1) If a mindstealer mindsteals a mindstolen alien, does the mindstealer become a survivor or gain the other alien's original objective?
2) Does the OH kill instantly (can an eliminator daykill the OH with advanced assassin bot?)?
3) A bit of a vacuous question, but is there a preferred style for players who have already lost (xenozoo's who have abducted a plasma bomb eliminator, for instance)?
4) Is the spore spreader wincon exclusive or can other players still win?
5) Does the OH abomination attempt to nightkill the OH? What protects from the abomination (if anything) and does the abomination stop killing after being foiled once (if it can be foiled)?
5.5) Does the OH need to kill each night to count towards building to building the abomination?
6) Do eliminators choose between guns/blades or is it chosen at game start automatically? Are eliminator guns visibly different to vig/war vet guns?

Survivor
2) Does the OH kill instantly (can an eliminator daykill the OH with advanced assassin bot?)?
Yes, it is effectively a special form of Night Kill. And, yes, assuming the Exterminator was not abducted.
3) A bit of a vacuous question, but is there a preferred style for players who have already lost (xenozoo's who have abducted a plasma bomb eliminator, for instance)?
Generally speaking Aliens who cannot win should play as Survivors.
4) Is the spore spreader wincon exclusive or can other players still win?
Yes, it is exclusive
5) Does the OH abomination attempt to nightkill the OH? What protects from the abomination (if anything) and does the abomination stop killing after being foiled once (if it can be foiled)?
The Abomination does not target the Organ Harvester. It performs a regular Night Kill attempt on all other players, and can be blocked as normal. It can try again the next night, assuming the OH doesn't get lynched.
5.5) Does the OH need to kill each night to count towards building to building the abomination?
Yes
6) Do eliminators choose between guns/blades or is it chosen at game start automatically? Are eliminator guns visibly different to vig/war vet guns?
I generally decide based on how I'm feeling, although the Exterminator can also request stuff. And the Exterminator weapons are plasma based, rather than bullet based.

Flavor is very important in a Paranormal. I suggest reading a few of the more recent games to get an idea of what to expect.

I read Paranormal 23 before my original post in this thread, where flavor was used to determine killing roles/abduction types, initial dopp numbers, and roleflips, which is basically why I asked question 6. You are right that I'll need to read some more before monday/start, though.

Two more questions:
1) Can you PM players at night?
2) When do you pick alien tech? What is the cutoff point for choosing?

Pretty sure you can PM players at night because I remember doing that last time I played this game.

1) Yes
2) Anytime between getting your role PM and the end of the first day. That goes for human tech as well.

I'd like one more but I can run with 8. Do people just want to get started?

Well, no one seems to be commenting, so I'll just say go with what seems to be the best.

I'd prefer to wait.

I haven't done any reading of previous Paranormal games yet...

Barring a new player joining it doesn't look like there's a huge chance of someone else coming in. Might as well go.

Look elsewhere, reader. There is nothing for you here.

Well, I make no promises of doing well or paying a lot of attention, but I could probably post once a day or so.

Cool, thanks web.

I'll give it just another day or so to see if anyone else wants to join or has found time, and then I'll send out role PMs and we can get started.
