Just to be clear about the deadline...

If a vote is marked 12:01, it is late?

Or is a vote late if it is marked 12:00?

With all reason any vote in at 12:00 should be in and any with 12:01 should be late. I think Shasta said that quite openly back there.

So ending the Day at 11.59 is a bit early I'd say... as well as ending it on 12:00. and not counting votes that are marked 12:00 as well... Not that it happened this time but for the principle.

Perhaps Shasta could clarify exactly how many posts are required from each of us in one day, then? It's absurd to apologetically list one's itinerary for the day and transfer this information into an online game. I don't want players to make game-decisions according to certain commitments of other players away from the game. Because we all have them.

In the early days we were forbidden from speaking about so-called 'RL'. When a player was unable to make it back that day he/she would tell, in game, that the tavern or the library or some other feature that could be construed as part of the village was calling. That was a nice way of doing it. But then it became fashionable to explain presence in terms outside the game, and when we are constantly being taken outside the game, we lose something.

Or is that idealism?

I'm really sorry people.
I just woke up 3 hours ago. It seems that the Black Breath (okay, maybe not that bad, but Eomer insisted it be ME-related) has got me.
It doesn't feel right voting anyone so that's all from me.

You can kill me off if you want.

If I'm still alive I'll hopefully be back toMorrow.

I might be able to make toMorrow, but maybe not.

Awwww, poor Steve. *hug* Don't fret about the game, kiddo, just get to feeling better. Hope you're back among the living....erm, dead

Downers soon.

Durelin wanted me to inform you all that she is currently unable to post/vote in Werewolf due to her college internet going down.
