I vote:

++10PM

Nilpaurion Felagund · 04-18-2006, 06:49 PM

++10PM CST

Or bust my brains open and have me for supper!

It would be fun to actually see the cycle post--which, considering my timezone, is not likely to happen often.

Well, knowing that Wilwa helped Lote with the timing, I'm going to go with 10pm.

Re: time zones

In favor of 8 AM:

Sauce
Sleepy
Lalaith
Nogrod
Cailín

In favor of 10 PM:

Jenny
Kath
Valier
Roa
Lote
Nilp
Glirdan

No preference:

Spawn
Mithalwen

So everyone but Elu and Morm have "weighed in" so to speak. It looks like 10 PM has a slight lead. This will probably be the deadline, then, unless Elu and Morm both want 8 AM, in which case it will be a tie, and it will... probably be 10 PM because that was my preference. So, er, it will be 10 PM.

Deadline will be 10 PM

Sorry for any inconveinences this causes, it looks like some will just have to vote early. About half the village will be put out either way.

But this whole mini game of survivor featuring the deadlines was fun for me, thanks.

I have also decided that there will be NO retractable votes. With retractables there seems to be a flurry of last minute activity right up at the deadline, which can swing the lynch in a totally different direction than expected in the hours leading up. I feel this would be unfair to those players who definitely cannot be present at the deadline.

So, it's 10 PM CST DST
No retractable votes
Two days without voting results in a death, unless you get on your knees and beg really really hard whilst I grin with a self-satisified evil air, and... uh... right.
If the only thing you do is vote for two days running, same result, unless there's a really good reason.

Okay, next line of business from the extemely talkative moddess who has nothing better to do right now because she was killed but no she isn't bitter, not bitter at all:

LMP thought he might be able to play but couldn't fit it into his schedule, so there are now 17 players. Nogrod is the only questionable left -- this is dependent on his survival in Farael's game. So there's room for one or two more players if anyone wants to sign up. But even if we start with only 16 that should be okay.

I think you can leave the questionmark out, and count me in.

I just looked at the calendar and noticed, that when the first DAY-phase starts in your game, there will be just four villagers left in Farael's game (without more ranger saves). So it's just a day or at most two away from ending - and can be at an end already then. And when it's a NIGHT there, it will be a DAY here, and vice versa (an overlap of just a couple of hours).

Of the deadline: I'll just have to learn new habits and wake up early... And if I don't vote one day, I hope you believe, that I just haven't managed to wake up...

Ok, now we know it's 10pm, can someone please tell me for definite what that is in terms of GMT. My maths is not known for being correct.
