Yes! That will be around 10PM which would be perfect for me!

Edit: I don't really understand what's going on though. Are you saying that the Night will only be 12 hours long?

Granted I did just wake up so give me some time for my brain to turn on

No no no no. But this is perfect!

Basically, every Night we mods will reveal a little bit of info to the DT, in somewhat vague statements (eg "the wolves did not all vote together"). When a wolf joins the DT, we present them with 2-3 sentence options, and they get to decide which one becomes "published" on the DT. I was thinking what would be the best way to time it so that in a single Night the dead wolves have a reasonable chance to see the statements first, but the Innocent DT also has a reasonable chance to mull it over, make deductions, and possibly select a Ghost.

So if you are game for this, I can PM DeadWolves + yourself with the options, and they will have 6 hours to send you a choice. At DL+6 you will post the answer on the DT. And if for some reason you don't have an answer on time, pick one at random.

I think this timing solution works out for most time zones. Let me know if I'm actually not correct. We have until N2 to figure this out.


Edit: ...wait, hang on. That means the GMT time zone is stuck making a decision between midnight and 6am. Maybe this actually isn't the best time. Uuuugh!

Is there anyone in England that is playing? Would it be better to have a 6PM GMT deadline? That would be 8PM in Finland, 11AM in Arizona. I would give more room for discussion.

There are people from the UK. And the flip side of an earlier GMT DL is also an earlier EST DL (6pm GMT = 2pm EST = middle of workday). There is no good way of doing deadlines, is there?

Let's then leave it at DL+6h for the Dead. The real DL takes priority over the DT. If there is a dead wolf for whom this DL is inconvenient, maybe we can be a bit flexible mid-game with the timing.

Just as an FYI, I'm in Alaska right now, which is GMT-8, so a GMT 6pm deadline would be 10am for me. So we're almost as spread out as we could be, time zone wise, and I don't think there is any time that would be good for everyone!

Sign ups are closed. Roles will go out in a few minutes. Ordos, I will send you roles but it might be after the start of N1.
