Could we have a list of participants?

[Lodestone]

That is, a list of the playing pseudonyms and whether they're alive, dead (and if so assassinated by whom) or Police, so as we can see just how big the game is, and how much further we have to go?

I don't think it's *quite* right yet to give out all the nicknames, but a list of the dead and of the number of people remaining should help a bit.

Of interest, how many *are* dead by now?

The list of real names and pseudonyms probably won't be published until the conclusion of the game - at the moment it's being restricted to game officials (swerg, DrAlex and myself - Umpire, Chief of Police and Assistant Umpire/Police Officer, respectively). When targets were first distributed the assassins were told both the real name and pseudonyms of their targets but in future e-mailings this might be reduced to just the real name (I say 'might' as swerg and I were chatting about it last night but I don't believe she/we reached a conclusion).

I can confirm that there were 25 players initially, not including the GOs.

The other details can be gleaned from the official reports thread, but for the sake of simplicity:
Tigra was killed by Smooth Operetta on day 1.
Cowboy was killed by Smooth Operetta on day 2.
Cutthroat Bess was killed by Red5 on day 2 (I think).


There may be a few others, since I haven't spoken to swerg since last night and therefore am not entirely up to date on incoming reports.

Edit: Shall speak to the Umpire about publishing the real names of dead players. The only reason I can see for not doing it is to maintain a sense of mystery, or something, but we shall see. Of course should any dead (or live) players choose to make their identities known that's their choice.

I will not be releasing a list of participate, because it adds a bit more mystery to the game. There was 25 at the beginning - 4 have died so far. If you can't keep track of how many players have died you are welcome to email and ask.

At the end of the game i will publish a list to all players with when they were killed, and by whom.

Smashing. Sounds okay enough then, cheers.
