I do agree we certainly could use some mods. However...that would be the job of the gifteds (who are in this game equal to moderators). So unfortunately, a mod cannot be used as a character role..

Aww...pity.

I have before considered not starting the game until the 7th. Mainly because as mentioned, it's the 4th of July holidays coming up and many Americans go out of town. But since the holidays have no effect on me and plenty of people are signing up, the need to do that is looking less and less likely. If enough people petition to delay the game by a week I will, but otherwise I'll plan to start it on the 1st.

Oh, you should join.

As for deadlines, some seem to want it earlier and others later. Unfortunately, I can't actually confirm a deadline just yet since if my unemployed status changes, my time availability could too. But if everyone would like to share their deadline preferences, both within the time range I chose as well as beyond, that would at least give me a better idea for a more exact deadline to aim for.

I probably will, but only if the deadline is AFTER I get off work this time. Last time I got off work at the same time as DL and it drove me nuts. Heh.

I'll let you know for sure probably some time later this week or so. Besides, I need to come up with a good character.

Well, Nogrod, maybe you could be an ex-mod, who wants to gain his modship back. Or someone who really wants to be a mod.

I would prefer the deadline to be 9pm gmt, but I guess I'm fine even with a later one.

The deadline makes no difference to me, and neither does the 4th, pesky American though I may be.

Of course I do. He had Finnish ancestry and taught woodworking classes at his local vocational school when he wasn't reading his stories to the ducks at the park (lonely single old geezer that he was). Sheesh - everybody knows that!
Also, as someone mentioned further up the thread, Melkor was fat. And ate wax.
(Melkor, of course, was originally one of the ducks.)

You said it, Volo. I think Nienna sang two notes about this, one for each of us.

*loves Shasta* I'm happy you're here to translate. I don't speak annoying fangurl very well. All I know how to say is "Squee!" and since that's the same in every language it doesn't really count....

Wonderful job of translating my every word into something understandable and readable, Shasta. I know it's tough separating real syllables from the rest of the gobbledygook, but you do it beautifully. My compliments.
