Write my name on the list as well, Gil, I already spoke about willing to take part in it, and I feel like fish without water without WW for such a long time. I was reconsidering my possible role, there are many opportunities in this setting; I thought about either a late-beat-generation poet or (to not forget that the 60's-80's culture is not just Western culture, whole half of the world was somewhere else!) an open-minded progressive Comrade (I thought a nasty, opportunistic bureaucratic Comrade would be maybe more fun, but I don't feel in the mood for it. But if you folks think it will be more fun with a character like that, I may as well do that.). I will make my final decision yet before we start.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot the main thing I wanted to add; I got too carried off in my thougts by pondering the role. I just wanted to say that if I am correct, we are 10 now, so if everyone plays, it's not that bad (though of course nothing to be proud of, but it should suffice). We played my WW game in 11, and (from my point of view and as far as the players have said) it was a good game anyway.

Now this is beginning to look like a proper sign up pace...

Let's be optimistic and hope it continues.

Ok, so far I think that being Susie, the daughter of a random goat herder in some far-away valley, who doesn't know a thing about popular culture, is a good idea.

At the moment I'm not too much for roleplaying, but we shall see, we shall see.

Gil-Galad · 10-08-2007, 03:17 PM

Alright we could start it soon... thought with 6 gifted and only 4 innocents, the cannon fodder list seems rather short... but i am still up for starting it...

so 5 pm GMT can be the deadline, 24 hour day and night period? or would you rather have a 12 hour deadline period? that would make the game go by faster... if so i will start it today 5 AM GMT and that day will end 5 PM...

so let me know your thoughts in the next 3-4 hours or else i will start the day today

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-08-2007, 03:52 PM

Whatever time fits you, but a 24-hour Day, definitely. Some of us might not be able to post at all during one Day, if it took only 12 hours...

Brinniel · 10-08-2007, 03:56 PM

Well, it's sad to see that interest for WW has really sort of died...a whole month since this thread went up and only 10 players? Gil, have you PMed potential players? That may help...

Please give us 24 hour day/nights...with schoolwork and other stuff, I won't be able to keep up with only 12 hours.

And Gil, I highly recommend you don't start for another few days at the soonest...if we start now, only half the players will be aware of it and we'll have a bunch of no-shows.

Macalaure · 10-08-2007, 04:26 PM

I have the sad duty to inform you that Rikae, who is currently stuck in what has to be the most stressful semester within living memory, is not going to be able to play in this game.

I'll be there to play (and I will also be able to finally come up with an occupation soon), and I second the demand for a 24h day. Hopefully we can find one or two more players before we start.

Gil-Galad · 10-08-2007, 07:06 PM

alright i can postpone it and i will make it a 24 hour period, hopefully when the 17th comes around we can either be done or have someone temp my posistion for i shall be at a concert that night...

xyzzy · 10-08-2007, 07:24 PM

Definitely 24-hour deadlines.
