Admin Thread for Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIX: Were-Librarians

[Lariren Shadow]

Welcome to the tenth reunion of the Barrow Downs High School!

Thank you, everyone, for showing up and, as the co-voted coordinator of this fun function it has been my job to do some research on our class. For notable things we did, as a class, the only thing that I could remember or find from interviewing some of you has been our fond name for the school librarians. Yes, I’m talking about our very own Were-Librarians. I couldn’t find out who exactly came up with the name, it might have been the ever-popular Sally or the recluse Fea but we were all using it in no time. For who could forget how they hated anyone in their library or how they always traveled in a pack ready to snatch up a lose book or catch a student eating or talking or even breathing loudly! Who else is glad that they are no longer there? Though, they always seemed to know where we were, we were convinced that one of us was a snitch.

As for the class as a whole, there were two of you who we thought would get married and have kids by now, our high school sweethearts. From what I hear didn’t work out so well but you are still close friends. There was the star football player who also stood up for the little guy. The aspiring school newspaper reporter who could find out anything about anyone with no help at all. But we also had a black sheep of sorts, the snitch who always told about any wrong doings in the library.

Now lets have a good reunion and remember all the good times!

Roles:

Good players:

School reporter (Seer): You could find out anything about anyone who had wanted with a little bit of research. Every Night the seer will send a pick of a player to dream of and they will receive the players role. If the Seer dreams of the Ranger or the Hunter they may choose to send me or Mira a message saying that they would like the Hunter or Ranger to know that the seer is the seer and the previous dreams with the roles. If the Seer has also already dreamed of one of them and feels that they may die in the Night they can choose to send the dream to that person as opposed to receiving the role himself or herself.

Star football player (Ranger): He was the big man on campus but he always stood up for the little guy. He was never mean to anyone and always pulled his teammates off of who ever they were picking on. He picks a player each night that he will protect. He can protect the same person two nights in a row, and can protect himself two nights in a row as well.

High School Sweethearts (Lovers): These two were inseparable. Everyone thought they would get married either right after high school or right after college. Sadly they drifted apart but are still close friends. These two know who their lover is and can communicate with them during the Day. If one of them is killed by a wolf then they get a revenge kill but it has to be used the next Day. The lone lover may also give this up to learn the role of two of their fellow players as well.

Bad players:

Were-Librarians: Three of the were-librarians have posed three of your classmates. All those rumors of them doing magic were true after all. These three may communicate during the Night phase.

The Snitch (Cobbler): It is his job to help the were-librarians win. Every other Night the snitch may choose a player to send to the were-librarians so they can learn that player’s role. If the Seer dreams of the Snitch the result will say Snitch.

House keeping items:

Day shall begin at 1 AM Eastern time, 10 PM Pacific. Days shall be 24 hours. Voting is to look like this:

++Lari

And will not be counted unless bolded. Votes after Day has ended will not count. In the event of a tie, I shall pick a number, and Mira, my co-mod, shall assign numbers to the two players in a tie and the one with the closest number to the one I pick shall be lynched. Retractable votes should look like this:

--Lari

++Mira

And maybe used three times by each player.

I will invoke the right to mod-fire players who haven't voted for two Days in a row, unless they have posted to the admin thread about why.

Depending on the number of players I might add a Hunter role, but at the moment I'm not sure if there will be enough players.

Day 1 shall go something like this: For the first half of the Day I would like it to be banter to get it out of everyone's systems. Make jokes, play around, do as you will. Half way through the Day I shall post a note saying that the official speculation should begin as well as voting. However, if there is a problem and time restrictions you may vote before my post. I would like it to wait but I fully understand busy schedules and last minute emergencies.

Thanks to everyone who helped inspire this and Sally's game from where the whole idea of Were-Librarians came from.

You may pick your current profession if you so chose.

*straightens glasses*

Hello, my name is Sally, the socially awkward theater kid, whose nose is always buried in some sort of book. (What do you mean, it can't be who we actually are? Harrumph!)



Aka SIGN ME UP! :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I'm in.

[Mirandir]

Whooooo and the first two to sign up are people we already told were playing whether they wanted to or not!

Have I mentioned how excited I am for this game? :D

[Hakon]

Count me in. Although if my posts mirror anything like how I actually act in school then all of you will hate me very quickly. I am the most negative person you will ever meet. Anyway I am in for this game. Now this dead line sucks. One am eastern time is when I am usually asleep.

[Lariren Shadow]

I was trying to make it earlier, but, well, long story and it came to mine and Mira's work schedules not working with her being on the East Coast and my being on the West Coast.

And if I were anything like I was in high school...I would be the same, answering all the questions and making herself just like Hermione in every single way (am rereading the Harry Potter books at the moment).

[Mirandir]

Now this dead line sucks. One am eastern time is when I am usually asleep.

Lari and I had many a conversation about this exact topic. This was the best we could come up with, being as how we are currently on opposite sides of the country. However, if enough people have serious issues with it, we can see what can be done to change it.

[Lariren Shadow]

What she also said.

[Mirandir]

And if I were anything like I was in high school...I would be the same, answering all the questions and making herself just like Hermione in every single way (am rereading the Harry Potter books at the moment).

Oh what, you mean like you were in college? Specifically in History of England? Should we bring that up, dear? :p

[Lariren Shadow]

...Well that is what I'm going to grad school for. And yes, I know. I answer questions a lot. A lot a lot.

[Hakon]

You two went to collage together? What happened in that class?

I am the person in school that is famous and popular but hated. I got my rise to fame off of insulting every teacher and student, as well as correcting teachers all the time. I guess I am like Hermione in the fact that I blurt out the answer under my breath. Although my math teacher said I reminded him of one of those child geniuses.

[Lariren Shadow]

Mira is still in college but yes. In fact, Nienna, Fea, and I all lived together this past year at said college, and Mira unofficially moved on to our couch to live with us as well.. Hence Were-Librarians because Nienna, Mira, and I were playing Sally's game at three different computers while we were "working" at the circulation desk that night.

As for that class, I answered most of the questions. Well, me and another friend. But it was mostly us. And me. And since I'm going to grad school for Early Modern English history it was only natural that I would know a lot.

I did the answer under my breath thing too.

[Mirandir]

You two went to collage together? What happened in that class?

Ahem. Well. Not only did Lari and I go to college together, but Fea and Nienna did as well. Beyond that, we all lived together and worked at the same place). Yeah.

In History of England (which I was not actually in but heard plenty from our friends) our darling Lari would constantly answer questions, to the point where she was actually restricted to a certain number of questions per class by the aforementioned friends. Now she will attempt to tell you that she only answered when no one else was or she knew the answer or it related in some way (no matter how obscure) to the Tudors. Don't believe her. :p

[Boromir88]

Argh, why do all these great ideas keep coming up? :p

May I make a request for myself and maybe get a bit of practice in come Septmember? May I request to be the extremely nervous student teacher of this surely admirable class? :p

Late DL's are fine with me, seeing as it is nearing midnight and I will most likely be up for a while reading through such fine books like "US History: Reconstruction to the Present" and "Social Studies for Secondary Schools." :rolleyes:

[autume98]

This looks like a lot of fun. Please sign me up! :)

[Lariren Shadow]

As long as you remind me. And those books sound...well I should probably get the second one as I'm certified to teach that in New York:rolleyes: If only because the student teaching I had was all US history...which is not my forte and maybe it will tell me how to teach it better and possibly who to do if I ever get an Econ class again.

[Mirandir]

Yaaaaaaay more players!

...

I feel like I need Nerwen's pompoms for this job... :p

[satansaloser2005]

I still have them in my closet, ya know. I can dust them off if you wish. ;)

[Nerwen]

Count me in (when do I ever pass on a game?)

[satansaloser2005]

Speak of the devil....


:p

[Eönwë]

This seems like a brilliant game. I love the concept, Lari and Mira. If I would play I could.

[Nerwen]

Speak of the devil....


:p

Hey!:mad:

[Nessa Telrunya]

If you guys need another player, sign me up! =D

[wilwarin538]

I'm in! I totally need this right now, as long as we don't get started before Sunday though.

And I, the shy orchestra geek in highschool, have grown up to be......oh, Boro already stole teacher from me :p, now I have to think of something else.....I'll be the stay at home mom of 9. :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

What Mira and Lari haven't really mentioned is that for at least part of this game they are modding, they will be staying in the apartment now shared by me and Nienna. Good thing we've got wireless internet, or computer use would be a joke. :p

[Nienna]

I'm in. I'd like to be the artsy kid who had to be dragged out of the art room.

:D

[Macalaure]

I'm in! I'll be realistic with my profession: I'm the shy kid who doesn't talk to anyone. ;)

Hmm, and those are some pretty powerful gifteds there....

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Ooh, professions. I forgot about those. I'm sick of being a student, so we'll go with the long term goal: professor. I teach freshman comp.

[Boromir88]

As long as you remind me. And those books sound...well I should probably get the second one as I'm certified to teach that in New York If only because the student teaching I had was all US history...which is not my forte and maybe it will tell me how to teach it better and possibly who to do if I ever get an Econ class again.
hehe, thanks. :) What a coincidence? As I just happen to have "Economics: Putting the Principles into action," too.


And I, the shy orchestra geek in highschool, have grown up to be......oh, Boro already stole teacher from me :p, now I have to think of something else
You stole whatever pirate role I first wanted, and was stuck as a nasty gunner swine. So now we're even. :p

[Mirandir]

I still have them in my closet, ya know. I can dust them off if you wish.

That would be good. Thanks, dear!

This seems like a brilliant game. I love the concept, Lari and Mira. If I would play I could.

No, Steve, absolutely not. I can't believe you would even consider it. Juuuuuust kidding! My brain has taken a leave of absence. :D

I'm in! I totally need this right now, as long as we don't get started before Sunday though.

No worries, definitely won't start before Sunday. Probably sometime next week.

I'm in. I'd like to be the artsy kid who had to be dragged out of the art room.

Wow, go figure. :rolleyes: Took you long enough to sign up, Nienna!

GASP! ISA BUBBLES! Mira is pleased. :D

[Mirandir]

And YAY Nerwen and Nessa! We likes people. :D

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Sally gets to be the socially awkard theatre kid? WHAT?!

Okay, fine. I'll be the rebel with nothing to rebel against, but looks cool.

And those gifteds are very powerful... but the were-librarians do have the snitch.

[satansaloser2005]

Sally gets to be the socially awkard theatre kid? WHAT?!



First to the finish, my love. :)

[Nogrod]

Looks like a fun concept and a great line-up!

Sadly I'm going to have my hands more than full of RL things (a bunch of 'Downers on a visit, beginning of the semester, our choir's dance-production with seven live-shows...). So no werewolfing for me in about next three weeks or something. :(

But a lot of RL fun! :D
(not counting the starting of the work...)

[Formendacil]

*definitely feels vindicated about predicting an awesome game next...*

Gah...

A 1:00 am EDT deadline is 11:00 pm here... which is entirely too workable... and a game that doesn't start until Monday or Tuesday doesn't interfere with my long weekend sans Internet... and if it actually starts thenish, it should be over or I'll be dead with time to spare ere the Fall resumes... and lots of cool 'Downers are playing...

le sigh...

Fine. I shall play too--provided the game starts no later than Thursday next week. If it does, I have to back out.

Let's see... ten years out of 'Downer High? I'm stuck in academia... eating Kraft Dinner out of soup cans trying to finish my Doctorate in Inane Uselessness.



P.S. This game also happens to have no Nog... I think I shall feel like a Lover without his other half... :p

[Hakon]

This is probably not the best joke but I will still go for it.

Formy, I can become your new other half for the time being. I am sure I can fill in for Nog. I hope I can. Again this is a bad joke.

[Formendacil]

This is probably not the best joke but I will still go for it.

Formy, I can become your new other half for the time being. I am sure I can fill in for Nog. I hope I can. Again this is a bad joke.

You're much too kind.:Merisu:

As much as I appreciate your generous offer, perhaps it's best I don't accept. It would be nice to get through Day 1, at least, without having a nemesis. It'd be a novelty, anyway.

[satansaloser2005]

Formie, I saw that you were playing and my exact words were, "Formie? No. Way." They were followed by a small (because I'm so dern tired) squee. :)

(By the way, I loved the letter I got from you! I started a reply but promptly lost it, so you likely won't receive anything in response because I'm a lazy bum.)

[Lariren Shadow]

Again, today and tomorrow are why I have a co-mod who is amazing as life went "hahahaha you want to have internet fun? Have work!"

As it is looking right now, I'm thinking of maybe cutting sign ups at Friday, sending out roles on Saturday, and starting Sunday night maybe. I shall have to talk this over with people but I'm thinking that is what might happen as I would like to be here for close of the first Day(and not paying for internet in a stupid airport).

Thanks everyone for signing up so far!

I'm in! I'll be realistic with my profession: I'm the shy kid who doesn't talk to anyone. ;)

Hmm, and those are some pretty powerful gifteds there....

Yes they are, but I also tried to counter that. And yay you're playing!

hehe, thanks. :) What a coincidence? As I just happen to have "Economics: Putting the Principles into action," too.


I think that might have been helpful...

le sigh...

Aw, I feel like that is a very nice compliment, about my game being awesome. And you are on the list, and don't worry about it possibly starting Sunday night, you will have all of Monday to work on it.

[autume98]

Could I be the computer geek who keeps to herself and nobody really knows?

Looks like it's going to be a GREAT game! Thanks for putting it up Lari and Mira. :)

[wilwarin538]

Sunday sounds absolutely wonderful to me!

The line up is just lovely!!! :D Fun times...

[Brinniel]

I'm interested in playing, though between work, interning, and a social life (yes I do have one now), my participation will be minimal. Which means don't expect any sort of long analysis posts from me.

Fine. I shall play too--provided the game starts no later than Thursday next week. If it does, I have to back out.
Can I second that request for the game not to start until later in the week? I'm being temporarily kicked out of my apartment Monday through Friday and will have to share a computer for the time being. If you do start earlier, I guess I wouldn't have to back out, but don't plan on seeing anymore than one to two posts per Day from me.

So if you'll have me, I'm in...as the goth kid everyone's afraid of, of course. I love playing dark and scary. :Merisu:

[Formendacil]

Actually, Brinn, that's a request to start earlier rather than later--well, in the perfect window, actually, since I'm needy. And 'cause I'm gone this weekend. If the game starts Thursday or later, I have to pull out--that's getting too close to start of my all-too-soon school year.

Sorry, I'm already useless for a united front... and we aren't even in-game yet. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The mods and at least a few of the players already know that my life just went insane (on top of the rest of the stuff happening next week, I was informed yesterday that my new job starts Monday instead of the 17th), so...

I'm still in, but please remember I'll be at work all day before you kill me for low participation.

[Brinniel]

Meh, I must've been tired; I always read things wrong. Which means I'll probably be lousy in this game. :rolleyes:

But if the game started Thursday, that'd be perfect, or even Wednesday. If the game does start Sunday, there will be 2 1/2 Days where I'll barely be able to participate. Just warning everyone, so they don't complain about me or anything...

[Lariren Shadow]

So to clear up confusion: Game, as I intend it, shall start Sunday night at 1 AM Eastern. Roles shall go out tomorrow.

Brinn, if you still want to play I would love to have you. And Fea, yay job starting but boo job starting. At least your start date no longer sounds like a due date.

[satansaloser2005]

So to clear up confusion: Game, as I intend it, shall start Sunday night at 1 AM Eastern. Roles shall go out tomorrow.

Yay! Can't wait! :)


And Fea, yay job starting but boo job starting. At least your start date no longer sounds like a due date.

Oh dear. Is someone delivering ducks again? 'Cause it was funny the first time, but now....

[Lariren Shadow]

Oh dear. Is someone delivering ducks again? 'Cause it was funny the first time, but now....

No, I just commented the other day when I was talking with Fea about what was going to happen when I get into Boston how when they told her her job was going to start sounded more like a due date than an actual date.

[satansaloser2005]

No, I just commented the other day when I was talking with Fea about what was going to happen when I get into Boston how when they told her her job was going to start sounded more like a due date than an actual date.

Heh. I'll believe it. And it wouldn't make any sense anyway (for Fea to be delivering ducks, that is) because I'm the Mother Duck....er, I mean, that was several games ago. :p

*snickers with Mira*


Anyway I can't wait for the game to start. Are you guys looking for more people or is it going to be another smaller game? And is it Sunday yet? ;)

[Mirandir]

Heh. I'll believe it. And it wouldn't make any sense anyway (for Fea to be delivering ducks, that is) because I'm the Mother Duck....er, I mean, that was several games ago. :p

*snickers with Mira*


Anyway I can't wait for the game to start. Are you guys looking for more people or is it going to be another smaller game? And is it Sunday yet? ;)

Heh heh... loves it.

We're waiting to hear from two people in particular (to Facebook!) but otherwise I think we have enough to start. That being said, we won't close sign ups just yet (not that I've actually run this by Lari yet).

[Lariren Shadow]

We're waiting to hear from two people in particular (to Facebook!) but otherwise I think we have enough to start. That being said, we won't close sign ups just yet (not that I've actually run this by Lari yet).

No you haven't...FAIL:mad:. But it sounds legit.

[Lariren Shadow]

Note to all players: As it seems that this is as many as I'm going to get(one person is trying to stay off the internet) I would like to announce that if anyone else would like to sign up they have until 11:30 PM Pacific time tonight. After that sign ups are closed.

Furthermore roles will be sent out tomorrow before 2:30 Pacific. The game thread shall be posted. Night 1 shall begin then, at 10 PM Pacific. That means the Seer can send me his/her Night dream and the Were-Librarians can begin planning.

[Lariren Shadow]

Officially sign ups are now closed.

[satansaloser2005]

So just to clarify. Does the game start this (Saturday) evening? Or Sunday?

[Brinniel]

I noticed I'm not on the player list. Am I still in?

[Lariren Shadow]

Sally: Playing, as in posting, starts Sunday Night.

Brinn: That was me not doing a good job of adding people. You're playing if you want, I knew there was something I forgot to do yesterday....:rolleyes:

[satansaloser2005]

Okay cool. Just checking. Thanks! :D

[Lariren Shadow]

Yup, I came to realize what my idea of "game starting" might not be the same as others ideas of "game starting" so I tried to clarify.

[Lariren Shadow]

Roles are officially out everyone! Night 1 shall begin when the thread is posted tonight.

[alonariel]

Way to go me for being anti-social and not getting around to introducing myself until now. At least my internet didn't crap out on me like last time...

Can I be the nurse who never sleeps? As for the kind of kid I was ten years ago...anti-cheerleader kinda says it all. (Lari, not a word!)

[Nerwen]

I forgot to give myself an in-game role. So:

*sigh* You know, this reunion is a total nostalgia trip for me... and painful too.

High school was by far the best time of my life; it's been downhill since then. My grades may not have been anything to cheer about, but wasn't I cute? :Merisu: All my friends were sure I was going to be the next top model, or maybe a film star. (Not that I could act– in fact I rather looked down on the nerdy theatre kids.)

But somehow that just didn't work out. I'm vague about what my actual job is. Maybe I work in a checkout... maybe I'm a stripper... You can ask, but I'll never quite tell you. I'll always try to make it sound a lot more glamourous than it is, though– I'll be darned if I'm going to lose face in front of all you geeks who went to college.:mad:

[Hakon]

For my career in the game I guess I am something successful, not sure what though. As for in high school I will go with what I am. I am the loner who is a jerk and pretty much hates everyone around him.

[satansaloser2005]

....that I'm a bit thick. I voted Nienna but didn't actually retract my vote for Nerwen, so it was never technically a tie in the first place. Go me.



Yes, I felt the need to share that with you all. Have a great game everyone! :)


~~Sally~~

[Nerwen]

....that I'm a bit thick. I voted Nienna but didn't actually retract my vote for Nerwen, so it was never technically a tie in the first place. Go me.

Never mind. I did the exact same thing last time I was a wolf.

[Hakon]

I would like to apologize both for not posting a whole lot and for well sort of role playing. My only experience prior to this game was The Cottage of Lost Play one but I think that was different than the usual WW game. Now that I understand better how it works I can play the game properly. Once again I am sorry.

[Lariren Shadow]

....that I'm a bit thick. I voted Nienna but didn't actually retract my vote for Nerwen, so it was never technically a tie in the first place. Go me.

And that is why I need to triple check votes. I thought I got everyone, saw a tie, and then picked...so I guess Fate(or whatever) knew about what I missed.

Also fail Mira for sleeping through texts.

Hakon: You're doing fine. Being a newbie doesn't go away for awhile, it took me a few to be able to get the hang of it properly.

[satansaloser2005]

Once again, Lari, thanks for a fabulous narration!!!!! :D

[Mirandir]

And that is why I need to triple check votes. I thought I got everyone, saw a tie, and then picked...so I guess Fate(or whatever) knew about what I missed.

Hakon: You're doing fine. Being a newbie doesn't go away for awhile, it took me a few to be able to get the hang of it properly.

Wow I should definitely not go to bed before deadline. Slash shouldn't sleep through texts. Still don't know how that happened.

As for the newbie thing, it USED to be that newbies got a three (?) day grace period to get a handle on the game, but that kinda died recently.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

newbies got a three (?) day grace period to get a handle on the game, but that kinda died recently.

Three? For real? If that's true, it's generous. As a general rule, newbies always get Day 1 to get their feet on the ground, and the only leeway they get in following days comes in a benefit-of-the-doubt sort of way. If you're behaving suspiciously, you're fair game.

[Mirandir]

I think that's what it was when I started playing. I could very easily be mistaken though (aka would not be surprised if I was).

[Hakon]

Are you allowed to quote the narrations to back up your reasoning? If that is so then I know a way to help rule out a whole lot of people from being suspects.

[Boromir88]

You can, but usually the moderator narrations have nothing to do with people's roles, it's just an interesting part of the game. That is something that is taken from the traditional 'Mafia/WW' card game if you've ever played it with friends. ;)

3-day grace periods? 1 day graces...eh...there's always another game. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Are you allowed to quote the narrations to back up your reasoning? If that is so then I know a way to help rule out a whole lot of people from being suspects.

I co-modded a game with the phantom wherein we very carefully wrote the narrations to include hints toward a final revelation at the end (that the bad guys were, in fact, the good guys), but it had very little, if anything, to do with the actual in-game play.

And I once modded a game where I more or less lied my way through the narrations, leading the village to believe that they were still in search of the final wolf when in fact they'd killed my beloved bad guys off in two days flat, so I led them through a systematic massacre of themselves, picking players at random during the Night phase to keep up the charade. I called the game Blind Luck and didn't so much leave hints in the narration as used my status as mod to make everybody believe they still needed to work.

But typically mod's tend to leave the playing to the players, and the narrations are carefully written to avoid leaving even accidental hints.

You can try quoting the narration if you want, but nobody's really going to pay attention to it unless a mod has specifically mentioned that there are hints in the writing.

[Hakon]

Okay. It is just that in the narration for this game, the gender of two wolves is given away. One is female and that one was obviously Sally and one is male. Anyway I am just thinking there are some things in there that might be useful. Also Fea leading them on a hunt like that sounds fun. Shame I wasn't around for that specific game.

Boro, I get it. My grace period has ended.

[Boromir88]

It's also usually not permitted to post on the admin thread, to discuss the game during the 'night phase' unless you need to tell people whether you will be away for something/can't be active for a certain day. ;)

[Lariren Shadow]

Hakon: Yes, I did give the wolves genders, but it was convinient for what I was writing to give them genders. Yes, Sally is a girl and a wolf, but that doesn't mean I don't have an all female wolf pack. I just decided to be fair with the genders. Also, unlike Fea, I don't have any clues in here.

I went and posted a quick "I'm here and reading" before I noticed who had died. :rolleyes: (has now been deleted though)

My point for bringing this up: even avid long time WW players make mistakes. :D

Have a fun game!!! Anyone who survives gets to adopt a few of my kids. :p

[Boromir88]

I hate number generators, so unfair :p

Hehe, I'm just messing, just give me an honourable death...for a wolf as honorable for a wolf you can make a death. :D

Edit: woah that last phrase makes no sense..hmph oh well

[Nerwen]

Sorry for not voting– I just couldn't get back before the deadline.

[Mirandir]

So Boro, was your death honorable enough? Figured it didn't get much better than a samurai sword. :D

Couldn't have asked for better :D...from the Mac and Cheese tune, which I have stuck in my head, to running on my own samurai sword. Very nice, here take another smilie. :D

Speaking of which....

I was in the grocery store today. I walked past the mac and cheese and I giggled. :D

Soooo let's say that hypothetically the mods went to Salem today with a bunch of their friends and are now very very sleepy. The narration is written and might be posted early, but if we pass out before 1am EST go ahead and post.

[Lariren Shadow]

As it has been said, we Mods did go to Salem. It was fun. We are also very very sleepy and need to be up early in the morning.

So I'm trusting all of you with the fact that I'm posting the narration about a half an hour early. I will modfire anyone who posts early. Sally is watching.

Does that mean I get to eat them if they post? :p

And now I'm thoroughly afraid of posting even a minute early! :eek:

As you should be, oh tasty one....


I am Sally. Hear me snicker. :p



(And now I shall get on AIM because Nienna apparently demands it. Toodles!)

[satansaloser2005]

Incidentally, it's deadline, so you fine people can all feel free to post without the fear of being eaten. Although if any of Wilwa's kids stumble in....;)


ETA: Dead girl's request. I'm going to have an 'interesting' evening, so if you want to entertain me toward the end of the Day I'd appreciate it muchly. Back to the barrow now. :D

I'll vouch for #7. I was babysitting for her earlier and she escaped out the back window.

[satansaloser2005]

Om nom.

Save yourself, Alona! Head for the hills!

If you're going to eat any of them might as well go for #2, he's got the most meat on him. #7 is a small little thing. :p

[satansaloser2005]

Ambiguous.

Lari? Are you there?

Hope it's okay for me to pop in; the moddesses don't seem to be online so I figured helpful!Sally would try to be helpful.

I asked Lari the same question yesterday and this is what she told me.

X and Y are lovers. X dies. Either Y gets to kill someone the following Day (a la Shasta in my game, but without the coin flip) or they pick two people and get to know their roles (they get no other dreams in the game, but that one Night they can pick any two people and find out what they are).

Obviously I can't say which the remaining lover chose to do, but that's how it works as far as I'm aware. Hope that makes sense!

An unforseen incident has happened at work so now I have to fix it. Not sure how long it will take. However there is a chance it could keep me busy up to a couple hours before DL. I'll still post when and if I can.

[autume98]

It looks like the issue is resolved. Yay! So long as it stays resolved I'll be around. :cool:
