It's actually complex for me - and to certain extent to the wolves. To others it should be fairly simple... just play your role and hope for the best with all you have.

But yes, I like it too.

That depends on you guys as how fast you join. I'd hope we could start within a week... hopefully earlier.

There will be those. After we have discussed what needs to be discussed I will post the final rules into the first post of this thread so there is an easy access to them.

Silly Sally signing up, sir. Sort of.

(Aka put me down with a question mark. Deadline's a bit rubbish for me, but I'll definitely think it over.)

Hakon · 09-14-2009, 01:22 PM

I'm in. I can make that deadline work although with school and my timezone I will have only about an hour and a half each day and on Tuesdays I won't be able to get on before deadline at all.

Nogrod · 09-14-2009, 02:02 PM

Sally & Hakon: Would an hour more (or less) help you with the DL?

One rule-clarification I realised I hadn't made but have thought of already (well, subject to substantial criticism).

If you don't like your Captain one of you should say it out aloud during a Day. When someone makes a no-confidence vote the position is open to a general vote. If half of the village gives their votes (in case of uneven villagers the smaller number is enough) the votes will be counted and the one getting most votes will be the Captain. In a case of a tie the old one continues. If less than half of the village votes there will be no change in leadership.

I thought we should not automatically vote for the Captain every Day for a few reasons. First of all it would complicate the game if you'd have to think about that and vote for it every Day. Secondly it relates better to the real life where changing leaders requires someone to have a nerve to stand up and declare his unhappiness with the current leadership...

Oooh, the rangers game! I wouldn't dare miss it. Sign me up, but I'll make this disclaimer right off the bat: the semester has started, and although I'm committed to participating and being as helpful (or appearing to be, mwahaha) as I can, I may not be quite the flood-poster I was during the summer. I might even make a rule for myself to only post after a certain time each day or so, just to make sure I keep up with my schoolwork. I hope that's ok. I've been looking forward to this game!
I'll do my best to get Mac on board, too...

Hakon · 09-14-2009, 02:20 PM

If the deadline is an hour later it works great for me.

Nogrod · 09-14-2009, 02:40 PM

Nice to see you Rikae - and hope you'll persuade Mac in as well!

Hakon: postponing the DL for one hour means 1AM to me. I'm ready to make it if there are several people who would gain with it. You're counted as number one right now. Let me hear of you others... to whom would 10PM GMT mean a real possibility of taking part at the end of the Day?

Inziladun · 09-14-2009, 02:48 PM

2200 GMT would come during my workday, so it would be hit or miss whether I could be around at DL. I could deal with it, though.

I suppose making it an hour hour earlier would not help it?

Maybe we'll allow for some retractables for those who are not sure if they can meet the deadline? Like three in the whole game or something... Thence you could vote earlier and then if you had a chance to come in afterwards you could change it for a limited number of times. (Sure if there are retrackies anyone could use them then... not only those who have problems with the DL.)

And as said earlier: no double-lynches. In a case of a tie the Captain decides...

Also, even if I'm an ardent supporter of modfires with people who don't participate when playing myself, I'd think it against the Ranger-mentality to make any modfires. That's a bunch of battle-hardened ruffians who would rely on each other to hold their posts and if they won't then it's up to the gang to decide...

Although I would suggest that anyone not willing to contribute should not join the game... to be fair to others if for nothing else.
