WW CVII: Restless Nights in Sleepy Hollow

In the quiet town of Sleepy Hollow an evil presence is taking over the night.

The roles:

3 Wolves - Want to destroy the village by killing one innocent every night
Seer - Dreams a fellow player at Night
Ranger - Protects a fellow player each Night

If there are enough players I would like to try another role: The Wildcard. The Wildcard can chose his/her allegiance or chose none. At Night the Wildcard can decide whose team he/she plays for. If the Wildcard chooses the village he/she takes on the role of the Hunter. If the Wildcard chooses the Wolves and is killed during the Day he/she takes down a villager at random. If he/she is attacked in the Night he/she becomes a fourth wolf. If the Wildcard is not turned he/she may choose to change allegiance once during the course of the game. Should the wildcard not wish to take a side in the event of a neutral Wildcard being attacked or lynched he/she will take down another villager at random. Again, I'll only do this if twelve or more sign up.

Rules:
Day and Night phases last for 24 hours.
Votes are to be highlighted:
++Kitanna
If you fail to vote two Days in a row, you will be modfired.
In case of a tie, I'd like to flip a coin to add some randomness, but if no one else likes that idea the first to garner the most votes will be lynched.

The deadlines that work best for me are anywhere between 7:30-9 PM CST (-5 GMT) or 6:30-8AM CST (-5 GMT). I can do whichever of those works best for everyone else.

Sign ups are now open.

Anyway, Lieutenant-Legate reporting in.

A couple of questions (well, somebody had to ask):

1. Can Ranger protect him/herself?
2. Can Ranger protect the same person twice in a row?
3. Optional question in case we have the Wildcard: Will the Seer see the Wildcard as a Wildcard? And will they see their allegiance or just that they are a Wildcard? (Anyway I guess the whole Wildcard concept will need more explanation, but that can be saved for later.)

1. No
2. No
3. The Wildcard will appear as innocent unless the stars align right and he/she is attacked while allied with the wolves. In which case the Seer will dream him/her as a wolf.

One thing I forgot is that if this game goes past October 17-20th I will need a co-mod because I will be out of town that weekend.

On related terms, sadly I barely have enough time (or mental stamina) to check my email on a more-or-less-daily basis. So no WW for me. But I will follow as much as I can - at least make note of deaths and reveals.

I received a request from a player about being assigned a role they haven't played in a while. If anyone else has a special request for a role feel free to PM me about it. I'm not making any promises that you'll get that role, but I will take it into consideration when I'm assigning things.

I am a little worried about playing now that I have a desk job! It was bad enough when I modded.

As to deadline, I'd prefer either 7:30 PM or if that doesn't work, 6:30 AM CST. If I play between 2-8 AM, please kick me out or ignore anything I say because I am really not supposed to be there!

We have ten players right now, so just enough for a simple game. I'll leave the sign-up open until tomorrow night and then shoot for a Thursday start. DL will be at 6:30am CST. Sound good, friends?

Hm. Give me a day or two to see if I can rope Phantom into playing.

Also, is that AM a typo, or is that the actual deadline? Just making sure.

I can push it to 7:30am but looking at my evening schedule for the next few weeks those are the times I can 100% guarantee I'll be home for my moddess duties. I know it's painfully early for those around the CST timezone.

Okie dok roles are sent out. If you didn't get one you are an ordo. I'll be putting the game thread up when I awake.

Since there were only two votes for how to handle ties (1 against coin flips and 1 ok with coin flips) I did the logical thing to break the tie and flipped a coin. And thanks to the wisdom of the coin flip in the event of a tie the first to garner the most votes will be lynched.

Did everyone die and not tell me?

I am going to be unavailable at the time of DL for toDay, but thankfully Agan has been nice enough to lend her services and call "time". And maybe if you're lucky write the narration too. I'll be back a few hours after DL to narrate Day 4 if not. Should the game continue beyond toDay I'll only have access on my phone so narrations will be shorter than they already are.

Make me proud players, make me proud.
