Hey now, it's not my fault I'm not part of a family. Every time I try to take out your jewel of a daughter, your wife starts swinging her battledore and screaming "You stay away from my Zali!"

Really, really, really old grandparents.

And I fixed the mix up with Jenny's role. Oops.

Can't deny it.

We need some single people around to gang up on.... I mean, provide variety....

Edit: Though, come to think of it, Eomer is in the market for a brother, tp. And the thought of you two troublemakers as brothers just makes my fingers itch for the battledore.

Ooo! That'd be interesting! As long as I'm not related to Kath, I'm fine. You could put Naria as my brother and we compete for Kath that way. Just make sure that neither of us are related to Kath.

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.

You're so mean, Diamond.

I'm hoping I can find an ally in your husband, Nogrod. Perhaps his many battledore bruises have made him sympathetic to poor souls like me who have suffered cruelty at his wife's hands, for crimes no worse than complimenting Zali on her fine work as a seamstress.

Naria ... Kitanna

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.

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.)

I for one vote for some knowledge of the roles or I fear I will be terribly confused.

No, I believe that it is I who is terribly mistaken. Yet, you can play either gender and (I am not sure of this, so Naria, correct me if I'm wrong) she could be playing a male.

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

Thumbs up 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?

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!

Phantom, dear, if you wish the family to grow why don't you settle down with a nice lass and have her pop out some babies, huh? Mum will find you a nice one.

Another son? Fea as a daughter in law? No thanks. You two will do.

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?"

Argh! I haven't played ww for ages (read: a month or a bit more) so I'm starting to forget the rules...

A note on posting times: I won't usually be around for the first half of the day (doesn't include weekends and exceptional days) , so don't wonder my absences...

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! )

Sun of a --- That's exactly what I had already worked out!

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!

Fine, but we can't call them that. Need a more non-religious Middle Earth name for it. Any ideas?

Quote:

Yes. At least, that is how I understand the Hunter rules. I've noticed some weird kills here and there that don't make sense to me, such as the Hunter killing the Seer; how does that happen?

Quote:
- what if the gw gets most ww votes?
The village attempts to lynch him/her and discovers that the player doesn't die; hence, "hey! a wizard! good or evil?"

NO! This is complicated enough.

This happens when the Hunter chooses the Seer as the one they will take down with them (by accident!) and then they are killed by the wolves at Night.

Well, Nogrod and I (and Firefoot so far) have decided that on Day 1 we are not going to vote for family members. I suspect this also means that as a family we will be prepared to bandwagon against those who vote for one of our clan.

After Day 1 everyone is fair game for suspicion and voting, but I rather like the idea of starting some family feuds on Day 1.

Gurthang, might you consent to be my butler/manservant/general go-fer?

All good eccentric maiden aunts need a lackey.

Sorry to double post, but I just realized:

Quote:
Nogrod = Diamond

Eonwe=Lhunardawen ... Azaelia .... Firefoot
Does Eonwe have no family ties to another family? Maybe if he was the son of another couple as well as our son-in-law....

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

I do hope you give your blessing Grandpa Mormegil.

Looking at these family trees, I can see the insanity of this game is going to top anything I've seen thus far.

I've already told you, Mum, I found a nice one myself- Azaelia, but we're not going to be popping out babies any time soon. She happens to like my adventurous side, and thinks it would be great to go traveling for a while and share in an adventure or two before settling down.

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. Notice how it says Sleepy used to be a "wanderer", just as I am now? You see, it runs in the family.

And that would make Roa my aunt, and Caranlondien, Glirdan, and Lommy my cousins.

With that support, there's no way we're getting lynched this time, tp.

Yay, I have a husband! As to the offsprings, don't we already have one - Kath? Hmm, we must be great parents if we've forgot if we have kids or not, but sure, we can get a few more.

Uh oh, so probably anyone who votes for you, Nogrod, Eonwe, Lhuna, Zali or Firefoot will get six votes on Day 1.

Nilp, we need to expand our family! Quick!
