Does this mean straight into the weekend freeze?

I fear so, yes.

[Olar Ethil]

Also available fore a monday timer unfreeze.

[Path-Shaper]

Monday is a national holiday here, too - I am fine with restarting the clock on Tuesday instead.

[Okaros]

That'll help the beginnign of my week, too.

[Nenanda]

Bah! This past Monday was the holiday here in Canadia, and I played!

[Denesmet]

I think we should play through holidays unless they're international ones.

[Nenanda]

Truthfully I'm indifferent! It'll give me more time to figure out what I'm going to do for the next cycle!

I agree here. Once resolution happens people can get their orders in and it shouldn't matter if there's a weekend happening or not. This isn't regular mafia

Well, that's been a wrap for the past 30 minutes. Day has ended.
I will do some resolution in the next 5 hours, but I might not have the time to do all of it.

Expect the Excels tomorrow morning, CET time.

CET is a funny time zone, does it always vary like this?

All I know is that I haven't got mine yet Checking every 5 minutes. Can't stop myself!

[Denul]

I'm fine to play on Monday. What's a holiday?

[Omtose]

Only time I've been logging in to email regularly for months

Yeah, about that... The GF is recovering from the flu, which means that I seem to catch it.
This morning, I started playing the Witcher III, just to get a taste of it, planned to quit after an hour or so and start modding.
Instead, I got a major headache and went back to bed. I will spend tomorrow at home, might find some time then. Monday I will be out of the house, for sure.

My GF ate my homework and then threw it up? Likely excuse.

Marco Mercatore was a young man. A very young man, in fact.
And here, surrounded by grizzled veterans twice or three times his age, many of them knights who he admired, the Duke'son was accutely reminded how little he had, as of yet, achieved.

Still, their presence was just that. The players in this particular game were him, and the lady opposite him. A lady in armor, with luxorious long black hair, warrior's calluses on her hands and dressed in boiled leather under a loose drape of silk, from under which bloody bandages peeped out. Her sun tanned skin had faded to ghostly white, sweat beading on her forehead.

"Lord Mercatore," she greeted him, in a much deeper voice than he had expected. Honed by shouting commands over a battlefield, he supposed.
"Milady paladin," he said, bowing in his third most elaborate way.
"You bring forces to my doorstep," she said.
"Mere reconnaissance, milady."
"Nevertheless, we are not allied."
"Alas, Milady. I wish we were, and I am very sure the Pape is most eager to correct this oversight, especially once I inform him of your desire to bridge our differences."
"Will he now?" She frowned.
"Most probably not, milady. Especially not when he learns of your physical discomfort. He will see it as weakness."
"And how is his physical... condition?"
"That depends on who you ask, milady. Myself, I am worried about his age and physique, but many insist that the Pape growing a fourth chin is only fitting for the Prosperous Father. Speaking of health, what happened to you?"
"Assassins. If not for my field surgeon, I would be even worse for wear."
Marco nodded. "I am sad to hear that, milady."
"Why, milord?"
"I would have offered you single combat with swords for the safe exit of my men, milady. But you are in no condition to face me, so I will not challenge you. Unless you are willing to duel me with pistols?"
"Oh, Marco." She laughed, and he smiled, a little hint of sadness seeping through. "What would your father do, if he were in my chair?"
"Decline, because you have three times the men I do."
"What would the Pape do?"
"Crush my men while I am talking to you."
"What would you do?"
He bowed, and smiled. "I would prolongue the conversation, since it is perhaps the only time I can enjoy the dazzling company of the The Rose of the South without her paramour getting in my way."
"What would you do?" She smiled. "I am extending our conversation, Lord Marco."
"I would publicly demand surrender, milady. Knowing full well the other side cannot accept. I would then maneuver and envelop, and only then engage."
"You are a cold man, Milord."
"Milady, you are someone I admire. Your courage, skill and leadership I can only aspire to. But I am a student of war, and I seek a victory as complete as I can."
"Then you are lucky that I am not you."
"I am not lucky, Milady. You are who you are, and you wouldn't change it for anyone. I knew the moment I entered your tent. I didn't count on you being wounded, and I feared it would change your answer, or have others answer for you. I apologize for doubting you, Milady.
Will you give me fifteen minutes to return to my unit, to prepare my men?"
"I am who I am, Milord Mercatore. Fifteen minutes, and then, open battle."

He bowed.

How long is fifteen minutes in mafia time?
