Admin Thread for Werewolf XLVI: Insert Clever Title Here

[Meneltarmacil]

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]

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. :smokin:

[Meneltarmacil]

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

[satansaloser2005]

*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]

Count me in!

[Gwathagor]

An opportunity to kill beastly werewolves. :mad::mad::mad: Of course I'm playing.

[satansaloser2005]

An opportunity to kill beastly werewolves. :mad::mad::mad: Of course I'm playing.


So what if you're a wolf again dearie?

[Nerwen]

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]

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

[satansaloser2005]

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! :p *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]

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]

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]

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]

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

[satansaloser2005]

*bump*

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

[Aganzir]

specializing in diagnosing and treating fetishes
*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]

OK, I'll send some invitations out tonight.

[satansaloser2005]

*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?

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

[Gwathagor]

Good.

[McCaber]

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

[Kath]

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

[satansaloser2005]

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

:(

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]

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]

What's your paper on, if I may ask?

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]

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

[Kath]

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]

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]

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]

*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]

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

[Aganzir]

Hmm, maybe more invitations would be of some help.

[The Elf-warrior]

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]

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

[Meneltarmacil]

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

[satansaloser2005]

*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]

Surely SOMEbody wants to join...surely.

[Thinlómien]

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]

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]

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]

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. :)

[satansaloser2005]

More people yay! Erm, hurry and join folks. If the game doesn't start by the 10th, I'm going to have to withdraw I think, and that would be tragic. *is not addicted at ALL* :rolleyes:

[Kath]

Woo sign ups! Oddwen it's great to see you back, Lommy I am quite willing to guilt you into playing. :D

[Meneltarmacil]

To be honest, I actually can't start the game until late May anyhow, so I doubt we'll be starting anytime soon.

I don't know, does anyone want to mod in between now and the 18th of May?

[Aganzir]

Maybe you should post about it in the TIG thread?

I don't know, though, about the Duelling Wizards... There would probably be no time to mod it so that your game wasn't seriously delayed, but two normal games before it might be quite a lot, given that many people may be away in the midsummer.

[satansaloser2005]

To be honest, I actually can't start the game until late May anyhow, so I doubt we'll be starting anytime soon.

I don't know, does anyone want to mod in between now and the 18th of May?


Sad day. Okay then, I officially submit my resignation. :(

Sorry, but week after next is final exams and after that I move out of my dorm room and have no internet, so playing past that point is virtually impossible. Hope you all enjoy the game though. :)

[Meneltarmacil]

If we start it soon, do you think this game would likely be finished by May 10th? I could run it until then.

What does everyone think?

[Gwathagor]

Does we got enough players?

[Meneltarmacil]

I don't think we have enough yet, but if maybe two or three more joined we probably would.

[Oddwen]

I know I modded you Volster, but that's it I believe...

Wow. I've only Played with four of you, and Menel...hi everyone else!

Now how is this an advantage for me...? :p

[satansaloser2005]

I'd be fine with starting ASAP, but it's really up to you, Menel.

[Aganzir]

We have 10 players now, and the first game here had 12 I think. So if we get two players quickly, I think the game would be over by 10th of May. And of course you Menel could take a co-mod to finish the game in case it doesn't end early enough.

Hi Oddwen! :p And hi also to Lhuna and Elf-warrior with whom I don't think I have played before. :)

[Meneltarmacil]

OK, we'll start as soon as we get 2 more players.

I'll choose one of our dead to be a co-mod if the game goes too long.

Don't forget to choose occupations!

[Nogrod]

OK, we'll start as soon as we get 2 more players.
And if needs be we can probably start even without two more players (even if would be more nice that way) as I think smaller games than 12 have been played. With ten I'd say two wolves and one gifted or something along those lines... or whatever Menel has in mind. :)

But the sooner the better.

[Oddwen]

May I request my character to be a maker of very fine Naughty Pine Furniture?

[Gwathagor]

What on earth...?

[satansaloser2005]

Oh....noes. This is going to be interesting....:rolleyes:

[Meneltarmacil]

OK, the game will start on May 1st even if we don't get enough players. I can't use 5:00 for the Day/Night cycle, so I'll use 3:00 U.S. Eastern time instead.

[Oddwen]

The pines are naughty, not the furniture. Just to make that clear. :p

It's from growing near a fresh water source.

[Gwathagor]

Gwathagor's occupation: Lawyer.

[Lhunardawen]

Haha, Oddwen, glad to be playing with you again. It's been ages. :D

I'll be a pine cone collector.

I'm sorry, but what's the time in GMT?

[Volo]

Me (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=545805&postcount=13) RB teh explorer guy in the painting carried around by a black gorilla. Yeh.

The game starting so soon will make other things pains in the neck, but what the nose, let's do it.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well well well... I guess it's been enough time for my WW break (more than a month! And even more from playing!), and if the game is going to go fast, I may as well join. Half a week ago I felt like I would like to play once again, but then I reconsidered due to other obligations I have... but now there's so many players I would like to play with in this game (like some I never played before - Oddwen? :eek: Can't miss that). So, sir Menel, sign me up!

As for occupation, how about a frog hermit (that's not that I'd be a frog, but a hermit who has something to do with frogs).

[Kath]

I shall be a turtle herder, as this will explain any slowness from me in the fist couple of Days when I will still be somewhat busy RL-wise.

What is 3pm EMT in GMT+1?

[Nogrod]

I'll be an ale-barrell salesman.

Menel's timezone It should be -5GMT so 3PM USeastern should be 8PM GMT.

I sent this at 3PM Finnish time which is GMT+3 ie. the time of this post is 12PM GMT sharp. So if you Menel check what the time of my post is in your computer and report whether it is 7AM your time or not? If it is all is fine. If not... then not. :p

[Meneltarmacil]

Actually, Nogrod's post was 8 AM my time, since I'm on Daylight Savings Time now.

So the Day/Night switch happens at 7 PM GMT.

[Kath]

7 pm is good for me. :) Though it will mean I can't post for at least the first 16 hours or so of the game, just so you know.

[satansaloser2005]

Meh. Yeah I'll be voting way before deadline part of the time, but I can deal with that. Besides....I can always post in class ;)

[Thinlómien]

Aieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............ last minute change of opinion.

Count me in. :D

I'll be a mad hatter. ;)

(PS. If this game continues the week after next week and I'm still alive, my participation may reduce significantly, but we'll see...)

[Gwathagor]

Ok. We'll be sure to kill you first.

[Lhunardawen]

Ugh, 3 AM phase shifts. Ah well, I'll live.

[Meneltarmacil]

OK, Night One begins tomorrow at 7pm GMT.

[Nerwen]

Wait, I need a job!

I'll be the veterinarian. (I'm currently taking care of a sick moggie...)

[Meneltarmacil]

Roles have been sent out. If you haven't received a PM, you're an Ordinary Villager.

Also, Mithalwen has decided to join the game, which brings our number up to 13.

If you haven't yet chosen an occupation by the time the game starts, I'll choose one for you.

[Mithalwen]

I think I had better be a lumberjack .. not a great one, not a bad one .... just an okay one..... ;)

[Volo]

I'll be away for the weekend, so I won't be able to post anything except "Hello, I exist- Bungo! Don't eat that!" on Day1.

[satansaloser2005]

I have to take our youth group to a retreat tonight/tomorrow. I may post before I leave, but that'll be in like three hours, and after that I won't be on. Good luck on the first day everyone!

[Aganzir]

Do we have retractable votes? Multiple lynches?

edit: and what about modfire?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Do we have retractable votes? Multiple lynches?

edit: and what about modfire?

Seconded. Not wanting to be picky, Menel, but the Mod should see to have the really basic rules covered and explained properly... although it's partially our fault because we had a whole month to ask you. And maybe if you changed the time of DL as written in the first post of this thread to the real time of the DL, it will be also better, as now I was confused myself when I looked at it: "What? It's still two more hours till DL?" And it will be surely easier for the players to see it in the first post than to search for it through the thread...

And, what I mainly wanted to say: apologies for not voting today. My connection decided to have a malfunction right five minutes before the DL, and I couldn't get it up immediately.

[Meneltarmacil]

OK, it's all my fault. I'm sorry.

I didn't explain rules clearly, and I lost track of time today.

Votes aren't retractable, and there are no multiple lynchings. In the event of a tie, the victime will be determined randomly.

[Mithalwen]

Don't worry Menel ...... I still hold by the theory of the divine right of moderators :D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Quite :D But good, Menel, at least now we know and we can feel a little safer. If you were to change it, that will be another thing, but knowing it in the first place is good. Thanks :)

[Meneltarmacil]

I may wind up starting the day a little early this time around due to something I'll be attending later this afternoon, though it's definitely not going to be as early as I initially told the wolves via PM it would be.

[Aganzir]

Unless the day begins like an hour earlier, I won't be around until the later part of it.

[Meneltarmacil]

The next day will probably begin later than usual due to a dental appointment of mine.

[satansaloser2005]

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up, Menel. Now I won't be rushing to get to class early to check the Downs in vain. Enjoy the denti-....yeah, never going to happen.

[satansaloser2005]

Double post. Erm, I don't know when the day's starting, but I won't be here for about two hours....as in two hours from now. I'll try to post as soon as I get back, but enjoy the day start without Silly Sally over here. :)

[Kath]

I'm so sorry for disappearing earlier. I watched a film with my sister in the late afternoon after getting up too early and ended up falling asleep. My parents decided to let me sleep so I went right through the deadline.

[satansaloser2005]

No worries, Kath. I nearly did the same thing this afternoon. But the day turned out all right without you, eh? :D




EDIT WELL AFTER THE FACT: My 21st is next Monday (there's a reason I mention this, I swear) so I need to renew my driver's license tomorrow after class if the place is still open. With that in mind, I'll probably be later than usual to get to the Day's posts, just to inform you all. Sleep/work/whatever else you're doing well! :)

~~Sally~~

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I have to announce that I am going to be away for the weekend. That means, tomorrow at 7AM I am going away, so I will have the chance to post toDay only now, which I will try, and then I am gone. Soo... I might possibly persuade some good soul to keep in contact and eventually vote for me, if it's needed... but if not, then count on me on Sunday, but probably only at the end of the Day (if I'm alive).

[Meneltarmacil]

The next Day will start 1.5 hours early, just to let you all know.

[Meneltarmacil]

One more thing: I got the date of my trip wrong; I'm actually leaving on Tuesday morning; thus, I will be able to post the next two death scenes, but not the one afterward. I'll be gone for a while, so if anyone (including the deceased) wish to mod the end of the game, they may place their names here.

[Nogrod]

I'll be gone for a while, so if anyone (including the deceased) wish to mod the end of the game, they may place their names here.I can be online up to the next Saturday morning (my time - means Friday evening US time). If no one else is able I can take the couple of Days/Nights....

[Meneltarmacil]

What's with the lack of activity on the game thread? Surely somebody has something they want to discuss...:(

[Volo]

What's with the lack of activity on the game thread? Surely somebody has something they want to discuss...:(

Exactly! I'm kind of bored here! :p

[Thinlómien]

That's what happens when you first kill Noggie and then me... :p ;)

[satansaloser2005]

That's what happens when you first kill Noggie and then me... :p ;)



That's what I thought. "Great, now our two loudest people are dead." There's no amusement when everyone's so quiet! :(

[Mithalwen]

Well I am sorry.. but Sunday is hard for internet access... and I am waiting now...

[Kath]

No worries Menel! We're just glad to see you. :)

Plus, we've obviously all been very well-trained, as not one of us dared post after the deadline even without you! :D

[Meneltarmacil]

OK, since I will not be able to moderate from here on out, Nogrod has agreed to take over.
