@ wjessop: ""Standard non-24-hour end time" is meaningless."

No, it is not.

The standard end time would be 36 hours after the start of the day phase.

36 is not 24.

End.

@ wjessop: "I'm intetested to know, jamie, which time zone you feel is unfairly favoured by the current Day End system"

I would suggest that the "current Day End system" as you call it, is disadvantageous to anyone in UTC +1, +2, and +3 time zones. That's most of continental Europe.

As it is, to be awake at the EOD and participate in the immediate EOD revelations and reactions, I've had to be awake until at least 1am UK time. Imagine having to be awake until 3am if you're in central or eastern europe.

I'm not complaining, just responding since you asked me - but the current arrangement is definitely skewed towards the convenience of players in the Americas. That might be fine, because a majority of players are from that area - but it's nevertheless a fact.

I still think "standard non-24-hour end time" sounds like oppressive jargon.

I'm not convinced as to what's 'standard' about what you describe.

Not having a go, just saying.

Whom am I attempting to oppress?

Stop being silly, Wjessop.


"I'm not convinced as to what's 'standard' about what you describe"

"Standard" in the sense that it would be a standard duration of 36 hours every time. That is, as opposed to having D1 being 5 hours long, D2 being 84 hours long, D3 being 11 hours, and so on.

Crosspasta.

I would be okay with starting earlier, but I'm busy during the day for the entire week leading up to Valentines because I deliver flowers and shit gets intense that whole week.

Bump.

i withdraw my offer to cut in line and host a quick game, I don't have the time unfortunately, i would still start as a player on 2/1

Can we start earlier or not?

##NOT A GM:
No

Why don't we just do some live games here and there over the weekends?

Last game should have been French revolution themed because of Luis XVI... too late now

uhh ND, yoyo, DO, vash, myself, and even HR have been playing live games every night. Feel free to join us if you want? There is even a discord chat we have for advertising life EM games.

The hell is discord?

its what all the cool kids are into these days conky

The hell is a conky?

"Can we start early?"

No.
-THE MGT.

Discord is like Skype. But, ya know, good.

Why not just use Teamspeak?

Teamspeak is so 2008

Lol no. Ventrilo is 2008. Teamspeak is timeless.

Seriously though, if we need to have a chat, use Google Hangouts. If we need voice, use Teamspeak. It has the highest quality.

I like discord. You don't have to use it, but that's how we're organizing EM games for the most part.

We should just use AIM to coordinate our mafia games. AIM is pretty sweet.

It just seems kind of... odd? I've never heard of it before, and it is weird to use when all of us already have each other on Steam.

Steam doesn't have this sort of interface and group chat options. Not even close.

Maybe, but it fits into one of the chat programs most people already have. I don't want to have to install some other bloatware to serve a function I've got already with three other programs.

Don't? PM one of us if you want to play EM I guess.
