Reader mode
[X] look for an alarm clock or something similar, set it up then sleep.

Edited to add paranoia caution.

[X] Wonder why a death needs to even sleep at all, and then wander around for a while, to explore a little bit more. Hell, maybe meet a few other residents. It would be nice to meet other deaths. Wait... Nevermind, just read the book thoroughly, and take a power nap.

Alright.
So I'm gonna do the math there in a minute when my headache shuts up.

But for the future, could you keep different versions of the exact same vote to a minimum?
 
Alright, so that's 6 sleep.
5 (Read the damn rules already! Then Sleep.)
3 Alarm clock.
And 1 vote made convoluted to annoy me that doesn't actually count because of it.
--
So, Sleep it is!
Unless said convoluted vote would like to change his vote to be less bullshit?
I'll give 30 minutes.
 
So I was wondering earlier.

I've been running the character's thought processes and such and going for big updates to avoid pointless votes.

Do you like that system, or not?

Like with the sheet of naming situation. The book told you to do it, and so I rolled to see if the character would actually do it.
Would you have liked a vote there instead, or no?
The pro is that you'd have a little more control, sometimes pointlessly.
The con is that you'd have to wait through more votes and because of this, the game would run even slower.
-
The way it is I'm gathering personality from your votes and expanding on said personality.
Like for instance, trait gained from succeeding with the book roll, was "follows directions when in danger instead of panicking"

So if another situation arose, there would be no roll. That would be your response to that situation..

Thoughts?

It's not to bad, but I wouldn't want to end up with a bunch of bad traits from a few bad rolls.

The huge decisions will always be done by voting, allowing the overwrite of bad traits with better ones. If for instance your life was actually on the line there? I would have made it a vote.
Figured it best to just "roll" with it.

But I totally get what you mean.

I agree as well, but I doubt it would slow down too much. Probably run at about 60% to 70% speed. Less substance per update though...

I don't either, personally. Just worried about losing people's interest with pointless votes.

    You decide the rules can wait, and take Rose's advice. Falling onto the plain bed in front of you with a thump.
    Unlike in life, there's not really a sleeping phase. An undetermined amount of time passes in the blink of an eye, and you wake up fully alert. Staring at you from up above is a red face, well more specifically, a skull.

    "You're awake." He says simply, as if there is nothing wrong here.

    You stumble over the want to ask him what the hell is wrong with him, but realize that given previous experience, he may view that question as pointless. Which... might not end well.

    "You've slept in. I expect you in an hour, you're to meet me in the mission room." And then he's gone, just poof.

    What do do with your hour?

    []Find a place to train with the book, you might need the edge of knowledge during today's activities. If Rose is to be believed anyway.
    []Rose said the rules aren't actually all that urgent, but what does she know? Not knowing could get you killed, so read!
    []You're a mess, you look plain out dead on your feet. Maybe you should visit Rose, maybe ask her about how she stays groomed. Might be important.
    []Write-in?

    -[X] Hm, teleportation was simple, maybe you can freshen up by imagining it too. Doesn't hurt to try.

    Edited vote to include imagination shower.

    It seems likely to me that 'staying groomed' in this place is about as difficult as moving from place to place and gone about in the same way. I want to test that theory.
