Meh, I know I'm dead but I had a thought.

When my hunter pick went in I believe I was still poking you about the narration, so essentially mine and Fea's situation is the same as the one that was encountered toNight. The narration wasn't up, but I sent in my pick anyway because I knew exactly who I wanted to hunt, whereas Fea (may have) needed time to consider her kill. Still, since my pick went in before hers she was rendered immobile so her actions weren't acknowledged.

I know it seems a bit hypocritical given what I told you (Shasta) on IM, but now that my situation comes to mind I realize that neutralizing the White Queen's choices is the only fair way to proceed. I apologize for not thinking of it sooner and thus probably giving you a bit of a headahce, but since the situations are the same, I think they should be handled the same, even if it means my side may/will lose.

In the future, however, I would suggest that if a mod goes by PM order he/she requires that players wait a certain amount of time before PMs are accepted, even if it's just 10 minutes, so that people have a chance to read the narration and make their picks/kills with that information available to them. I would actually not suggest going by PM order at all (given time zones and other circumstances that may make it difficult for players to be present right after the deadline) because it isn't quite fair to those involved.

I should probably fade back into the shadows now but I wanted to put my two cents in for all to see, and of course I'll accept your final decision with as much grace as is possible for me.

Great game either way everyone. Look forward to seeing you all in a proper post game discussion!

Love,
~~Sally~~
