The Mod was displeased

"Where is my I?" boomed his voice.

The players looking at each other with fear on their eyes. They were so fearful that they even started laughing. And pointing. It was high school all over again!

------------------------------------------------------

It seems I've forgotten to add an extra I to the title. Does anyone know how to fix that?

Also, I was waiting until more people were around to set the deadline. It would probably be later-ish in the evening on North American times, as I cannot guarantee I'd be around at any other time. I'm thinking 7 or 8 PM CT (which I think is GMT-6) would work best for me. However, should we have (as it looks likely now) a large amount of European players, I might make the deadline 9 AM CT, which would be 3 PM GMT.

So, to make this fair, I'll give you folks two times and we'll see which one works better for most

First one is 7 or 8 PM CT

Second one is 9 AM CT

Also, here's the list of who has signed up so far... Let me know if I left anyone out:

Aganzir
Legate
Volo
Nogrod
Lommy
McCaber
Sally
Gwathagor (oh the wonders of copy+paste)

For a total of eight players. And of course
Roa and Farael as co-mods.

We still need at least four more people. As an incentive, for every player over 12 that signs up, I will add a number of half-werewolves who have repented from their werewolvish ways. In essence, they are just like an ordo, but with another name. However, you know you want to be a half-werewolf... so tell your friends to join in!

Yep. PM Morm to do it. The mods can change the titles of the threads. We ordinary deceased have no power over a title that we let go from our hands... They are the final GMs.

Do you mean with CT actually CST which is GMT(/UTC) -6?

That would mean in Finland either 4AM (8PM CST) or 5PM (9AM CST). So you can just guess which one we would support...
(Legate's hours are -1 to Finland so I guess he might side with us here.)

Adding Legate to the tally we have 5/8 (as far as I know) coming from these East-European time-zones... Well just recruit more Americans to shift the balance...

And anyways: traditional Werewolf on offer which everyone were waiting for. C'mon people!

Right you are.

One more thing. Please, I don't want to be disturbing, but for all further American Mods, I'd have a pleading request: I don't know how you are accustomed to count the time, but I would like to kindly ask you to try and post all times in GMT! As far as I know, GMT is worldwide-used main time (why, since it's called MAIN time), and for us Europeans, and mainly for us who are on bad terms with maths, it is terribly difficult to count anything on other terms! Surely everyone knows, or can very easily check, what his time is in relation to GMT; but I have never heard about things like CT before so I don't even know what it is and where it is used (well, I have an idea, but you got the point). I could also formulate it the way that we are lucky we don't have Asian Downers playing, though what is not now, may come in the future, and for this reason things like main time have been invented. Of course Farael did include GMT, but that is also for other people who read this (and, to be picky, even you, Farael, first wrote CT and GMT mentioned only once as a side issue and not in the main proposal of yours where it sticks out).

That will be 8 AM for me. I can be there at deadlines if that's the time. I may only post who died and then come back with a story later (after I wake up more) but I can do it.
