To me it says 10.25 PM - and as I am in +3GMT that means the time was 7:25 PM GMT.

Making the little add-ons and subtractions and whatever one could do... it follows that the difference is -4 hours to GMT - from 3 to 7 that is - and thence -5 for Britain and -7 for Finland.

So:
9 AM EST (for Fea and thence the game - as most of the EST-regions in the U.S. will be on daylight savings but Fea seemingly is not) is:
= 1PM GMT
= 2 PM Great Britain
= 3 PM Central Europe
= 4 PM Finland

I hope I got it right...

Only problem is I refuse to alter clocks to BST as I think its a sinister modernism...I'll leave you to think if that is what I really think or not...

So anyway, it ought to have been 8.25 so my guess at a five hour difference was correct.

There, I really am a Time Lord

I just smile and do what the government tells me.

Question. What do you guys want, mod chosen wolves and cobbler or ones chosen by chance?

It is really up to you. . . .but I actually like the fact that they are mod chosen, it opens up for more speculation.

It's becoming a habit of mine to disagree with Rune - even if we seem to share most of our basic ideals about life, politics, religion, ethics etc.

But randomness is the state of the art I'd say! That's the way of doing it. No mod-choices but pure random - possibly aided by the hand of the mod if the outcome looks too bad... and what is a bad line-up anyway? If it looks underwhelmed, then it might succeed just because of that?


But in any case we should know which way it is, because if it's the mod-choice we will kill the phantom and Spm first but if it isn't we might actually listen to them...
(this last statement is suspectible to change after we see who are attending)

We? Maybe I was talking with a too wide a mouth?

Well, I at least would be ready to hold certain people really suspicious if they were hand-picked by you...

I agree with Nogrod...randomness is better. This way people can't use meta-reasoning (whether they mean to or not) and the game will be much more exciting.

How does speculating in who has been picked for sertain roles make it any less exiting? Especially in this case where the mod is fea. . . she is cunning, I doubt that any of us would be able to guess who has the different roles.

I just really like that aspect of the game. . .not that it is that much a part of the game, I am seldome change my vote because of it. Still I find the speculation ejoyable.

I do find all specualtion enjoyable... and with this as starters we might be sure that we have no way of saying whether Fea will pick the baddies or not... and this discussion will continue in the game...

So nice that you asked this Fea! Now we will think about this in-game as we might not have done that otherwise or we might have dropped that discussion down a bit anyhow...

Sneaky you!
