I don't care either way about traditional night lengths or 12-hour nights.

Given that there's only one gifted with the potential to reveal him/herself, I suppose that double lynchings will be acceptable in this game.

Whatever you want, Valesse.

NO Double-Lynchings.

I cannot say, after Nilp's game, how strongly I dislike them. I disliked them on principle before that, but I have a personal issue with them now.

I prefer Non-Retractable votes, I think, but I don't really care.

24/12 cycles are fine with me... though I'd opt for the 24/24 version if given the choice.

If I get of the fence, preferred option is 24/24, retractable votes and no double lynchings but I uphold on principle the divine right of moderators

Don't suppose TP would honour us with his rather fabulous presence ?

Just a couple of ones:

- If we have only 10 villagers and one gifted, should there respectively be only two wolves? Otherwise the villagers are in quite a desperate position to begin with - not helped by the double-lynch option (three argumentative wolves, 1/3 of the population after the first kill) will be just happy to dance others to double-lynchings?

Currently the "Magic hour" is set to be 3 o'clock CST (2 EST and so on.) Please remember: With the abbreviated nights that would mean that some days will start ante meridiem, and others will start post meridiem.
I understand well the last part of this, but if someone has any clear and instant knowledge about what 3CST / 2EST are in GMT, I would appreciate it. Everyone can see the GMT from their BD window, but we Europeans will have to make a net search to find the CST/EST. (Sorry for being lazy with this)

- If three wolves, then:
-- double lynchings
++ retractables

- If two wolves, then anything goes

- Looking nice indeed! Just waiting for the starting whistle!

That's what I had to do, too.

3 CMT = 9 GMT (+6)

That's 11 where I live and 11 or 12 where you live (depending on whether you have Daylight Saving Time in Finland)

Valesse, as I am out of Cailin's game, I have time to join yours. So, if there is room (and you allow me to), I would like to play. Is that all right with you?

Don't know if they have daylight saving, otherwise EST is GMT +5 so 2 EST would be 9 GMT

So 9GMT is the deadline. Good. (It's 12 here with the daylight savings). No problem.

Thanks Macalaure!

Um, 3pm CST is 4pm EST, not 2... and EST is currently at -4 GMT because of DST, so it's 8 GMT, not 9. (CST is currently at -5 GMT)

I vote

-- Double lynchings

++ LIMITED rectractables (as in, 1 per day)

As for the shortened night, it might be unfair to the wolves to have one it they are in drastically different timezones, so

++ 24/24 days/nights

Also, Nogrod, keep in mind that you still have a gifted who could reveal at anytime- the wolves would be terribly disadvantaged if the seer came out in the beginning and then there was only one against 7. It's be just about impossible to win at that point, and really it's no fun to win if your opponent can claim the set up was against them from the start. (I speak from experience on this.)

Valesse has just left Hobbiton.
Why, Glirdan, of course you are welcome to play!

As of -right now- it seems like the consensis is 24/24 schedule with no double lynching and retractable votes.

Arg! I was even thinking "4, not 2" when I posted that. My brain just got befuddled with the numbers.

Nogrod: If by the end of the day I can get at least two more players, there will definitely be three wolves, if not I'm going to be tapping on Mith's standing and playing Eru. (I.E.: flipping a coin .)
