You are not the only one who will be doing that. There's no way I'm going to wake up and mess around at 6 in the morning, still half asleep trying to decipher what happened during (my) night.

And I believe there's more of us... so whoever wants to make the last minute mayhems, I daresay the Europeans probably are not participating It's for everyone to choose whether it's for good or bad for the rest...

Wait...I'm really confused. Are we only doing 12 hour Days/Nights? If so, my participation may be limited...

I hope not.

Gil, maybe you should make some brief, easily accessible and transparent table of the main rules, saying the final word about when the deadline is, what are the objectives for everyone etc. Looks that with the slow beginning and the confusion around, along with the constant changes with the postponing the start of the game, many things are quite hazy.

I do agree with Legate here.

Although my optimistic view is that Gil only started the game in advance (the first Night was only twelve hours) but from now on we will have 24-hour cycles. *thumbs up*

I mean: I'm not going to vote within 1½ hours before I go to sleep as I will trust that the Day lasts 24 hours (otherwise the deadline would be 6AM to which I'm not going to wake up to read and vote before it).

Really, guys, what is this, three games in a row now?

If it makes you happy, I'll never make another in-character post.

Honestly, I expected better.

At least I posted. I was really looking forward to this game, and to be executed first (for the third time in a row) because of a prior commitment really stinks.

i know how it feels, my first WW game i was bandwagoned on by Mormegil, and Morm didn't mean too, he just asked me a question and everyone voted me. so don't feel too sad.
