addendum toward game time
If you don't firm whether you're playing by 6pm Wed., well, then you're not in the game, are you. Almost goes without saying, but I thought I'd make that clear.

I've sent the rough chart below to Hookbill, to turn into something pretty. There are a few permutations on it that will take some of you by surprise, I wager.....
Nogrod = Diamond | Eonwe=Lhunardawen ... Azaelia .... Firefoot * * * * mormegil = (passed on) | Jenny Hallu ... Celuien = The Saucepan Man | Naria ... Kitanna * * * * Sleepy Ranger = Roa Aoife | Caranlondien ... Glirdan ... Lommy * * * * Spawn = Nilpaurion (or 'passed on' if he doesn't play) | Kath (yem) * * * * Alcarillo = Cailín | the phantom ... Eomer * * * * (passed on) | Lalaith (guardian) | Oddwen (orphan) * * * * (passed on) = (passed on) | Feanor (widow) ... Valier (never married) (sisters) |

Eek, I had forgotten - I'll be in Detroit at the ballgame on Sunday May 21, so don't look for me that day. Or likely the evening before.
I've always wanted to play in a secret-role'd village. Cool. ++ HIDE THE ROLES Aagh, I'm flip-flopping about this vote already... And I'm already dreaming about this game. Or, at least Diamond's battledores. (Ick ick ick ick. You don't wanna know.)

Me and Fea as sisters.....one widow, one unmarried.... Almost like Patty and Selma... Hee Hee
I for one vote for some knowledge of the roles or I fear I will be terribly confused.

Naria's status is Eligible young maiden, so I think she is a girl and cannot be someone's brother.

Yes, Elempí.
I'm in.
About children . . . I've heard that families with advanced bloodlines in old villages were either made rulers or killed. And since we already have a mayor . . . . . . Well, I guess it depends on the missus. spawn, do you want broodlings or not?

So I have daughters? If that's the case SpM is my son-in-law. Hmmm this could get interesting

Eomer, single some lass out to receive your romantic attentions.
Dad and Mom (Alca and Cai), one of you be the older brother or sister of someone, like Sauce. Fea- you're a widow. Hmm.... let's say that it was my older brother (and Eomer's) that was your husband. Yes...perfect... Our family must grow. GROW!

Oddwen, my poor neglected ward, do you want us to be part of someone's extended family or are we just disconnected flakes? (Mind you, I'd quite understand if there were no volunteers among the village dynasties to take us on....)

Is all this relationship-stuff related to the game in any way? At least it will make for some hilarious first day posts.
I want to be betrothed to Kitanna, O won't you say yes, m'lady? Cailín was happy with the choice; Alcarillo is not sure. I have only recently returned to the village, seeking my brother The Phantom whom I desire a loan off of. It came as a great surprise to find my former love Lhunardawen married and settled down with Eonwe. Welcome to the game (and the Downs), Loki — hope you're prepared for what you're getting yourself into.

An idea: There are lots of unattached adult people. I (and other children as well maybe) could do with a loving godmother or godfather. (More candy, you know )
Then, to the questions I have this time: - I have to check, but isn't it so that our hunter takes a person when s/he dies only if s/he is killed by the wolves? - what if the gw gets most ww votes? - do we have retrackies?

So I guess I'm just a loner than? Some migrant manual laborer who just wandered into town and happened to get a job? Sounds fine, I guess... I was halfway hoping to be married off by LMP. I'd be much too shy to ask someone myself.
Well, if the game starts Wed., then I'll probably have to drop. I have a final that day (actually, a few finals ), and even if it starts later in the day, I'll be doing some extra sleeping and driving the next 24 hours. So, in short, I'd miss out on most of the Day 1 fun, which is some of the best banter of the whole game.

Lom-Lom, there are no retractable votes; and I think that nothing happens if the GW is chosen by the wolves. Hunter-variable is down to LMP, but Hunters have been known to have a free kill regardless of who kills them in the past (Mormegil slaying Abercrombie immediately comes to my mind!).
Does "be betrothed" even make sense? Why am I using words that I don't know how to use? And Cailín: I presume you meant: "How did we ever manage to produce two such improbably wonderful sons?"

People with time contraints- If my reading of the rules is correct, all days and nights will last 48 hours untill the village is small enough to go back a regular schedule. (After all, with 30 people trying to talk, it'd be quite hectic if we onle had 24 hours to decide with. That's not even taking into account the myriad of heavy posters we have playing! )

By the way, Loki, I've taken note. Welcome. I'll add you to the list once I'm back at my own home computer. EDIT: We're going to begin the game one day later than originally scheduled so that Gurthang can play. That means the official start is 6pm EDT (10 GMT) on Thursday. Well, that brings us up to 30 players. The sign-up for players is hereby officially closed. This is gonna be fun! Last edited by littlemanpoet; 05-08-2006 at 09:58 AM. |

Sorry to double post, but I just realized:

And just to double check -- does the Hunter not get to kill of s/he is lynched? ONLY if s/he is taken down by Wolves?

I'm not sure I can give my blessing on Kitanna's betrothal to Eomer...She is my granddaughter after all and I MUST have a say in this. Eomer is more suitable to be married to the sea as a pirate than my granddaughter.
Can you believe he never once asked my permission?

I had no idea Kitanna was attached to you, Mormegil; but now that you mention it, it wouldn't make a bit of difference: we're an infatuated young couple who don't ask for permission.
(Or are we? Where is the lady in question to settle this?) Ok, let's clarify this Hunter position. Does the Hunter get to kill only if attacked by wolves, or does s/he get to kill if lynched by the village too? I say ++Give Hunter a kill whichever death s/he suffers

All right then. Fea's deceased father was your brother, Mom. Fea and Valier are my cousins. And Sleepy Ranger is my uncle, my father's (Alca's) brother.
