omg bessie do u want to play as a hydra?

Thanks for signing up everyone! I will aim to start the game on the 3rd as promised. Sign ups are will remain open until the evening of the 2nd when I will need to finalize numbers.

Do we have any actual newbies because me and Bessie playing as a hydra is HILARIOUS and I want to make it happen and I read that hydras aren't newb friendly

We don't currently, no.

My executive decision is that I would allow this.

@bessie i am assuming you consent and our hydra name should naturally be messie

Badge?

I feel like our play would be messie

I suppose this is the best of both worlds for you; you get to play and avoid D1.

Ok, now I want in on this cushy deal

Tough bickies I got in first

Hmm, just because I didn't immediately object doesn't mean I agree. Well it wouldn't to most normal rational people. Madgeworld follows its own laws of physics.

Ok I'll play if moody does. My annoyance at being half Madge-brain will be more than worth it if moody has to deal with this too.

Well, it's not like hydras can only have two heads. Quite the opposite actually.

every single person not in the game being in the same hydra seems like a natural conclusion :p

Any list minute interest? I will be closing sign ups in about 8 hours and start preparing the setup.

Mark_Cangila has indicated on Discord that they want to play but is waiting for verification to use the forums, so tentatively we have 10 right now. bessie/Madge should also make a decision about the hydra business before I start sending out role PMs.

Bessie is concerned that phillip is a newbie, but I think we're down in theory.

I have created an account (it's made a post in the frist psot thread) and Bessie is down as far as I can tell (she's at work so no xkcd forum for her)

Could we have madge, bessie, messie CC'd in all mod PMs?

Phillip is flicky IIRC?

[edit]Nevermind, that's someone else.[/edit]

@bessie, can you confirm officially whether you are playing in the hydra?

Signups are closed with the following playerlist:

1. Wam
2. Phillip
3. Heury
4. messie (bessie/Madge)
5. Sabrar
6. somitomi
7. Eido
8. BoomFrog
9. Makhaira
10. Mark_Cangila

I will wait until I get confirmation from Mark and messie (assuming bessie confirms, otherwise it will be just her) that they can post in forum games and then I will send out role PMs and set up the thread sometime tomorrow.

I can post in forum games, but this is Madge at the keyboard so you're going to need to wait on Bessie to officially confirm.

Can we put pronouns in the OP? From what's already on the sheet:

1. Wam (he/him, from memory)
2. Phillip (he/him, from assuming from the name)
3. Heury (they/them, he/him)
4. messie (bessie/Madge) [she/her or they/them, as we are female and plural?]
5. Sabrar (he/him, from memory)
6. somitomi (he/him)
7. Eido (???)
8. BoomFrog (he/him)
9. Makhaira (????)
10. Mark_Cangila (they/them, from memory)

The profile pic is outstanding.

Thank you! A muddy lab was her idea.

I'm good to post - looking forward to play a game in what seems like forever now.

Boo moody.

Confirm I'll play as hydra.

I love this hydra and the pfp.
If my schedule frees up shortly I'll dm the hosts about being a replacement. Though hopefully one won't be needed
