Answer 1: No, the twist is not what is likely keeping people awayMoliere wrote:Was it wrong to put the political twist into the game? Where are all the players?
Answer 2: A lot of players have stopped playing very often and others are just busy as all get out (read me for that last part)

Re: Battle of the Presidents
answer 3: in need of recharging the batteries (ie me)
Though if you could get scoop to Pm some folks...am sure people can get a list together of those previous players.
And i seriously doubt its the topic. I think Remus hit the nail on the head. Busy and a more casual pace by some folks.

Moliere. Would you mind starting after the Thanksgiving Holiday? I think people would be more willing to get started once they have that out of the way and its only a few weeks.

That's fine with me. I only worry that someone is then going to say we should delay until after Christmas, and then New Years.Scoop20906 wrote:Moliere.

But I have no problem waiting if that will produce a full roster of players. I really like the infection at any time dynamic and don't want to compromise that like I did for the last GT game I ran.

He didn't say wait for President's Day.
That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Re: Battle of the Presidents
If nobody shows by then, even numbers are good to start at Night Zero, with a kill and orders.
14 -1 = 13 First day.
1+1 =11
1+1 =9
1+1 =7
Lynch loss makes for four strikes, barring Protection, Failed Conversion, Extra kills.
I used to refer to the game as Sunday Night (Night Zero) then Monday/MondayNight, Tuesday/TuesdayNight, etc.

Re: Battle of the Presidents
Team leads and supervisors in my building did the no shave November and then they had the employees & the supervisors put money in jars to determine what type of beard they would have to wear the last week before Thanksgiving. At the last minute of the contest two engineers each put $100 in the monkey tail jar.
