lllllllllllllet's poll! par deux

[monomods]

Hello, dearest darling Dangan Roleplayers! We apologize for the lateness of this but your mods are a wee bit forgetful.

With the first murder creeping up on us, we want to know what times would be convenient for all of you when it comes to investigations/trials! Quick reminder that investigations/trials/executions run on a 2:1 day system for the game and and your hard working mods are in an EST timezone. We will also be sticking to Friday/Saturday for posting days. Sunday is both a day of rest and the return to the normal 1:1 day ratio.

We're offering three options for posting times. Please pick one or, if you have no preference, let us know!

A) Between 12-2 pm EST

B) Between 5-7 pm EST

C) Between 9-11 pm EST

As I'm in lovely PST, I have no preference whatsoever.

B

[strategicnaps]

B from me! A is basically midnight to 2am for me anyway... But ultimately I'm fine with anything.

B!

[loveisanopendoor]

I work from 10-4 EST on Fridays ;~;

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Simon-mun, doing app things!

Another person in PST, so I don't have a preference.

[foolreversed]

C feels too late to me, but I think B or A would work best. My personal vote is for B because I don't have to wake up early because MST but I'm fine with A too.

[blackmass]

/vaguely shrugs

C does seem a little late to me, but I'm fine with whatever the majority wants.

A...maaybeprobably?

[thermals]

I'm a little stuck on this one so lemme explain:

The reasoning behind this is the fact that- if we're going by the last round- trials usually ran to very late in the middle of the night, EST time: generally capping at around 2:00 A.M. I do remember a trial going to at least 3:00 for me, or very close to it anyway. So that means if a trial didn't get started until 5-7 pm EST, we'd run the chance of going into the wee hours. Of course I'm only going by EST here, I'm unsure exactly what time zones the entire cast is running on.

BASICALLY MY POINT is that I'm cool with investigations starting at just about any time, but in my opinion trials at least need to start as soon as they possibly can since they took and most likely will take a while to get to their conclusion, even with a larger cast this time around.

[mimos]

I think B is a good choice.

B

[seamaker]

I'm also not home from work until evening on Fridays.

[foolreversed]

Ah yeah, this is a good point.

Like I wasn't here for round 1 but the mock trial went for a long time itself

HMMM...

[thermals]

YEAH, the way I see it investigations can probably stand to start whenever it is best for everyone, but if trials start too late then we're going to bleed over into Sunday and have people surrendering to their beds before the case is solved.

Like I said though I'm just going by EST, so it all depends on what timezones everyone else is in and how that would affect them as well!

[chatwithdeath]

I'm for A or B. C would be much too late (even if I'm with the PST crowd).

[sugarcandyasshole]

I have zero preference, because insomniac+pst.

[sycamour]

My usual timezone suuuuucks (lmao Australia) so I'll make whatever work.

[ice_in_shibuya]

I'm MST! As for best time, with my new job B or C is best for me, probably B

[cousinhair]

Gonna go with A, which I believe was what was used for the mock trial? I'm okay with B for the investigations, but I'm with Chi on trials needing to start as early as possible. B means the trial will start between 11PM and 1 AM for me which is a bit inconvenient on my end -- I tend to stay up really late anyway so it's not impossible for me to work with but I do run the risk of getting tired. :|a

Also, the mock trial went on for ~6 hours which probably is a good indicator of how long they will last, at least in the beginning. As Chi said, we're going to bleed over until Sunday and have people go to bed before the case is over if they start too late.

[holocast]

I don't have much preference either way, but I agree that we do need to keep in mind that these trials tend to last for several hours and if we start them too late we'll have definite bleedover into Sunday. So I think we should probably try to avoid that, at the very least, but when it comes to either A or B I don't really mind either way.

[bakasaru]

Since I'm PST either B or C for me. a is just around the time I'm first waking up in the mornings~

[dereban]

I would prefer A or B personally because I go to sleep rather early even though I live in PST, though I would highly prefer B especially for Saturdays.

[torya]

hahaha I'm GMT so i'm fucked any way

I have no preference!

[thejusticewagon]

I was going to vote B all the way, but other people brought up good points about the trials going on for so long. I think that given how the mock trial investigation went it might be best to go with B for investigations and the later end of A for trials?

I also think it's a good idea to take into consideration that things slow down a fuckload as the cast size decreases. I think an early round trial could feasibly be started and completed before Sunday if it started at 5 EST. however, as the living cast decreases, it might be best to move it down to 12 to 2 EST to account for that. Ditto for investigations.

So I'm going to go with an all-around suggestion of B for now, but maybe A when we're at... idk, 20 characters or less.

B

12-2 is a bit too early for me for investigations, because I work Mon-Fri until about 3-4 over here in CST. 9-11 seems a bit too late, since that's about the time I need to start winding down for bed.
