Sounds awesome Nerwen. :D Sign me up.
|
Depending on the DL, I am all over this. Actually, either way, I'm all over this.
|
Count me in! :D
|
Yeah I'm signing up. :)
|
I should probably be able to play this game.
|
The DL will have to be somewhere between 7 AM and 12 AM GMT; that or you might all have to be prepared to wait for the results each Day.

But that guarantees a vote from me each Day - though about 2-7 hours early, depending on the DL. Not a bad thing - I won't have to rush to the computer in the last half hour for once. |

Alternatively, you can pick the time most convenient for you all, but as I said, you might have to wait a while for the voting results some Days.
Oh, and can everyone please pick an in-game occupation? |
Oh yeah. I'm in. An entertainer (that is, practically, that dancing girl of yours, sounds like way too much fun).
|
I'll be a professional assassin. :Merisu:

Me too, please!
|
Okay, I'll be a particularly attentive guard lieutenant.
|
Please sign me up!
|
I'll be a wealthy mumak breeder
|
Well, that DL's gonna be a killer, but, what the hey; sign me up.
One court eunuch (it's up to you to guess whether it's the position or the surgery). :D |

I'm sorry about the DL. I might be able to make it some hours earlier, but we'll see. |

I think this DL will work out fine for me. I'll just vote a few hours early. But it's better than knowing that you come home less than half an hour after the Day ends - what happened to me in Boro's game. It's going to be a nice break knowing that I don't have to run anywhere to get the vote in. |

At least this European is quite used to weird deadlines anyway - the basic American deadline is something like 6 AM here. :D
As for occupation - I think I'll be the empress's favourite snake charmer. |
Oh, Greenie, we can form an performance clique to this palace! Or we might just end up fighting for the bits and pieces that is the arts budget.

I'm in for sure if this starts after the 20th. Otherwise, it depends on how quickly I end up being able to write the various essays due before then - probably I'll be able to play, but I'll let you know after this weekend.
That said, I'd like to tentatively sign up as an accident-prone sorcerer's apprentice. |
Looks like I'll be able to play then.
|
*sigh* I've been debating with myself over it, but I just know I'm going to regret not being in the game, so sign me up as a leprous, paraplegic, clinically dead, quadriplegic, fructivorous, septuplegic (or whatever he thinks will make him seem most pitiable) beggar.
|
I can't guarantee a high degree of activity, but put me down Her Highness's Minister of the Treasury.
|
I am your singing telegram!
*bang* I'll be a messenger girl, if it pleases m'lady. |
Lommy told me to sign her up as a questionmark!
|
Update: I'm thinking of starting this early next week. How does that suit everyone?

The early part of next week should be as good a time as any for me.
|
Ehhhrg. I was really really hoping this would start earlier than that, but eh. I can make it work.
Looking forward to it anyways. |
That's fine with me, one who is brighter than the moon.

A Wight Returns To The Burial Site
I figured I have so much school stuff to do I'm going to procrastinate anyway, and I'm kind of bored of useless stuff like Facebook, winteriscoming.net and DamnYouAutocorrect, so please confirm my participation. ;) I'll be the court physician.
PS. Last log in in mid-August, last post in late July, last ww game in early July... wow, it's been too long...! |
I'll be somewhat busy until Wednesday, a friend of mine from Finland is visiting me here, but I can make that work. I'll command him to cook or something while I read and post :P
