I’m up for a newbie game. I’ve played once before, but that was at least a year ago now.

We usually do one-week cycles, with something like five-day Days and two-day Nights, so there’s plenty of time in there for a player in any timezone. While it’s theoretically possible to get literal last-minute vote shenanigans or the like, and thus it’s theoretically nice to be online at that time, in practice, it very seldom comes up.

EDIT:  
Oh, and games typically last about eight weeks or so, but most people will be out of it by then, and of those who are left it’s usually not very time-demanding.

OK, there seems to be a bit of interest. I’ll post sign-ups for a beginner game in the Thread Games forum tomorrow!

Oh, didn’t see that! My condolances.

I’m getting really exited for the game! Hopefully I’ll get to do some face to face gaming this summer too; Maybe even some Paranoia! It’s starting to look like a good gaming summer.

I realize I missed this a month ago, but yes, our dear peeker died a few months ago. It was quite sad.

We miss his…well, his peekerness tremendously.
