Planned Changes: Newbie Game Deadlines

I can't find the last time you played a newbie game.

This is feedback from people who are actively playing the games. Therefore, their feedback is valuable and worth acting on.

Please can we stop being so negative about every single change we try to introduce. Give it a trial. See how it goes.

From a personal point of view, 10 days for Day 1 and 2 would be ideal, and then 7 days for days 3 onwards.

However, I'm willing to take a chance on 7/2.

To clarify - days should not begin until the full player list has posted. Then the first day should be 10 days or so, and then get shorter as time goes on.

sometimes people flake before/as they get their role PM and it can take a few days to get a replacement. i think i actually played a newbie game where that would have made the dayphase *longer* than 14 days iirc

My issue is that you could also have a day phase where one slot might not post.

I have an issue (in general) with this idea. I think that it's not the game moderator's job to say if you're posting game advancing content, because that's overstepping the bounds. If a player wants to just prod dodge then it's a valid tactic and it's up to the rest of the players to decide what to do with that.
