Alex - it will be 24 hr phases. once a day is enough to stay active but more often can be better so that you have opportunity to read and react to the input of others. Players who are inactive/silent will oftentimes get lynched early on in the game because they are perceived by the rest of the good guys as being no help in the investigation but by the same token they are rarely killed by the mafia since they are not much of a threat to exposing them. silence is actually a strategy used by some (not me - can i get an Amen to that) to stay under the radar until the right time.
  since we are in various time zones, info may be given by some that may be missed if you check in just once a day. i will try to make it so that the phases do not end between 10 pm and 6 am for anybody. i think most of us are in the American or European time zones. maybe Australia - let me know if other.
Alex , can i throw your name in the hat?

it looks like 21;00 on the risk clock (what is it called?) might be ok = that is 4 pm in Los Angeles, 1 pm in New York, 9 pm in London, and 8 am in Sydney.
Anybody have a better time for all?

yes it is about as plain/straightforward set up as there can be. the only twist is the picking and utilization of the abilities/super powers. i currently have 15 abilities for you to choose from which are under review by a couple of other players to make sure none of them are over powered. the abilities fall under 3 broad categories - offense, defense, and information or a combination.

-doesn't mean he's gonna bend the rules in any way for me (quite the contrary actually)
-I don't have any special inside information about this game.
-I don't have access to his account or him to mine.
however If Anyone is uncomfortable with me participating then I'm happy to sit this one out.
