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!

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

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.

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!

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

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

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?

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
