((One thing that this system should have is a direct line of communication between the blackened and the host to get instant feedback on everything around them (I think that if the hosts want a system like this, forum PMs aren't going to cut it, since I could post something so flawed at the very last few minute, leaving Jay with no option but to rewrite my murder in a way even I didn't expect). This direct communication is essential, and it was one of the reasons for why I've been pushing for some element of Skype being used in the past for these trials.
In the one game I hosted on this site, I was constantly PMing Suki in Skype, who was the blackened in that game. I said things like "Are you absolutely sure you'd like to do this? As host, something will happen like this..." so that Suki would at least know how the situation would turn out. I reserved the right to keep pieces of information from Suki if they weren't directly incriminating, because that added to the mystery and gave the innocents some indication pointing to Suki.
Now, granted, my trial had its fair share of unfairness from this, but I think that with practice using a similar system, these games can become more fleshed out and exciting for all parties involved.
However, even with direct communication, there will still be problems, since the blackened could mass-post and not respond back at all. In circumstances like these, either the host shouldn't be afraid to make the blackened easy to catch, or a host with a similar timezone to the blackened should try contacting them. If contact cannot be received, the hosts have every right to make the trial easy for the innocents.))
