With it at 4:30, I'll probably be still voting before 4 every day, but that's not a real problem, I just get home right after 4:30, so wouldn't want to risk the inability to vote.

I doubt I'll have an issue, so 4:30 works for me

4:30 seems about right for me. So, I might have a problem with that because I'm in school. But I might be able to make last minute votes and participate more early in the Day.

Back to this werebear business... If we have nearly 20 players I think it is a good idea.

As for times, I am flexible, because I'm sure my big mouth will finish me off early. Yet again, I guess Sauce and Mormegil are in this one. I could live to day three!

I don't things REALLY matter to me one way or another.

Re: the Werebear:

I'd prefer none, if only to enhance the chances of my survival, and to decrease the chances of being anything other than an innocent ordo. But it's the mod's call.

Which means that if Menel doesn't want a Werebear, then too bad if I'm the only Ordo who agrees with him!

Form's idea of an apprentice could easily counter the werebear, see last game...

Soccer or your football?

Anyway I agree that the Wolves win in the scenario. Think of it this way, the wolves goal is to kill the village. If they are all dead (villagers) wolves win whether or not they are alive too is irrelevant, though I would leave the wolves alive to avoid the ambiguity.

Alright, who is the next on the list for modding? I believe Nilp wanted to give it a go, but I'd like to pencil my name down after his.... I say pencil because there might be someone else waiting and I wouldn't want to cut in line

I have quite a few ideas for my game (Whenever it happens) but I don't mind waiting.... nor playing another game.

I'm up for the next Mod, Nilp was kind enough to let me take this round since it works best with my school schedule. He gets the game after me then and after that it should be free.

For my game I'm aiming for a village of fifteen (15) to twenty (20) people, so feel free to start signing up now. There are just a couple of quick points about my game.

>>I ask that you DO NOT CHOOSE AN OCCUPATION (yet). I may or may not limit which occupations are available (for the purposes of my narations) but I haven't decided yet. Within 24 hours I'll let you know.

>>I'm considering adding the role of "False Seer" (also called "the Fool"). Basically this role functions such that both the Seer and the False Seer would get a PM from me saying "You are a Seer yadda yadda yadda..." Only I would know which was the true seer and so they both would believe they were getting the correct information. The False Seer's dreaming works such that if the False Seer dreams of the true Seer they're told they've found the False Seer, if they dream of anyone else I pull a role out of a hat containing all the remaining roles (minus the seer). So if it's Night Three and there's 3wolves, 1ranger, 1hunter, 9villagers, (and the subtracted seer) I'd be pulling one of those randomly to tell the False Seer.

I'm looking for input regarding the False Seer, so feel free to ask questions or give your opinions. Like with the occupations I'll let you know what I decide within 24 hours.

Day/Night Starting Times will probably be around 4:30pm EST, though that's flexible within half an hour either way. I say for sure when the game will start until I have a better feel (well, any feel) for how recruitment's going.

Just to let you all know, the 4:30 start time means I probably won't be able to get online until the end of the day. Talk about suspicious. I can probably be on about 12:00 - 4:00 at intervals. Rarely, I may be able to come on in the early morning.

Ditto to what TGWBS said, at least when it comes to voting. I'll only have about half an hour in afternoons.

Okay, I'm going to change the beginning/end time to 5:00 EST/10:00 GMT/3:00 Mountain time. I'm not planning on changing it any more, as it would probably be a little late for those in Europe. Indeed, it probably is already quite late for dancing spawn now. Sorry about that, as I'm trying to do what I can to make it convenient for as many people as possible.

Same times as my game then...

Works for me.

But really, there's always going to be SOMEONE put out by the times. Best to stick with what YOU find best, since you're the one for whom that time of day is going to become the most plugged up thanks to Werewolf.

Hmmm, 5pm Eastern Time? That should be fine for me except for Tuesdays and Thursdays starting next week. So, if I post an early vote on Monday and Wednesday, that would be why. As for me playing, by the looks of things, it's a go. So, definetly count me in Menel and I've already given my occupation on the previous page I believe.

Hey, of course, don't worry about that. I'll just vote a few hours before the deadline then, and disapper for quite a while after the beginning of a Day.

About the Bear: I'd rather have a Cursed than a Bear if there's need to make the villagers' job more difficult.
