When is your preferred start-date? I'd like a game over the holidays but maybe other people want to start sooner.

Durelin · 12-11-2006, 03:50 PM

Well, there is a mix...for some people, the holidays are better. For others, they need a game to start very soon. It all depends on how much interest I get really soon, I suppose.

I don't want to close sign up early, though, because I want this to be a large game.

Basically, if I get a good number of players quickly, I'm going to start the game as soon as I get "enough." If it takes longer, than I'll let sign up time be a little longer, and we might end up playing during the holidays. If a number of people are available except for on Christmas Day, then it might be possible to "pause" the game for 24 hours. We will simply have to trust our wolves to not use this time to PM among themselves (I will declare this against the rules), so they don't get any extra plotting time.

Sorry I can't really tell you more. I'm flexible, but this is a tricksy time of year, I know.

As for starting/ending times: I am in EST. If the game gets started very soon, the start/end time can be anytime between about 3:30 pm and 9:00 pm. If the game does not start for a little while, then I may be more flexible (anytime between 12:30 pm and 9:00 pm, really).

I'm in, though I miss the double lynchings.

Durelin · 12-11-2006, 04:11 PM

I do too...I'm hesitant only because that will be easy for all four of the nasties to use to their advantage.

We'll see, though.

And may I know who/what you are going to the ball as (whenever is fine, just reminding/making that clear)? Only so I have something to work with.

For old times sake I will go as a Rude Boy they wear sunglasses, is that okay?

Kath · 12-11-2006, 06:09 PM

I'll join! This definitely won't start before Wednesday so I'm good to go. I think I'll come as a butterfly, unless wilwa chooses to play in which case I will pass the mask on to her.

Durelin · 12-11-2006, 06:29 PM

Yay, welcome, Kath, morm!

morm - That's fine. Pretty much anything goes.

If that is true, then I'm in.... and I guess it IS true, 'cos it'd be rather rare if it started tomorrow

Who should I be.... hmm..... I'll go dressed as a fair looking orc.
