Default Convoy VII: Interstating the Obvious Game has started!!!

MERCY SAKES ALIVE, LOOKS LIKE WE GOT US A CONVOY!

Welcome to the sign-up thread for Convoy VII: Interstating the Obvious. The battle against the Black Demon and his Kenworth of Despair from Convoy VI was a close battle. The souls were almost delivered to the Well to Hell in Siberia, but were stopped just 2 days away.

After the epic battle, life returned to normal for the truckers. Some uneventful times passed and for a while the drivers enjoyed the break from the bizarre. A lack of giant robot battles and demon fighting can be refreshing.

However, sometimes, you can only take so much relaxing before you need an unvacation and Rubber Duck had relaxed to the point of being bored. Reaching for the CB, he grinned, and called out to his fellow truckers.

Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon!


From this, the convoy was formed!

Roles and rules
Spoiler

Players: The main rule of Convoy is to enjoy yourself. Don't take it too seriously and remember its just a game. If you want to play, I'll be happy to have you in the convoy. I am going to need a handle and a cargo from you, though. Not that it will matter, but I think the flavor text will make the game a bit more interesting. Also, if you would rather have a vehicle other than a truck, that's fine. Be creative, be silly, be fun!!

Oh, also let me know if anything on this post looks funky.

I'm definately in this one.

Handle: Corn cob
Cargo: "Toothpicks" (lumber)

Also, I'll be getting slang from a few online sources. This page has several, and is where I found Toothpicks, but this page has much more.

Player list has been added and I'm working on moving it to structured games. It takes a bit of time.

One day we'll have a convoy with a daybaner, and then wolves will agree to not kill at night while everyone lynches the one daybaner chooses and then the convoy will only keep growing every 4th day until finally there are enough bears to peacefully win the game.

The thing about players joining the game choosing their side is that they'll probably join as a Bear, as it's far more interesting… and the players, knowing this, will promptly get them lynched. I'd suggest a randomly assigned role, if that rule is there at all.
Also, in. I'm part of way too many games already, but whatever. This is too awesome to miss.
Handle - Red the Pulper
Truck - Standard, with splattered red paint that – in the right light – could resemble blood…
Cargo - Do you really want to know?

Why would people joining choose bear, I would choose villager. Anyway, I guess we would have to use past game records.
Also since I just got killed in Kaos, I think I will join in this game then.
Handle: Dracula Alucard
Cargo : Not stolen blood
Truck: A completely normal truck, with gravedirt under the seat.

The cargo is cookies and icecream.

The truck is scary. Not a standard rig, just described as a foodamancer scary to make sure nobody eat his cargo.
