Everyone starts VT, though some players will have an advantage.

Findable Roles (Treasures):
-1x night vig shot
-1x night alignment cop check
-1x night tracker (this also will reveal if the target found anything in their hole the previous day phase)
-1x next day double-voter (their one vote secretly counts twice, and they may secretly dig another hole in that day phase provided it is privately messaged to me before the last person votes)

There is a [6x6] grid of plots posted.
Every player on N0 submits a plot on the grid where a treasure is NOT contained. Then, I will place 4 treasures to find in the grid of remaining spaces on D1 (the mafia will collectively know 3 locations the treasures are not).
Be warned: 1 of the plots contains a Yellow-Spotted Lizard. If you dig a hole with it, you will die at end of day.

Each day, a player may dig a hole in one spot on the grid (A1-F6).
This must be submitted WITH your vote in the same post during the day.
(i.e. [VOTE: Scotty] aubergine Dig F2)
IMPORTANT: votes are NOT changeable, and no player may dig a hole in the same spot as another player. This means that digging location priority goes to the players that vote earliest in the day.
If you do not dig a hole one day, or you forget to make a hole selection with your vote, you MUST dig 2 holes the next day, if available. (And if you don’t select a hole then, I will randomly choose 2 for you, you slacker)

At top of D2, Caveman and Zero will each learn the location of the cop check and the tracker, respectively, if available.

Kate Barlow starts the game knowing 3 locations- one containing the vig shot, one containing nothing, and one containing the yellow-spotted lizard- but won’t know which is which.

Hole selection will resolve at the end of day for everyone (after the elimination) and each player will be privately notified of their reward (or lack thereof). If a player is eliminated by poll, their hole will not be dug that day, thus freeing up that digging spot the following day.
If a player dies from the Yellow Spotted Lizard, their hole will still be dug.

*There is no hammer; however, the day will end early and the thread will lock once the last player votes in a day. Night will be extended as such, but Start of Days will not change.

Note that my schedule is a bit wonky at the moment; and if this fills before GoC, then I will try and have a semblance of consistent starts/ends of day

Sounds dope /in

Maybe for now. I'm already signed up for Game of Champions (as I'm sure many folks are)

I'll check back in in another week or two. Holes was my favorite movie as a kid, and would love to play this.

I figured with the influx of signups for GoC that signups elsewhere would stall so as not to multitable

I was hoping that this would fill and finish fast enough to wrap up before GoC :'(

Ah, there is always that possibility but it doesn’t look likely at this point. I haven’t been recruiting very much.

If you have to bow out because of the length of signups, I understand!

Ooh great theme. Reread and rewatched both book and movie multiple times as a kid lol. Will consider
