop can “investigate” players during the day. The Doctor and Cop are on the same side as the town.

During the day, everybody (Townsfolk and Mafia) will publicly vote for a person to sacrifice; I will eliminate the person with the most votes at the end of the day and reveal what their role was.

The Mafia members know who each other are, but no one knows anyone else’s role except me. I have sent more specific instructions to the members of the Mafia, the Doctor, and the Cop. If you did not receive a PM from me, then you are a regular townsfolk.

You may use this thread to vote and post about the game. Anyone (playing or not playing, eliminated or not) can use this thread to speculate, discuss, accuse, or otherwise participate in the game; just please make sure to follow regular EB forum guidelines.

PMs may only be utilized by the Mafia to speak to each other, and the Doctor and Cop to speak with the mod. No other PM usage is allowed during this round.

To vote on a person to eliminate, mention me ( @tj_PE )  in a post on this thread and tell me specifically that 1) you are voting and 2) the username of the person you are voting to eliminate. Please submit your votes before 9:00 pm Eastern Time each day; I will count votes after that time as being for the next day. **Due to commute schedule, I will be unreliable to post right at vote cutoff, so please be aware anything up until 8:59EST timestamp will be counted; anything 9:00 or later will be for the next day.

Your vote only counts if you are playing and not yet eliminated. If there is a tie for most votes, I will pick one of the voted users at random; or have a best 2/3 rock paper scissors match. If there are no votes, I will pick a person at random (i.e. role will not matter) to eliminate; suffice it to say it’s in both groups’ best interest to vote for at least one person.

The first vote will take place tonight before touchdown, on Monday, August 3.

I did the road warrior thing for eight years. I get annoyed by people doing stupid things that waste time; loading and unloading the overhead compartment is a huge one!  Anyone trying to cram a Volkswagen in the overheads is mafia in my book!

I will confess though that I load my bag wheels-out. I have a travel garment bag that is designed at the top to flex with the fuselage, and has a handle at the bottom for easy egress when deplaning. I've got travelling down to a science.

it's just really mostly annoying when the people just keep pushing on it like it's going to shrink the bag 6inches to fit in the bin and then end up taking space for 2 regulation size carryons with their floppin around big ass suitcase

 
I've got the carry-on down since I've traveled so much for work. Flying internationally had reduced the size slightly but makes flying domestic easier since it's guaranteed to fit. 

If you really want to see how to board and deplane, fly to Japan. Talk about an efficient deplaning process.
