Admin Thread--WW XXXIII - Other Minds and Hands

[Rikae]

This will be a relatively basic game, with a couple of twists...:D

It's the year 2020, and we, the slightly more mature ghouls of the Downs, have come together with a noble purpose; to remake The Lord of The Rings as it should have been. Tom Bombadil and the Barrowdowns will recieve a full hour of screen time; the Scouring of the Shire another. There will be no lemming hyenas or psychadelic Galadriels; Gimli will remain deadly serious at all times, and Orlando Bloom...well, he's playing an elderly man of Rohan who is simultaneously impaled, beheaded and incinerated in the battle of Helm's deep.
Needless to say, this 30 hour epic will not be cheap to film; but we're in luck; the resourceful Volo has discovered a studio which is offering a 98% discount in the wake of certain...interesting events...which occurred during the filming of "An American Werewolf in Hamburg" last year.
We, being (for the most part) not superstitious, and (for the other part) trusting in the benevolent spirit of Professor Tolkien to protect us, have booked said studio and are scheduled to commence filming on May 14th (or later, if we're still too few).

I'm open to suggestions on the deadline; whatever is best for the majority of players is good for me.

Tentative roles:
4 wolves, who may or may not have additional attributes
3 unspecified and slightly unique good gifteds
other roles possible [EDIT: probable] depending on how many sign up and how diabolical I feel....

There will be clues in the narrations regarding what roles are included and how they work (but not, of course, the identies of those who hold them!)

Please specify an occupation related to the theme; that is to say, a member of the cast or crew (the actor playing Aragorn, the director, etc.)

Rules:

Everyone must be in invisible mode for the duration of the game.

Failure to post for two days will result in a horrible death at the hands of my ghost.

Please keep all RL explanations to the admin thread.

Dead people may not discuss the game on the admin thread until it's over.

Votes can be retracted once. Vote like this (except you don't have to all vote for Rune! A majority will do. ;) ):
++Rune
and retract a vote thusly:
--Rune

In the event of a tie, there will be a double lynch. In a three - or more - way tie, I will use a randomizer to choose one lynchee from among those who had the most votes.

Role playing is encouraged, but not required; but occupations will ... no doubt ... feature in the narrations. :D

NIGHT 1 will begin at 7pm BST on Sunday the 13th, and DAY one begins at 7 pm BST on Monday the 14th.

Rikae (mod) - CG Animator

Boromir88- Sir Boromir, playing Denethor
Mithalwen- Galadriel

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Here, Rikae, sir! (erm... lady) Legate, proposing his service as a sound master. But if someone else wanted the post, also coming to the competitive examination for the role of Saruman. I doubt that there'll be too many of us, so we'll be probably lucky to cover the basic roles. At least the CG animator will have enough job in making the rest...
...and if anyone appeared here and showed some special interest in the role of Saruman, I'm willing to drop it in exchange for something else, just tell me...

[Volo]

Haha! Sounds great, unidentified roles.... Woo!

I feel like I have to be the studio hijacker (or technician if I can't be a hijacker) as I for some reason am one already! :D

[Macalaure]

I'm in!

I would like to be the 7th orc in the 3rd row. But if somebody else would like to have that post, I'm willing to drop it for the 8th orc in the 3rd row. :p

[Boromir88]

Count me in for another game Rikae. And I shall be Sir Boromir the actor who will be playing the part of Faramir. :rolleyes:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Count me in for another game Rikae. And I shall be Sir Boromir the actor who will be playing the part of Faramir. :rolleyes:
Welcome on board, Boro! Let's hope we have more chance to interact with each other than in the last game :cool:

EDIT: Ahem, Rikae, I said Saruman, not Sauron... and I thought we are doing a movie without strange metal robotic creatures and/or eye-shaped power plants... though if we have some sort of "normal" Sauron, it might as well be interesting... but still, I wanted Saruman in the first place...

[Mithalwen]

This sounds fun ... I'd love to play if you'll have me ..but I am afraid by 2020 I might be a bit mature to play any of the major female roles - unless the expensive face creams really do their stuff ...I would be almost at the "Dame Mithalwen" stage :( so I leave the casting to you .. but please NOT Shelob ..though that was Fordim's choice long ago....

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Thought you'd gotten rid of me, eh? :P

Shasta signing up as Legolas's stunt double.

...Do I get my own trailer? :D

[Durelin]

I want to be the "bestboy" even though I have NO idea what it is. I just like the name.

*looks it up*

Okay, yeah, that works. I can work with gender humour.

Edit: *coughs* Right. So. Insert "May I join?" somewhere in there....

[The Saucepan Man]

Well at least if you're the mod, I can't mistake you for a Werewolf, Rikae. ;)

I'm in. I shall be the Set Catering Manager - a large, jolly, bearded and slightly balding fellow from New Zealand with a habit of going shoeless, and with no intention at all of sabotaging the project. No, indeed. None whatsoever. Honest.

[xyzzy]

++SPM

Um, I mean, I'll be the young fanboy who snuck in past the senile guard.

[Durelin]

Agh, wait! Rikae, may I switch to being the Special Effects Pyrotechnician?

Sorry for being difficult....

[Boromir88]

erm...I'm sorry for being difficult too...can I change to Sir Boromir playing as Denethor? I think I will have more fun as Denethor than Faramir. :p

[Durelin]

Denethor, eh...

...can I set you on fire?

[Boromir88]

...can I set you on fire?
As long as fire damage is covered by my insurance :rolleyes: :p

[Brinniel]

Rikae, you have climbed right up my alley. How could a film major not join this game?!

Let's see...I could be a bit realistic and be something I've already dappled in...but no. That just might make things more boring.. Time for me to branch out! I'll be...

The Wacky Foley Artist! Hehe...that should be fun. Besides, it is a career I have fantasized about before. :)

Now, I can't help but wonder...who is going to play the Gaffer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_%28motion_picture_industry%29)? Seriously. :D

[Thinlómien]

Count me in, because this is most probably either going to be my first game with a recovered net access, or the last game without one. :D Either way, I feel like celebrating it!

I'll be the actor who plays the non-winged balrog. :Merisu:

[The Sixth Wizard]

Yay! Another Werewolf game to keep that cursed social life of mine away! ;) May I join?

I think I shall be the "Mouth of Sauron Head Catcher" if that is not too far-fetched.

[Anguirel]

...I think I shall play the part of...Celeborn

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I think I shall be the "Mouth of Sauron Head Catcher" if that is not too far-fetched.
Ha, seems we have one loafer among us... because if I understood it correctly, we have no decapitation scene?!??...

[Mithalwen]

? I think I will have more fun as Denethor than Faramir.

Depends on who claims Eowyn's role :p

Though now Ang will be a truly wise Celeborn I guess it will be fights to be Galadriel :Merisu: *piles on the expensive unguents*

[Kath]

Noo Brinniel stole my role! Very well then, I will be the make-up artist if you'll have me Rikae. :)

[Thinlómien]

Having Kath and Ang return to ww and with all the other great players, this can't be a totally horrible game! (Not that I wouldn't trust Rikae... :p)

[Rikae]

Wow...this is taking off like wildfire.
I'd like five or six more players, at least, the more the merrier. If I get 20 players, I think we can have four wolves...

Legate is correct, Sixth - there will be no beheading. So you will be a very idle head-catcher :p (you can change your role, if you wish!)

I will still need time to prepare things, even if we have enough players...I trust you will be patient. I'll work as fast as I can!

Everybody that cares, go ahead and let me know what deadline-time would be best for you (in GMT, or tell me your time zone!)

[Kath]

Quite honestly if the game starts after Friday (which by the look of things it will be doing) any time is good for me, as I have two completely free of any demand weeks!

[Volo]

I would be relieved if the game didn't start for a week at least. The Day-Night change can be at any hour, best maybe 7 PM GMT, or 3 PM GMT...

[Gil-Galad]

If only it was 2021...

count me in!

[EDIT: okay.. i am going to be Zombie-Gil-Galad because in this remake i come back from the dead!!!

[Rikae]

If only it was 2021...

count me in!

[EDIT: okay.. i am going to be Zombie-Gil-Galad because in this remake i come back from the dead!!!
But...that's not in the book! :eek:

[Gil-Galad]

But...that's not in the book! :eek:

and the first film was? :D

its a remake of a movie, there has to be artistic license, Haldir didn't die in the book but he did in the movie, maybe Gil-Galad can come back to life in this movie

[Rikae]

*points to initial post*

*points up* How come these people even exist? I mean, I have hardly time to clean my teeth. Of course, this does not prevent me from playing Werewolf when I should be doing something else... :smokin: :rolleyes: :o

Concerning the deadline, personally I'll welcome something around 8-9 PM GMT, but generally, I'm open to almost everything. What I would like to avoid at all costs is the time like it was in Volo's last game, which was totally terrible, as I could almost never catch the deadline (even if I were alive) and mostly I could only participate at the beginning of the day and then at the very end, which was just... well, horror.

[Kath]

*points up* How come these people even exist? I mean, I have hardly time to clean my teeth. Of course, this does not prevent me from playing Werewolf when I should be doing something else.
Luck. My exams finish Friday but term not for another 2 weeks. But please, don't let werewolf stop you cleaning your teeth! :D

[The Sixth Wizard]

Ooh, so I can't be part of that simply genius scene? ;) Then if I must choose a new role it should be ... Protester against Dwarven Comic Relief? PDCR for short!

(One of my friends who was reading over my shoulder just called me a smart aleck :rolleyes: )

[Aganzir]

Count me in.

Can I be the dead serious Gimli?

[Nogrod]

This looks really promising.

But I'll be in Turkey for a week from May 16th to 23rd. There may be net-cafes there or there may not (We're in Antalya) and I'm also insecure about how much free time I will be having there. So I'm afraid I need to take my WW-break now.

Have fun!

[Rikae]

Aw, man! Oh well, that's how it goes, I guess. *disappointed*

[Volo]

I'll change to the actor of Gollum and Aganzir changes to the actor of Smeagol!

[Shastanis Althreduin]

*off topic*

I sick. :(

We had our senior trip yesterday, though.

*on topic*

Do you live in Europe or North America, Rikae? *is setting a clock with Werewolf time on his computer*

[Aganzir]

I'll change to the actor of Gollum and Aganzir changes to the actor of Smeagol!
I suppose no one wants to be Frodo now. What a pity.

[Rikae]

I'm on the East coast of the US, but I'll list the deadline time as GMT, to save everybody some confusion (I hope).

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I did not think that this would be up for another week. . .I hope I am not too late!

Anyways I did not see any deadline for signing up, so I hope there is room for little me.

[Rikae]

Good to see you decided to join! No, there's no deadline; go ahead and let me know what occupation you want!

[Diamond18]

Hmmmm... I may have time, considering the game starts on the 14th. Put me down as a Maybe, please.

I shall be the lady in charge of Wigs and all other False Hairpieces.

[Rikae]

All right! :D

[Thinlómien]

I suppose no one wants to be Frodo now. What a pity.I bet you two were plotting to put me to that role... :rolleyes: :p

[Volo]

I bet you two were plotting to put me to that role... :rolleyes: :p
Drat... ;)

Rikae... Please update my role, I'm a bit paranoid here...

[Mithalwen]

Lobelia?!!!!! I don't do hobbits gah ..and I'm far too tall ... can I be Ioreth instead if I am going to be an old bag.... :p

[Rikae]

Sorry, Volo, I missed your post. Es tut mir leid!*

OK, everybody make sure you have your final occupatinos, so I can get to work on ideas for narrations *cough*Rune*cough*!

Regarding the deadline: how does 7pm GMT grab everybody?

*Yeah, she's practicing her German on the admin thread.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

OK, everybody make sure you have your final occupatinos, so I can get to work on ideas for narrations *cough*Rune*cough*!
So give him Frodo if he doesn't show up, so that Volo&Agnazir have some fun...


Regarding the deadline: how does 7pm GMT grab everybody?


7PM GMT... *imagines the clock* Yeah, that could be a very good time.

[Rikae]

I've updated the initial post with some rules and such.

I'd ideally like to have two more players before we start...c'mon, people!!! See what Rikae mods? It is young, it is tender, it is nice! Sign up! Sign up! :D

[Volo]

Sorry, VoloRegarding the deadline: how does 7pm GMT grab everybody?

*Yeah, she's practicing her German on the admin thread.
Yup. and Haha!

In the event of a tie, there will be a double lynch. In a three - or more - way tie, I will use a randomizer to choose one lynchee.

Hmm... New rule. See to this everybody, that we don't waste too much time chatting about this during the game. :p


EDIT: Thanks for making Rune into Frodo. But we also want Sam!!

[Anguirel]

Mith, please be Galadriel. She was a lot older than you are and indeed is documented as having greying blonde hair, to such an extent that half of it seemed to be silver...

Besides, you know you want to...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I suppose that it is an alright deadline, but you should know that I have taken a lot of extra shifts and that means that most days I will have to leave a few hours before deadline.


and I must agree with Ang. if Mith is being an old woman, she might as well be a Galadriel.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

7PM GMT..... I can't figure out what time that is in Central. I'm a dunce. :(

[Mithalwen]

Mith, please be Galadriel. She was a lot older than you are and indeed is documented as having greying blonde hair, to such an extent that half of it seemed to be silver...

Besides, you know you want to...


I keep putting off doing my roots incase I get the Galadriel effect ;) ..how can I resist :D ..and while I would be old in 2020 to play an ingenue role(think Peggy Ashcroft playing Juliet), I would be too young for the hags..honest ...

And after last night at Drury Lane ..I am inspired....

[Rikae]

7PM GMT..... I can't figure out what time that is in Central. I'm a dunce. :(
Here it is...WW XXXIII deadline time, around the world!

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=5&day=10&year=2007&hour=19&min=0&sec=0&p1=136

I guess England's on summer time now, so actually it's not 7pm GMT...it's 7 pm BST. Which is:

1 pm Central.
2 pm on the East coast.
8 pm in Germany.
9 pm in Finland.
and 4 am in Australia (sorry, Sixth...)

Will that work for everybody?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

It's really, really very nice, says Germany... this means I will be probably always already at home at the DL and also still well awake to take care what's going on...

Question: When exactly are we starting, and with which phase (I suppose Night?), and also, are we waiting for another players, or is this number final?

[Rikae]

It's really, really very nice, says Germany...I see. I may be accused of favoritism...:p

Question: When exactly are we starting, and with which phase (I suppose Night?), and also, are we waiting for another players, or is this number final?Ah...yes. We wil start DAY one at 7pm BST on Monday.
I will accept new players until ...let's see...7pm BST on Sunday, but if this is all we get, I'll still go ahead with the game as scheduled.

[Volo]

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

It's actually 10 PM for Finland if it's 7 PM GMT...

[Rikae]

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

It's actually 10 PM for Finland if it's 7 PM GMT...
But it is actually 7 BST...summer time, not GMT. So it's 9 in Finland...does that work OK?

[Volo]

Both are fine to me and, probably, the Finns. Just had some confusion as both GMT and BST arose there...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

1 pm... That's fine for me Monday through Friday. Don't expect me to be too active Saturday and Sunday, though, as that's Graduation.

[Kath]

Yay! BST time being worked off, means I might actually get the deadline right for once. :D And the time itself is fine for me.

[Boromir88]

I start a new job on Monday and it's got some pretty funky hours, my vote will have to be hours before the deadline.

[Thinlómien]

The deadline is fine with me. Unless I get the net access very soon, I'll still be voting about 3-5 hours before the deadline...

[The Sixth Wizard]

I hope this will not start till my Monday, because I'm off for the weekend...

[Thinlómien]

I hope this will not start till my Monday, because I'm off for the weekend...Don't worry if it does - I'll be missing the start too then... ;)

[Rikae]

Sixth...yep, your Monday...at 4 am...!

EDIT: This was my 666th post! I should have said something more diabolical...

[Rikae]

Hmm...it's not good to have Lommy and Boro missing the deadline, with the vote retractions and all...

perhaps I should move it earlier? Like 4? But that would put it at 10 am Central, and 1 am Australia, and not give the rest of the people in Europe a chance to get online after work...? What shall I do?

[Rikae]

Hmm... New rule. See to this everybody, that we don't waste too much time chatting about this during the game. :p

Further clarification has just been added.

[Thinlómien]

If you ask me, just ignore me and Boro. It's just two players. (And I'm so used to it... :rolleyes: ) If you move the deadline, there will probably be more. And if I have good luck *coughNogrodifyou'rereadingthis* I might even get the net access while this game is going on, and then the current deadline would definitely be no problem.

[Rikae]

All right...final, then...I think:

NIGHT 1 will begin at 7pm BST on Sunday the 13th, and DAY one begins at 7 pm BST on Monday the 14th.
Roles will be sent out and the game thread put up on Sunday at the beginning of Night 1, and if anyone else wants to join they need to do so before that.

[Thinlómien]

Alright-y. I can't promise to be around on Day2 as it's a holiday here (so I'm at home and the libraries are probably closed).

[Rikae]

Ooops...sorry Sixth...I just realised it starts at 4 am on Tuesday, for you, not Monday.

[Brinniel]

7pm...I believe that is 12pm MST, right?

Hmm...not exactly ideal for me, as Brinn actually likes to sleep in until noon most days. But I promise I will set my alarm clock and most certainly try to be here (after all, WW is much more important than sleep!). The advantage is, until I get a second job, the deadline shouldn't interfere with work...

[Boromir88]

Ya I'm fine with the time deadlines as well. You can move it up 2 hours and it will still be early, and for me to be around for the end you would have to move the time back a good 4 hours. Where, it is now, is fine, plus I get Friday-Sundays off...so a nice big weekend. Its just Mon-Thurs where I have long strange hours.

[Rikae]

I'm getting the game thread up and your roles out slightly early because I need to go to the store & figured it was better to post it early rather than late.

The deadline time will still be 7pm BST.

[Rikae]

OK, I think everyone has their role now. If I didn't send you one, PM me.

Everybody turn yourself invisible.

[Rikae]

By the way...

Is there any way I can change the thread title? I forgot to put "Admin thread" in it.

[The Saucepan Man]

Is there any way I can change the thread title? I forgot to put "Admin thread" in it.Yes, you should be able to if you edit the first post and change its title.

[Rikae]

But I did that...and it just changed the post title, not the thread title.

[Nogrod]

It's just looking too much like fun! I hate to be forced not to play because of my travels... :(

Enjoy the game everyone!

I'll be following the turns of the game though, as far as it's possible there.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Get a grip Nogrod. . .there will be plenty of other games for you to play, now enjoy your travels or I shall send Orlando Bloom after you! ;)

[Mithalwen]

It's just looking too much like fun! I hate to be forced not to play because of my travels... :(

Enjoy the game everyone!

I'll be following the turns of the game though, as far as it's possible there.


Where's your commitment man? There will be cybercafes everywhere and you don't want to waste your time lying on a beach do you? ;)

[Nogrod]

now enjoy your travels or I shall send Orlando Bloom after you! ;)No need to threaten me that harshly my friend! :D

And sorry if you got the wrong feeling from my post. I'm indeed planning to enjoy the philosophy Olympiads where I'm going to partake as a coach for the Finnish team (and one of the many judges who evaluate the essays written there). I'm looking forwards to a pretty interesting week beside the Mediterranian sea... :D

(You know, in Finland it's a little over 10 degrees celsius and the spring is just waiting to actually come forwards while there it will be +30 with the turqoise sea all around...)

[Mithalwen]

The sea sounds more appealing than the Solent ... but why spoil it with thinking?

As the Critical perspectives(nearest I ever got to Philosophy) tutor said to my class "Why are we here in this classroom? Why aren't we on the beach with a bottle of wine?"

:p

[Nogrod]

you don't want to waste your time lying on a beach do you? No I do not. I'm the last person you could drag to lie idly on a hot beach just for the presumed fun of it... as there is no fun in that to my view. That's no bussiness for humans... :)

But maby a cozy little tavern in the shadows of a palm- or olivetree, some smooth wine and a nice palate of fresh Mediterranian meze around shared with interesting new acquaintances... :cool:

EDIT: As the Critical perspectives tutor (nearest I ever got to Philosophy) tutor said to my class "Why are we here in this classroom? Why aren't we on the beach with a bottle of wine?"I seem to have answered your question already! :D

[Mithalwen]

Only problem was he did insist on continuing the class even though we were all quite happy to relocate via the nearest off licence... the beach was only minutes away :(

Clearly it will be hard work for you ...life is harsh sometimes... ;)

[The Sixth Wizard]

and 4 am in Australia (sorry, Sixth...)


'Tis perfectly okay, I am used to the deadline being in the middle of the night by now. Just no-one expect a huge number of posts from me on the thread.

SOON THE GAME STARTS... (rocks back and forth)

[Brinniel]

Hehe...if I were you Sixth, I'd just stay up for the deadline. That's the kind of person I am...a late nighter. In fact, 4am would be a great deadline for me. :p

But then again, you're currently in school, aren't you, so I guess that probably wouldn't work out so well...

[Gil-Galad]

just had an idea for roles... probably too late now

it could switch like

Boromir88 - Gil-Galad
Gil-Galad - Boromir


just a fun twist...

[Rikae]

Sorry, Gil, that train has sailed. :D

[Volo]

Just noting that I'll be away most of Day1. Sleep, school, confirmation courses. ( :rooleyes::( ) Might have an hour but don't expect too much spammage from me.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I am just letting you know that I have gotten ill and that combined with the fact that I only got 4 hours of sleep due to a dentist appointment, means that I really need a nap now if I am to get through work tonight.

Normally I would call in sick, but I have some really important stuff to do the next two days, actually mostly tomorrow. . . .still I would prefer not call in sick, show up the next day and then maybe call in sick the next day, it would seem very weird.

The result is that I will now go take a nap and I don't know when I will be back, I shall make sure as a minimum to drop in before deadline and cast a vote.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I decidied to call in sick anyways. . .but I still need more napping!

I will return.

[Volo]

\o/ No confirmation courses today! So, I'll be here WWing for a few hours.

[Rikae]

I just wanted to add that I would really appreciate it if anybody who needs to send me a name during the night phase would do so at least an hour before the deadline. I don't want to be late getting the narration posted.

Thanks!

[Gil-Galad]

i apolagize for day one, i was really busy that day and i feel so bad not participating as much...

[Mithalwen]

and I was having so much fun.... I shall watch the rest of the game with much interest.

Mithalwen in Mandos.

I knew Lemonade was a bad idea

[Diamond18]

Just so you know, I'm having the Work Week From Hell this week (2 jobs equals 8 shifts in 5 days and little to no sleep!) I thought my schedule was going to be different (i.e. much lighter) when I signed up and then I got a couple extra shifts piled on me... le sigh. Anyway, for the time being I'm okay but I'm not even sure I'll be able to post this weekend. :(

[The Saucepan Man]

I shall not be around for the rest of this Day, as I shall be watching the cricket at Lords (don't you know) tomorrow. I am unlikely to make it back before the deadline, unless rain stops play (which is always a possibility, but not forecast).

Toodle pip.

[Rikae]

Weeellll.....

Of course I couldn't put Durelin in this death narration; I had to wait until the time was up to know what I was writing! (In the last hour, I prepared Rune-lynching, Legate-lynching, Legate & Boro double-lynching and Boro-lynching narrations!)

But surely she must die tonight.

Perhaps if she posts on the admin thread tonight I'll be flexible, though...:( ... I really don't like to eliminate a player...

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

(In the last hour, I prepared Rune-lynching, Legate-lynching, Legate & Boro double-lynching and Boro-lynching narrations!)
You surely must show them to us after the game ends - especially the double-lynching might be interesting. The other two can eventually still take place.

I only wanted to make known that I probably won't be around the next Day (well, probably - read it as "surely". It's highly improbable that I'd show up). You won't believe how disappointed I am with it, but duty calls. Hmm... is it possible to send posts to the Downs via SMS? ;)

[Volo]

Sure is!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Sure is!
Well, currently I'd give anything for the possibility of posting toMorrow... it would of course also need the possibility of seeing the posts. What a shame, what a shame... oh, I don't know how I'm going to spend the Saturday, but I'll surely have mind on WW instead of what I should... ***ADDICT***

[xyzzy]

Sorry about lack of activity last couple of days. Preparing for company coming tomorrow.

[Rikae]

I am in the middle of some completely unavoidable nasty gobbledigook* at the moment and may be unable to post the narration beginning the day right at the deadline. If this occurs, please don't be angry with me and/or concerned for my safety.

If Durelin hasn't posted here yet by the deadline, you may assume she's dead. I trust the wolves will stop PMing at that time, and you may begin posting in the game thread. I'll get the narration up as soon as possible.

*Macalaure, don't worry, it's not anything new; I'm just dealing with the situation that came up yesterday evening.

[Volo]

And what about the wolf kill? Ask some dead player to notify it to us.

[Volo]

And other: I might post Legate's vote.

[Volo]

Xyzzy's dead, huh?

[Rikae]

I'm afraid it looks that way, Volo. But, to be fair, I'll give him the same chance I gave Durelin...if he posts on this thread before the day begins tomorrow, he will be forgiven. :D

[Brinniel]

Dang...what a bad luck I have. I just can't seem to get past Day 3. And I don't think I'll ever get out of this curse. :(

Oh well. Good luck wolves.

[Rikae]

It was far better than my wolf-debut! If Rune hadn't accused you, you could have flown under the radar all the way to victory...quite impressive!

This forgiving can't be eternal. Even though it might sound cruel, I think there has to be a stricter rule about not participating in the game. Ok, a day or two away for a reason is understandable, but not so that you have to retreat from several games in a row... Or if you post a post per Day saying nothing on topic. :rolleyes: :(

[Gil-Galad]

quick question, does seer = medium

because i remember coming up with a role called the medium a while back, so just wondering...

[Rikae]

Ooops...I didn't know there was already a "canonical" medium. It's a role I made up for this game - as far as how it works...I will keep my own council for now. :D

[Volo]

Yup, Gil's role, never used (?).

[Durelin]

I'M SO SORRY.

I really did not think things through when I joined this game. >_<

I AM SOO SOOOO SORRY!!!!!!

[Rikae]

I had just started to worry about you!

Sorry you missed the game...:(

[Gil-Galad]

Yup, Gil's role, never used (?).


yep its never been used as far as i know, simply the medium is just the opposite of the weaver, where the weaver views connections between two living villagers, the medium takes a dead one and a living one an determines a connection

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well, I knew it since yesterEvening. Now I can finally turn myself visible. But why, why such a terrible fate? Rikae, that was way too cruel!

Anyway, good game. See you all in the afterthread. And Innocents, good luck!

[Rikae]

Weeeellll, you see, I decided at the beginning to kill as many people as possible in ways that reflect the worst of PJ's LOTR. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yes, I agree with your attitude and yes, now I see you were right to do that. The evil of PJ's "creation" (or mockery of creation) is now displayed on the cruel, inhuman, soulless and unmerciful death of Saruman the Martyr...

Just a reminder...

Day 6 has begun. You may now post on the game thread.
If you do not choose a lynchee by 7pm BST tomorrow, I will randomly select five.

I was wanting to put some pun on the game thread, though, of course, I cannot. Maybe all the world has fallen to the darkness? The whole place was abandoned, empty trailers, empty scene, empty rooms, empty parking places, the rest is silence... (here you have the basis for the narration you really had to randomly select five...)

[Kath]

Again you have my apologies but I just can't be around. We leave uni for home on Saturday so tomorrow is going to be spent packing everything I own, after which I am going out with my friends for a farewell meal and then I'm going to the end of year party which consists of sitting by the lake all night and watching the sun rise.

If in between all that I can squeeze an hour on here I will, but don't expect it.
