Remind me never to say "maybe," because people do not recognise it, and in the end I myself cease to recognise it.

Sigh, fine. I'm in. Does this mean I have to read the rules for this game? Woik woik woik.

EDIT: So as not to double-post...I'll add that I prefer the 7 AM time, and would like to be the African trypanosomiasis victim aka girl with sleeping sickness aka sleeping *ehem* beauty (if you will).

Eep Di could I make a further request and say don't start til Tuesday? Or if you do start before don't lynch me for not being there!

As to times I think 7am is a little better than the other so I'll go for that one, and as for roles I would like to be a flower girl. I'm liking flowers today.

Oh, Lhuna, we saw the maybe, we just ignored it.

I would vastly prefer 9 PM.


But 7 AM would work, I suppose. I would only have half an hour to read posts and vote, if I wanted to be anywhere near the deadline, but that's workable.

Can we have one retraction, Di?

African trypanosomiasis sounds very unpleasant. I'll put you down as the beautiful girl with the sleeping sickness.

Noggie, uh, I have no idea what your role means. Google doesn't either. Not that I mind, of course, except that I do because now it's driving me crazy.

Tuesday's fine.

I'll consider one retraction, though I do think that kind of slides the power vote towards those who are able to be around at the actual deadline. I'll think about it.

Me neither, but it sure isn't the Silmarils... Maybe some cheap stuff they sell to the tourists?

And if we begin with the Night phase, the Night might begin on Monday already?

Please do. I have found one retraction extremely helpful when there is a f.ex. a nasty deadline (like very-very early in the morning), it's then much safer to cast a vote when going to sleep and then if being able to get up early enough, reconsider it, but if not, then having voted anyway.

7AM would be nicer than 9PM as the latter is 5AM here...

Well, since I'm also a bio student (well, technically I'm a biochem student, but I like my bio more than my chem) I can't let you win with the technical names... Since, I believe, Diamond has decided we should be elves I'll be a patient with Elven Spongyform Encelphalopaty also called Mad Elf Disease... it even has a nice acronym! MEDESE (Mad Elf Disease- Elven Spongyform Encephalopaty).

Warning for my fellow players
Tuesdays as a whole will be usually a bad day for posting for me. I have a very VERY busy day every tuesday. This specific Tuesday is the day before my Biochem midterm. I SHOULD be able to get a couple posts in... and it's day 1 anyway, I don't usually post a lot on day 1's... just thought I'd let you bunch know.

And about the deadlines.... 7 AM would NOT work for me at all.. it'd mean that on weekdays I'd be casting my vote seven or eight hours before the deadline. Having said that, if most of the other players would rather have that deadline I'll take my chances and perhaps try to wake up earlyer than usual a couple times. (let's face it... WW is THAT addictive)

If you can reduce it to something short and pithy.
