Yeah, it's my turn. I'm not sure what exactly my game is going to be, I wanted to do a "sequel" to my last game but that one needs a lot of players to work. Twenty at least. So whether I do that, or a simpler game, really depends on how many people want to play.

The original All Star Crossed... game, for reference.

Also, the rules.

I would love to participate in such a game - it definitely sounds interesting.

Of course, after such a long absence from WW, and after such an... hmm... interesting game, it is without question for me to sign up too... and that's without taking into account what the game's going to look like... (I'm going to take a look. Hopefully that's not going to scare me away. But I hope also playing the old one isn't a prerequisite... hey, it seems to have taken place just before I joined! Anyway...)

Nope, playing in the old one isn't required. I'm just recycling the rules and special roles, basically.

Oh and Lommy, you did play in my previous game. It was two years ago.

As soon as I have enough people, I would say. Right now I have:

Groin (?)
Lommy
Aganzir
Legate
Kitanna
Gollum (?)
Nogrod
Brinniel
Sally (?)
Shasta

I'm going to start inviting folks methinks, because I want to start ASAP.

I see that now - and I now recall it. It was great game (except that morm killed me rather early ). You may replace "Says she who missed your previous game" with "Says she who forgot your previous game" if that helps at all.

If my maths works, the deadline would be either 9am or 1pm for us Finns, which means I prefer the later one, because otherwise I either have to wake up earlier just for the game, or then I have to vote about 10 hours before the deadline.

Yes, I prefer the 5 am cst as well. Otherwise I would have little chance to be online at deadline.

However, are we starting before October 26th? The end of daylight saving time might cause some difficulties if the game is already running.

Also starting a separate admin thread might lure in some players. I don't know how many check this thread regularly.

I'm actually leaning more towards 1 AM now, because 5 AM means getting up ridiculously early every day just because there are two days a week I actually have to be up that early for work. Of course that will mean I'll have to be up way too late on the nights before those forced early mornings. C'est la vie. I could have a nice, manageable deadline in the evening if it wasn't for the couple nights a week I have to work from 5 PM till midnight. I really have a terrible work schedule for modding Werewolf, but I'll make it work.

Perhaps the 27th is a good day to aim for starting the game. I'll go start an Admin thread.

Np Fea Mith I need to know if you are still interested in modding you own game. I will switch you two around for the time being.

Oh wait! I just realized that Gollum expressed interest before you did Fea hmm I wonder if he/she(?) is still interested. I don't have time right now to pm Gollum, could someone find out for me please and let me know here asap.

Naria, I will be happy to go last in the order you placed above. My story is not yet completed, and needs a bit more time to adjust.

Depends on the deadline, but if it works into my schedule I'm up for reconciling my last horrid performance.

I'm thinking right now that the deadline will be 5 AM CST. The only other feasible option is 1 AM.

Ouch.

Well then, I can promise I won't ever be around even close to the deadline since that's 6am EST for me. I'd be much happier with the latter possible deadline, though I'm sure our European friends would disagree...

I quite like 1 AM CST for a deadline, actually. Count me in.

I'll play, but I'll have to vote several hours early in either case, as I am in CST right now.

Good gravy.



Erm, if it's 1am I'm probably up for it, but otherwise no way. (I know I'll keep wanting to wake up early and check the game, and it'll screw up my sleep schedule more than it already is.)
