I think he's suggesting that days/nights last an entire day each. It doesn't really matter what time the changeover is because this would work for everyone.

And then the wolves have large issues communicating with the inconsistent times. You can't manage to show up in an entire 8 hours, Hoi?

Also worth noting. The wolfs don't have to communicate in the night at all, they can do their decision making in the day time if they want. During the night they just have to submit their decision.

[edit] Although midnight to 8AM is a pretty grueling night for GMT wolfs.

This is like a CA game.

Exactly. Make it GMT. Doesn't matter.

So no matter where you are in the world, if your only free time to log on is your local 5:00-5:30 pm every day, you'll have Monday 5pm to log on during "day" and Tuesday 5pm to log on during "night" and Wednesday 5pm to log on during "day" and so on.

Edit: Since you want to be awake for changeover, make it midnight GMT. That makes it so for EST (you) the changeover is 7pm every day. There is only one time to remember instead of two. That time alternates day/night each day. For EST, it's 7pm. For PST it's 4pm (hoping I'm not messed up by daylight savings).

Edit2: I'll play if you end up with even numbers again and need someone.

you're suggesting 24 hour days and 24 hour nights?

groan... but if that's the only way it will work, fine.

The game I played before, some days would last as long as 2-3 IRL days. We had a rule that everyone had to have voted or something. It drew things out quite a bit.

If you have 17 people and one person dies each "day" and one dies each "night," that's less than 17 days. Is that so bad?

WHO CARES ABOUT THE TIME JESUS.

just start the frigging game already before people lose interest.

Tis a forum. We have poll function. Use that, rather than autohost slang.

Autohost slang outside of an autohost is worse than internet slang outside of the internet. >_<

LOL NOOB you cant add a poll mid-thred.



I'm not sure why you're calling it 'slang'. I guess that term can work, but it's not the same thing as mispronouncing words or attempting to pronounce acronyms.

I, AND ONLY I, MAY ADD A POLL MIDTHREAD!
MWAHAHAHA!

I was actually requesting Felix to make a poll.
And, I guess it isn't really "slang" but it's quite annoying (maybe just to me). I have some strange opinions concerning lingual efficiency. It's a wonder I tolerate speaking and typing English!

Okay off-topic chat aside, this game needs to get started. I thought it would be a fast and entertaining addition to the addiction that is spring. Instead you guys are whining about time zones and wether it will be fair.
Maek tiem.
