Thumbs up

Cool! Welcome, Boro, Zil, Sally and Kath!

This means we have 15-16 players depending whether G55 can make it or not + possible late sign ups. (How does it look, Gal? It would be awesome if you can play, but we understand schedule issues.)

I say, if we have 15 players, let's have a cobbler, but if we have 16 or more, let's have 4 wolves (or wizards, as they will be called in this game). I don't remember when there last was a game with 4 wolves! (Then again, I haven't really been around lately to be honest.)

This means we can start the game with Night1 on Sunday at 10 pm GMT. Anybody lurking out there can still sign up until we say you can't.


PS. Thanks to whoever gave me the mysterious and lazily typed rep for this thread.

That is what it seems to me, however my math isn't foolproof. But I think so. For confirmation, the DL is simply about 50 minutes from the timestamp of this post.

Indeed. That makes it 5 pm EST, and 4 pm in Sally land. That is absolutely perfect.

10 pm GMT is perfect for me, as I am GMT-5.

Doesn't look good at all. Schedule's filled up for about a week.

That would be Nerwen's Where the Stars Are Strange, if I remember correctly. Long time ago!!!

Well, with relatively big amount of players, the game of course might take longer, so if it was even remotely possible for you to participate during the first week, you could pick up with more momentum later on (if you were still alive). I mean, one week is three Days (resp. Nights, since we are trolls ), or four, of course depending on your schedule... But it's up to you, if you think it makes any sense. Certainly don't take it as pressure.

I am soooooooooooo tempted! I seriously don't have the time for anything extra, but I'd love to play since I didn't play all autumn.. If slightly limited participation is okay you can count me in if there's still room. Who cares about studying anyway.

I think that if I would participate, I would have to give up on sleep altogether. I'm coming home ridiculously late because of work and extracurriculars, and my schoolwork leaves me a precious little time to spare.

I'll try to follow the game as much as I can, though.

That's the word of a man! Erm... well, you get the point. So I take it as "yes"

Then definitely don't overdo it. But you can watch and root for the teams

So just to make everyone know, in case you might've overlooked it in the thread, the game will start in 24 hours from now (with a Night phase, as usual... resp. Day, since trolls are active during night, and it's the day-time when they are being slaughtered, as we all know But anyway, it will be the plotting-time for the Wizards, as usual). We will send you roles shortly before the start, and you can also expect the rules being posted up here in the first post for easy reference and clarification.

The rules and the roles have been edited into the first post. Sign ups are still open until an hour or two before the deadline and if we happen to get a player or two more, a cobbler will be added to the game. Otherwise the rules and the roles are not going to change.

Since everyone will not be reading the rules anyway I'm saying here that there will be four wolves in the game since we have 17 players at the moment.
