Extremely and unnecessarily harsh last time, hasn't changed this time. I mean, why is it necessary to be this harsh? Why can't you just say 'edit it out'?

How difficult is it to abide by the rules, and not post at night?

I think the issue comes up in the case of some one trying to get a last minute post in when the GM puts up the end of day post. Sure it doesn't matter if you're never on when the day switches but it's always prime gaming time somewhere...

So I take it you relish the potential for being modkilled because you forgot to preview and posted a few minutes after nightfall?

Yeah, I found it too harsh in the game I hosted as well. Although it's usually not an issue (or hasn't been from what I've seen of this crowd), I'd still echo the others in that there should be either a 10 minute warning post before the real night end, or veto the idea altogether and just go as we have been doing.

If there's going to be a change to the no editing/night posting rule, I'd say make an exception that if a post is within x time of the end of day, it should be immediately edited to say nothing. I'm fine with things as they are though. If you're taking the chance of posting right at the last minute, then you know you're taking a chance. It's also usually pretty obvious (lots of posts right before the day is over) that there is a good chance of that happening on a given day, so another idea would be for ray to post a "day is ending, stop posting within 10 minutes" type post just before ending the day, so people could have a reasonable chance to finish their post. If you're going to make a long post right before the day is over, you take your chances.

I forgot that this board doesn't have the same preview function. As long as any information is edited out, its ok. Just don't blatantly post half an hour after night has fallen.

So you added me to the top of the list. Fine for now, leave it be, allthough I'm still thinking about it, and rest assured, if I decide it's not good for me, it'll be gone faster then you can say lynch Merlin the Wizzard. You should also know that your line of approach is the one that is least probable to get affirmative feedback from me liq And if I truly get bored with the game, I'll just start a lynch train on you. Might be entertaining, if nothing else.

@ Merlin- Why would tango partaking in a fun online echo game with your favorite internet rosebud community be "not good for you?" Surely the stress associated with you being wrongly accused, strung up till dead, and paraded around virtual town isn't that high.

Hey guys, just wanted to say that I'm going to close sign-ups at 12:00am EST Friday night/Saturday morning. I'll get the roles set and PMs out shortly after that. You have just over 22 hours from the time of this post to get in the game!!!

So I take it you relish the potential for being modkilled because you forgot to preview and posted a few minutes after nightfall? No, but if you have something important to add, why would you wait till the very last moment before posting? I know that RL gets in the way sometimes, but if you risk it, you could have to pay for it. Now, having said that, I also agree that if a post happens within "x" time after night is signaled, then the post should be edited to say nothing. EDIT: It just turned Friday here.

Apparently you guys missed the 12:00am EST Friday night/Saturday morning from my post. I thought Mafia players were supposed to be observant???
