I assume that Rikae may also be occupied over the US thanksgiving period so unless you are saved at the eleventh hour you will be at my tender mercies.

Unless you hear otherwise (IE Rikae or a guest mod says she can take over), PLEASE assume that day will end at its proper time and you will have to wait till a more civilised time im my part of the world to get the result. I will try to drag my sorrycarcass to the library when it opens at 9.30 - which will be quite an achievement for me on a Saturday so you won't be kept in suspense too long

Since Fea ruled that sports discussion is out, I assume Mith will be booted for insulting football on the thread?

And since I cannot respond to her there, I must respond to her here.

We shouldn't be upset with her, Boro. We should've remembered that many of those living across the pond prefer the less tactical/technical/intelligent sort of games where you just run around and bash into people. In American football there are hundreds of plays which can be run out of multiple formations against the opposition who could be running any of hundreds of various rush and zone schemes.

American football is like a mix of rugby and chess- far too cerebral for the likes of Mith. It ought to be clear that the game is more intelligent due to the fact that the American players are smart enough to wear protective equipment- which is necessary of course seeing as they're generally bigger and faster and hit harder.

American football is intelligent? Compared to the real football which all the people in the world are intelligent enough to cherish outside the US.? Now give me a break!

What does it tell that someone "intelligent-enough" guy up there thought one should call a game where the ball is mainly carried by hand or thrown with hand - and where you basically just ram on others with your body-weight - "football"? In real FOOTball it's penal to take the ball into one's hands or just punching others down.

Someone said that as long as football (not the American masked-violence) is the most favourite global sport the humanity has hope: slow game, pure tactics and aesthetics, maybe even goalless games - but the beauty, the skill, the drama, the eloquence of movement, the tactics, the love, the passion...

(Bah, I'm not that great a football fan, but couldn't resist that)

Balderdash. Both the Phantom and Noggin are wrong. I could rebut this point by point using my clearly substandard 143-155IQ but I think 2 words could be enough Jonah Lomu.

Mithalwen · 11-22-2008, 06:14 AM

Those concerned are fully entitled to take their full time but if I get the night choices in time - ie before about 9pm GMT I can post the start of the day early. Otherwise you will have to hope that Rikae can bail you out again or wait for me and I could be some time. Please PM choices to us all.
Many thanks

Rikae · 11-22-2008, 08:51 AM

I'll be here to start the Day toNight, so make sure you get your night choices to me, folks.
Mith, that's a great narration, you could have put it in the thread, you know - I just thought I'd better mark the deadline, but assumed you or Fea would want to say more.

That and the wretched library computer.

I'll go move it.

Nogrod · 11-22-2008, 04:31 PM

I just watched Godfather II from the tv (I have seen it only once before and that was a long time ago).

What a pice of werewolf-game that was!

Have fun everyone!

Brinniel · 11-25-2008, 05:22 PM

Any chance there will be a break in the game sometime during this holiday week?

I don't know about the other Americans, but I'm leaving town tomorrow for Thanksgiving to visit family and won't be back until Monday afternoon. I should have internet access, but don't expect a whole lot of activity from me since I don't get to see my family very often.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-27-2008, 06:57 PM

Hi guys. I'm checking in to apologize profusely for the fact that I honestly believed I'd have unmitigated internet access between last Friday and this coming Sunday. And then I didn't, and I still really don't because the computer I'm on right now is effectively off limits to me for most of the next two days (Sunday I'm back).

Here are some options as I can think of them, without having caught up on the game thread since last Friday when I went unexpectedly off-radar:

My favorite: we can pause the game until Sunday so the Americans can sleep off their turkey and travel and I can stop making my co-moddesses do all the work (I feel guilty).

Another option: you guys can keep muddling through (I just sort of assume there's a little muddling, not due to anybody incompetance but due to Mith's timezone and Rikae's being rather busy and all) without me.

I have full faith that y'all could get on fine without any interference from me, but I do feel absolutely awful that I ended up dumping a week of work on my co-mods without warning.

I owe them my life, really.

Let me know. I'll try to sneak on early tomorrow to see responses.

I hate not having my own computer right now.

Again, sorry I've deserted you all... I owe you big time.

Nerwen · 11-27-2008, 07:18 PM

I'm happy to pause the game.

If the living players decide to keep the game going, I'd be happy to assist. (Or at least call the days' end for you.) I know I've never modded on here before but if you need the help the DL is at a really good time for me and I've got the entire weekend off. Let me know~!

Oh, and to all you Americans: Happy Thanksgiving!

Brinniel · 11-27-2008, 10:25 PM

If the game doesn't end toDay, a pause would be nice...even preferably until Monday. Of course, the moment I get back from vacation is when crunch time begins for school project due dates, but at least I wouldn't have to worry about WW during the holiday. I honestly don't really care to participate much when I'd rather spend what little time I have with my family.

Thinlómien · 11-28-2008, 03:26 AM

Whatever is okay with me.

Btw, where's our narration and results?

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-28-2008, 09:42 AM

Okay. I vote we go on break until Sunday night, when I promise I'll make everything make all kinds of sense again. That way game commitment doesn't conflict with family commitments.

Kath · 11-28-2008, 10:57 AM

A break would actually be fantastic for me because I was just about to say that I'm going to be really time-limited until Sunday afternoon so I'm good with this.

satansaloser2005 · 11-28-2008, 12:25 PM

Cool with me. Glad everything's working out!

*goes back into the shadows, ne'er to return....at least until the game's finished*

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-30-2008, 04:34 PM

Okay, so I've read through everything I've missed and intend to resume the game tonight at 11pm EST ('downs time).

I'm currently tying up a few loose ends.

See you guys on the thread later!

the phantom · 12-08-2008, 04:45 PM

Go ahead and post it, Fea. Whenever you're ready. Then we can all post on the thread again.
