As far as moral issues go... I've not got a HUGE problem- though it DOES come perilous close to condoning it... though one could say that about the deaths and lying as well.

No, the big issue for me would be that I ended up one of the Lovers, I'd not have any fun with it.

Oh, and despite not making a huge issue of it, I definitely want to be counted as opposed to it.

EDIT:

Morm? You? Nitpick?

Didn't I just see "Sauruman" (or was it "Sauraman"?) in a post of yours very recently? Some thread about Radagast the Brown...

No it was Saurman a mere typo and I'm not sure what the revenge is for but meh.

However I fully agree with you about the lovers issue, I simply would not have any enjoyment out of it and I do not condone it at all.

Yes I'm conservative.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Can I still sign up? I haven't been sure about how soon Lommy's/Nogrod's game would be ending and have been putting off signing up, but with this later start date all should be good. I've been wanting to play in a village with lovers and was disappointed to have missed the last one.

++10 PM

Since 8 AM is about 2:00 in the morning where I live, if I'm not mistaken... sorry, I don't stay up that long, not even for you guys. If we do go with that, my votes would be roughly 4 hours early. Which, I suppose, isn't so bad, compared to what I've gone through before, and nighttime is more flexible than dealing with school hours.

I don't like the idea of same-sex lovers.

Extremely interesting rules, Ang. I guess I'd have the misfortune of being one of those euthanized players, though...

As for times I'd work with either, because I'll stay up until 3 AM in order to play, but 10 PM would be easier than 8 AM, for me.
So I guess I'd vote
++10 PM, but if it comes down to making it harder for many others I'd rather have it be 8 AM and have more active people than 10 PM and less, because I'd be able to do either.


--Retractable Voting
