Oh, good. I am relieved. I will definitely be able to mod, and I can start planning before I leave, I just couldn't start it, realistically, within a week.
Thanks, to you both! -- Folwren

Out of respect for the game in progress please refrain from signing up for the next game until the current game is over.
Thanks

Mormegil, Nogrod, others... I've decided not to mod this game. Reasons for not doing so are in no way connected to anyone here, so don't worry about it.
![]() Have fun, everyone. -- Folwren

Nogrod, would you be able to begin within a week or so. As the opportunity came somewhat sudden and you weren't expecting to mod so soon there will be a grace period if you need it.

Just some preliminary revelations & questions...
What I can reveal already is that I would still be going for more than one Ranger. I think it's high time to see a real battle where the goodies have an actual chance to really fight back and where the baddies need to consider their kills with some more thought. And to balance this, I think the wolves should be given two kills a Night as long as there are three of them... (the numbers will of course depend on the number of players) But it's up to you too. I'm not wishing to try and stage a game no one else is interested than I myself. Would you like a game that would have in it an air of insecurity? One version of the game I have thought includes the idea that the players would not fully know what is going on (aka not knowing all the roles in the game). These facts would be revealed by the narrations (not the facts over who is who, of course, but the facts of which kind of roles there are - and there would not be any shifting roles: everyone stays in the role they are given in the beginning!) but they would have to be thought about, giving something more for the villagers and the villains tochew about. (Just trust me on this. I have thought of a host of different initial arrangements and how would they play and have tried to come up with one or two possible ones that seem equal) How would you like a kind of a Gallup before the game? I thought one way of enlivening the Day1 could be revealing the results of a villager-poll where people could have "secretly" told me (by PM's) before the game who they are afraid of and who they tend to look at symphatetically (I would be making a formal questionnaire on this to every player by a PM before the game starts). Infused into the Day1 narration that could give people something to pick up upon as the results would be the shared beliefs of the village (with no individual points revealed). Just one more way of trying to make the Day1 a bit more reasonable... After all this, I also admit enjoying the really basic games. It's up to you which one you wish to take on. A mildly experimental one (with more than one ranger and possibly one or two other extra-roles, like a seer, a hunter, a cobbler, or something; possibly unknown to the villagers but by interpreting the narrations) or a basic game. I'm happy with both, but would surely like to try the ideas I have been entertaining in my head the last month... These thoughts I think should be shared here. After I have enough points on one way or another I will start an admin thread where we can continue this untill all is set. Up to now it seems that Durelin and Rikae have signed up to whatever comes. Also I have talked with Lommy today and know she will be in too. So the preliminary list of players stands in: Durelin Rikae Thinlómien Feel free to join and make your comments on the above questions. The admin thread will be opened as soon as there is some preliminary agreement on behalf of enough of the people whether we will go for a game of rangers fighting the wolves in one or another version or with a basic-basic game... PS. I will be considering the importance of any "WW-character roles" with the result of the kind of game chosen, so at least for now there is no hurry in getting an occupation as I'm not sure we'll need them.

Hmm... It's too hard to resist...
![]() I vote for the most confusing version you have thought of. But first: When does Day end? When (about) will the game be going on? Next weekend I'm off to somewhere... |

Well, I'm all for experimentation! Anything that will require new strategies, and keep us on our toes...

The (updated) attendance so far:
Durelin Rikae Thinlómien Volo Kath Kitanna? I could take up to 16-18 players, but we'll see how many we'll be able to sign up for this one... The Deadline would be something like 9-10 PM GMT. With an avalanche of argumentation I might change it, but at least for now this would be the most convenient for me and securing I can take care of the endings and the beginnings of the days / nights...

I predict being thoroughly confused ... but count me in Noggie! This experimental version sounds like fun.

If it's all the same to you, 10 pm GMT would be infinitely better than 9, as far as I'm concerned; 9, or 4 EST, will find me still in school Tuesday and Thursday.

Sounds interesting and I'd like to play. But I may not be able too. Nogrod if you could please put a question mark by my name. I'll have definite answer in a day or two.

I mean 18 players would be just luxurious but we can start with about 15 too. All this makes the starting-date move there and fore. I'll try to come about with an admin thread tomorrow.

The admin thread is now opened. It is here.
Please continue the discussion about this one there. Signing up will be made there too. I hope to see you in the game that throws us back to the things that gave birth to the story of Beren and Lúthien!

As I understand it, this is the current list:
Mac Volo Menel Fordim Morm I've been preparing my game the last days, but if you have a good reason, Volo, then we could switch positions. Wouldn't be a problem to me. Otherwise, I will put up the admin thread within the next two days. I could start this weekend or early next week, whatever suits you. It is going to be a simple game again, three wolves, seer, ranger, hunter, cobbler and as many cannon fod..*cough* innocent villagers as want to join. |

The next list:
Mac has his admin thread underway so Volo Fordim Morm Rikae Volo, are you able to commit to modding the next one?(after Mac's) Fordim has not been in this thread since his "sign me up" post. I have no idea if he is still going to mod. PS: Sorry I wasn't able to get this info up sooner. RL is unfair sometimes ![]() Edit: Foley is unable to mod her game, therefore, Rikae you are on the list ![]()

I guess I can. Timewise it can be a problem as I'm away 1-10.03 and probably busy the next week. The game has been planned already for a long time, so the only problem is the time.
