Oh darlings, please don't rush on my account, I'm sure I could hang on for a few days...
How long do you think the game would go on for, Kuru? Things might get tricky for me from around July 20th, should I be spared for that long....

It could run for a full week at the absolute limit...which would probably be an absolutely awesome game...but it is unlikely that it will last that long. Probably four or five days would be a realistic expectation.

For me personally it would be better to wait until after June 30 as I've got a work trip on June 29-30 which wouldn't preclude me from posting, but would make it more difficult.

Ok. I'm in, if it's still possible to sign in - and let's hope Greenie gets her problem solved as well.

I mean who could withstand the lure of the Dueling Wizards?

Ha! See, folks, patience pays off

And yes, hopefully if we wait a bit, Greenie's account can also get sorted out.

That would be also ideal for me; I am back on the 2nd, but obviously if there is a Night 1 first, or even if there's already Day 1 before it, it should not be such a big deal (I should be able to check and make one post or whatever, just not anything very much commited until I am back).

***

Regarding the rules - which I have finally read - few random questions, Kuru:

Can a dead Good Wizard talk to dead Gifteds? (Same way as when they are alive, i.e. through you?)

What exactly happens if by some unfathomable means the Good Wizard selects the Evil Wizard as a Visitor? Will they get a message "sorry, error" or basically "ok, you didn't make a Visitor, but you scryed an Evil Wizard", or..?

And so what is the final thing about the Evil Wizard killing people? So can the Evil Wizard actually make kills alone, or are the WWs required for that?

Yes, since we don't need to start this week, sign ups are still open.

We will need to close them no later than July 7 in order to get the game rolling in time. Might end it on July 1 depending on what people think.

Since the Netherworld is kind of a dream state anyway, I think that the Good Wizard can PM the Hunter and the Ranger if they are in the Dead Thread whenever. By that point everyone will know who the Good Wizard is anyway. I will clarify that in the rules.

EDIT: This only applies to the Hunter and Ranger. The Good Wizard may not PM either Visitor.

If either Wizard tries to directly act upon the other Wizard in any way their identities are revealed. I will also clarify that in the rules.

I think the rule is going to be that the Evil Wizard can make kills once he/she has made a wolf.
