Abduction Seal (rules & voting help) if you've played before, please help Names & Emails
The mailto list for each game is under the 8 humans / 2 aliens thing at the upper left.
(Some people missed this at the start, me too )
Since at least a few people have the seal, someone must know this:
How do we vote?
When does this happen and what do we need to do to vote?
Is the mechanism the same for days (all vote) and nights (aliens only)?
Does the time of day of the last accepted invitation change which side goes first?
Humans vivisect from 0900-2100 & Aliens abduct from 2100-0900, but which gets first ups?
Just a suggestion, but expanding the HUH? section of the game to cover this stuff would be helpful.

Yes, understanding these mechanisms will help many people. I'm currently in a game and will fill you in as it progresses, but I am stumped currently.
My game, which started at 3pm EST,
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
does not have any way to vote for who earthlings should vivisect, and so seems to have skipped the first day.

Huh? Could someone who is an alien in at least one game describe what happens now for them? There has been no way for the earthlings to vote on a vivisection candidate.

Just received a mail via the initiator of the game, and it seems I have voted and survived... Now I never ever did actually participate, only checked every half hour or so if anything was happening game wise. BUT I do have the seal, and so do the other participants, except thomfabian who got īvotedī as alien.

Yeah, I think the system isn't working right. Maybe it got overloaded?
Trying not to give anything important away: I am an earthling in several games, and the earthling vote has occurred already in most of them -- but I got the notice of how to after the vote had already taken place. In one of these games, I was actually voted out (accused of being an alien), and I'm fairly sure the others did not vote at all.
None of the games I'm in has ended, and I don't have the seal.
Could someone who was selected as an alien log on here as Guest and tell us what happens when you're an alien?
This is disappointing. Maybe P or M or someone will be able to fix it.

Four invites accepted and I have yet to see whatever it is you are all talking about.

Eventually the screen for a given game will show you who is left, who's voted for whom, and will let you click on whomever you want to vote for. (This is just if you're an earthling; I have not yet been an alien.)
But the thing is, it sure looks like some votes happen -- or at least the events that are supposed to be the results of votes -- before you get that screen.

I was told by P that I was voted out by villagers in one game, but one of the other players mailed me that I got abducted.
I only just got to vote (daytime) but all games where I'm still in says 2 abductions -- including where I'm Alien and I know I didn't abduct anybody.

In one game I was in - and got voted out for real, as an alien - the other alien subsequently got abducted by aliens! Clearly Skynet has taken over the RNG.
And the clock function, from the looks of my email box.

one game I'm in, the other alien left (notice from P).
so I'd read teh threads here and tried to suicide too (couldn't see how to vote), but only got a 404 screen
now I can't get back to that game (can still get into others) but the people who didn't have the seal still don't have it
