Admin Thread for WW LVIII: Escape From Angband (Or Behavioral Modification)
WW LVIII: Escape from Angband (Or Behavioral Modification). Coming soon!
RULES No double lynches. First to reach vote tally dies in the event of a tie. PMs must be received at least one hour prior to deadline or they will be denied. Ultimately this is of course at the moddess's discretion and extenuating circumstances will be taken into consideration. All PMs received before the aforementioned time are accepted, even if a death among the 'gifteds/evils' occurs. This means that if a player is killed during the Night and they have a pick/kill/hunt/dream/etc their purpose is still achieved, regardless of their demise. If the moddess's PM box is full, please direct PMs to Mnemosyne, who will act as co-mod for this game in the realm of PM overflow, and who will also answer questions in the moddess's absence. Her word is law unless it contradicts the moddess for some inexplicable reason (e.g. she just wants to screw with you all....) All Nightly PMs (e.g. seer dreams, hunter picks, etc.) will be replied to approximately one hour before deadline, in order of importance as dictated by the moddess. Retractions. Two per player, which extends for the length of the entire game. If a player has used their two retractions and attempts a third they will be modfired. If you have any issues with game performance (e.g. you will be gone because you are an idiot and wrecked your car....oh, wait, that's me....sorry) please either post on the admin thread or highlight such announcements. Be kind to your moddess. I'm a bit thick....and I own your soul for the duration of the game. Deadline. I'm up for anything between 8pm and 1am CT. If my calculations are correct this would be between 1am and 6am GMT. Please correct me if I'm wrong. When you sign up feel free to put your preferred deadline and I will take everyone's opinions into account. (As a warning, on Wednesdays if the deadline is before 10pm I will either call the Day/Night late or will have to have Mnemo call it for me, as I will be at church. Otherwise I should be fine, so I'm willing to go with what is best for you all. Just let me know.) Now with the formalities out of the way, it's time to get to the....erm, fun stuff....for me that is. ROLES X Were-ducks (yes, ducks, although really it's just that way for narration purposes) Modified Seer Modified Ranger Modified Cobbler Possible Modified Werebear Possible Hunter Lovers (possibly multiples pairs) Other secret roles This section will be updated as I type things up, but for now a few disclaimers. Keep in mind that this game is called Escape from Angband. According to Mnemo, this is the closest reference to an insane asylum in Tolkien. (And I like the sound of it! Yay!) This means that the game will be far from normal, although mechanically it won't be all that out of the ordinary. It is important to note that everyone in this game will have a role. These may be gifteds, modified baddies, or even tricked out ordos, but no one will receive a PM that simply says "You are an ordo. Have fun!" This game is, as the title implies, intended to be an individual mind trip for all those involved, and will require you all to think outside the box in terms of how you normally approach Werewolf. With that in mind, you will each receive personalized PMs detailing your obligations and/or role for the game. Some will be fun things for you to do or contain information about Daily challenges you must complete, while others will be highly specific and may contain the moddess synopsis of your playing style/memes. (In advance, no offense is meant to anyone, except of course Phantom and Mith. All of you are fine people and fine players, but since I want to create utter havoc with your brains I first have to identify and disassemble the way you behave now in order to have my fun. Any assumptions I make are my own and no one else's, so if you have a problem with the things I assign for you please feel free to PM/IM/e-mail/call in a couple cases/send me anthrax/facebook me with questions or concerns.) In short, if you sign up you're basically handing me your sanity, recessive personalities, spare time, and popsicle sticks. I will screw with your head, so be ye warned all that enter here. Not to worry though. This will be fun! Now, if you survived all that and still want to sign up, feel free. Sorry for writing a novel, but I'm really bad at explaining things. I know I talked to a bunch of people on IM about joining, but please do sign up here just so I don't leave you out, as I'll be using this thread as the official list and, as you know, my memory kind of sucks. I typed part of this on Word and then added bits in as I went so I probably have typos and inconsistencies on things. Any questions (and I'm sure there will be) let me know. And no, in advance, I can't really explain the 'modified' gifteds. It's one of the secrets of the game, but I wanted to let you all know that I did in fact have gifteds. Have at it, loves! Hope to start as soon as I get enough people! ~~Sally~~ ADDITION: Deadline is tentatively set for 10pm CT, or what my computer tells me would be 3am GMT. If anyone has huge problems with this please let me know. Thanks~!

So. I do want to play but don't know if I'm going to have the time to devote to it. Put me as a maybe for now and I'll have a decision made closer to start time.

Oh wow. I can see this causing much undue mental stress on top of everything life (mostly school) is throwing at me right now.
I guess I'm in. |

Looks like an insane game...
So I'm most definitively in although I have a lot of essay-reading in the near future - I'll just steal some time for this. And I really need to make it to Day3 one day...

As long as you aren't including actual lobotomies... I've no preference on time frame. March 26-29 I will be on a trip, though I will have my laptop with me. But, won't be superduper active - if they are game days. xD

But only once! Scientific experimenting requires additional testing, you know. And when the scientific experimenting deals with humans we should remember that humans not only act differently on different situations but they may actually learn from their previous mistakes... So I do recall that game from years ago it seems. There were four of us left: two goodies, one cobbler and the wereduck. I tried to make the other goodie to realise s/he had to be careful with her/his vote as I was not able to hang online all the time and the first to gain the two votes would die in the end of the Day. Spm took the hint and voted me - only to be followed by Kath's immediate vote on me as well. I see now I was too pressed to call my only ally left there and got caught by Spm because of that. But those are just nice memories now... That game was intense and fun to the end. *sighs*

Yes. I mean what I say. He's not playing in the game. Which is okay, because it means we can pick on him and he can't do anything about it. I assume you're still playing? Not too desolate over the loss of ickle Phantom Pants to play, I hope. Re: Kath duck. Heh. Just....heh.

So after a serious conversation with Brinn that went something akin to the following, it has become painfully clear that there is no way that I'm not playing in this game.
The conversation: Brinn: More people need to sign up. Like you. Mira: But I have so much to do...Ah f**k it. We all know I'm playing anyway. Took some hardcore convincing, let me tell you. And preferred deadline would be 11 or 12pm EST.

I have absolutely no time to actually play this game next week as I will be trying to write a 20-25 page paper for my senior sem class...but I'm in. As Brinn, Mira, Fea, and Laura's Kelly are telling me to play and threatening me.

I've been lured into joining this game with the promise that I will get to lynch the phantom on Day 1.
I'm in! (though I won't have that much time to play, so don't expect many posts or long analyses...) |

Meh, werewolf is much more important than anything else. With that in mind, I expect a full analysis on each player every hour or you're modfired. (Kidding, of course. I'm not that evil....am I?) Fea, I bloody love you. That is all. Quote:
Woot! Bubbles? No, no bubbles. The bubbles are mine. ++Mira For stealing my bubbles. [/moddess snark] Please note that I've put up a tentative deadline of 10pm CT, which can still change. I just wanted to have an idea of when it would be, and two of the people who have expressed a preference liked that one best (and I know Shasta has no life hehe) so for now I'm up for that one.
