Gah...

A 1:00 am EDT deadline is 11:00 pm here... which is entirely too workable... and a game that doesn't start until Monday or Tuesday doesn't interfere with my long weekend sans Internet... and if it actually starts thenish, it should be over or I'll be dead with time to spare ere the Fall resumes... and lots of cool 'Downers are playing...

le sigh...

Fine. I shall play too--provided the game starts no later than Thursday next week. If it does, I have to back out.

Let's see... ten years out of 'Downer High? I'm stuck in academia... eating Kraft Dinner out of soup cans trying to finish my Doctorate in Inane Uselessness.



P.S. This game also happens to have no Nog... I think I shall feel like a Lover without his other half...

This is probably not the best joke but I will still go for it.

Formy, I can become your new other half for the time being. I am sure I can fill in for Nog. I hope I can. Again this is a bad joke.

You're much too kind.

As much as I appreciate your generous offer, perhaps it's best I don't accept. It would be nice to get through Day 1, at least, without having a nemesis. It'd be a novelty, anyway.

Formie, I saw that you were playing and my exact words were, "Formie? No. Way." They were followed by a small (because I'm so dern tired) squee.

(By the way, I loved the letter I got from you! I started a reply but promptly lost it, so you likely won't receive anything in response because I'm a lazy bum.)

Again, today and tomorrow are why I have a co-mod who is amazing as life went "hahahaha you want to have internet fun? Have work!"

As it is looking right now, I'm thinking of maybe cutting sign ups at Friday, sending out roles on Saturday, and starting Sunday night maybe. I shall have to talk this over with people but I'm thinking that is what might happen as I would like to be here for close of the first Day(and not paying for internet in a stupid airport).

Thanks everyone for signing up so far!

Hmm, and those are some pretty powerful gifteds there....
Yes they are, but I also tried to counter that. And yay you're playing!

Aw, I feel like that is a very nice compliment, about my game being awesome. And you are on the list, and don't worry about it possibly starting Sunday night, you will have all of Monday to work on it.

Could I be the computer geek who keeps to herself and nobody really knows?

Looks like it's going to be a GREAT game! Thanks for putting it up Lari and Mira.

I'm interested in playing, though between work, interning, and a social life (yes I do have one now), my participation will be minimal. Which means don't expect any sort of long analysis posts from me.

Can I second that request for the game not to start until later in the week? I'm being temporarily kicked out of my apartment Monday through Friday and will have to share a computer for the time being. If you do start earlier, I guess I wouldn't have to back out, but don't plan on seeing anymore than one to two posts per Day from me.

So if you'll have me, I'm in...as the goth kid everyone's afraid of, of course. I love playing dark and scary.
