LMS - Last Man Standing.. Not FMS (First Man Standing) - This game is for night time only, not morning, afternoon, or evening.. NIGHT TIME ONLY!!

At night while most of the world is sleeping there are some members which are looking to socialize since they have no one else to speak to; they play a really exciting and fun game which basically every couple minutes you write a comment, the comments range from standing to sleeping, from young grasshoppers to old grasshoppers. it usually begins around 1:00 am EDT

RULES OF THE GAME:

1) Game starts at 1am Eastern, 12am Central, 11pm mountain, 10pm pacific... You get the point.
2) Anyone can call a roll call, just make a reply with "Roll Call". The roll call must be readable to the naked eye.
3) No more than one roll call every thirty minutes.
4) You have 30 minutes to respond to the roll call to stay active.
     4a) If you miss a roll call at any time you are disqualified for the rest of the night.
5) To respond to a roll call just post a reply with "Here." (Anything can be considered a valid response as long as it's clear that you are
    responding to the roll call and not just posting in the thread.)
6) If after one hour there are no more "Roll Calls" or "Heres", then the last person to post correctly either by calling a roll call or with a reply of "here" is declared winner of LMS.
7) You must have been awake for at least 12 hours before making or answering a RC. (This rule does not apply on Saturday night.)
8 ) You are not allowed to have notifications for this thread or any member in this thread. pending approval
9 ) LMS is not played on Friday nights.

10 ) Rules may not be edited, skewed, changed, removed, or hindered in any way by anyone without sheriff stature, or without the explicit unanimous agreement from said sheriff(s). See bylaws.
11) There is no rule #11

OR IN SHORT:

When someone calls for a roll call. No more than one every 30 minutes and you have 30 minutes to respond "Here".

I'm too tired to think about the details but who cares? Because someone won we have to be bored? Why can't we continue playing after someone won? We can have someone win second place.
Sure you can play.  :)

I guess the depends if you are automatically disqualified if you miss the first roll call or not. akivak did a roll call within an hour of the last "here" so technically it was valid unless you say he was disqualified from playing as he wasn't here during the previous two RC's.

Even if that were so, Shulem92 called another roll call within an hour of Grodnoking's response which would keep the game going. He was active as of the first RC

Not giving up my crown so easily  >:(

If that was your basis for saying the game was over then what about this

Not necessarily, I agree it's not clear. It never specifically states that you need to answer every roll call to be in the game.

What if you haven't been up for 12 hours at the first roll call, but you hit 12 hours awake at subsequent roll calls?
