We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Don't listen to EURO; if you have the time then there is nothing wrong with you GMing. Though perhaps play in the current lite to show you have the time.
I'm going ahead with the Big. I'm going to rewrite my templates so they stop breaking on the new forums, so the rules and events posts will be placeholders; but I'll get the thread up as soon as the theme post is done.
2100 GMT deadline if you need to know that. The alternative is 1100 GMT, which I don't think anyone would like

Would be interesting at least. But yeah probably wouldn't have too much activity at deadline. Although my classes for the next 7 weeks* actually are in such a way that I would be able to be online at deadline every day.The alternative is 1100 GMT, which I don't think anyone would like
*At the science department we don't have semesters, but quarters: 7 weeks of lectures and then exams. Then repeat. There is 4 quarters a year meaning exams 4 times a year.
Also it is really important that there is 7 of every weekday in the lecture period of a quarter, so if it starts on a Monday it must end on a Sunday. 1st and 3rd quarter always starts on Mondays. 2nd and 4th always starts on a Thursday meaning that the week goes from Thursday to Wednesday half of the year---an interesting experience.

Cool. This deadline works.
The year of 1866 finds you under the domain of strange stars. If there is a bright centre of civilisation New Zealand is the colony that it is furthest from; and if there is a bright centre to the colony then the rain-soaked strip of land tucked between the Southern Alps and Tasman Sea that is the West Coast is similarly removed. But there is one glow that has brought in the moths from all corners of the world to the fledgling frontier settlement of Hokitika - gold.
Perhaps you were once a bastard son of English gentry, or a London student whose family has fallen on hard times, or a Chinese orphan, or an Australian trader; but here in a gold town you are what you make of yourself. And there is plenty to be made, for the fields are rich. Miners are bringing back nuggets and dust in vast quantities for the bankers to register; while the hoteliers, drug dens and members of the oldest profession attempt to relieve the diggers of their payment at the soonest opportunity. Politicians too have been drawn in, as Westland is soon to be made a county of its own.
But wherever there is fortune there are those wishing to create misfortune. Smugglers looking to remove pure gold without notifying customs and perhaps without any legal claim to it, while bringing in the opium that so many are addicted to; blackmailers, hoping to find or create dark secrets from which to profit; various shysters and scammers plotting to ensnare the vulnerable. To survive in the wild West Coast you will need your wits, and favourable stars guiding your path.
Places will close at 2100 GMT on Monday the 25th of August.
The first deadline will be at 2100 GMT on Tuesday the 26th of August.
The last game I played in with a deadline like that there was almost no activity around deadline except on the last day and the activity was game winning snipes by Cliges and I. Still there was very little effect on the actual gameplay, aside from you have to out wolves earlier.

Well that's the Big over, so if someone wants next it's theirs. If no one is keen a break might not be a bad idea though. Too many players away.
You have a willing volunteer, but I'm not allowed to host at the moment. I am claiming the next lite, however.
But I just restarted school, so I won't be on usually until at least 4, if not 5 or 6, so the deadline would be late in the evening.

You know I've never hosted a game before, I was going to give it a try over the summer...
Oh well. Definitely not enough time right now.

Well if no one else wants to host it... With all the players gone it will be a small game anyway, nothing I cant handle.
I await the "Oh nos noobs cant host bigs." But nobody else is stepping to the plate, so, either somebody else comes up, I do it or we wait until someone else does it.

Patience is a virtue after all. We don't need werewolf games constantly. You just started school right? Bigs require more commitment than lites, for roles and traits as well as players, and it may not be the best time for you to try and start one.
agree with aeden, It's fantastic that you're enthusiastic, but like me, with classes starting hosting stuff will be a problem
Well this is actually the best them save for the summer or Christmas/Easter break for me to do this, because the first two weeks are easy, and many of my things have not started up yet. Besides there will not be as many players as normal
Smaller=/=Easier. In terms of the mechanics of GMing you just have to count a few more votes and over the course of the game handle a handful more orders. Balance wise it's much harder to do with a smaller number of players because their are fewer movable parts. Ask Panzer, who did a bad job of this, or Kiwi who just did a good job if they would have rather had more players.
OK fine guys. Though I call Christmas break since I won't have time to host a big again until then.
