I did not think that this would be up for another week. . .I hope I am not too late!

Anyways I did not see any deadline for signing up, so I hope there is room for little me.

Rikae 05-09-2007 03:42 PM

Good to see you decided to join! No, there's no deadline; go ahead and let me know what occupation you want!

Diamond18 05-09-2007 07:06 PM

Hmmmm... I may have time, considering the game starts on the 14th. Put me down as a Maybe, please.

I shall be the lady in charge of Wigs and all other False Hairpieces.

Rikae 05-09-2007 07:26 PM

All right! :D

Drat... ;)

Rikae... Please update my role, I'm a bit paranoid here...

Mithalwen 05-10-2007 05:48 AM

Lobelia?!!!!! I don't do hobbits gah ..and I'm far too tall ... can I be Ioreth instead if I am going to be an old bag.... :p

Rikae 05-10-2007 07:57 AM

Sorry, Volo, I missed your post. Es tut mir leid!*

OK, everybody make sure you have your final occupatinos, so I can get to work on ideas for narrations *cough*Rune*cough*!

Regarding the deadline: how does 7pm GMT grab everybody?

*Yeah, she's practicing her German on the admin thread.

So give him Frodo if he doesn't show up, so that Volo&Agnazir have some fun...

7PM GMT... *imagines the clock* Yeah, that could be a very good time.

Rikae 05-10-2007 08:11 AM

I've updated the initial post with some rules and such.

I'd ideally like to have two more players before we start...c'mon, people!!! See what Rikae mods? It is young, it is tender, it is nice! Sign up! Sign up! :D

Hmm... New rule. See to this everybody, that we don't waste too much time chatting about this during the game. :p


EDIT: Thanks for making Rune into Frodo. But we also want Sam!!

Anguirel 05-10-2007 09:40 AM

Mith, please be Galadriel. She was a lot older than you are and indeed is documented as having greying blonde hair, to such an extent that half of it seemed to be silver...

Besides, you know you want to...

Rune Son of Bjarne 05-10-2007 09:45 AM

I suppose that it is an alright deadline, but you should know that I have taken a lot of extra shifts and that means that most days I will have to leave a few hours before deadline.


and I must agree with Ang. if Mith is being an old woman, she might as well be a Galadriel.

Shastanis Althreduin 05-10-2007 10:25 AM

7PM GMT..... I can't figure out what time that is in Central. I'm a dunce. :(

I keep putting off doing my roots incase I get the Galadriel effect ;) ..how can I resist :D ..and while I would be old in 2020 to play an ingenue role(think Peggy Ashcroft playing Juliet), I would be too young for the hags..honest ...

And after last night at Drury Lane ..I am inspired....

Here it is...WW XXXIII deadline time, around the world!

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...0&sec=0&p1=136

I guess England's on summer time now, so actually it's not 7pm GMT...it's 7 pm BST. Which is:

1 pm Central.
2 pm on the East coast.
8 pm in Germany.
9 pm in Finland.
and 4 am in Australia (sorry, Sixth...)

Will that work for everybody?

Legate of Amon Lanc 05-10-2007 11:41 AM

It's really, really very nice, says Germany... this means I will be probably always already at home at the DL and also still well awake to take care what's going on...

Question: When exactly are we starting, and with which phase (I suppose Night?), and also, are we waiting for another players, or is this number final?

Ah...yes. We wil start DAY one at 7pm BST on Monday.
I will accept new players until ...let's see...7pm BST on Sunday, but if this is all we get, I'll still go ahead with the game as scheduled.

Volo 05-10-2007 12:40 PM

It's actually 10 PM for Finland if it's 7 PM GMT...

But it is actually 7 BST...summer time, not GMT. So it's 9 in Finland...does that work OK?

Volo 05-10-2007 12:49 PM

Both are fine to me and, probably, the Finns. Just had some confusion as both GMT and BST arose there...

Shastanis Althreduin 05-10-2007 03:26 PM

1 pm... That's fine for me Monday through Friday. Don't expect me to be too active Saturday and Sunday, though, as that's Graduation.

Kath 05-10-2007 03:49 PM

Yay! BST time being worked off, means I might actually get the deadline right for once. :D And the time itself is fine for me.

Boromir88 05-10-2007 04:17 PM

I start a new job on Monday and it's got some pretty funky hours, my vote will have to be hours before the deadline.

Thinlómien 05-11-2007 12:49 AM

The deadline is fine with me. Unless I get the net access very soon, I'll still be voting about 3-5 hours before the deadline...

The Sixth Wizard 05-11-2007 03:07 AM

I hope this will not start till my Monday, because I'm off for the weekend...

Don't worry if it does - I'll be missing the start too then... ;)

Rikae 05-11-2007 04:29 AM

Sixth...yep, your Monday...at 4 am...!

EDIT: This was my 666th post! I should have said something more diabolical...

Rikae 05-11-2007 04:32 AM

Hmm...it's not good to have Lommy and Boro missing the deadline, with the vote retractions and all...

perhaps I should move it earlier? Like 4? But that would put it at 10 am Central, and 1 am Australia, and not give the rest of the people in Europe a chance to get online after work...? What shall I do?

Further clarification has just been added.

Thinlómien 05-11-2007 05:09 AM

If you ask me, just ignore me and Boro. It's just two players. (And I'm so used to it... :rolleyes: ) If you move the deadline, there will probably be more. And if I have good luck *coughNogrodifyou'rereadingthis* I might even get the net access while this game is going on, and then the current deadline would definitely be no problem.

Rikae 05-11-2007 06:01 AM

All right...final, then...I think:

NIGHT 1 will begin at 7pm BST on Sunday the 13th, and DAY one begins at 7 pm BST on Monday the 14th.
Roles will be sent out and the game thread put up on Sunday at the beginning of Night 1, and if anyone else wants to join they need to do so before that.

Thinlómien 05-11-2007 06:42 AM

Alright-y. I can't promise to be around on Day2 as it's a holiday here (so I'm at home and the libraries are probably closed).

Rikae 05-11-2007 09:28 PM

Ooops...sorry Sixth...I just realised it starts at 4 am on Tuesday, for you, not Monday.

Brinniel 05-12-2007 02:13 AM

7pm...I believe that is 12pm MST, right?

Hmm...not exactly ideal for me, as Brinn actually likes to sleep in until noon most days. But I promise I will set my alarm clock and most certainly try to be here (after all, WW is much more important than sleep!). The advantage is, until I get a second job, the deadline shouldn't interfere with work...

Boromir88 05-12-2007 08:02 AM

Ya I'm fine with the time deadlines as well. You can move it up 2 hours and it will still be early, and for me to be around for the end you would have to move the time back a good 4 hours. Where, it is now, is fine, plus I get Friday-Sundays off...so a nice big weekend. Its just Mon-Thurs where I have long strange hours.

Rikae 05-13-2007 10:24 AM

I'm getting the game thread up and your roles out slightly early because I need to go to the store & figured it was better to post it early rather than late.

The deadline time will still be 7pm BST.

Rikae 05-13-2007 11:29 AM

OK, I think everyone has their role now. If I didn't send you one, PM me.

Everybody turn yourself invisible.

Rikae 05-13-2007 11:32 AM

By the way...

Is there any way I can change the thread title? I forgot to put "Admin thread" in it.

Yes, you should be able to if you edit the first post and change its title.
