There is an increasing tendency for players to post on this thread simply to tell people when, during the Day, they will be on-line and when they will be voting. I am not so sure that this is a good thing, as it clutters up the thread and should not really be necessary.
To quote our current Mod-God:

All out-of-character comments, regarding absences, discussion of rules, usw, must be placed in the original Tol-in-Gaurhoth thread.
If someone knows they will have to vote early they often want to say why so they aren't unduly suspected for it. Since this can't be done in the game thread it must be done in here. Coming on each day and providing a list of when you'll be online is a little over the top I'll grant you, but I think it's ok to explain early votes.

I would endorse this statement, only I would define absences in terms of days, rather than hours ...

Besides, how do you define voting early? Within the first hour, four hours, half a day? If everyone keeps coming on and saying when they have to vote by, it surely gets a bit silly.

I would say within the first half of the Day possibly extending a little further for those with timezone issues, though if all the players are aware of those who have those difficulties that wouldn't need to be mentioned.

Be advised

I won't be around for too long today. tomorrow or on Friday. Tomorrow happens to be my birthday!!! Which means that today I'll be distracted and trying to get as much work done as I Can, so that I don't have to do it on my b-day. Tomorrow it does not matter as it's the night phase.... then on Friday I will probably be going out to celebrate my b-day with my friends. I should have time to check in but don't expect me to be too talkative.

I'm sorry to be such a Puritan, but might I ask-just a precaution, there haven't really been any cases yet-that people don't get too excited about the Lovers aspect, with regard to language etc?

I don't mind in the least, but I have an extremely stringent school server which blocks sites based on the mildest little things. It would be a pity to find myself barricaded from the Downs for the vast majority of the year when I'm incarcerated here...
Typical. The sometimes extremely gruesome deaths sail past the sensor-censors, but you've got to be worried about the slightest soupcon of salacious prose? Give me a break. It's the same with movie ratings. I will never understand this.

(PLEASE, don't castigate me for cluttering this thread. I solemnly swear never to do it again. I just couldn't let this pass.)

The Eye Um . . .

I forgot this in the list of rules, sorry. I'll just put it here.

Dissenting Kill Choices

When three or more Werewolves are still alive, the player with the most number of Werewolf 'votes' will be the NIGHT's kill.

In cases of ambiguity, I will request the Werewolves to individually PM their choices.

When only two Werewolves are left, the NIGHT's victim will be whomever the first Werewolf to PM me chooses.

When there is only one Werewolf left . . . you figure this out.

The Eye Oh, and reminder.

Tomorrow is a Saturday. I mentioned before, Saturdays will be weird. I shall be closing the DAY two to three hours earlier than usual. I shall try my best to end the day as close to the nominal end time as possible.

Sorry for that inconvenience.
