I'm in! I'm in!
I'll be a crazy ex-ranger who thinks the solution to any problem is "hit it with a sword," and is frequently drunk out of his mind.

For my character, now that this game takes place in Bree, I think I will use my last one again: make me Barney Broadbottle Jr., a smith who detests all music, and opera especially.

I think I shall be one of those lovely people that uses their charm, cuteness, and generally adorable nature to obtain favors (and food) from other people in the village, who does nothing of her own but sit around and 'beg' (though I'm beyond begging, of course ) for her bread.
Or, as my roommate/duck says, I'm a female Pippin. (Word that however you like, Mistress Moddess)

May I play? And may I be the dark, mysterious, hooded and cloaked figure (yes, a big person)?

Okay, I'll be an ex-bear-tamer who is currently occupied with farming carrots. A big person, of course. (Can you imagine a hobbit taming bears?) My, this looks like a lovely game.

I'm so happy to see so much interest.
I still need a few occupations and races from people and while I wait for that I'm going to work on the opening narrations so we can get this game underway tomorrow.

I'll be Miss Lommie Mugwort, a young Hobbit who just has to put her nose in other people's business. (So, another female Pippin, I guess. )

I am going to be a hobbit, too, to balance things a bit (though it still seems quite unbalanced). "Old Leggy", a silly old herring dealer (I have dealings with the Elves, reputedly. How else would one get sea-fish here).

I was originally planning to sit out for a game, but I just can't! Oh, what it is to be addicted to WW.
I'll be a hobbit. And as for an occupation...how about a pie maker?

I'm going to send them now. If you don't receive a PM you're an ordo. Tomorrow will be Day 1. This is also a last chance for everyone to give their race and occupation. Anyone who doesn't leaves that decision up to me and I'll make sure they're awesome occupations.

Oh goodness, I thought the deadline was at least four hours later. Well, it's 8am for us Finns, so I will be voting dreadfully every Day. And this also means I don't know how much I will be able to post toDay: I have school, and work, and I promised to see my friends because I was counting on being able to write to ww tomorrow morning when I have an hour off... so I'm afraid you'll get just a few points from me toDay. But after that I should have no problems (except, as said before, i will be voting really early because I'm not waking up earlier for ww, I'm not that mad...)

Well, what am I supposed to say: it's 7 AM for me. But anyway, I should have time to stay around for longer and post sufficiently during the Days, as my timetable is more or less free. Except for the thing that I won't be probably around for the whole Day 2, but I hope that won't be such a big problem, as I really should be active enough on the other Days.

I am going away with my family for the weekend and may have trouble getting Internet access. I will do my best, but don't be surprised if you hear little or nothing from me on Day 5.
Also, the power supply to the area goes out rather often– so if you don't hear from me at all, that's why.

I'm just letting you all know that I'll be out of town on Saturday and thus will be unable to post. Sorry about that, but I'll be back by the time the next Day starts on Tuesday.

I think there should be consequences when people deliberately continue posting after deadline.

However, she started it (*points to post about having the highest post count*) . (Ok, one third of my age...) EDIT AFTER KIT's POST: I didn't post this to boost my post count here! I thought that contest was on the game thread!! I just wanted to apologize and engage in some self-deprecating humor. Last edited by Rikae; 01-31-2009 at 03:34 PM. |

Ah well, poor village. I don't think it stood much chance in the later days, anyway.
But the Wraiths really did a good job... as well as Mr. Ferny, even though he cannot discern Wraiths (may I know though, why did you think I am Frodo?), but you actually kept being a thorn in the village's side, which was quite sufficient. But we had a brilliant Seer!!! ...In fact, she was the only person who had caught any Wraiths at all And when it comes to me, I suspected only Nerwen in the beginning, and Aganzir just before I died... and we all know about the rest (*coughsorryFeacough*). Hey, in other words, I was completely at loss, but it was an amusing game. And I managed to survive quite long! YAY!!! (In the few previous games, I died on Day 1, or very early... that was quite depressing... so this game was actually good. I was afraid for start that it might be like that...) Oh, and Mac. I was pretty certain you are up to no good almost all the time. I must say, by saying that you are a known innocent and emphasising it all the time, I hoped also that the Wraiths might possibly be persuaded to think so as well and kill you at Night, which would be quite helpful and no real loss for us. Of course, it was a slight chance... and had I known who the Wraiths were, I wouldn't have even bothered to try... But great game! And I really liked to play with all of you, especially those I haven't played with before... now I hope to play with you more in the future, once that I have had a "first encounter" with you! (And Menel! It was nice to play with you once again as well - and I knew you were innocent! Yay!) And, of course, thanks to Kitanna. The special roles were quite an addition - one just had to think about them all the time... Special thanks: To sally for the poems and to Rikae, her sidekick (with not as many posts, unfortunately. Poor one).

Well, Mac, good for you: I didn't figure you out until the end of the day the village killed me. I knew perfectly well you weren't a wraith in this game, but I wasn't convinced of cobbler until it was too late (I was leaning more toward Rikae for that role).
Beautiful playing, baddies. Good try, everyone else. Thanks for a game that I loved watching, Kit. Oh, and Legate: I accept your apology.
