Here are the roles/rules that I've got in mind-

Roles
3 Werewolves
1 Ranger
1 Hunter
1 Seer
1 Mytho

Rules
Double-lynchings shall be allowed.

No retracable votes.

If you haven't voted for two days straight (even if you're active) without proper reason will lead to you getting killed off.

You're welcome to suggest whatever you want and also I'd like everyone to vote for whether or not they want the above written rules.

I hope a deadline of 9pm GMT would suit everyone but its flexible so you're welcome to state your preference.

***

Moving on, I've been thinking of a new system to toss into the game but of course if the 'Downers are against it I'll scrap it. Which would probably be likely since Kath pointed out people would want a simple game but have a read anyway, this system won't change much.

Instead of making the innocent folk completely defenceless against an attack I've been thinking of using a D&D system to determine whether or not the kill was sucessful. Of course the wolves will be ridiculously over-powered so the odds of a villager killing them, much less surviving will be very low so more often than not the selected target will die as per the normal game. I really doubt this will do anything other than give the village folk a bit more hope but as I said its your call.

And another note, with the current system the lycan has till daybreak (20 turns) to kill the target and an ordinary villager will die in two succesful hits so it'll take a lot of luck to survive an attack.

So then, what do you think? Yes or no?

Mod

Players
Menelteramacil
Glirdan
Macalaure
Diamond18
THE Ka
Thinlomien
Celuien

Also, if all of you would kindly PM me the name of a musician (or anyone related to the music industry) when you sign up. This game will be Battle of the Bands themed and your deaths will probably relate to the person you picked.

EDIT: Since some people seem to be confused by this, you do not need any knowledge of D&D to play. All that will be handled by me and/or the co-mod if there is one.

Glirdan · 08-01-2006, 12:59 PM

I'm holding you to the parley Sleepy!

And does your musician pick have to be a singer, or can it be a band??

Meneltarmacil · 08-01-2006, 05:22 PM

I have not changed my mind, Sleepy. I will in fact be playing in this game.

I personally am not for the D&D system here, as I prefer the more traditional approach.

Roa_Aoife · 08-01-2006, 06:30 PM

The D&D system dpesn't particularly matter to me. Essentially, the villagers would have to have inordinately good luck (or the wolves would have to have inordinately bad luck, depending on your perspective) for it to even make a difference.

Perhaps it would be interesting to apply it to both the ranger and the hunter as well? But that may be left to another game....

I'll sign up tenuously, since I'm not sure where Valier's Golden Hoard game will be at that time.

Macalaure · 08-02-2006, 08:53 AM

As I've already said in the main thread, I'm in.

I'm fine with the rules as they are, but there's one question I have: What is a mytho?

My musician shall be Trent Reznor.

Diamond18 · 08-02-2006, 04:51 PM

I think we're not supposed to say our musicians/bands here on the thread, Mac.

I think the D&D stuff applies to all the roles, or at least that's what Sleepy said a few weeks ago.

At any rate, I already told Sleepy I'd play but I supposed I should post here to make it official.

It's official. Weee.
