Okies....

I will be able to post for 30-45 minutes 6-7am CST (UK lunchtime) and between noon amd 3pmCST approximately (UK evening) weekdays and at least daily at weekends (variable times). During these times you will have as much participation and discussion as I can muster. I will vote as best I can according to the state of play at the time I leave.

If this is acceptable to the Mod, please regard me as a definite. If this is an unacceptable level of involvement, I understand and will bow out wishing the game well.

Very well, as you ask, 8am is best for me.

Diamond18 · 04-18-2006, 11:09 AM

That sounds good to me, Mith. Does this mean I can consider you as in favor of 8 AM?

Well bringing it forward a few hours won't make any difference to me save that my vote will be a little less premature, and having modded twice (asserting the divine right of moderators

) , I think you should do what suits you best and let everyone else work around it. It is a harder job than you expect and as the wise Envinyatar says in his sig - you will labour in vain if you attempt to please everyone.

Either 10 PM or 8 AM works perfectly fine for me (though I kvetch about getting up early in the morning, I really have no problem with it) so it's up to the majority of players to decide between the two. The one thing I don't want to do is have shifting deadlines, and so that rules out pretty much all other times for me.

Consider how long you think it will take you to write a death, in case the daily lynch isn't whom you expect.

Mithalwen · 04-18-2006, 11:28 AM

That I would second whole heartedly - as you might expect!

If the deadline is 2pm GMT I will have to vote extremely early most days. As in about midnight the day before. The 4am GMT deadline would work a lot better for me I think as I can vote much closer to the deadline.

But if it's easier for you Diamond I'm ok with 8am.

Diamond18 · 04-18-2006, 11:35 AM

One good reason not to have retractable votes, methinks.

(I'm leaning toward non-retractable. Much as a I appreciated them in Mith's game, I think non will be more mod friendly.)

A good death scene would probably take me 40 minutes to write. I type like the wind. So assuming my brain is working....
