Volo - the very hairy delegate from as far as it gets

Rune Son of Bjarne

The game will require at least 20 players, and sign-up will close once at least 20 players have signed up. The background to the game is set out in the game thread. The game takes place in the deserted village of Woodgard, where a moot is to take place to decide on what action to take to deal with a terrible evil which had befallen the land. Players should assume the role of delegates from other Woodsmen villages, who have been sent to attend the moot.

There will, of course, also be hidden roles, but the nature of these will not be revealed, other than in the briefings sent at the outset to those who have hidden roles. You may also be given additional information on the hidden roles in the narratives and, if you have a hidden roles, in any reports of the outcome of your Night-time activities.

General rules

The game will start with a Day phase.

There will be no multiple lynchings. In the event of a tie, the person who first received the highest number of votes will be lynched.

Votes are non-retractable.

No one should sign up if they think that they will not be able to post much throughout the game. There will be no modfire, though, so, if they do, it’s up to the players to deal with anyone who is inactive, or largely inactive.

You can make whatever claims in the game thread you want, but under no circumstances should you post anything that would give your claim absolute credibility. You are not allowed to post any PMs or other private conversation between yourself and the game moderator or other players. Infractions of this rule are grounds for immediately disqualification from the game.

Any explanations of absence etc should be posted in the Admin thread. Nothing else should be posted there during the game’s duration. Once you are killed, you should no longer post in this thread or the game thread, communicate with players that are still alive in the game. You're dead. Dead people tell no tales.

Unless your hidden role expressly allows it, you should not communicate privately with any other player, either by PM or otherwise, about the game. Again, infractions of this rule are grounds for immediately disqualification from the game.

Timing

The deadline for Days and Nights will be 11.30pm British Summer Time (BST=GMT+1). Those who have hidden roles which allow Night-time activity must send me details of what they are doing at least one hour before the deadline. I will allow some flexibility here, but anyone who fails to meet this deadline risks not having their chosen Night time activity take place.

Should the game be continuing on 15 June, there will be a short break of 4 days, as I will be away during that time.

And finally …

It’s only a game so don’t give offence. It’s only a game so don’t be offended.

Woo! First post! I am allowed to post now, aren't I? Sorry in advance if not.

Looking forward to this game, Saucepan. And I get to play with mormegil the Mod for the first time. Hoping to be a Gifted or better!

Okay. I was pondering now whether I should join or whether it wouldn't be better to have a short break, because I have really lots of things to do now. Two times I opened the thread to sign up and two times I closed it, because I decided not to. Now, for the third time, I just said "gaah, and so what!", thus, SpM, please sign me in. After all, I always managed to get some time for WW, and I surely will now as well. Hooray!

Looks good... Only seven players more needed.

I'm probably not able to stay online at the last hours everytime as it will be 1.30 AM here. But we have vacations coming our way as the school ends in the next weekend. And yes, from that on I will be sharing the computer with Lommy once again...

We'll just hope Lommy's little sis doesn't get too frustrated while we play... Or maybe we could at last persuade her to join a game! Although that would mean three people sharing the same PC.
