Best Deadline Schedule?

Autumn · 09-23-2009, 07:35 PM

I'm finishing up the ruleset for my upcoming game. I'm wondering what people find works best in terms of deadlines. Specifically I've mostly played in games here with a evening lynch deadline and then a late night or early morning nightkill deadline. Do people prefer that, or prefer a single evening deadline for both? Does it work best to let the wolves have the night to contemplate, or does that waste too much of the village's time?

i hate deadline when im asleep... so no 9 pm est to 7 am est.... i think 12-2 pm est is the best for me... but its not all about me... just moslty

8 or 9 pm EST works the best for me.

Autumn · 09-23-2009, 07:57 PM

But do you guys prefer a single deadline, or separate day and night ones?

I like the single deadline a little bit more, but day night isn't terrible.

I like the single deadline. Way less downtime.

claphamsa · 09-24-2009, 07:10 AM

single deadline

The Jackal · 09-24-2009, 09:29 AM

Yeah, single works fine. Very little gets said over the course of a night phase, and if the wolves know they have to get a kill in by a certain time they will.

As for the time of the deadline, anything works for me.

I prefer the single deadling and really like the afternoon deadlines. Evening deadlines are a pain for me...

Just remember Danny and I (not sure about anyone else) are on PST so try not to make it too early. We're 3 hours behind EST so if you make it too early we're either gonna have to vote early the night before or else wake up early just to play. And I get a few Midnight shifts here and there. So that's my two cents.

10pm eastern on Mondays, 6pm eastern on Tuesdays, 7:30pm or 11:30 pm eastern on Wednesdays, 6pm eastern on Thursdays and anytime on Fridays

Autumn · 09-25-2009, 08:13 AM

The "anytime on Friday" deadline might get a bit confusing but we can try it ...

Thanks guys. So far I'm hearing that single deadline is the favorite. And a lot of support for afternoon deadlines. Anyone that an afternoon (say 4 EST) would not work for at all?

Alan T · 09-25-2009, 08:22 AM

I'm traveling a bunch right now so might have to miss your game, but for me I like the single deadlines better too.

Any time after 9pm EST deadline though I usually decide to not play in these days mostly because it creates too much catching up for me the next day at work (lately of which is pretty impossible for me).

I mostly prefer an afternoon deadline between the 2pm - 4pm range myself. Seems the time most people can be around.

claphamsa · 09-25-2009, 09:08 AM

4 is a crappy deadline for me (but im only one person) since I get off at 345

make it 3
