Main Thread #223

At last the long wait is over
the weight is off my shoulder
I'm taking all control
My mind is set so free

I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me
… “Too Long”
… Daft Punk

“Doesn’t seem to be too much need to count the remaining ballots and I’m very much ready to get myself outside a glass of Jameson’s. Does anyone object to me closing this initial selection without a precise tally?”

Fermanagh eyed the assembled Fatlings. None objected. A few still seemed to be just sitting there, vacantly staring, as though they weren’t active and alive. Fermanagh continued,,

“It’s clear to me that your initial choice as Director of the Committee of Vigilance is our own GeneralHankerchief. I’m glad you chose him. He’s been in Fatlington as long as any of us – Saint’s preserve me, but GH was around even before I set foot here. We can trust him to take charge and do things right.”

There was a muted round of applause, which GH acknowledged with a slight – but just ever so jaunty – wave.

“With a Director in place, you’ll need to begin meetings to bring this process to a conclusion and to save Fatlington. We will meet here each morning at about 9:30am for an initial review session. Then the committee will be in “loose” session, members also have to attend to their own business, so they will be in and out. Each evening at 6:30pm we’ll have a session to finalize that day’s vote and subsequent selections...and to carry out the executions as well. The director will be assigned four of my toughest micks to protect them and assist in this task. The rest of the department will try to keep a lid on the population at large so that you can focus on your task.”

Most of those present looked grimly determined at Fermanagh’s comments. A few furtive looks might have been better described as “eager.”.

“With that, it appears that this initial session is at a close. General?”

Generalhankerchief walked to the front and took the gavel from Commissioner Fermanagh. One business-like 'THUMP' made an endnote to the meeting. Night had come to Fatlington.

OOC:
As is typical with capo, so as to allow for new teams to form, chat and coordinate (and betray), the first session will be longer than typical. Orders deadline for night one is:



1. Please mark all orders PMs as “N1 orders”

2. Yes, orders may be changed

3. I will use as the actual orders for you for that night either:

a. The last ones submitted, or

b. Those that are labeled as “use these regardless of any others”

4. Pay attention to the correct info being in your PM, unless you want it to fail.

Also, I would like to recruit 3 official tally keepers. One each to keep tallies on lynch votes and selections, and a third to double check the others. I will reward each with an additional trait. PM me; first come first used.
