Admin thread for WW XXXIX: Do Werebalrogs have wings?

[Thinlómien]

"Experimenting with Elves and Balrogs, Melkor has discovered a new, terrible race: werebalrogs."

Welcome to Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXXIX: Do Werebalrogs have wings?. A part of the Gondolin mining community is suffering from an uncomfortable balrog problem. Melkor has sent his minions to the mines of Gondolin, hoping them to infiltrate into the miner society and gain some information on the city's defences. In secret, a few celebrities from the city come to the mines in order to investigate the problem. The balrogs decide to change their tactics. The slaughter begins.

Roles
3 werebalrogs
cobbler
seer
ranger
hunter
lovers
some ordinary villagers

I'd like to have at least 15 players. If the player count rises high, we can add an extra balrog.

Miscellanous rules
- non-retractable votes (this can be discussed, though)
- no double (or triple or quadrupule or whatever... :p) lynches. The first one to reach the highest vote count will be lynched.
- the deadline can be anything between 3-8 pm GMT. The ideal deadline for me would be 7pm GMT, but I'd like to hear your opinions on the subject.

Players
Legate of Amon Lanc
Shastanis Althreduin
Gil-Galad
Volo
Brinniel
The Might
Kath
Naria
Macalaure
satansaloser2005
Nerwen
Rikae
Mithalwen
Nogrod
Lhunaradwen


Sign-ups, verifications of sign-ups, discussion concerning the deadline and questions of all kind are most welcome now.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Looks like a good "classic" indeed. The only thing that one can hope for is that we gather enough players. Concerning the deadline, 7 pm GMT would be a great time for me.

[Brinniel]

You can take that question mark off my name. I definitely want to be in this game. :)

I really do hope we can get 15+ players. It's been ages since we've had a large game and I miss them...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Confirmatory.

I don't think I'll roleplay much this time; it gets me in trouble. :p

[Nogrod]

We'll need to get into the bottom of this question of (were)Balrog's having wings indeed! I'm in for finding it out. And I have been waiting for this Lommy's game for a long while.

But... and sadly this is a big BUT...

I'm going to be in Santiago de Cuba (right next to Guantanamo province) during 17.11.-25.11. where the choir I'm in will attend an international choir festival. I've been told that there are net cafés in Santiago and that the hotel might have one as well. But that's unsure and it's also unsure how much time I would have to play if the game is on during the time mentioned above.

So if we aim for a large game and there's not a tremendous hype bringing in players five per day I could be in. Also there's the Thanksgiving -holidays in the States and the possible need for a pause there. That might help my participation as well.

So the questionmark should be left there for a while.

[Brinniel]

So if we aim for a large game and there's not a tremendous hype bringing in players five per day I could be in. Also there's the Thanksgiving -holidays in the States and the possible need for a pause there.

Yeah, Thanksgiving would need a pause...at least if there are enough Americans in this game. I'm going home for the holidays from the 21-25. If we didn't pause then, I could still play as I will have internet access, but I would be absent for most of the 21, 22, and 25.

Anyways, I do hope you'll be able to find a way to join us, Nogrod.

the deadline can be anything between 3-8 pm GMT. The ideal deadline for me would be 7pm GMT, but I'd like to hear your opinions on the subject.
Well, let's see...that would be between 10am-3pm EST. Since the deadline will be during the daytime for me, it'll be hard to be there everday when the Day ends with the class schedule I have. A 4pm, or even 5pm GMT deadline would be most ideal for my schedule since it is for the most part, before all my classes. I can work with other times, but I might have to leave an hour or two early before deadline on some days.

A question: Will we be choosing roles to play for this game, or do we just go in as ourselves?

[The Might]

Ok, I've had enough of watching this strange game take all away from the good old trivia matches, so I've decided to join and see for myself what this WW thing is about.

Now, I really am a n00b at this, so it would really be nice if someone could explain the rules of the game in general, or post a link to information.

Not sure what this deadline thing is, maybe the time by which you have to have posted. If this is case, then 7pm GMT is also great for me.

EDIT: btw, what's a cobbler?

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Don't worry, Brinn. I'm also an American, so you're not alone. :p

And I think I can bring Isabell back, bringing the grand total to three!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

*points up* Hooray, Miggy is playing!

...you will die by a terrible painful death :D

EDIT: btw, what's a cobbler?

I suggest you look at some older thread where the rules are explained more in detail... maybe at the beginning of the normal WW thread - the one called just "Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of the Werewolves)". Not everything is there, though.

The cobbler is a person who is in every aspect a normal villager, except that he wants the baddies to win, even if it were to cost his life. He does not know who the baddies are, though, so he has to try to find out who they are and help them the best he can (either by providing cover, or just wreaking havoc all around the place, or at least by getting himself lynched instead of one of them).

[Kath]

OK, I'm giving in and signing up. Who needs a good degree anyway? :rolleyes:

[Naria]

:DAs promised, I will join in your game Lommy! Oh, and I'll vote for 3pm.

[Lhunardawen]

OK, I'm giving in and signing up. Who needs a good degree anyway? :rolleyes:

We do, Kath dear! Don't give in!

Oh fine, I might as well make it a start-of-term tradition. Please put me down with a question mark. I hate you, Lommy. :p

Wait - cobbler AND lovers? Ooof, tough game.

[Thinlómien]

Welcome, TM, Kath, Naria and Lhuna! Great to see you here. :D

Looks very promising this far!

I have some hopes of actually gathering enough players for a bit bigger game. Yay! (But don't worry, even if there was enough people willing to play, this will not become a megalomanic Dueling Wizards -type of game, I don't want more than 20 or 21 players, 15-18 would be ideal... We'll see.)

TM - I'm going to explain all the rules in post but I'm not sure when I will write it (I might do it just before the start of the game) so if you want to be clear on these things before that, I suggest you check the Tol-in-Gaurhoth -thread (just like Legate said).

Lhuna - I know. If I hadn't already decided to give out the roles randomly, I'd make you a lover just for fun. :p

So if we aim for a large game and there's not a tremendous hype bringing in players five per day I could be in. Also there's the Thanksgiving -holidays in the States and the possible need for a pause there. That might help my participation as well.We'll see how this goes. I hope you get to play - I could assign you some very nasty role! A pity I decided to give them out randomly... ;)

[Macalaure]

This looks very promising, indeed.

May I join, too? :)

[Lhunardawen]

Yes, not a very large population, please! I think merely joining will drive me crazy enough. Too bad you didn't decide to do this before my term starts, Lommy.

Lhuna - I know. If I hadn't already decided to give out the roles randomly, I'd make you a lover just for fun. :p
You know you want to... ;) And with Kath joining? *evil laughter*

Maybe I should stop this, or Kath might push to have me lynched on Day 1, just to be sure. :D

[Kath]

I know, Lhuna. I can't believe I joined another Lover's game after my track record in them, and now you're in it I know I'm going to lose whatever team I'm on!

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

A pity I decided to give them out randomly... ;)

Comment:Liar.:p

[Gil-Galad]

bah why didn't i have this many people in my game!

[Kath]

Sorry Gil, I would have joined yours but I didn't have the time when yours was on. All my lectures bar two finish this week so I have much more free time as of Wednesday!

[Thinlómien]

May I join, too?
Maybe you may, as I seem to have forgotten to add the anti-Macalaure rule banning all people named Macalaure from joining the game... :p Of course you can! I'm glad to have you in the game. :)

Comment:Liar.
I confess - I have given myself a veto-right if the teams start to look too unfair. :Merisu:

A question: Will we be choosing roles to play for this game, or do we just go in as ourselves?I have not decided yet, probably not. I will inform you as soon as I know.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I confess - I have given myself a veto-right if the teams start to look too unfair. :Merisu:
Of course. Everyone does that. Sometimes even when the teams do not look unfair, but because he thinks that there could be some more interesting teams generated "randomly" if the random choice is made enough times... ;)

One question - are the lovers going to be a wolf and an ordo, or is there something more sinister to come, like a cobbler lover together with a hunter, or am I supposed not to ask this question at all?

[Thinlómien]

One question - are the lovers going to be a wolf and an ordo, or is there something more sinister to come, like a cobbler lover together with a hunter, or am I supposed not to ask this question at all?Well, you can ask but I'm not going to answer... ;)

Yes, I'm going to remain mysterious about the lovers... you'll see sooner or later. :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well, you can ask but I'm not going to answer... ;)

Yes, I'm going to remain mysterious about the lovers... you'll see sooner or later. :D

Why am I not surprised...:rolleyes:

*walks away, thinking of a village full of lovers*

[Volo]

Why am I not surprised...:rolleyes:

*walks away, thinking of a village full of lovers*

Pity I repped you a minute ago... :D

[The Might]

I can't find the thread you're talking about.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I can't find the thread you're talking about.

It's on the first page here in the Mirth, currently among the topmost four. On the first post (and the first pages), there is some information about the game in general.

[satansaloser2005]

I'm in!



How long do games normally last on here though? I, too, have a break for Thanksgiving and may be cut off from Internet for several days. Then again, I'm new so I might not last long anyway. But I'll do my best! :)

[Kath]

Lommy, with this rate of sign up the game could start pretty soon. For all these unhelpful Americans could we maybe have a few days break if the game isn't finished by then?

[satansaloser2005]

"Experimenting with Elves and Balrogs, Melkor has discovered a new, terrible race: werebalrogs."



Roles

seer
ranger
hunter
lovers
some ordinary villagers


Sign-ups, verifications of sign-ups, discussion concerning the deadline and questions of all kind are most welcome now.



I've played regular mafia before, but can someone explain to me what the extra roles are? The cobbler is basically a citizen/villager who is a terrorist acting on the side of the werewolves, but what are ranger, hunter, and lover? I had them explained to me briefly but I want to make sure I understand properly. Thanks!



--an unhelpful american--

[Rikae]

I'd love to play, but depending on when you start, I may be too busy. Can you put me on the list with a question mark?

[Lhunardawen]

I know the possibility of you heeding me is right about nil, Lommy, but I'm going to advise you anyway against teaming up a wolf and an ordo as Lovers and letting us know. If we're going to have only three wolves, you might as well kill the werewolf-lover on Night 1. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. :D

~a pseudohelpful non-American

P.S. When's Thanksgiving, by the way?

[Rikae]

...by the way, I'm a helpful American who thinks that Thanksgiving (otherwise known as November 22 this year) is a great day for werewolf. :D

[Brinniel]

A ranger chooses a player to protect each Night. If the wolves (or balrogs in this case) attack that player, he/she will not be killed. It depends on the mod's rules, but usually a ranger cannot protect someone two nights in a row.

A hunter must every Night choose someone they find suspicious and want to hunt. In the case that the hunter is killed, he/she has the opportunity of taking down a wolf. Again, this role varies each game, so certain details will depend on the mod.

The lovers are two players who are bound to one another. If one dies, so does the other. The lovers can be both good, or both bad, or one of each. There's no doubt saying lovers can really complicate things (especially in a situation in where you don't even know who your lover is, lol...).

Ok, I've had enough of watching this strange game take all away from the good old trivia matches, so I've decided to join and see for myself what this WW thing is about.
Welcome to WW! :)

It's been awhile since we've had any newbies, so it's nice to see some new faces. Anyways, don't worry if you go into this game confused and clueless to what's going on. That's how I started out with Mac's game. You'll pick it up and understand the game better as you play. I recall, I couldn't even figure out what the cobbler was until after my first game was complete. :rolleyes:

Oh, here's a link to the thread (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=11911) that everyone's been referring to.

~an unhelpful American who's suddenly craving pumpkin pie with all this Thanksgiving talk~

[Thinlómien]

Welcome, Rikae and Sally! :)

How long do games normally last on here though?It depends... One day or night phase lasts 24h so it varies quite a lot from just a few days from about two weeks or something like that. I think an average game takes a week or a bit more, but that's just a guess, not a fact.

Lommy, with this rate of sign up the game could start pretty soon. For all these unhelpful Americans could we maybe have a few days break if the game isn't finished by then?Yes, we might. Could all unhelpful Americans :p specify on which days they are unable to participate?

Currently, we have 14 players, including the unsure players. I'd like to have a few more, but with this rate of signing up that does not seem to be a problem. :D (Besides, I can always PM some people...)

[The Might]

Firstly Kath, thanks a lot for the PM, that cleared things for me.

But what if say a seer was a lover and the other lover was a wolf, would he try to expose the other wolves and say a normal villager is a wolf to save the lover, or wuld rather do what he's supposed to?

Plus, how can you make sure that nobody else except wolves uses PM? :eek:

[Nogrod]

Plus, how can you make sure that nobody else except wolves uses PM? :eek:In no way.

That's an issue of trust and sportsmanship. And who would want to play cheating? What's the fun of it?

[satansaloser2005]

Oh okay. So basically ranger=doctor, hunter=bounty hunter, and lover=....well I haven't seen that one before but I get it now. Thanks Brinn!

[Thinlómien]

But what if say a seer was a lover and the other lover was a wolf, would he try to expose the other wolves and say a normal villager is a wolf to save the lover, or wuld rather do what he's supposed to?
Well, that would be up to him to decide... although I'd wonder what the mod was thinking in the first place when s/he paired them up together... ;)
It all depends on what winning conditions the mod has given to the different roles (for example, are the lovers a separate team or are they on the village's or on the wolves' side or if there's some mixture of these).

[Kath]

The Might - the combination of lover wolf and lover Seer is, well it's unlikely, but if it happened we'd just play along none the wiser until, most likely, everyone else dies and they win! You don't always know all the rules and possibilities in this game, that's part of the fun!

As for PMing, well no you can't be sure that no one else is doing it, but there is a rule that no ordinary villager PMs another with anything game/role related while the game is running. Just as you'd follow the rule that says no one can post on the thread during the Night phase, so you follow that rule.

[The Might]

Another thing, what about these phases?
Does the night start after the deadline and lasts 12 hours?

[Kath]

No, each Day and each Night last 24 hours.

So, say we started at 9pm on the 10th then that Day would end at 9pm on the 11th. Night would then begin when the Day ends, so at 9pm on the 11th and it would end at 9pm on the 12th.

Does that make sense?

[satansaloser2005]

I'm all excited to play now. Any idea when we'll get started?

[Thinlómien]

I'm all excited to play now. Any idea when we'll get started?
We'll get started as soon as we have a few more players, I have all the info I need (Thnaksgiving-things and verifications from the unsures) and I have finished my plannings. Depends, but I guess this might start early next week.

[Nogrod]

I'd like to hear the viewpoints from other players on the issue of me playing this game.

I'm leaving to Cuba early on Saturday morning (GMT) 17.11. and will probably have the first possibility to be online on Sunday afternoon / evening American timezones (we're in Havana late Saturday evening and will leave to Santiago early in the Sunday morning local time...). Also I'm not sure how easy it is to get net access in Santiago de Cuba. I've been told there are net cafés but if they are not easy to find I may have no time to search for them extensively.

So after the few first Days (if I'm alive still, that is) my participation would be somewhat unpredictable - depending on the local circumstances I'd be playing something from a bit less than normal to one post aDay or in the worst instance not being able to post. If I'm in the game I would sure do my best to help whatever cause I'm picked to support.

What say you? Is it ok. for you that I play or should I step aside?

PS. If the starting Day gets postponed for a reason or another I might be unpredictably online in the first Days but with full steam after Nov. 25th.

[Volo]

I'm sure you would manage to participate in the game well enough, Nogrod. :) But of course, it's up to you!

[Nerwen]

Hi. Is it too late to sign up?

[Thinlómien]

Hi. Is it too late to sign up?No, it isn't. Welcome! :)

edit: 3000th post! Wow! :D

[Nerwen]

Yay!

When do we start?

[Thinlómien]

Yay!

When do we start?Probably early next week. I'd like to hear confirmations from the questionmark-players and get replies from three people I've invited, but I guess we're able to start soon.

[Gil-Galad]

so just a basic game...cool!

4,781st post yay!

[Volo]

I'll try to participate a bit less this time because of many RL chores.

[Rikae]

You can take off my question-mark, but I think I better say right off the bat that I may not be very vocal in this game. I'm in the middle of quite a bit of schoolwork and legal gobbldigook, and also in the process of applying to grad school; but I'll do my best to post at least twice each day.

[Lhunardawen]

You can remove my question mark, too, but I'll have to echo the others that I'll be less vocal in this game than normal. It looks like I already have a lot of schoolwork in store even though the term has just begun.

Yes, of course, we trust you all that you won't be as vocal, resisting the temptation to sit by the computer, absolutely hooked in the game...:p

[Volo]

Yes, of course, we trust you all that you won't be as vocal, resisting the temptation to sit by the computer, absolutely hooked in the game...:p

Hey! Watch out or I'll not participate in the game at all. :rolleyes:

[Lhunardawen]

Yes, of course, we trust you all that you won't be as vocal, resisting the temptation to sit by the computer, absolutely hooked in the game...:p
Well, if you'll offer to do my Physics and Genetics problem sets for me... :p

[Mithalwen]

I really shouldn't paly this as I have so much going on but shall I try some blackmail and say I'll play if the King of all the Nogs plays aswell :p ?

[Thinlómien]

I really shouldn't paly this as I have so much going on but shall I try some blackmail and say I'll play if the King of all the Nogs plays aswell ?Done. He said he'll play. We have now 15 players which is enough to start. :D

Night 1 begins at 7pm GMT tomorrow.

Anyone who still wishes to join may post in this thread and sign up. The sign up will be closed at 11am GMT tomorrow or something like that.

The roles will be given out before Night1 starts (surprise surprise! :rolleyes: ), but I can't specify when exactly. It might be as late as less than hour before the start of the night.

I will try to get the actual game thread up quite soon. I promise it will be created before that 11am GMT.

Aganzir will be the mod-in-case-of-emergency. She will be there if I'm somehow unable to come to stop the day or something like that. She has also helped me with planning and we will co-write some narrations. You can trust her word about things in this game (unless I have said something that disagrees with what she has said).

[Thinlómien]

And you can still comment on possible Thanksgiving-holidays and if you want retractable votes (like 1 retraction/day or /game or something like that) you can post here and reason why you think so.

EDIT: One more thing. You don't need to have any in-game roles. You're all Elf miners (or at least pretending to be ones). :p

[Thinlómien]

Sign ups are closed now. We will start today at 7pm GMT.

The roles will most probably be given out less than hour before the start of the first Night.

Soon a spectacle begins... :D

[The Might]

What's up with invisible mode?
Does that mean you can't see who PMs to others?

[Kath]

Yup, you can't see who is PMing who and you also can't see when people are online. That way you can't use the fact that someone was online more during a Night phase than a Day phase against them.

[The Might]

Well, just a bit more then an hour left. :D
Hmmm...maybe I should change my forum time to GMT

[Thinlómien]

Hmmm...maybe I should change my forum time to GMTYou don't need to - just remember the deadline is 8pm your time :), (unless I'm greatly mistaken).

The roles are coming as soon as I've written the role descriptions.

[Thinlómien]

The start of the first Night will be about 15 minutes late because I have to send all the roles before that. Sorry. Thus Night1 will last 23 hours 45 mins.

[The Might]

I decided to find out how this game began, so I found the original Werewolf post made by the BW. It said that it is played elsewhere as well, so logically I googled it. And found THIS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28game).

The page has some quite interestinf information about the origins and development of the game.

[Thinlómien]

Ok, I should have sent all the roles now. If you have not received a role (which is possible because I seem to be a very unorganized person), just PM me and I'll PM you your role. You may also PM me if you have some questions about your role.

[Thinlómien]

1) All unknown persons in the texts are referred to as he. So don't make any conclusions of it. :)
2) Like I said, anything in the narrations doesn't point at any player's role. We wrote this discussion by first writing the comments and tones of voices and then just added (by rolling a dice) random names to the blank spaces. So don't write a serious case based on something someone said in a narration. ;)
3) I seem to be taking after my RL self and being always late... :rolleyes: Sorry.

[Thinlómien]

p.s. what are the odds I could be listed in the village numbers as sally? just because my full username is so long. i may change it, but i'm not really sure if i can yet or not. i'm going to go investigate that I thought I would use the long official names of everybody in the tallies and in the first narration in order to avoid confusion. But if you wish (or if you insist), I can add you as Sally in the next list of who are alive and who are dead. In any case I'm going to use the name Sally in the narrations to come - too much work typing satansaloser2005 all the time... ;)

[Gil-Galad]

Sorry if i don't make the voting deadline some time as i find myself rather busy lately and farther and farther away from the computer too...

[Thinlómien]

Sorry for making you wait for so long. Next time I'll tell you the identity of the lynchee before writing the narration. Less painsome for you, less hasty for me. :)

[satansaloser2005]

Oh yeah I forgot I could post in this thread.


"Maybe sally... I don't know, maybe it's his style, the second paragraph of his post does not fit the whole frame of his post, or so it seems to me... ."




I'm a woman by the way, just for those of you who might wonder. :)

[The Might]

Well, I'm not sure if one can analyse stuff in the game during the Night?!

[Nogrod]

Well, I'm not sure if one can analyse stuff in the game during the Night?!Right so. Let's keep our mouths and return to the game when Day2 starts... those of us alive that is.

So no comments on this thread about the game. Only on the actual gamethread when it's Daytime.

This thread is for actual notifications about possible absences etc. that do not straightly deal with the arguments or whatever said in the game.

[Mithalwen]

My father has gone on the blink again. I have skim read and hope to post and vote later but if you all prefer I will withdraw.

Regards

Mith

[Thinlómien]

Mith

Mith,

I think it's all up to you. You know I'd really love to see you play, but you're the one who knows if you have the resources (time, motivation, energy etc) to do so. So you should make your own decision and I don't think anyone prefers you withdrawing if you are still able to play to an extent and if you yourself wish to do so.

I wish the best to your father and you.

-Lommy

[Nogrod]

Sad to hear that Mith.

Have courage!

[Kath]

If you feel that you can play Mith then please do, but if you feel it will cause you too much stress we won't make you feel guilty. You do what's best for you. :)

[Nerwen]

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about your father, Mithalwen.

[Mithalwen]

Thanks..I hope he will be ok .. but at his age stuff is bound to happen from time to time.. I am hoping it is a blip and given the level of absenteeism I shall try to participate as much as I can. However I am sorry for what I regard as an unacceptable level of involvement. :(

[Thinlómien]

However I am sorry for what I regard as an unacceptable level of involvement. :( Please don't feel bad about it, Mith...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Crap!

Lommy, I am so, so sorry. I competely got my timezones mixed up and thought that the deadline was six hours off. :( I feel horrible.

[Thinlómien]

Ok, Shasta and Sally, I understand your situations and you both will have mercy, but you'd better vote toMorrow because then I won't be lenient anymore. :)

[Thinlómien]

Narration's up... I can't understand how can it take me about 1,5 h to write something that sort and simple... don't ask... :D

[Nogrod]

One calls it quality... :cool:

(Okay, I have not read it yet... :D)

[Nogrod]

I finally got to read it. I'd say definitively: quality.

That was hilarious!

And I even got the German lyrics! :D
(well, a few parts were a bit unclear to me but anyway...)

[The Might]

Good job with the post Lommy!
I guess a spoof of the Ärzte called "Balrogs sind Schweine" would be better :D

[Aganzir]

But surely a Balrog wouldn't think they have anything in common with swines. :p

I'm so sorry I didn't vote. Time just ran away from me this evening and it wasn't til I got back from gym all of 10 minutes ago that I remembered I needed to.

[satansaloser2005]

Oh i loved it. Just got a chance to read it, and I laughed half of my face off. Need to go glue that back on now.

Oh and I'll definitely be able to vote tomorrow. It'll be early most likely, but I'll show my little face sometime before day's end.

*tiptoes around own shattered skull and scattered brain - whatever's left of it*

I'm sorry for committing suicide without so much as an early notice, but Lhuna the ordo was right: I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired. Or at least I really will be, to the point of actual suicide, if I didn't pull out.

My father has gone on the blink again. I have skim read and hope to post and vote later but if you all prefer I will withdraw.

Regards

Mith
Oh no, mum, not again... I do hope your father gets well soon. I'll keep both of you in my prayers.

[Mithalwen]

So far so good... basically my dad is eighty-one so stuff is going to happen but he had a funny turn on Tuesday and seemed fine then when I got back on Wed he seemed aphasic then a few minutes later he was ok but I was freaked. It might be just effects of medication combined with anno domini - or it could be TIAs. He is on the apropriate drugs but the procedure to clear the blood vessels surgically is deemed more likely to cause a stroke than leaving them be... so it is a case of being grateful for every uneventful day..

[The Might]

Sorry to hear that Mith, hope you dad's situation will improve.

Posting here t say that it is possible that I won't be able to post the following Day, since I'll be away from my computer and I'm not sure if I will have Internet access. Will however do my best to manage to post at least once.

[Gil-Galad]

posting to say that i probably won't be as attentive tomorrow, probably just skim an post my thoughts. i'm going out for my dads b-day dinner tomorrow and having some buddies come over for some Halo 3 action...

[Nogrod]

Here's my situation then.

I will leave very early tomorrow (RL), around 3-4AM GMT and need to vote before it.

I have been assured that the major hotels in Santiago de Cuba at least should have workable net-accesses with modest prices (no broadbands of course...).

But that means I might actually be able to come in and read the stuff + post myself once or twice a Day if alive.

I'll give you notice - if not otherwise then through Lommy - if things are not so easy as I now believe they are.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

All right, Nog. Hope to see you around even in the further days. Enjoy your stay out there.

Strange, I have almost the feeling as if parting with a friend who leaves on a long journey...

[Nogrod]

Strange, I have almost the feeling as if parting with a friend who leaves on a long journey...I must admit the same thought passed my mind. We're playing too much werewolf together Legate... :eek:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I must admit the same thought passed my mind. We're playing too much werewolf together Legate... :eek:

Indeed, looks like that :eek:

[Nerwen]

I'm going to have to vote early. Just letting you know.

[Thinlómien]

Because Day3 started late (it was Downs' fault, not mine :Merisu: ) it will also end later. So Day3 ends 7.10 pm GMT. Thus, Night4 will be 10 minutes shorter than the standard Nights and Day4 will begin 7.00 pm.

Also, I'd like to add that I've co-written all narrations this far with Aganzir. She has been helping me more or less with every single narration and I guess (I hope :D) this will continue in future as well.

[Mithalwen]

A splendid collaboration :D

Oh and since you have all been so kind to be concerned - my dad seems to be ok so it will I hope only be work and limited access that now affect my game :D

[Mithalwen]

Indeed, looks like that :eek:

I think it is the timezones ..... but just think with the help of a internet connection ..the North Americans are going to get a taste of the full werewolfing with Nogrod experience ;)

[Thinlómien]

I think it is the timezones ..... but just think with the help of a internet connection ..the North Americans are going to get a taste of the full werewolfing with Nogrod experience ;) Hahaha, you should know how much I laughed at that aspect when I realised Cuba is so close to the States. (Geography... :rolleyes: )

Oh and since you have all been so kind to be concerned - my dad seems to be ok Glad to hear that. :)

[Brinniel]

Okay, I have to run off to a film shoot, so I really don't have any time to read or post right now. It's going to take most of the day, but there will be a lunch break, so I should be able to return briefly before deadline. If you don't hear from me until then, that's why.

[Thinlómien]

Ouch.

Legate voted probably a few seconds before Mith so Sally dies. Now that must have been the closest lynch I've ever seen. :D

[Thinlómien]

Narration's up. My tired brain worked extra slowly this time (and extra sadistically, it seems...).

[Thinlómien]

My deepest apologies to everyone, but the Day might start late. Hope you can all bear with it. ;)

[Thinlómien]

Again, sorry for the delay, I had some difficulties along the way.

Because the Day started 20 minutes late, it will also end 20 minutes later, so 7.20 pm GMT.

I will take the extra 20 minutes from the next Night and hope that we'll finally be for a change on schedule after it... :)

[Gil-Galad]

that was probably one of my better games in awhile now... i discovered two wolfes from my hunches now that is luck...

[satansaloser2005]

Didn't catch that post; just saw it now. Explains a lot hehe. I feel pretty snazzy myself, calling out at least two of them, regardless of who the third is. Especially since this is my first game. But I admit my accidental erasing of my post....not good. So I kind of deserved it. Either way, I feel I did pretty well. :)

[Nerwen]

Narration's up. My tired brain worked extra slowly this time (and extra sadistically, it seems...).

Yes. That was gruesome! (Sally's death, I mean.)

[Thinlómien]

Shhhh... I'm the only corpse who is allowed to talk about in-game matters. ;)

If this game is still going on late this week, is there anyone who would absolutely need a Thanskgiving pause?

[Thinlómien]

Since the 'downs were down for such a long time, I will give you some extra time. The day will end at 8.00pm GMT. That probably means that I might not be able to write a proper narration in time, so you'd better not finish the game toDay... ;)

[Thinlómien]

Forgot to add, but that means that next Night will be only 23 hours.

[Nerwen]

I'm sorry I didn't show up to vote. The site was down during the only time I had.
