Admin thread for TIG Whatever - Mith's game
UPDATE:
I will post the game intro in time for the start but this is the basic game set up for the benefit of all (the gifted know a little about their roles). 18 players (singers) 3 wolves (Critics in this game - they do all the off stageslaughtering in the opera!). they PM at night and attack one player each night. They win when their number equal the number of non-wolves. 1 cobbler/spy (Walter Plinge - the name is a theatre joke and should not be taken as gender identification - opera is a gender bending environment - if Walter gets referred to as he it is because it is a male name) Walter gets to spy on one other player each night and learns their role. This information is passed to the critic by a dead drop at the beiginning of the next night before Walter goes spying again. So the critics and Walter are ignorant of each other's identities. If Walter is "lynched" the wolves will obviously not receive the previous nights info. 1 seer - a dreamer of dreams. Will learn the truth of a player's identity each night. 1 Diva/Divo. A singer so great that they are impervious to the attacks of the critics (unless they become an overwhelming force at endgame) . May be "lynched" or killed in error by the avenging soulmate. (see below) 2 soulmates - opera throws up some great partnerships and these 2 know each other so well that they cannot be decieved as to the other's identity. The may PM during day phases only. If one dies the other lives but may try to avenge them by taking out one other singer. NB As I said, opera is a mixed up world for gender and no restriction was placed on gender combination when drawing for these role. You are invited to "audition " for my forthcoming Opera themed Werewolf game. I hope to start as soon as I can after the current game finishes and would like an idea of numbers so I can decide special roles. Anyone interested in playing please post stating preferred voice type/or non singing role (this does not have to be your true vocal range - this is a game ), region you wish to represent and ME race, stage name if different, and whether you are a definite (DVWP) or a maybe. Yours as ever, Mithalwen. Audition List : In approximate order of altitude.... Satansaloser?, soprano Feanor of the Peredhil, Belfalas (mezzo-)soprano Ilya, mezzo-soprano Kath Aganzir, Minas Tirith contralto Gwathagor (Gwathagorio), lyric tenor/spinto Shastanis Althreduin (tenor leggierio / lyric tenor) Nogrod (typically indicisive - anywhere between lyric and buffo - or baritone ) The Phantom (typically versatile and with great range) TGWBS Meneltarmacil - baritone Macalaure Gollum the Great? - bass-baritone Boromir 88 basso profundo, Rohan “I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge.”

Oooo sounds intriguing.
Before I consider signing up, though, do you have any idea when the deadline will be? Like, a rough guess? (I'm going back to college next week and I'm not sure what my work schedule will be, so I would hate to join the game and then have to pull out)

Once I get back to college, my internet won't be nearly as sporadic. I can play.
I'm Shasta (obviously), I'm a high tenor, and I'm definately playing.

I'm absolutely in! The last game was the poorest I've ever made (join D1 two hours before the DL, miss D2 and get killed the following Night... ) so it's time to make that one good. And Mith's game! I'm looking forwards to this.
In the choir I'm in I'm also a high tenor but I have to admit I have great trouble reaching those highest pitches. So I could be a second tenor or being truthful a baritone.

I'm in, and I'm probably a baritone myself. I'll be the guy that always wants the "bad guy" roles and does really well at them for some reason.

I am Aganzir and I suppose I am an alto. Also, I'd like to have a question mark after my name for now. And I would have applied to a non-singing role if you hadn't said you want to have the bad guy roles, Menel.

My name is Gwathagorio and I imagine I am either a lyric or a spinto tenor. If the game starts soon, I am a definite.

I'm trying to convince one of my room mates to register and play... I'll let you know how I succeed.

Oh, she wouldn't admit it to you.
But at night, when she's alone in the dark, she pulls the covers over her head and trembles, fearing that once again her dreams will be invaded by Phantom-Wolf. The Phantom of the Barrow-Downs is there... inside her mind.

So I find it ironic that I finished singing two songs from Phantom in my voice lessons last semester and you quote one.
And I have a question for you, because I've seen your avatar before, and I was wondering where its from. I have a theory. And yes I realize there was no question mark in that sentence. And yes in the dark of the night I will possibly slightly cower with fear.

You doubted wrong.
I'm Fea's suitemate. Prefer Lariren, soprano(as I am one) and from Ithilien. I think that's all. I seriously hope this is better than the game I played before(on a different sight with messed up rules). |
