So did you decide on a start time for all this Volo or did I miss it? like when and for how long will day0 last and then when and for how long does each day/ and or night in stage 1 last and lastly stage 2. I need to know the time of day we will be playing, so I make sure I'm here.

So I also gather that Day 0 will be just an open day for everyone to chat, with no voting and no lynch, giving whatever three start day1 phase 1, something to talk about?

What you write is completely up to you. I seem to remember a game where voting wasn't officially a part of the discussion and didn't have anything to do with the lynch, but people voted anyway...

Since we still lack two players we can't start tomorrow, which was the planned starting time, but it can't be helped. But I'm pretty sure that we'll start quite early next week.

The structure of the game (with 18 players):
(Note: A day is 24h. A Day is a phase of the game, when people may discuss in the thread.)

1. day: Day0.0 (Everybody may post in the thread. No lynch. Wolves don't know who the other wolves are.)
2. day: Day0.1 (Three players may post in the thread. Lynch.)
3. day: Day0.2
--
8. day: Night1 (Wolves are told who the other wolves are. Wolves may not attack. Gifteds may act. Stage2 rules count from now on, unless said otherwise.)
9. day: Day1 (Everybody may post in the thread. Lynch.)
10. day: Night2 (Wolves may attack.)
11. day: Day2
--

Pretty much. You will know your own roles by then.

I'll come up with some kind of 'bio' after work today. Volo, I know the start Day is still a little up in the air, but do you have a start time yet?

I agree with Naria, I need to know what time of the day we will be starting, the later the better for me, I'm afraid. somewhere around 6pm CST would be great, but whatever works...works.

Question Why can't I remember all my questions at the same time?

Are you going to tell us how many gifteds there are of each sort?

I take it that Innocent means ordo here?

So that's 2 pm CST I think.

edit: I just remembered... Last night I had a dream (or was it a nightmare?) I was chosen to be a cobbler here.

What? A cobbler? I never heard of such a thing

However I have to voice my appreciation of the Day 0.0 - it will be much more interesting and better to play the subsequent Days on Stage 1 then. We learn how you sorted us out after Day 1, I presume, Volo? (sorry if it is written somewhere and I overlooked it, it is all very long...)

This is getting more and more interesting, given who are playing.

Ok, if one more player joins soon, we'll start the game tomorrow, otherwise, we'll have to wait for the following day and hope.

The deadline/start time is 8PM GMT, like Aganzir kindly pointed out. It's 10PM for me and I don't think that I can physically manage a later time, since I couldn't find the motivation to use this weekend for sleeping and neither will I for the next one. Sorry.

Innocent is an ordo and nothing else.

I'm not sure of what you mean here, but I suppose you like the way the Days are planned at the moment. Am I correct?

What do you mean by being sorted out?


Sorry for having different parts of rules around the place, I try to keep everything important in the first post.

Yes, you are correct. And by sorted out, I mean when we are going to learn when we play and with whom on Stage 1.

Ok, that is an important question. I think I'll start already now because otherwise the start will be put even further. Thanks for reminding me!

Ok, I have Days chosen. I'll be sending PMs telling when you are playing on stage1. Please reply me as fast as you can and tell me if the Day is ok or would some other work better.

Do not reveal the Day to anybody! Not here, not in RL, not in the game-thread.

If the starting time of the game moves forward, I'll try to move your Day to the same weekday next week.

Example:

Day0.0 - starts on the 14th (Mon) at 8PM GMT
Day0.1 - starts on the 15th (Tue) at 8PM GMT - Brinniel, THE Ka, Shastanis Althereduin
Day0.2 - starts on the 16th (Wed) at 8PM GMT - satansaloser2005, Aganzir, McCaber
Day0.3 - starts on the 17th (Thu) at 8PM GMT - Nogrod, Legate of Amon Lanc, The Might
Day0.4 - starts on the 18th (Fri) at 8PM GMT - Thinlómien, Valier, Groin Redbeard
Day0.5 - starts on the 19th (Sat) at 8PM GMT - Meneltarmacil, Kath, Gil-Galad
Day0.6 - starts on the 20th (Sun) at 8PM GMT - Roa_Aoife, Naria, [the player we miss]

-->

Day0.0 - starts on the 15th (Tue) at 8PM GMT
Day0.1 - starts on the 16th (Wed) at 8PM GMT - satansaloser2005, Aganzir, McCaber
Day0.2 - starts on the 17th (Thu) at 8PM GMT - Nogrod, Legate of Amon Lanc, The Might
Day0.3 - starts on the 18th (Fri) at 8PM GMT - Thinlómien, Valier, Groin Redbeard
Day0.4 - starts on the 19th (Sat) at 8PM GMT - Meneltarmacil, Kath, Gil-Galad
Day0.5 - starts on the 20th (Sun) at 8PM GMT - Roa_Aoife, Naria, [the player we miss]
Day0.6 - starts on the 21st (Mon) at 8PM GMT - Brinniel, THE Ka, Shastanis Althereduin

-->

Day0.0 - starts on the 16th (Wed) at 8PM GMT
Day0.1 - starts on the 17th (Thu) at 8PM GMT - Nogrod, Legate of Amon Lanc, The Might
Day0.2 - starts on the 18th (Fri) at 8PM GMT - Thinlómien, Valier, Groin Redbeard
Day0.3 - starts on the 19th (Sat) at 8PM GMT - Meneltarmacil, Kath, Gil-Galad
Day0.4 - starts on the 20th (Sun) at 8PM GMT - Roa_Aoife, Naria, [the player we miss]
Day0.5 - starts on the 21st (Mon) at 8PM GMT - satansaloser2005, Aganzir, McCaber
Day0.6 - starts on the 22nd (Tue) at 8PM GMT - Brinniel, THE Ka, Shastanis Althereduin

--> and so on, next step would be that Noggie, Legate and Might move to the 21st and sally, Aganzir and McCaber move to the 23rd.


EDIT: A stupid mistake I made here and otherwhere. 20:00 is 8PM, not 20PM whatever that is.

That means....*does math* 4pm my time. okey dokey. although....i'm internetless from 1pm-6pm every day (blasted job) and thus i'd have to vote semi-early most of the time. which is probably just as well, because that way I don't end up being post happy toward the end like in the last games.

So....I'm going to go finish up my bio real quick like. Hopefully (if I don't fall asleep that is) I'll post it sometime later tonight.

Three things:

My inbox in now empty, sorry for that.

Zali, we welcome you as the savior! We shall start today!

In the PMs I sent and otherwhere I said 20PM, which is a stupid mistake. What I meant is 20:00 or 8PM.

Oh yes, I almost forgot...I still need to get my bio done. When did you need that by? I'll write one up as soon as I find the opportunity.

P.S. Volo, your PM box is full.

EDIT: Just X-ed with you Volo...sorry.
