I'm trying to work out when the deadline for lynch / brig vote will be - midnight or midday. Am I missing some rules posted somewhere?

There isn't going to be any vote today and yes, it is an extended day.
It will be clear when you need to vote.

When we do start voting the deadline will be 12:00 GMT.

For now just make your self at home and get to know the rest of the survivors
whilst you can and they are.

Pardon me? I have information on the rescue team? I am a part of it, but I don't know much about it. I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

I was wondering about the landscape around the sub, is the ground unstable or on a fault line? Because that would make things more suspenseful.

Would it help if we managed to work out the design details/backstory of the sub? You never know what might be a plot point.

We know it runs off a lead-cooled reactor, as established by the in-game chatter. I conjecture that it has multiple pressure hulls, like a Typhoon-class, and was thus (at least partially) built by the Russians, given that the entire submarine hasn't been crushed flat. (Aren't retcons wonderful?)

Since it's an international crew, it's chartered by the Royal Navy. Someone already pointed that out. No ultra-sensitive materials onboard, so everything is about civilian-level--that includes sonar, radio, and ROVs. No torpedoes and no ESM/etc., and probably lax on sound discipline. She's not built to fight, after all.

...anything else?

I highly doubt part of the vessel is built by the Russians, they aren't the only ones capable of building those. There are torpedo tubes but I doubt the boat is carrying any torpedoes on this trip

EDIT: Whoops, I was sure Letum said that there were somewhere, but guess not...

No the tubes are difinately full of testing equiment and sensors, so nor torps. Part of the scientific effort you know.

Mr. MookieMookie, I'm afraid...or not as much...that you are mistaken, the reactor is not running, it therefore does not need cooling. We are running on battery power here.
lol shows how much I know about nuclear reactors. I'm a diesel boat nut, not a SSN nut. :rotfl:
