Wizarding Rummy

Rules: here.
Time limit: You've got 24 hours to respond to your question, this may be cut down to 12 hours, depends on how the game goes.
Play: I will start a new comment thread for each player, everytime it is your turn to take an action I will comment at that thread. Please reply to that thread and not the post. I will also have a separate comment at the end of the post for any questions, etc.
More can be found in the rules.
Players: seaborne, __megh and cinnleigh.

If you do not respond I will track you down else where! Swears! :P (And if some of you don't want to play, then please comment here)

Extra: If we all have fun and want to play again I have about another 114 questions, not typed up, which are either harder or easier (these were the best questions) and we could play again, but not for points. We'll see how this game goes!

having to skip you as you've not replied! sorry!

Re: __megh

[http://users.livejournal.com/__megh/]

I'm sorry! I never got the e-mail and I hadn't checked it :[

Re: __megh

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Well that's strange, you should have.

Hm.

*sits and thinks about this*

I'm really thinking next game? we play in partnerships! then either person could answer!

Re: __megh

[http://users.livejournal.com/__megh/]

Well I don't know. That would be good except what if one person was online like before the other person and they answered all of them? That wouldn't be as fair. I think doing it solo is good because you have to keep up and you get to do everything on your own so if it's wrong it's your responsibilty rather than someone else's

Re: __megh

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

this is true, I hadn't looked at it from that angle.

I'm just a bit...yeah...about the speed people are replying at.

Maybe if I changed it to 12 hours instead of 24?

Re: __megh

[http://users.livejournal.com/__megh/]

yeah I think you should do that, because it is going really slow, maybe with more people it will be better. although i do like this game alot

Re: __megh

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

would you be more annoyed of missing a go if there was a 12 hour rule, or of having to wait for other players with the 24 hour rule?

Re: __megh

[http://users.livejournal.com/__megh/]

i'd rather have the 12 hour rule, because then it pushes you to check it. and honestly, you know when your turn is going to come up like soon or if there are a couple people in front of you so you know KIND OF when to check it at least. and if people aren't participating in it fully then that's their own fault, other people who really want to do it and have the game go quicker don't need to wait. i think most people will go faster if there is a for sure 12 hour rule and if they get skipped once, they will go quicker the next time

Re: __megh

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

Hm, right, I'm going to track down the other two and ask them, in which case this will be moving up to a 12 hour rule game.

Re: __megh

[http://users.livejournal.com/__megh/]

sounds like a plan. you're really doing an awesome job, i don't think i would ever be able to come up with these games, they're so cool!

Re: __megh

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

aw thanks!

Am still trying to think of a way to make sure that Monopoly runs smoother than this! :D

Re: __megh

[http://users.livejournal.com/__megh/]

i'm thinking the time thing should work out because that seemed to be the major flaw in this

Re: __megh

[theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of making an ebay style auction in comments for all the properties before the game starts, so that's all set up, and instead of doing it roll by roll making one update with every players moves once a day.

so like,

__megh rolled a three, moves to hh_clubs and pays so and so so much.
cinnleigh lands on go to jail

etc etc and waiting for all the players options in that post.

Except I'm worried that might take too much out of the game, what do you think?

Re: __megh

[http://users.livejournal.com/__megh/]

hmm. i think that would move it alot faster. and actually i dont think that would take out much at all because its really just moving everyone along, because its no fun to just sit and wait for your turn, its better to be in the action and have it be your turn! and this way your turn comes alot more often and frequent, you dont have to wait as long, everyones wait is equal
