Noon in what time zone?

As I said earlier, I will be out of town till Saturday. I'll address any last-minute questions or sign-ups at that point and get the thread set up. I'll send out roles on Sunday morning, and the game will start Sunday at noon.

Will the game start with a death or with a night period? (I'm assuming night period so that the seer can do it's job...)

May I suggest that the roles be sent earlier? Just for the...uh...people from weird time zones.

It would be hard for us to swallow our roles and post right away...if we're not asleep, that is.

You know, I've often thought the Werewolf Games would be made easier by standardising which time zone we use. The obvious thing to do would be to adopt GMT (not BST!) and post everything in that, as it's easiest to get to / work from from other time zones.

Just a thought. *Prepares to be pounced on, lightly peppered and eaten for insolence*

My personal computer at home has crashed, and will be in for repairs starting Sat. So weekend gaming will be dicey for me. It probably won't affect the werwolf VII game since I'll prob. have it back by the following weekend (by which time I'll most likely be lynched anyway!).

Don't worry, LMP, the first two lynchings are reserved for Feanor and Eomer.

Also, Firefoot, will you be using lynchings or hanging? Lynching is more fun y'know... more blood and gore and stuff. Everybody likes pitchforks too.

I'm with TGWBS on this. GMT is good. Really good.

I could live with GMT. Im eastern so that makes me 5 hours behind. that would mean if the game starts at noon it would be 7 in the morning for me. That's cool. On sunday I can only be on 7-8 and then all afternoon past 1:30. So that would mean noon-1 and then the rest of the day past 6:30 in GMT time.

OK thats great. This will be fun.

You're in Eastern Daylight Time at the moment, which is six hours behind GMT. Once everybody remembers about Daylight times it'll all be sorted for ever!

I don't think we should assume that yet. Firefoot is out of town and presumably she is unable to post so I'm still going with Noon at central time which makes it 6 pm in London I believe.

So things have not changed until the mod tells us so.
