Namely, that they're going to go up around 5 PM EST tomorrow, which should at least give you guys a chance to sleep in and such

The trial itself will go up at about 11 AM EST on Saturday

We understand that this is quite a bit later than normal DRRP times! We're gonna look at trying to work out work schedules and such around the game better in the future

I HAVE EIGHT DAYS OFF BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR I NEED TO USE, HOPEFULLY I CAN HIT A LOT OF FRIDAYS

YEAH IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER FOR ME BECAUSE MY JOB IS PRETTY MUCH BASED AROUND FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS but I'm gonna try getting a few off between now and endgame

o>

yeah 5 pm is bad for me since it's going right into shabbat...at least Saturday is better, I just wake up early and get a bunch done before I leave for synagogue

It's more just that since there's only 2 of us and investigations are really mod-intensive, we do need to schedule them at a time when we're both readily available to hit people up

yeah

how long do investigations last?

and trials?

Both kinda depend.

Investigation length depends on how quick we are at getting to stuff, how much evidence there is to get, and how many characters are alive.

^

Trial length depends on how long it takes the cast to get to a point where they have a good idea of who the murderer is.

R3's mock trial investigation took a few hours, while I think the trial itself took like a day and a half?

But I've been told that trial was incredibly long.

I dunno, man, I've been in some looong trials. Although they've never usually gone on longer than a day.

Yeah I was in one that was like twelve hours

It's always impossible to tell how long a trial will be until it happens, I guess

oof, I'll try to hop on as much as I can then if it goes into synagogue time

I might not be able to tag until friday evening myself

I think one reason I can't tell how long they go is I've only seen trials after the fact

yeah it'll be Friday evening for me more than likely

Trials and investigations are kind of like wizards, you know.

They never end early, and they never end late.

They end precisely when they mean to.

pft

i'll be at work for most of it but haha i was always with investigations anway

And here I thought trials had a time limit of until midnight or something, heh

Voting will be like in the last two rounds, everybody onto the culprit everybody decides, right?

I thought they did too!

Maybe it was different because it was a mock trial, but I remember it going well past midnight.

Yeah, although someone could theoretically call the vote

without a straight confession, I mean

that seems a bad idea

Great for drama, though

I know it has happened.

I probably need yall to ping me when the logs go up because for some reason I'm not getting ANY notifs for things going up on the comm..

if you guys end up needing help for evidence just let one of us original flavor mods know and we'll do our best

I MEAN THIS WEEKEND IS KIND OF A NO GO BECAUSE TWO OF US ARE MOVING but any other weekend

THANKS FRIENDS
