Admin thread for WWJ VI "Return to Midsomer Mawlin: Kill me again" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mithalwen · 03-09-2006, 03:21 PM

This will be a back to basics game similar to the original Werewolf game moderated by the Barrow Wight himself oh so long ago.

Ideally there will be 13 players. 11 or 15 are possible depending on demand.

There will be 3 wolves and 1 Seer and NO OTHER GIFTEDS.

The Seer will be permitted to dream on the first night.

There will be retractable votes. However if at any point during a DAY there is a true majority, votes will stand.

I will take in to account however the wishes of the players when deciding on double lynchings.

Days and nights will end probably at 6pm GMT

I hope to make a start soon. Possibly on Sunday evening but that will depend on how many takers we get.

I will post full rules in due course but due to recent shenanigans Please read and note the following:

I have neither the time or the energy to draw up legislation that would govern the machinations of minds more devious than my own.

The wolves may PM by night. Any player may PM me. Othewise all other discussion should be on the open thread and be open.

Any form of code or private communication I regard as unacceptable particularly in a "junior" game. I will stop the game if I feel it has been compromised.

Being a mod is a lot of work and I am starting a new assignment next week (sorting out NHS budgets - if I get through that I guess it will be on to ending world poverty and making world peace

) . Anyway, while I have been waiting a long time to mod again and have lots of ideas for the game, I do not want extra stress. So be nice children!!!!

Before you sign up please think if you will be available for the expected duration of the game. With such a small number of players it should be a short game but it is therefore vital that all players are involved.

Obviously some things are unexpected but if you know you have exams, are going away or will be otherwise unavailable in the next fortnight PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP.

You do not need an "occupation" . I am going to amuse myself with fictional detectives/investigators again. If you have a preference PM me do not post on the thread....

I think that :

Boromir88
JennyHallu
Sleepy Ranger

are playing.... I had thought Eomer was but he may have overcommitted

If they have changed their mind can they let me know.

Otherwise please sign up below indicating a preference re double lynchings.

I suppose I can follow the rules:

Lemme in, lemme in! I'm going through manipulation withdrawal.

And I'm cool with double lynching.

Kitanna · 03-09-2006, 06:12 PM

Mithalwen, modding another game? Gasp! Sign me up!

Boromir88 · 03-09-2006, 07:33 PM

I'm going to go against double-lynching. With a low amount of players the game is bound to go fast already, d-l will speed it up more, and we certainly don't want that now do we?

Diamond18 · 03-09-2006, 07:52 PM

I would like to play.

I just recently read over The Barrow-Wight-modded original game and thought it looked like a lot of fun, but have been hesitant to sign up for the other games which have become more complicated.

I'm assuming a double lynching is when the villager vote is tied between two players and both are excuted? I have no problem with that.

Anything that might be different from the original game, let me know, that's all I've read.

Formendacil · 03-09-2006, 10:00 PM

Rats.

A perfectly simple, back to the basics, completely dictatorial game...

And I'm commited to Nilp's.

Even if it wasn't discourteous or unchivalrous to partake in two games simultaneously, I fear that my brain should overload were I to try.

Such a pity...

Ah well, I'll be watching. Meanwhile, I back off to the zany land of Ened-in-Nowhere.

Kuruharan · 03-13-2006, 05:49 PM

Due to the volume of requests made to my person...one of them being from a rather unscrupulous individual who I actually do owe a favor

...I'll throw my hat (hood) into the ring if there is still time to do so.

I hope you (and you know who you are) are happy now. Just no complaints if I wipe the floor with you.

Firefoot · 03-13-2006, 06:23 PM

Nice to see you around, Kuru!

mormegil · 03-13-2006, 07:04 PM

I am excited to have you in Kuru.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-13-2006, 08:26 PM

Kuru! I've not played with you since the very beginning. Let's hope this time you don't convince the only other villager to kill me.
