Again, today and tomorrow are why I have a co-mod who is amazing as life went "hahahaha you want to have internet fun? Have work!"

As it is looking right now, I'm thinking of maybe cutting sign ups at Friday, sending out roles on Saturday, and starting Sunday night maybe. I shall have to talk this over with people but I'm thinking that is what might happen as I would like to be here for close of the first Day(and not paying for internet in a stupid airport).

Thanks everyone for signing up so far!

Hmm, and those are some pretty powerful gifteds there....

Yes they are, but I also tried to counter that. And yay you're playing!

I think that might have been helpful...

Gah...

A 1:00 am EDT deadline is 11:00 pm here... which is entirely too workable... and a game that doesn't start until Monday or Tuesday doesn't interfere with my long weekend sans Internet... and if it actually starts thenish, it should be over or I'll be dead with time to spare ere the Fall resumes... and lots of cool 'Downers are playing...

le sigh...

Aw, I feel like that is a very nice compliment, about my game being awesome. And you are on the list, and don't worry about it possibly starting Sunday night, you will have all of Monday to work on it.

Could I be the computer geek who keeps to herself and nobody really knows?

Looks like it's going to be a GREAT game! Thanks for putting it up Lari and Mira.

wilwarin538 · 07-30-2009, 07:06 AM

Sunday sounds absolutely wonderful to me!

The line up is just lovely!!!

Fun times...

....that I'm a bit thick. I voted Nienna but didn't actually retract my vote for Nerwen, so it was never technically a tie in the first place. Go me.

Yes, I felt the need to share that with you all. Have a great game everyone!

Never mind. I did the exact same thing last time I was a wolf.

Hakon · 08-04-2009, 01:02 PM

I would like to apologize both for not posting a whole lot and for well sort of role playing. My only experience prior to this game was The Cottage of Lost Play one but I think that was different than the usual WW game. Now that I understand better how it works I can play the game properly. Once again I am sorry.

And that is why I need to triple check votes. I thought I got everyone, saw a tie, and then picked...so I guess Fate(or whatever) knew about what I missed.

Also fail Mira for sleeping through texts.

Hakon: You're doing fine. Being a newbie doesn't go away for awhile, it took me a few to be able to get the hang of it properly.

satansaloser2005 · 08-04-2009, 04:07 PM

Once again, Lari, thanks for a fabulous narration!!!!!

Wow I should definitely not go to bed before deadline. Slash shouldn't sleep through texts. Still don't know how that happened.

As for the newbie thing, it USED to be that newbies got a three (?) day grace period to get a handle on the game, but that kinda died recently.

Three? For real? If that's true, it's generous. As a general rule, newbies always get Day 1 to get their feet on the ground, and the only leeway they get in following days comes in a benefit-of-the-doubt sort of way. If you're behaving suspiciously, you're fair game.

Mirandir · 08-06-2009, 04:49 PM

So Boro, was your death honorable enough? Figured it didn't get much better than a samurai sword.

Couldn't have asked for better

...from the Mac and Cheese tune, which I have stuck in my head, to running on my own samurai sword. Very nice, here take another smilie.

satansaloser2005 · 08-06-2009, 05:54 PM

Speaking of which....

I was in the grocery store today. I walked past the mac and cheese and I giggled.

Mirandir · 08-06-2009, 10:09 PM

Soooo let's say that hypothetically the mods went to Salem today with a bunch of their friends and are now very very sleepy. The narration is written and might be posted early, but if we pass out before 1am EST go ahead and post.

autume98 · 08-07-2009, 11:39 AM

An unforseen incident has happened at work so now I have to fix it. Not sure how long it will take. However there is a chance it could keep me busy up to a couple hours before DL. I'll still post when and if I can.

autume98 · 08-07-2009, 02:27 PM

It looks like the issue is resolved. Yay! So long as it stays resolved I'll be around.

Brinniel · 07-30-2009, 10:05 PM

I'm interested in playing, though between work, interning, and a social life (yes I do have one now), my participation will be minimal. Which means don't expect any sort of long analysis posts from me.

Can I second that request for the game not to start until later in the week? I'm being temporarily kicked out of my apartment Monday through Friday and will have to share a computer for the time being. If you do start earlier, I guess I wouldn't have to back out, but don't plan on seeing anymore than one to two posts per Day from me.

So if you'll have me, I'm in...as the goth kid everyone's afraid of, of course. I love playing dark and scary.

Formendacil · 07-30-2009, 10:13 PM

Actually, Brinn, that's a request to start earlier rather than later--well, in the perfect window, actually, since I'm needy. And 'cause I'm gone this weekend. If the game starts Thursday or later, I have to pull out--that's getting too close to start of my all-too-soon school year.

Sorry, I'm already useless for a united front... and we aren't even in-game yet.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-31-2009, 08:14 AM

The mods and at least a few of the players already know that my life just went insane (on top of the rest of the stuff happening next week, I was informed yesterday that my new job starts Monday instead of the 17th), so...

I'm still in, but please remember I'll be at work all day before you kill me for low participation.

Brinniel · 07-31-2009, 08:23 AM

Meh, I must've been tired; I always read things wrong. Which means I'll probably be lousy in this game.

But if the game started Thursday, that'd be perfect, or even Wednesday. If the game does start Sunday, there will be 2 1/2 Days where I'll barely be able to participate. Just warning everyone, so they don't complain about me or anything...

Lariren Shadow · 07-31-2009, 12:11 PM

So to clear up confusion: Game, as I intend it, shall start Sunday night at 1 AM Eastern. Roles shall go out tomorrow.

Brinn, if you still want to play I would love to have you. And Fea, yay job starting but boo job starting. At least your start date no longer sounds like a due date.
