Color for the sign-ups:
Do you know Phil? The weatherman on WPBH-TV9 in Pittsburgh?
He's not really a nice guy. Some would call him arrogant, other say he's selfish. Then there are the people thinking he is rude and selfish. They would all be right!
On February 2, Groundhog Day, he visits Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to report back to the vievers if Phil, the Groundhog, will see his own tail or if spring is on it's way. Before leaving Phil, the weatherman, predicts that the incoming blizzard will move away. But it turns out he was wrong and since he can't return to Pittsburgh, he is forced to spend the night in Punxsutawney.
The next Day he wakes up to the sound of Sonny and Cher singing "I've got you babe" and as he leaves his bed he realize that it is - once again - February 2, Groundhog Day.
There is nothing he can do to escape as the Day comes back over and over and over...
First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realization that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing EVERY day
No escape possible, not even death. Every Day is February 2, Groundhog Day.
The game will not be a typically mini. Every player will have a personal wincon and will not leave the game until that wincon is achieved. Not even if they are lynched (more in the rules thread about this).
The game will last until Day 1 has returned 7 times. Every player having achieved their wincon at that time will win. All the rest will lose.
We will need 12 players: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

The clock switches from 5:59 to 6:00 and the room is filled with song:
Okay, campers, rise and shine.
Don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today.
You open you eyes and as you get up you realize that is it very cold out of bed.
It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
Not hardly. You can expect hazardous travel later with that blizzard thing.
You head for the bathroom and turn on the water. "That blizzard thing"? Here's the report.
As you wash your face the fake happy and cheerful voices in the radio is starting to annoy you. You don't want to be here in a "nice B&B in Cherry Road". You just want this day to be over so you can go back to Pittsburgh.
The National Weather Service is calling for a big blizzard thing. They are. But there's another reason why today is especially exciting.
Especially cold.
The big question on everybody's lips- On their chapped lips.
Do you think Phil will come out and see his shadow?
You pick up a towel and dry your face. The hosts on the radio keep chit chatting away and it's annoying you more and more. What is it with these people and their stupid ideas of fun and festivity. It's just a silly little rodent popping it's head out of a wooden box. What is the big deal anyway??
- Punxsutawney Phil. - That's right, woodchuck chuckers.
It's Groundhog Day! - Get up and check that hog! - Come here, groundhog!
You throw a quick look out into the street seeing an old car driving towards the town square and some people already moving in the same direction. Yeah, the whole town will be there to day... Every year it's the same old schtick. A guy with the big stick raps on the door. They pull the little rat out. They talk to him. The rat "talks" back and then they tell everyone what's gonna happen. Gosh, you can't wait for this day to be over!!!

Here's the report.As you wash your face the fake happy and cheerful voices in the radio is starting to annoy you. Didn't they even realize the mistake? Why isn't anyone telling the idiots what a mistake they have made? The National Weather Service is calling for a big blizzard thing. They are. But there's another reason why today is especially exciting.Especially cold.The big question on everybody's lips-Oh, come on. Now the fool is going to say "chapped lips". What kind of place is this anyway? Are every one in this town utterly and completely worthless?

Day 1 - for the 3. timeThe clock switches from 5:59 to 6:00 and the room is filled with song: As soon as you hear the song, you sit up straight with a startle. This can't be true. This isn't right. Slowly... very, very slowly you turn your head to the bedside table to look at the pencil you broke yesterday just before you fell asleep. Okay, campers, rise and shine.Don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today.The pencil is gone. You look for it and finds it lying on the floor. All in one piece. It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?Without hesitating you quickly get dressed and rush out of your room. This can't be true. It can't be happening!!! At the top of the stairs you meet the same man as yesterday and the day before. He is dressed in the same suit and wearing the same annoying smile on his face. Good morning he greets you - like before. Exactly like before!! You don't stop to talk to him. What is the point since you already had this conversation... Off to see the groundhog? he calls after you as you rush down the stairs. This is so wrong and you need someone to talk to. Someone to help you. Someone has to fix this nightmare!! Winners so far: Bufftabby was Ned Ryerson - the guy selling insurance - BING!won based on her team wincon: The 3 drinking-buddies must identify the rolenames of more the 50% of the living non-drinking players in the game. However you must do so before Day 7 where the game will end. Each drinking-buddy must send their guesses to the Mods in a private PM. You may send as many as you like but only the last PM will be viewed as valid guesses. If a drinking-buddy fulfilles his unique wincon his guesses will no longer be valid.BillMc was Ralph - a man in flannel shirts that had a little too much to drink won based on his team wincon: The 3 drinking-buddies must identify the rolenames of more the 50% of the living non-drinking players in the game. However you must do so before Day 7 where the game will end. Each drinking-buddy must send their guesses to the Mods in a private PM. You may send as many as you like but only the last PM will be viewed as valid guesses. If a drinking-buddy fulfilles his unique wincon his guesses will no longer be valid.KidV was Phil - the groundhog and he won the game when you have two Days with no votesZuma was Phil - the weathermanWincon: For you to leave the game and win you have to identify the player with the role of Rita. And you have to help her achieve her wincon or be alive when she fulfills it.Severe Delays was Rita - a really good producerWincon: And that's why you have to figure out who has the role as Phil, the weatherman AND Phil, the groundhog. You can PM the mods with your guesses. But you will not be told if their are wrong or right unless both guesses are correct. When that happens, you will have won the game.Captain Klutz was Gus - another man in flannel shirts that had a little too much to drinkwon based on his team wincon: The 3 drinking-buddies must identify the rolenames of more the 50% of the living non-drinking players in the game. However you must do so before Day 7 where the game will end. Each drinking-buddy must send their guesses to the Mods in a private PM. You may send as many as you like but only the last PM will be viewed as valid guesses. If a drinking-buddy fulfilles his unique wincon his guesses will no longer be valid.archangel was Larry - the guy with a camera and a home knitted sweaterWincon: having 7 different players (not including yourself) vote for you during the gameDirx was Doris - a friendly waitressWincon: You have to end a Day without having voted or being voted for.Septimus is Nancy Tailor - a young woman looking for love (but not that desperate, Larry!!)Wincon: You have to guess who the right one is. Who will end the Day with the majority of votes? If you guess correct, then you will win the game. The guess has to be PM to the mods before the Day begins. However you may submit guesses for Days to come whenever you want to and as long as the Day hasn't begone yet, you may also change your mind.Remaining in the game is now: Guiri Sinjin RenataHowever since Guiri will achieve his wincon by toMorrow I'm willing to end the game before time if the remaining players should wish so. If not Day will last until Tuesday, 15 February 2011, 17:00:00 (Esbjerg time)

The clock switches from 5:59 to 6:00 and the room is filled with song:
Sonny: Then put your little hand in mine There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Sonny: Babe BOTH: I got you babe I got you babe
You sit up in the soft bed and check you are okay. No harms had happened. You're all in one piece. One big happy piece. This might actually work out great.
You jump out of bed yelling happily: Rise and shine, campers! Don't forget your booties because it's cold out there today! It's cold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach? Not hardly.
As you walk to the bathroom the radio host starts to say: Okay, campers, rise and shine.
It's the same day and no one but you seems to remember anything that happened yesterday. There seems to be no consequence of your actions. And by now you know what most people will say before they even open their mouth.
The nice lady running the B&B is just about to ask you if you slept well. But before she gets a chance you say: Slept like a baby. Thank you
She looks surprised and start to ask if you want any coffee. But again you answer before the words leave her lips. This might be a fun day after all...
