> [@LightFoot](#): > > AT the risk of looking foolish > \*\*When is EON? > And strategy is allowed at Night, Right? \*\* > (I’ve read too many set-ups in the past week) I need to see how quickly I can get up the game thread tomorrow, but: I’m expecting the thread to open tomorrow morning at around 9:00 or 9:30 EDT, and Day One will probably end on Thursday at around 6:00 p.m. I’m not sure what length of time will work best for Night, but ideally I’d love to have Night One end sometime on Friday, and we can start a Day Two that will go over the weekend and until Tuesday afternoon. (If possible, I’d like to have Days last either two or three rl days, with weekends counting as one total rl day, and Nights lasting about half that.) These day lengths are subject to change if it looks like people agree they’re dragging interminably or flying by too quickly. The forum I usually play at has one day/night cycle for every actual day/night, but I’m assuming that’s way too quick here. 😃 And there will be no strategy at Night; I should have all of this information in the OP tomorrow morning. ---

Would you like everyone to say that they have received their PM before starting the game or are you just going to assume they have? I have mine BTW ---

Thank for the info. For someof us the Day cycle is going to be a bit quicker than we are accustomed. How many time zones do we have playing? Another new element this \* will \* be interesting I’m PacificDaylightTime fwiw Oh and To prevent future spontaneous sex change operations I am female. ---

Heh. 🙂 Hopefully it’s not too much of a culture shock for either side; I’m trying to split the difference a bit. ---

I think I like the quicker Day Cycle, it keepsi t from getting boring and if you want to play, you are going to. I know RL gets in the way of quick time but you can just post a quick bit. As for time zones, all the American ones, well I have no idea. I am 1 hour ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time {which is the world standard}) I hope to post a lot, vote a lot and have fun. ---

> [@crackedquads](#): > > Yeah I’m from the other forum and this 3 day turn is going to be brutal for me. you would have needed counseling during ryker’s island then. the first Day lasted over two rl weeks. and people were still bitching at me for hammering it closed even then. ---
