Say, how much time/day does a Big game demand from its GM?
You need about an hour around deadline and then it's good if you can check PMs sometime during the day in case you get any rule questions.

Say, how much time/day does a Big game demand from its GM?

My own experience is that it requires quite some time. Let's say 3-4 hours a day.
But, OK when I'm playing a serious game it also takes that amount of time. (and yes I think it should be reduced).

I did a lot of things, when I GM-ed. For example.
1) Posting regular post counts.
2) Preparing an update, which I had to rewrite sometimes.
3) Reading all the non-order information I received from players. Although it was useful for writing a GM AAR.

Not all these tasks are necessary. So I think you can do it in 1-1.5 hours.
But that's just my opinion.

I'd say it takes just as much time as fully participating in a game (ie not just voting, but analysing, vote counts, PMs etc). So an hour to a few hours per day depending how much effort you want to put in - how much RP, how many vote counts etc - seems about right. The difference of course is that screwing up as GM has a few more consequences than screwing up as a player, so you're constantly triple checking everything.

Ah yes, I suspected as much. Maybe another time then.

Therefore I would prefer to have games with only 3 deadlines a week.
It would reduce the time required for both GM's and players significantly.
Unfortunately that idea has been shot down in the General thread ...

Your prospective GM disapproves of that idea... Imagine what it would be like to be hunted night 1, as I often am. Then, you wouldn't get to play werewolf again for more than a month.
