I don't mind being in just one game, or being in both. Whatever works out best. (Great idea, by the way!) But either way, I want to try writing a sentence this time!

Great stuff, and yea, count me in for the next game.

I think running two simultaneously is not a big deal, if the Mod can manage it (and not mix up two games together), of course it's very likely one of the games will eventually become faster than the other - but that's actually better, so that we aren't "overstuffed" when the horror is revealed. The only thing is hoping that it won't come to a player drawing/writing two things at the same time, but that will anyway depend on luck and on how much the two PTs' lengths spread...

I don't think that will be a problem. There's always an opportunity to switch places with someone in the list, unless you're the last one in both games.

Oh, I guess I should sign up for this, too!

The two at once might be difficult to manage and you'll have to be REALLY careful.

If we can keep several going around a room of (mostly) drunk people, this might not be too bad.

Any emails or PMs I send will be clearly marked GAME ONE and GAME TWO, and will have everyone label their replies to me likewise.

I'll give say, a week before we start, unless we get a stampede.
