Scheduling Question
Hello, all potential players! We have a question for you about scheduling. We plan to have check-ins about the status of character bonds approximately every two weeks, followed by an announcement of who's killing who one week in advance of the actual murder. For the sake of everyone's convenience, we think it makes sense to attach AC to every other check-in.
With that in mind, which of the following options would be more convenient for you as a player?
1. Scheduled by the month: The first check-in and AC go up in the first week of the month, with the resulting murder happening on the 14th. The second check-in goes up after the first murder, and the resulting murder would happen on the 28th. This would lead to the murders being slightly irregularly spaced since there would be a couple extra days at the end of most months, and the murders would happen on different days of the week depending on the month.
2. Scheduled by the week: Check-ins are posted every other week, announcement of the murder happens the following Saturday, and the murder happens the Saturday after that. AC would be attached to every other check-in. This would mean AC would be very slightly closer together at once every four weeks as opposed to once a month, and wouldn't be in the same part of the month consistently, but that murders would be guaranteed to happen on weekends.
3. Something else: If you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them in the comments.

Like option 2, but announcement of murder 1 goes up on the first Saturday of a month, with he murder happening the second Saturday. Then the second announcement goes up on the 3rd Saturday and the second murder happens on the 4th. If there is a 5th Saturday in that month, it can serve as a gap or special event or something.
Mostly this keeps the drama happening on weekends (where many people are free) while preserving a 'stuff happens at mid-month and at the end of the month'.

Adding something extra for a fifth Saturday when needed does sound like a good way to keep a week-based schedule and having it come out more similar to the monthly schedule, though. We might try something like that. Thanks for your input.
