what day exactly are we planning on starting ModGod?

The instant I have 18 commited participants, I will pm roles and begin Night 1.

I lack four at this time. I've been sending out pms to fill the slots, so we'll see.

I've been out of WW for a bit and so I am not familiar with some of the newer players. If you know an experienced Werewolf player who would like to participate, let them know about the game please.

Honestly, I expect nearly everyone to fill that role.

Di my long lost wife! It's been a long time indeed!

And Eomer as well... let's just hope I'm not helping to lynch you on Day1 if you happen to be innocent again...

And anyway we seem to have a host of wolves around already before the game has begun. Sweet.

I thought to have a specific goal in this game and that is not being the one topping the who posted tally for once - with of course wishing to stay alive until the end that is. But rest assured I will be quiet only compared to my own standards.

So I could be the reticent lumberjack then.

tp: are we going to have a Christmas break of a few days or do we go on nevertheless the holidays?

Unless everyone wants to play on Christmas, I was planning on taking the day off.

But only that one day at this point.

Unless everyone wants to run the game on a 36 hour Day/Night schedule or something like that, and not take any time off but rather have more time on each Day/Night.

The important thing to me is that people will be able to post. Not that I demand that you write a book every day, of course.

I'd be for a bit longer Days and Nights. I mean in some places people have main festivities in the Christmas-eve and in some places on the actual day. If we add to that the difference of the timezones we'd really need to extend the game a bit. Just cutting one day is problematic for to some people it might be just the time they could post and then when the game presumes (or when it's still going before the break) they have no chance of posting as it's their day of festivities...

So maybe two 36-hour rounds (one Night, one Day) around Christmas eve / Christmas day? That would also nicely come back to the original deadlines after Christmas...

I will be celebrating Christmas with family on the 23rd and 25th. But I'm sure I'll be able to pop in sometime before or after, so while I won't be perching by the computer all day, that's not much different than days I have to go off to work or run errands, etc, and can't sit by the computer all day.

Howdy.

Glad to see Farael playing. He goes well with roast potatoes and honey baked parsnips, I find.

I shall be a travelling tinker.

There we go, last time I was a wolf short but now if we add you into the mix we'll be set. I WILL lynch you just to make sure you are not a wolf, so beware.

the phantom · 12-18-2007, 05:26 PM

All right. As far as ending/starting Days and Nights, here are the windows I am working with.

between 6 PM GMT and 10 PM GMT (1-5 PM EST)
or
between 4 AM GMT and 7 AM GMT (11 PM- 2 AM EST)

No matter what time we choose, it will be inconvenient for someone. I would like to know, however, if you have a strong preference or if all of those times work for you. If there is a strong lean in one direction I will favor it.

It appears we are up to 16 players now.

Just two spots left.

Heh heh...

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-18-2007, 05:51 PM

Apparently, 4 AM GMT = 10 PM CST, which is good for me, personally. I'll be on the computer more often at that time than in the middle of the afternoon.

Did I smell a whiff of paranoia?

What fun!

I'd like to be a young woman, perhaps an apprentice herbalist/healer/midwife/thing.

Rikae, do you want an apprentice? If not, that's fine, too...I can easily think up something else.

Edit: I wouldn't mind a longer day structure. I know my life gets hectic around the holidays, and I'm sure others will have their hands full with family, food, cleaning, and the like as well.

As to the time thing, I think I'd prefer the later start, as it means a later deadline for votes. I'm more likely to be free around 11 PM than I am to be around 1-5 PM, just in general...though I'm likely to be asleep from midnight on. :P
