Just do not let that concern you too much.

I think the game itself can easily make you forget such "outside" things, as you will have more pressing matters to concentrate on - whether about catching Wolves or trying to prevent yourself from being caught...

skip spence · 10-03-2010, 05:33 AM

Can't help feeling ever so slightly curious about this Ozzy person too...

When is this set to get started anyway? Or are we waiting for more players?

Well Lommy said we'd probably start on Sunday, if we had around 14 signed up and ready. There's 13 now, that's a good number for a standard game.

*Stands in crowd to yell "Get on with it." *

Thinlómien · 10-04-2010, 05:02 AM

But but Boro! I want 14 people because I think a village of 13 having a cobbler is not a very fair thing (although, I will make the cobbler a little less powerful mwahahaa) and we all want to have a cobbler, don't we?

That means I still want one more player. Come on lurkers! You know you want to play.

And this message is also to say welcome Greenie and Pitchwife.

I think we'll be starting Night1 tomorrow whether we have 14 players or not then we just don't have a cobbler. If our cobbler appears in the next 9h though, Night1 will start already today...

Now off to sketch rules and/or narrations (what would be a better way to avoid studying for Wednesday's exam...)

Thinlómien · 10-04-2010, 05:40 AM

Okay, the rules are up. They are found in the first post of the thread. (The cobbler rules are in parentheses because it's not clear yet whether we'll have one or not.)

Eönwë - I still need an occupation from you.

Stalkers, we still need one more player if we want to have a cobbler.

wilwarin538 · 10-04-2010, 07:20 AM

*gives in*

Ok, I'm in! I wanted to take a break from WW for a while....but I changed my mind.

Thinlómien · 10-04-2010, 07:46 AM

Good girl!

Welcome Wilwa (and cobbler).

Means we start today (eeks, does that mean I have to start writing the first narration at some point?), in some 6+ hours. Since I'm about now off to paint for a few hours, it might be the Night is slightly shorter than usual but we'll see.

Yay, now I'm getting excited.

If there's still somebody out there who wants to play, you have 6 hours and 15 minutes to do it.

Thinlómien · 10-04-2010, 12:06 PM

Oh, Wilwa and Eönwë, unless you come up with descriptions for yourselves in the next 1,5h I'm going to make you both professional hunters (and you'll have to come up with the details later).

Still about that 1,5h if there's somebody out there who wants to join. Night1 starts in 2 hours, I'm currently writing the opening narration.

Thinlómien · 10-04-2010, 01:22 PM

Closing the sign ups now.

Will start randomising the roles now and you can expect them to be sent out within an hour.

Night1 will begin in 40 minutes.

Boromir88 · 10-04-2010, 01:38 PM

Wow Lommy, when you get rolling there's no stopping, you just keep going and going and going...

Thinlómien · 10-04-2010, 02:00 PM

The thread is up and Night1 has begun.

Remember to turn yourselves invisible, and enjoy the game!

Thinlómien · 10-04-2010, 02:04 PM

The roles have been sent now. If you didn't get one, please PM me. I think you all got one, though.

And just realised the phrasing of Ozban's "occupation" is rather funny... wonder if I should change it.

PS. And Boro will be modfired if he still comments on my flood-posting on this thread!

I'd just take over.

That being said....

*starts stalking the game thread*

Thinlómien · 10-05-2010, 11:06 AM

Two things I want to say before anything gets misleading -

1) All the gifteds will be referred to the narrations as "she"s and all the wolves as "he"s. This was decided already before any roles were given out, so no use basing any conclusions on it. In case I accidentally deviate from this, I don't take any responsibility on your basing any kind of conclusions on it.

2) If Agan seems to be hovering around somehow related to this game and commenting on stuff, it's because she is the unofficial co-ish-mod-ish. This also explains her comments on some role PMs you got. Please refrain discussing her comments on your role PMs though - that is just as much forbidden as quoting something like "Your ww role: you are a wolf alongside with x and y." or discussing the content of the PMs like "Lommod comforted us poor ordos by saying our role is her personal favourite". If she said something incredibly funny (which I doubt she did) you can send her a PM to congratulate her on her excellence or say it in the aftergame.

Aganzir · 10-05-2010, 03:04 PM

I'm the roommate who has access to Lommy's computer, you see.

Glirdan · 10-05-2010, 04:00 PM

So I'm just saying I'm around, but I have to head off to work for a few hours shortly. I should be back within the next four to six hours or so and will get caught up then.

Eönwë · 10-06-2010, 06:51 AM

I'm sorry, but it turns out that I might only be around for the last two hours or so toDay.

Shastanis Althreduin · 10-06-2010, 04:19 PM

I will never - never - clarify a rule for anyone ever again. Ever. That's the only reason I was lynched and I fully blame Lottie.

Go wolves. You guys suck.

- An extremely frustrated Shasta who has never been Seer before and was summarily lynched while not around to defend himself, apparently for the crime of clarifying whether or not the Hunter killed an innocent if lynched.

Nerwen · 10-06-2010, 11:59 PM

Sorry for non-vote– I just didn't know who to vote earlier, and I wasn't able to get online nearer DL.

Not that it would have made much difference.

Thinlómien · 10-07-2010, 02:01 PM

Just letting you know you shouldn't draw any conclusions on the gender of the mystery person in the narration based of my usage of "he": it was chosen to differentiate from the ranger being "she".

(The same logic will go for all narrations in the future, in case I need to talk about someone unnamed.

)

PS. Eönwë and Wilwa, if you want interesting death narrations in case you die, please give some details about your occupations.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-07-2010, 02:42 PM

Just an announcement - as I have also said on the game thread, I will have to vote early toDay, and then again, on the contrary, I won't be around during the most of Day 3 and likely be around only close to its end (in case I am still alive at that time). Just so that people don't expect me to post when I am not around...

Folwren · 10-08-2010, 07:37 AM

Ya'll killed your seer on Day 1? Sorry luck there.

I think it's pretty funny, actually.

Okay, I'm done commenting. Have fun.

Glirdan · 10-08-2010, 03:21 PM

I'm sorry everyone

I went to go take a nap and I guess I ended up sleeping through the alarms I set

Thinlómien · 10-09-2010, 02:05 PM

Haha, thought I should share that I finished writing the narration at 7.59 PM gmt.

And not commenting on the game itself, except that it seems quite eventful this far.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 10-10-2010, 02:47 PM

Just a general message to everybody... initially I was slightly sad for dying because I cannot participate anymore, but then I have decided that I will definitely be following the game... really closely... so you have the Dead watching you

And I am all cheering for my side still...

satansaloser2005 · 10-10-2010, 09:42 PM

I'd just like to pop in and point out how much I'm enjoying reading this massacre....erm, game. It's very entertaining.

Glirdan · 10-13-2010, 08:52 PM

I want this game to end now so we can start discussing and so I can start yelling at the Wolves and Boro

Haha, right? The one time we're Gifteds together, and they just had to ruin it

Thinlómien · 10-14-2010, 09:53 AM

I will end the game once I have written the narration... which might take a while because I suddenly started to feel lazy but I think it will be there before the usual DL...
