Sign-ups open for Game 1!Up to 5 players can join. Once 3 players have joined, I'll start a 48-hour timer for two more players to join.
Optionally, you can name your TV network. The names that come with the board game are all 3 characters long, but of course yours can be as long or short as you like.
Do take some time prior to the game to familiarise yourself with the rules! There's a video by Geek and Sundry if anyone prefers watching over reading. (Ignore the bit about Interactive cards — that part is wrong, Interactive cards are for 3+ players, and we're not using them anyway.) Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand part of the rules.
Also, if you've played Villagers before, the activity requirements have been revamped to allow the game to proceed in a steady pace. Please check them, but in short:
- 48 hours for your first 2 turns of each Season, then 24 hours after that.
- Each of you is given a time bank with 100 hours to start. It refills when you meet deadlines and ticks away only when you miss deadlines. The more prods you get, the faster the timer ticks down. Running out of time in your bank means either you'll be replaced or be allowed to continue but without prods or V/LA.
- If you're in V/LA, you'll get 12 extra hours before and after the deadline. You're limited to 21 days of V/LA. Running out of time in your bank and deciding to stay in the game means you lose whatever V/LA privileges you have now.

Good evening, and welcome to Test Pattern Network.
Here at TPN, we pride ourselves on our predictability. When you tune in, you can expect to know exactly what's going to happen. No surprises, no gimmicks - just good, clean family entertainment. That's our promise to you.
With that said, we've been getting viewer complaints aboutLitter Training Weekly. Some of the cats weren't quite picking up the ins and outs of the litter box, and no one could figure out which ones! We even had one host start showing people how to spread garbage around! So we're giving them the ax and sending the host off to sell kitty litter. But you can still enjoy the show on re-runs - and remember, when you're watching a re-run, you know exactly what's going to happen.
With the parting of an old show comes the dawn of a new show. Welcome, everyone, toAwesome Industrial Accidents!Where you know exactly what happens when someone forgets to drop the safety guard on the bandsaw! It'll be airing daily at9:00 PM.
(This show is sponsored byBlast Radius Pure Sugar Cereal. There's an explosion of flavor in every bite, just like there's always an explosion of awesome every time someone ignores a 'No Smoking' sign next to the cabinet where the flammables are stored!)
(Develop a Show: Awesome Industrial Accidents, 9:00 PM, with the Ad for Blast Radius Pure Sugar Cereal attached.)Mish-Mash Janitor
Please PM me for any Mish-Mash maintenance needs! - Farren
