Dueling Wizards Werewolf II discussion thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Nogrod · 06-01-2008, 05:35 PM

It seems the 'Downs clock is once again a bit twisted.

I sent the narration of Night1 at 11 PM GMT sharp but the thread shows it is sent at 10.56 PM GMT.

So we will follow the real time and not the 'Downs time so long as they are two different things.

I will end the Days immediately when my computer's clock turns into 11.01 PM GMT (I will have the post ready and click it in when the minute changes) and thence all the votes that have been posted before that are counted in and all those coming after it will not be counted.

I will check the rules for the wizards and make a few extra rulings on the basis of my discussions with the wizards.

I will also be sending you an airview of the village tomorrow so that you can see how the village looks like and may use it in your posts if you wish. I will myself use that in the narrations anyhow.

Good game for everyone!

I wonder if it's a sign of addiction that a few days ago I adjusted my computer clock so that it would be in accordance with the Downs clock...

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to end the days about five minutes earlier than what the Downs clock shows. It might work vice versa, but I'm afraid that this would cause people to mess up the deadline.
Wouldn't it be easier to consider the Downs time as the real one?

We'll go with the majority with this.

To me at least my computer's clock is the easiest reference as it is always there in the bottom-right corner and is guided by the operating system to be correct all the time - and changing all the time as well by itself. To find the 'Downs time you need to scroll to the bottom of your page and to refresh it everytime you need to confirm what the time is.

I'll vote for the "real time" but if the majority thinks the 'Downs time is better then I'm ready to approve of that.

Oh, by the way....I made a family chart of my own (I got super bored over the weekend), so I'll share it with everyone else. The only things missing are Morm's occupation and Eonwe's age and job.

That's nice indeed!

I will link that to the actual game thread before Day1 begins unless Roa has even better chart to bring forwards!

Just using the magnifying feature of the site makes it pretty informative and clear.

Thanks Sally!

I'll add my vote to that. I cannot tell you how many times I've missed a bloody deadline because of a mere seconds' difference between the Downs and computer clocks. Though, I don't know if everyone else has had this problem.

Also, pardon if its been already specified, but does everyone recieve a PM of their role (I mean ordos too) or do only the wolves, gifteds, GW und BW?
Thanks for any help, sorry to be a bother.

No, Sally's chart is the win. Plus I don't have anymore free time before the start of Day 1, for which I will be at least a few hours late unless my schedule suddenly changes.

Also, it's unlikely that I'll be around toward the end of each Day. Just so everyone knows.

I think it makes sense to go by the time that is actually stamped on each and every post we make. That way it will be very very easy to see which votes count and which have been cast too late.

You probably won't be able to add this, but just so people know, I'll be 22 and since Rikae hasn't said whether she's accepted me or not as an apprentice, I'll be her uofficial helper-person.

Sally- It loks really nice

A funny observation: this thread really looks like a game for itself, it's been said before, the length and such; however, now it's even closer, because we have actual voting and I found myself trying to count the votes and becoming almost as nervous as one is when actual in-game voting takes place

(And now I had the itching to post a voting list...

)

Just had a chance to listen to the blackbird recording, lovely work!
