How to Survive the WWinter - Speed Game Sign Ups

[PippyPony]

Can't promise this will be the best laid plan you've ever seen, but like the emergency stash of salsa/ketchup packets in your car glove box, it will help you believe you can survive being marooned in the middle of winter.

There's a heavy grey cloud cover on the horizon and the temperature is plummeting...are you prepared?

In case people don't look at the Future Games thread...

This sign up thread is for a game to run TOMORROW ONLY.

Exact start time, estimated end time, and cycle length dependent on the # of players, but sign ups will close sometime before 7am-ish tomorrow morning.

(hopefully will get killed off before ~3:00 since I have afternoon plans but I'll do my best!!)

 

[WildZoo]

I don't do speed, prefer other drugs

But for reals I'll be sleeping half the day, overnight shift tonight

 

[mizchiefmanaged]

How long will cycles be @PippyPony ? I work tomorrow but the schedule isn’t insane.

Hmmm I think we could work something out!!

 

[alissa14]

So are speed games like WW but on fast forward? Roles and night/day cycles that are hours at a time?

 

[jaboo]

On mobile, put me in pls!

I'll join tentatively and confirm when the start time is decided. I'll be good with like 90% of possible start times though

You know I don't get up early and am constantly running ~1.5-2 hrs late, so even if I shoot for 8am est... probably will end up at an acceptable start time out west lol

 

[PippyPony]

Depends. Ideally will be longer cycles than a regular speed game (at least 1.5+ hrs day, 30+ min night).

I'm mostly concerned with it running too late, I walk the dog in the early evening but need to do it before it gets dark and the sun sets at like 5 right now lol. Like I said, likely won't be a problem, but will help me plan if I need to walk him earlier or whatever tomorrow

 

[Stroganoff]

I'm going to be on 2 planes tomorrow. I'm sure this will work out fine.

I have to clean the house tomorrow since I'll be travelling for two weeks

I will watch from the sidelines and be sure to root for you all though!

Wish I could play, but alas, residency remains a nightmare from which I cannot escape

By the way, I like that this game suggests that I might be capable of doing anything other than immediately dying in some type of winter emergency

It's about 70 in my house and I am currently walking around draped in a blanket that literally trails behind me like a wedding train.

It's surprising that I don't die instantly every time I go outside when it's less than 75 out

I have a cold, so we turned our thermostat up to 68 degrees.

These southern plebs do not understand northern cold.

Just wait lmao. @SARdoghandler, certified Canadian and SAR expert, consulted on role flavor. Some direct quotes from her:

"We are approaching this from very, very different angles "
"Pippy you are the nightmare of search and rescue teams everywhere"

There are some vet players that only figured this out recently. Don't feel bad

 

[PippyPony]

Ideally need about 12 people to make this worth it for everyone; will leave sign ups open for a while though

Will be in surgery til the PM... but make it cubs birthday themed!

 

[WonderingStudent]

I'm unsure if I should sign up since I probably won't wake up until 4 pm tomorrow since I'm working tonight.

 

[WonderingStudent]

With a speed round my schedule probably won't work but I hope it goes well!

 

[PippyPony]

I'm unsure if I should sign up since I probably won't wake up until 4 pm tomorrow since I'm working tonight.

Depending on how much I feel like procrastinating tomorrow I might also be able to run some very small 1-night configurations tomorrow night. We'll see haha

 

[PippyPony]

Ok. Am going to bed; will leave sign ups open overnight.

If this starts, it'll hopefully be underway by 10am est.
