Polly Confession: I haven't read WoT

Don't worry, you're only 30% missing out.

Edit: I actually think my first WoT game might have been pre-reading WoT. Not sure.

I approve. What I don't approve of is how long the LG101 elim doc is. I've been reading it the whole day. @The Unknown Flame @DrakeMarshall @Kasimir, what possessed you guys to write 60 pages?!

If you think that's bad, check out the LG95 Roshar docs. 

Edit: Also, can't be 60 pages because Rave docs are pageless

Thanks yeah I would definitely like to spectate. Was actually wondering why you had to sign up to spectate. I’m totally new to this so I figured I would watch to get a handle on things before I tried it out

Exp is basically right. It helps me make a list of people who want to spectate so its easier for me to share the spectator doc link when the game begins

Ah, the classic Ajah

TJ be here going "I NUMBERED THE AJAHS AND HERE YOU ALL ARE INSISTING ON COLOURS."

Kas, what if I say that I planned to attach the number to an Ajah? What if I meant to keep the numbers as placeholders and actually assign the numbers to different Ajahs, what then? >>

Oh, yeah, they’re ALL ON RAVE MODE

Considering running a nationality-swapped version of that eventually, made myself read everything just in case

Let's just say that if me and Kas ( @DrakeMarshall pretty please?) End up on the same Ajah... bad things will happen.

Read the LG 90 dead docs, BOTH of them

Me From 24 Hours Ago was like, “If I might run this game, I need to do my due diligence and check out how it went last time. I’m going to read all associated material, then ask Kas about it.” Me Now hates Me From 24 Hours Ago, is 2/3rds of the way through the elim doc, and hasn’t even started on the spec yet. 
 

Also, on my computer, if you hover over the scroll bar, it shows you what page you are on out of the total, even if it’s pageless.

Whoops didn't know signups were open

Yes, I'd like to play. I hope my general illiteracy about WoT isn't a dealbreaker here please don't tell anyone but I've actually only seen the TV show.

Like how you’re a different color in both docs you were in, but TUF is the red you had in the neutral doc?

Can confirm, the TV show is not accurate to the books.

Also, @|TJ|, can I get put on the spec list?

Yeah, I mean, Wind is pretty good

Like I couldn't really speak any truths without wind, y'know, on account of needing to breathe. So that's a pretty useful thing that Wind does for me. As the tagline from the classic movie Alien goes, "in space, nobody can hear you telling the truth." I'm quite certain that's how it goes.

Then again, asserting that "Wind is better than Truth" is ironically a Truth claim mayhaps Wind and Truth truly cannot exist without each other

Depends on how much time I have, and if it's an extended sign-ups game. Since we're committing to large-volume games for extended sign-ups, I think it's worth making something eyecatching for marketing. Goes back to how we can't use the old model of "if people come then they come" at this point of our life-cycle, and my being impressed by how Flight Rising's Interflight Mafia Hub handles sign-ups.

Basically TJ's our pilot case. I'm hoping we can get some eyeballs with a banner compared to just words, and I'm planning on hitting some WoT communities and respectfully checking with the mods on their advertising policy. The fact WoT S3 is due in mid-March might help and that's something we should seek to ride as well IMO.

Also I'm just of the view that a banner and a sig advertising Flame of Tar Valon might be more catchy than a subforum sig, IDK, not sure tbh. Just that one's a very specific targeted RP game or looks like, and the other is a tad generic. We'll see, IDK!

Good things will happen. They'll be bad for the Black Ajah unless we're all Black together in which case I quietly sigh in trauma and wonder how to rework my RP

Why are you @ing me? Why don't you @ the people who you are disappointing now that this game won't be Fifty Shades of Blue (Ajah)?

I am very disappointed we can't all insist on being Blue Ajah

You might even say that I'm feeling blue

I think the recently released bonus teaser is very relevant for this game

I'm just saying, both times the three of us were in a doc together, the village lost. We (well, me and Drake) won, but the village lost.

I vote we agree to just not listen to TJ and still all choose shades of blue.

One pro for truth is wind goes around with the storm smashing up people’s houses, but if truth curbstomps your house, you deserved it

Welp, I missed my yearly October game, and I couldn't possibly voluntarily miss out on a WoT game willingly 

This is me signing up. Name and stuff to come later, in a few days. Got a flight to catch in the morning and it's already very late

Glad to be back, if only for a game (though it looks very interesting at that )

Are signups still open?

If they are, I'd love to play as Taimon.
