Admin Thread for Werewolf XLVI: Insert Clever Title Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Meneltarmacil · 04-01-2008, 12:10 PM

OK, following a suggestion on the main thread, I've decided to keep things fairly simple. You'll be living in a remote village in the Vale of Anduin, surrounded by pine trees.

Roles won't be ridiculously complicated, though I will throw in some unexpected twists if we get enough players. I'm going with "unknown roles" for now; that is, whether the village has a Seer, the number of wolves, etc. will not be listed and you'll have to find that out for yourselves.

The deadline will be set at 5 PM Eastern Daylight Time/9:00 GMT, or if I'm off on that, it's about three hours from the time of this post.

List of Players:

Aganzir (Cobbler)
Gwathagor (Lawyer)
Kath (Turtle Herder)
Legate of Amon Lanc (Frog Hermit)
Lhunardawen (Pinecone Collector)
Mithalwen (Lumberjack)
Nerwen (Veterinarian)
Nogrod (Ale-Barrel Salesman)
Oddwen (Maker of Naughty Pine Furniture)
satansaloser2005 (Therapist)
The Elf-warrior
Thinlomien (Mad Hatter)
Volo (Explorer)

Aganzir · 04-01-2008, 01:36 PM

I would personally prefer to know which roles there are, but I suppose I'm fine even this way.

Count me in.

edit: Shall we pick occupations? If yes, I shall be a cobbler.

Meneltarmacil · 04-01-2008, 02:15 PM

Yes, occupation-picking is fine and encouraged. The crazier the better, in my opinion.

satansaloser2005 · 04-01-2008, 02:53 PM

*jumps at the chance for more WWing*

Occupation have I none at the moment. I'll get back to you on that. But I'm in.

And the possibility of not knowing who/what is in the game? Fabulous!

Nerwen · 04-01-2008, 07:37 PM

Count me in!

Gwathagor · 04-01-2008, 10:49 PM

An opportunity to kill beastly werewolves.

Of course I'm playing.

So what if you're a wolf again dearie?

Nerwen · 04-01-2008, 11:30 PM

Then he'll have to commit suicide. Seriously, Gwath, what is this anti-wolf sentiment all about? Shouldn't your location read, "Hates all Seers ever?"

Gwathagor · 04-01-2008, 11:36 PM

...werewolves are bad...I resent their existence.

satansaloser2005 · 04-01-2008, 11:56 PM

Gwath my dear, see a therapist. If you have self-loathing issues, you really should get them taken care of.

Wow. Idea. Unless I think of something better, I think my occupation will be therapist, widely-versed but specializing in diagnosing and treating fetishes. *chuckles* Thanks for the idea....*gives the Gwathmeister a reason to be angry with her*....Gwathie-poo. *scurries out of the room, and hopefully off to bed* Analyze THAT, Freud!

*already setting up insanity defense*

And Gwath, don't worry. If you ARE a wolf in the next game, I'll be happy to kill you.

Nogrod · 04-02-2008, 04:37 AM

I'm having crazy times at work ahead the next two weeks and will probably not be able to play.

If the game's start gets postponed a lot I will reconsider.

Kath · 04-02-2008, 04:46 AM

Oh I so want to play but I'm going to be internet-less in Lancashire from the 4th to, er, 9th I think. Will it be going over those dates Menel?

Meneltarmacil · 04-02-2008, 05:20 AM

I doubt I'll even have enough players to start it then, so you're fine Kath.

EDIT: Oh, and I've added you to the list, if that's all right.

Kath · 04-02-2008, 08:03 AM

Yay! *dances* Yeah that's fine Menel, I wanted to join.

satansaloser2005 · 04-07-2008, 11:51 AM

*bump*

....Because we need some more players so we can get started.

*whispers* Hmm, sally... What do you think of this? I make them boot fetishists, you try to cure them and we share the profits... Do we have a deal?

Menel, you should maybe start sending invitations?

Meneltarmacil · 04-07-2008, 12:35 PM

OK, I'll send some invitations out tonight.

Eeeeeeexxxxxcelllent. *drums fingers and laughs maniacally with Miss Agan*

Gwathagor · 04-07-2008, 03:29 PM

Good.

McCaber · 04-07-2008, 04:07 PM

I hope you don't mind if I sit this one out. I've got a pretty major paper due in a week.

Kath · 04-08-2008, 08:55 AM

Right! Hello again, how is the sign up going?

No problem. Believe me, I understand. *has many large papers of a doomy nature due in a couple weeks* What's your paper on, if I may ask?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-08-2008, 01:26 PM

Well... I was thinking of having a break, to save some time for other things, as I am counting on participating in the Dueling Wizards and so better use the time as much as possible before that happens. If the waiting is too long, I might join, but otherwise, I will probably have a break from this one, as to manage all other things... but don't lose hope, and enjoy the game anyway

McCaber · 04-08-2008, 05:16 PM

The science, technology, and medicine in William Gibson's Neuromancer, and how the uses of such relate to the real world when it was written.

Gwathagor · 04-13-2008, 04:51 PM

More People!!! Join!!! Now!!!

Kath · 04-13-2008, 05:47 PM

Or, actually, join in about three weeks. I was hoping this would have started last week as my exams are coming up thick and fast! I'll leave myself on the list but with a question mark ... grades come first I'm afraid.

Nogrod · 04-14-2008, 04:51 PM

My deadly weeks are going to close pretty soon so I may be in with this pace of drafting... I'll be more free from the next weekend onwards so you could sign me up as it seems there is no rush to start this before it...

Lhunardawen · 04-14-2008, 08:53 PM

I think it's about time I join another Werewolf game.

And please, anybody, tell me not to commit suicide again. I (should) have no reason to be suicidal this time.

satansaloser2005 · 04-14-2008, 10:33 PM

*celebrates*

Yes, come one, come all, for if the game doesn't get started in the next couple weeks, I won't be able to play. Cursed finals.

Aganzir · 04-15-2008, 06:43 AM

I highly doubt the game has started by then, but maybe better inform you anyway that I will be away for this weekend.

Aganzir · 04-22-2008, 01:03 PM

Hmm, maybe more invitations would be of some help.

The Elf-warrior · 04-22-2008, 03:02 PM

I have school until the 30th of April, and I start again on the 23rd of May. I shan't play until school is over, but I think I can handle it if the game is still going on when school restarts for me. With that qualification, I'd like to join in, if it's not too inconvenient. If I take part, I'd like to be a poetaster.

Kath · 04-22-2008, 04:09 PM

And indeed if the game starts on or after the 1st May I am back in without a question mark.

Meneltarmacil · 04-27-2008, 09:20 PM

OK, I'm still accepting sign-ups. Doesn't anybody out there want to play?

satansaloser2005 · 04-27-2008, 10:15 PM

*signs up again so that Menel and his admin thread get some love* I invited a person or two through PMs. Even tried to get one of my lurker friends to join, but to no avail.

Gwathagor · 04-27-2008, 10:54 PM

Surely SOMEbody wants to join...surely.

Thinlómien · 04-28-2008, 03:12 AM

I was intending to sit this one out (to have a pause...), and still am... but I kind of pity you all.

If my life gets a bit less busy I'll sign in, I promise, I just have a enough to manage in all the schoolwork this period...

Lhunardawen · 04-28-2008, 05:50 AM

I think more people will be available come May. Actually, there might be a certain phantom who can join if the game starts after May 9th - I think.

Oddwen · 04-28-2008, 07:52 AM

Heeeeeeey...*waves*

Ummm...so I dreamed about playing WW last night...and it wasn't a nightmare so...I reckon a twenty five game absence is long enough.............

May I join?

Volo · 04-28-2008, 09:45 AM

Oh dear! Oddwen! Have I ever played with you? Probably not, so I really can't miss this one. As long as it doen't start this week, I'm nearly ok.
