Uh, no, sorry. I have after school stuff that only allows me to get on around 6:00 PM EST. and I may be inactive some thursdays.

[DarthMask]

I'll be good with whatever...anytime between 3pm EST and 5pm EST would be best tho.

[Darth Legion]

DarthMask, are you okay with 7:00 est time?

[Glycereine]

not so sound mean, but the host has to pick a time. typically around 8pm EST is good for most people in the US, but not everyone is in the US, some hosts have had games end at noon EST because they are in a different country as well.

Players need to play around that. If you can't be on at the last minute for vote changes etc, you need to vote early. No matter what time the day ends you still have 24 hours to get actions and/or votes in.

For example if I can only check BD from 5am to 8am, I need to do it then. I might not get a ton of responses but I can at least vote, act etc. Sometimes it sucks but some of our players are literally never online at day/night end so it's definitely not an obstacle of immense proportions .

Pick the time that works for you DL (within reason since you asked a few people) and go with it . It will all work out.

[DarthMask]

to answer your question DL, 7EST would be fine. Like I said, I'm flexible

[young scientist]

So are we going to start another day?

[Shadow7]

I think so...

@Darth Legion - Not trying to influence you, but someone has to say it:
(1) waiting for an inactive is not usually good. You end the night without their action and replace the inactive with a backup or not. Waiting on inactives is a passive form of encouraging it.
(2) the fact that you told us you're waiting for Fett to choose sides is actually very bad.
People can't stop themselves metagame who was inactive enough to not choose sides on time. I know I can't.
And Fett is a crucial role, so narrowing it down due to metagaming kinda spoils the balance.
In my opinion, you should have randomed the side Fett joins and hidden the whole incident. Either way, never tell things like that in the thread. They give away too much information.

I agree with araver. I'm not even I'm the game but I think the best way to overcome this would be to redistribute roles. If someone is already inactive replace them (with me?). But without a redo of roles everyone will know who the inactive player is

[Darth Legion]

Okay, sorry about that. Trying to get back into the swing of things. Stayed up till 3:00 last night just talking with a friend, so I'm rather out of it. Redistribution tomorrow. I apologize to all whom this has affected. I gathered a lot from this accidental false start, tomorrow should, theoretically, run smoother than last time. Thank you all for not completely blowing me off about this.
