Signups will be open a bit longer, and of course I will also accept requests to be an alternate/replacement. Current plan is to send out role PMs on Sunday (in about 50-60 hours from this post) to allow for a brief pre-game ("night zero") period, then the actual game will start on Monday (since I said that it wouldn't start before then).
I need to be more talkative in games, anyway, and this will force that.

As for vig call shenanigans, my guess (completely uninformed) would be this, if nobody else has already said it:
Guard (if any) will have to choose his target by the end of the Day phase. Mafia get to pick their target during the Night phase. Therefore, the vig would need to call his kill far enough in advance to secure the guard's attentions, which also allows other shenanigans to take place -- bus drivers, roleblockers, etc.

Why would the guard need to pick their target during the day?
The one shot guard amulet has to be passed during the day though.

If I say "I'm the vig, and I'm shooting disc tonight" one minute before end of day, the guard only has one minute to guard me. Then, the witches get all night to pick who to kill (probably the vig).

It seems likely to me that 'night actions' would include the village vig and the village guard.
So the village vig would only need to pick who to vig during the day and then inform everyone before the vote closes. Then witches/guard/busdriver and so on try to mess with the vig however they want after vote closes.
Edit: never mind my original question was already spelled out in the OP
Night phase order of operations
1. Results phase: any results of the day, private or public, are posted
2. Targeting phase: targets for all night actions are selected simultaneously
3. Block/redirect/modify phase: actions that block, redirect, or otherwise modify another player’s action resolve
4. Info/protection phase: other actions that do not involve the possibility of a player dying resolve
5. Killing phase: any night kills (including the Witch Coven’s Murder) resolve
Day phase order of operations
1. Results phase: any results of the night, private or public, are posted
2. Players vote to select a target to Execute.
3. At the deadline, if a majority has been reached, the vote target is killed, otherwise no target is killed. If it is Day One, the player with the plurality of votes for the Amulet of Protection claims it.

Are village orders submitted during the day phase or night phase?
Generally speaking, most roles with night actions (e.g. seer) would submit orders during the night phase (that is, after the results of the day have been posted).
Some roles may require orders to be submitted during the day. This should be spelled out in the corresponding role PM.
All PMs are out. If you did not receive your PM(s), please get in touch with me privately. If you did receive a PM, please respond to it so I know that you've seen it.
It is now pregame. Game discussion is open, but votes will be disregarded until the game actually starts.
One or more players may be making decisions that happen "at the start of the game." The actual game will start in 24 hours from this post, or once I have received all decisions.

Congrats on getting married soon Gizzy and Zombie!

I swear I shall take great pleasure in ripping apart the assholes who created the hellspawned program known as Spellcheck!
As far as commenting on sins, you could do that whole Confession thing, but really, does that devolve you of those sins or do they just make you feel better about being an awful person?
Of course, I've always got an open ear. Especially if you look good in a dress.
It looks like, from my own PM and the sample villager role, that every villager has a role.
That is, I don't think there are any vanillagers in this game.
So we're probably in a Town of Salem like game where we soft confirm each other based on our roles rather than our actions.
Although... we don't have a complete list of roles and effects to check against, so we can't just ask everyone for the fifteenth word of their role PM to win (or otherwise determine who's lying about their role).
