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...

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!

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


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

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...

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.

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

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?

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?

I keep putting off doing my roots incase I get the Galadriel effect ..how can I resist ..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....

If you ask me, just ignore me and Boro. It's just two players. (And I'm so used to it... ) 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.

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.

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).
