Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVII: Ballroom Blitz - Admin Thread
Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXVII: Ballroom Blitz
All residents of the Barrow are cordially invited to the Black and Wight Ball. Black and Wight attire is recommended. Masks are required. RSVP as soon as possible. Sincerely, Your Woman-of-the-Secret-Shadow of a hostess, Thuringwethil (Durelin) About the Game: Days = Dances 24 hours RL time = 1 Day = 1 Dance Nights = Rests 24 hours RL time = 1 Night = 1 Rest The band will play on, regardless of whether or not the villagers wish to dance or to lynch. When the music is not being played, well, someone will not be able to find a seat, and the wolves will find him or her easy pickings. In this case, being without a partner is more than simply socially unacceptable. In place of the usual pretend ‘roles,’ you may choose who/what you are going to the ball as. (All of this dancing nonsense is just for fun. You may call Days and Nights simply Days and Nights, and you may think of the village in normal terms. Playing along with the ball setting is optional.) Among your partners you will find: Preferably at least 10 Ordinary Villagers 2 Werewolves 2 Cobblers, each with the knowledge of one Werewolf Rules: 1. Double-lynchings are allowed. (Subject to change, if desired.) 2. Retractable votes are allowed. 3. The Werewolves work together, and converse each Night, including Night 1. They choose one kill each Night, excepting Night 1. 4. Both Cobblers want the Werewolves to win. One Cobbler knows who one Werewolf is, the other Cobbler knows who the other Werewolf is. The Cobblers do not know who each other are. 5. The Werewolves do not know who the Cobblers are at all. 6. Let's try no editing! 7. Keep the severity level down. ~*~*Guest List*~*~ Durelin as Thuringwethil (Mod and Hostess) CaptainofDespair as The Witch-King (Co-mod and Host; will play if needed) mormegil as a (Kewl-Shades) Rude Boy Kath as a (Beautiful) Butterfly Farael as a Fair-looking Orc Rikae as an Entwife Nogrod as a Nice Choirboy Lalwende as a (Mischievous Little) Christmas Elf Kitanna as a Rejected Band Member wearing a bag with eyeholes (teh ugly bag?! ) Naria as a Spoiled Heiress wearing a Venetian half mask Macalaure as a Mime Celuien as a Cowgirl Valier as a Flighty Young Woman wearing an exotic colourful bird mask (clever!) Eomer as Vorgram, Ancient Prince of Wargs Cailín as a Robin Holbytlass as a Court Jester Folwren as an Elegant, Cold, Stoic, Mysterious Countess Go ahead an sign up here! Sign up in the next day or so and you might get a complimentary invisible cookie absolutely possibly free! When you sign up (or soonish after you sign up), please let me know who/what you are going to the Ball as. Thank you! Last edited by Durelin; 12-18-2006 at 11:20 AM. |

When is your preferred start-date? I'd like a game over the holidays but maybe other people want to start sooner.

Well, there is a mix...for some people, the holidays are better. For others, they need a game to start very soon. It all depends on how much interest I get really soon, I suppose.
I don't want to close sign up early, though, because I want this to be a large game. Basically, if I get a good number of players quickly, I'm going to start the game as soon as I get "enough." If it takes longer, than I'll let sign up time be a little longer, and we might end up playing during the holidays. If a number of people are available except for on Christmas Day, then it might be possible to "pause" the game for 24 hours. We will simply have to trust our wolves to not use this time to PM among themselves (I will declare this against the rules), so they don't get any extra plotting time. Sorry I can't really tell you more. I'm flexible, but this is a tricksy time of year, I know. As for starting/ending times: I am in EST. If the game gets started very soon, the start/end time can be anytime between about 3:30 pm and 9:00 pm. If the game does not start for a little while, then I may be more flexible (anytime between 12:30 pm and 9:00 pm, really). |

I'm in, though I miss the double lynchings.

I do too...I'm hesitant only because that will be easy for all four of the nasties to use to their advantage.
We'll see, though. And may I know who/what you are going to the ball as (whenever is fine, just reminding/making that clear)? Only so I have something to work with. |

Alrighty, I've decided that double lynchings will be allowed! Because I do love a nice, bloody game...
I still need a role from Cailín and Lal. (This "role" is purely for fun, and just to give me something to mess with if I get to write a death narrative for you. You can have fun with it during the game, as much or as little as you'd like. The "role" you choose in this game will be what you are attending the ball as, or it can simply be who you are and include what sort of mask you're wearing, as some have done.) |
