Okay, either we get fifteen people over this weekend or I'm starting Night One this Sunday at 5:00 Eastern Daylight time with whoever's signed up by then. I'm getting just as tired of waiting around as you all are.
EDIT: I'm also going to PM a few people, as has been suggested earlier.

And try to send some persuasive PMs to likely candidates for playing, it really helped last time (speaking of personal experience... otherwise I wouldn't be probably even here today!)
EDIT: Seems like I crossed with your editing, or is that you so quickly took my advice? ![]()

Question: Why do I have an asterisk by my name on the list?
![]() I'm glad to see we'll be taking a break for Easter. It'll actually have no huge affect on me (except for the fact I might be doing my film shoot that weekend), but as I suspected, it can be a conflict for many others. Oh yes, do PM as many members as possible...I'd love to see more players join before we start..

Sorry, it should have been on Lommy's name. I've gone back and edited it.

Hmm. When you say you're starting "This Sunday" does that mean tomorrow? If so, I'm in.
And if I'm in, my profession shall be Baker. We all need baked goods, otherwise society would collapse. |

tgwbs has been added, bringing the number of players (not including the moderator) to 13.
Sign-ups will be closed starting Sunday morning at 12:00 AM Eastern time (I won't make a post then though). Roles will be sent out between then and 5:00 PM Eastern time, and Night One will begin at 5. You may still choose occupations until then, though if you don't have one by Night One, I'll make one up for you. Good luck... (sounds of thunder, lightning, and creepy music)

Well, looks like I'll be making a post after all.
Sign-ups for this game are now officially CLOSED. Night 1 begins at 5:00 PM Eastern time. Roles will be sent between now and then. If you don't choose an occupation by then, I'll choose one for you. As for myself, my occupation will be Time Traveler from the Future.

Well, I suppose I should choose a career, then. Confusticate and bebother it, I'm always late for everything, but this time, I'll be ahead of the game. In honor of one of my favorite celebs, I am the "anachronistic motion capture actor". I have absolutely nothing to do, since motion capture won't be invented for several ages yet, but I get to wear a nifty gimp suit and dots on my face.
Let's hunt some werewolf! |

I shall be something simple and useful for a change (unless Menel has chosen something more exotic ).
I shall be a potter.

Wow. My internet has been down for almost a week, and I was seriously worried I'd missed Day 1 and been killed for it...

Well, I am on Daylight Savings Time here in the U.S., so the transition will be at 9:00 PM GMT. GMT -5 is Eatern Standard Time, while Daylight Savings Time is GMT -4. If you're on GMT +1, it's a 5-hour difference though.
With people from Europe and even Australia around in addition to myself in the eastern USA, it seems the sun never sets on this game...

P.S. It would be good if Menel also posted the correct time of deadline, because from what is up there I am kinda confused. I thought Menel, as well as most of us (confused Europeans) is on Daylight saving time, so the time difference is still the same, so our time is just Menel's +5/+6 (CET).

According to the time on Menel's last Day One-post, 1 hour 25 minutes should be left.

Menel, do you have anything in mind concerning the removal of players who don't show up?
Will they be removed by you or is it our job to - "care" - for them? edit: 1000th post!! *faints* |

I live in Boston, and therefore go by EST. Right now it is 4:00 on the dot, so I can guarantee you, we have one more hour.

This Day phase ends in one hour. I'm not entirely certain what the relationship is between different time zones, but the Day will end in one hour.
I don't really have a policy on no-shows. If you don't want them around, go ahead and send them to the gallows.

Glirdan, as funny as that was, you're dead. Please do not post on these threads until after the game.
Still, you are officially a Fenris Wolf now.

Sorry about not being around until the last minute - somehow, amid all the discussion of time zones, I got the impression the day ended at 7! I don't know why...it's especially imbecilic on my part because I'm actually in the same time zone as Menel, so there should have been no problem.

Actually, I had so much trouble getting to the Barrow-Downs yesterday that I had to wait a while before I posted the "start of day" message. I tried to make it clear in that message that I was late, but I guess I should have made it clearer. So it's kind of my fault as well, Rikae.

Don't worry, Menel, it wasn't you...I think I somehow got the difference between Pacific time & EST mixed up with the difference between EST and GMT, calculated from GMT and added an hour for daylight saving - or something equally convoluted. This might make more sense considering I may have been on my 3rd glass of "hard Gollum juice"* when I read about it.

I'm having so many noobish moments.
Anyway, with the "He's not posting, he's evil" argument... hmm, no real immediate rebuttal, just a greater show of activity in future times. Luckily, I'm not powerful, so if I get mauled, all the more chance for the rest of the innocents to find the WW's without risking important players. So go ahead, maul me before you maul a dreamer or someone powerful... Part of the reason I'm not very active right now is the extremely different style of play here from most places were I play WW; I'm still getting used to gameplay here. Now to go analyze how much people post in each thread; that's an interesting but almost useless statistic which everyone must record. ![]() |

Psst, Xyzzy....
Save rebuttals and accusations for the game thread. Right now the admin thread is for strictly out of game issues- such as schedule problems that require you to be away from the game for a while, etc. We strictly ban references to roles, etc, on this thread. We don't discuss what's happening in the game thread except on the game thread and only during Day phases. You'll know when the Day starts, because Menel will post on the game thread, letting us know what happened during the night. Perhaps you should PM Menel with how you usually play werewolf, and he can help you figure out where it's different.

How exactly is the pause going to be? Are we going to play day2 before easter or not? And on which day, Monday or Tuesday, will we continue? I'm slightly confused...

Day Two will begin about 9 hours from now. The pause will come at the end of that Day, and will end 5:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (that's 10:00 for GMT +1, these timezones are driving me crazy, people being from at least 6 different countries and all...) on Monday with Night 2.
