Val it is to be somewhat silly but remember....not implausible, funny and witty and a little bit silly, just make it believable (see more about this in the game thread:) ) But lovely to have you along Val, I'll add you to the list.


Nogrod if more interaction is wanted from the other players we can allow 24 hrs, but what about the players that choose paths that are not near other players? They will have longer to wait with no one to talk to that night. If players don't care then we can have longer nights.....Let's vote on that and also if you players want to reveal your "new" names and Locations before the first day or if you want to keep them secret.

Votes for 24hr nights-----?

Votes to reveal names and such-----?

Is it possible to choose a location to start with? Roa's map gave us the starting and ending positions already, if I understood it correctly?

I don't think it a problem if you don't have any interaction during one night (12/24 hours), but I could see it as a problem if one wanted to interact with someone on a totally different timezone and work/studies taking their time...

All players start at the same place. Dorwinion Then after that the choice of direction is yours. The start is marked on Roa's map.

NOTE: THIS MAP IS JUST AN ESTIMATION, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN EACH STOP VARIES.

Given that the only thing to do at night is Vote and RP, and very few people actually sleep for 12 hours, we thought this would be enough time to get things done. Otherwise, nights may end up becoming a whole lot of nothing, and the game drags on longer than people are able to commit.

However, it may not be so bad an idea, provided that we can always garruntee a mod to present at whatever time the day and night may start, since it would no longer be regular.

I agree with Valier. If everyone is up for it, we can certainly do our best to see that someone is around and able to handle the start and finish. I'd like to wait for Rune to chime in though, sonce he will likely end up starting a Day by himself and have to handle the mass pms that will be going on.

Welcome aboard all new players!!

PLAYERS PLEASE VOTE FOR 24 OR 12HR NIGHTS AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR NEW NAMES REVEALED BEFORE THE GAME START(FOR FUN).

Also players should be coming up with their bio and first post. The way your characters come to this race is they find a wine bottle with a message printed under the label for any true adventurers to come to the designated place at the designated time. So while waiting for the game to start please write up who your character is, where they are from and how they came to find the bottle. This is all done in RP....make it like a mini story/Bio about your character. Please wait to post them though until I have posted the starting posts and please bold all the info that I have outlined in the game thread IE:name, race, location, items chosen to bring (following guidelines) any questions about this, feel free to ask.

I think we should probably allow the mods to check our names. You don't want to make your big entrance to the game with an inappropriate name.

Well thought Eomer!!!!

ALL PLAYERS PM YOUR NEW NAMES TO ME AND US MODS WILL APROVE THEM.:p and remember all names MUST be similar to your screen name so there is no confusion. (ex: Valencia=Valier Runerrick=Rune Roanna=Roa....see?) This makes it a whole lot easier for us Mods:D

Oh ok I get it! now

My name will be Narleah....kinda like "that's sooo knarlee dude" HA :p :D

Ahhhh....Good one Naria! I have added your new name to the list above.:)

Hmmmm.... Perhaps I shall be Glirdingo.

Perhaps Glirdan? So no go?:p I've added this name above...if you change your mind let me know:)

PLAYERS I WILL ALSO ALLOW YOU TO PICK YOUR COLOUR(big whoop I know) NOTHING FANCY, JUST STICK TO THE BASICS AND RED IS TAKEN FOR THE START AND FINISH SPOTS.(colour represents you on the map)

Soooo much to do....gahhh!! Ahhh kiding of course. I'll pick purple

I'll go with Glirdingo then. :p And I would like to be black.

Done and done!:D

Gil the colours will represent you each day on the map.:)

oh alrighty then... green is my fave colour too...

What larks! I choose to be a very blue Éomeléo.

I'd like to sign in, unless you're starting before the 7th. :)

I vote for 24h nights.

And my name would be... Thin-Gloomy. I'm either a little orc or a ranger from the North. Haven't yet decided. And Thin-Gloomy's colour is of course a very dull and stormcrowish dark grey. (You can only put it down as a dark grey.)

Henceforth I shall be called for all intensive purposes "Valesseka" and I choose the marvellous color orange to represent me.

I'm mostly impartial to the 12 hour versus 24 hour nights, though I suppose that might be more because I don't understand the night process fully. For now I'd prefer the 24 hour version, as that is what I'm used to. Never the less I'll go back and read it again.

Note: Lommy no bad characters please:D (Orcs, Trolls etc...)
Valesse I thought I could break down the nights easily for you...

Night begins, players must all pm their favorite character of the day to a mod, then players must post a small post with them stopping for the evening at their scenario spot and choosing a campsite. This is all that is required of players during the night phase. If players desire they can converse in RPR (role playing race style;) ) with players near them (will be posted each night).

Taking a conservative stance on this, I believe 24-hour nights would be better. One can never be certain when the internet will be available. If you're trying to cram the game in so that it's finished before a certain date then you might have to select 12-hour nights; but otherwise I think it's best to be safe.

As for me, I am a ranger of course. A human ranger. As for color uh... teal should suffice. Ahem, now moving on... a name... Ransley (Pronounced: Ran-sleigh) works I hope. (Ranger + Sleepy if you wanted to know).

I understand the desire for more time during nights, and I would be for it, if it weren't for one small problem.

With 36 hour days and 24 hour nights, the start time of the day and night will switch every day. That is, if we start at 10 pm GMT one day, the next day it will be 10 am GMT. Now 10 am GMT is 6 am my time, and 4 am Valier's time, which means Rune would have to start the day on his own, and handle all of your choices and scenarios and questions, etc etc etc.

Also, we've divided the map into zones, and we each have our own territory. During one section, you'd be in Valier's territory and send your questions to her, and then you'd be in my territory, and then in Rune's. However, on the days when everything would start at 10 am GMT, Rune would have handle the information from our territories on his own. Valier would miss the first 4-8 hours, and I would miss the first 12 hours (due to work.) Rune has expressed that he has time contraints at this time and can't dedicate a lot to the game, and it seems unfair to dump so much work on him.

We can try to set things up so that on these days the information flow goes quickly and easily, but right now we're at a loss as to how. If you really want 24 hours nights, perhaps you can come up with some ideas on how we can overcome this problem.

Thanks Roa!! :) I believe I have solved the problem myself.

Days and nights will go as follows....

Day start= 1:00 pm CST} 36hrs
Day ends=1:00 am CST }

Night starts at Days end=1:00am CST} 24hrs
Night ends=1:00 am CST}

I will be available Day start and Night start all the time. During each mod's zone you will pm them only with your 3 scenario questions, all other pm's regarding direction and voting can be directed to any Mod and you will receive an answer when they are available. Other than that I am available through the whole game...about 20 hrs per Day phase.


Reminder to all players
All players must include in their first post, their Name, age, race, location, short visual description and all items described that are on the "list". Each of these must be bolded!!! Also players must include how they found the message on the bottle label and why they decided to go on this journey.

And we still have room for a few more players..... ;)

You spelled my name wrong. Its Ransley not Ranslay. Where do you see an 'a' in Sleepy? :p

Also,
Nobody is getting me. I am my own, thank you very much. :)

NOTICE TO ALL PLAYERS: The storyline will be posted today or tomorrow sometime. After this is up in the other thread please start posting your first posts(on game thread) following the guidelines I have provided. You have till Monday the 7th to get your first post up. If all are up and everyone is ready by Monday we can start, if not I can postpone the first day until Tuesday the 8th at the latest. If you have any questions about your first posts please don't hesitate to ask.

The Ka, I still need your new name and colour :D

seeing how Valesse is Valesseka, The Ka should be Kavalesse

I thought these new names were meant to be non-confusing. :p

Hah! And here I thought I'd actually get away with it! :p

Back again!

I'll be called Noh-Be-Wan-Go-Roddin’ and my colour will be yellow.
:D

player list is updated above^^^^^^^^ :D

I don't believe I'll be able to make it by the 7th so if you could push back to the 8th I'd be grateful. :)

And also, Nogrod's name reminded me of my old one so could I change back to that? Sleepy-Wan Rangeobi that is. :)
