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.

I'm impartial to real or Downs time. But also I may or may not be able to make every voting deadline (I'll still vote everyday just maybe a few hours before deadline). I work until about twenty minutes before the deadline so if I do make it home by voting time (which I should) it'll be to cast a vote and make few comments. Because of work I can be on a large part of the beginning of days, but will be rather sparse the second half. Hopefully this isn't going to cause a huge problem in the game.

It is possible the 'Downs time wanders a long way from the real time. It has been deviating from the "real time" with more than an hour before so we can't count on it.

But all the votes posted within the 'Downs time will be counted as long as the difference stays in this three-four minutes like it is now. You are all intelligent people and understand when there is a difference of an hour between the 'Downs time and the time you actually live.

So the Deadline will be 11PM GMT 'Downs time for now but if the 'Downs time starts to go on it's own we'll be making a new decision. If this ruling is to be changed (the 'Downs time freaks out) I will inform you about the new ruling (making it strict real time) both here and in the game thread.

So untill further notice the 'Downs time will do. Although I still think the real time is better as it comes to you automatically, is seen all the time on your screen and is not dependent of your refreshing the page everytime just to check it...

I must admit that just like a few here have said I have never myself even checked the "'Downs time" as it is so uncomfortably at the end of the page and requires constant refreshing to be of any help.


PS. Another matter:
Just to make it clear. I have systematically referred to anyone unknown in this discussion thread as well as in the game thread by "she" from the very beginning. And I will continue doing so. There will neither be hints in the narrations. They are narrations that have a logic of their own.

Sorry! Painful lack of internet all day, as I forgot to grab my laptop on the way to work. Fixed all the problems (except Morm's occupation....*shifty eyes*) and here's the new and improved link (which I'll also PM to Noggie in case he still wants it).

Now, off to the game....!

Celuien has just left Hobbiton.
I just wanted to let everyone know that, as mentioned a little earlier, I'm in the process of moving. As part of that, I still don't have internet at my new place, which means that access will be limited to coffee shops with WiFi until that's taken care of and my presence may be somewhat erratic until Saturday. Sorry about that.

Your point is a valid one and the committee will take it under consideration.

Pipe Gomen nasai!

I had a funny conversation when I got home (at about 9pm) last night.

'Did you know it was DAY 1 today?' said the Lhunatic.

'Oh, crap,' said I.

Sorry for not showing up yesterDAY, it won't happen again.
