++ 'Downs Time

Nogrod · 06-02-2008, 08:45 AM

Voting this far:

Real time deadline:
Nogrod
The Ka

'Downs time deadline:
Aganzir
tp
Gwath

The result of this vote will be enforced at the beginning of Day1 (eg. in about 6 hours) with simple majority-rule.

Sally, could you post the familychart into the actual game thread before Day1 starts? If not, then send it to me and I can embed it into some of the first posts of mine - like the one with the airview of the village (coming soon).

++real time

I only just noticed that the Downs clock is off (again...). Who knows whether it's going to be off by a constant time and the gap to real time won't change now and then (like last time). I'm for staying with real time and some lenience with posts coming in a minute late.

Durelin · 06-02-2008, 09:24 AM

Real time, please!

Legate of Amon Lanc · 06-02-2008, 10:04 AM

Indeed, real time. We can all check our own time on the computer clock and be sure it's okay, and have it clear and not make any mistake with missing the DL. It's also easier to look up the computer clock (I have never ever looked at the Downs' clock). The only thing is how the posts are marked, but that has no value. Because a) there is no need for us to care about the time at our posts, the only value we need is what time it currently is, and not what time was when X or Y posted, and we can look up the time that is on our computers; b) it's up to Nogrod, and not us, to make the mathematical operations necessary to determine which votes are past the DL or not. In the case of using Downs time, everyone of us will have to get adapted to the weird DL time; but in this case Nog simply draws a line and as a Mod, he has the veto option to say "your vote shall not pass" anyway. As long as I, you, he, she, it sees to posting in time according to my, your, his, her, its own computer time, then all of us will post in time, of course. Where's the problem?

So, shortly and simply

++real time

P.S. And oh, Sally, this is really brilliant. What a skilful girlfriend do I have

++Downs Time

I prefer seeing exactly where posts fall in relation to the deadline, personally.

That should not be a problem since there will be a time stamp on the deadline post as well.

++Real Time

Because you can see it changing all the time without needing to refresh the page. Also, sometimes Downs time is out by a few minutes.

I'd be happy to embrace Mac's proposition. As it is possible that the 'Downs clock starts wandering here and there - as it has done earlier - and it may be 20 minutes or an hour off one day.

So as long it stays within a few minutes distance from the real time I'd say we basically follow the real time but will count in all votes given according to the 'Downs time (eg. 3-4 minutes after the real-time DL) as well.

How would that sound?

Eönwë: I'll add your age and occupation to the player list anyhow.

Nogrod · 06-02-2008, 12:03 PM

Remember to turn invisible!

Those of you who haven't done that before go to "user cp", then "edit options" and then "use invisible mode" and save the settings for the duration of the game.

I was so excited about the game that I did that 3 days ago.

Good by me.

I would say voting early would help, but I'm too much of a realist to believe that in any good WW people vote early in droves beyond the reason of simply not being around to read. Something always happens, there's always a maverick post that sends us off the edge.
