Admin Thread for WW: Fall From Olmpus

[Glirdan]

PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL SPECIFIED!

Welcome everyone to my first modded game since my return!! :D I'm kinda sorta pumped for this because I've been trying to work this game out since Wilwa and I were on the bus on the way back from Bostonmoot.

On a quick sidenote, seeing as the last game never finished, will this one be considered LXXVIII?

So, as the title suggests, this game is going to be revolving around the Greek Gods of Olympus, which happens to be why it's taken me awhile to get everything sorted (there's at least 18 Gods, and that's not including Hercules). However, the catch with that is you are not picking which God or Goddess you would like. The reason why is because what they reign over is similar to their role. For instance, Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt is the Hunter. The names of the Gods and Goddess's are solely for role and narration purposes. Therefore, once you receive your God/Goddess (AKA YOUR ROLE), you are to keep it to yourself. You are not to say what God/Goddess you are during the game OR in PM's unless specified.

I will post the roles in a completely separate post as there are about 19 different roles. Yes, this will be a big game. Therefore please read the roles carefully. When sending out the roles, I will also send the description with it.

Before I do that, let's go through the rules of this game:


~ You must set yourself to invisible ~
~ Votes will be counted up TO DL. Any votes posted after that time will not be counted ~
~ NO PM'ing or outside chatting (means, NO Facebook chat, MSN, AIM, face to face conversationg, phone, texting) about the game!! ~ *
~ If you are dead, you will STAY dead. You WILL NOT post in the game thread OR the Admin thread UNTIL THE GAME IS DONE! ~
~ When voting it will be on a

separate line and will be highlighted

As shown above (^) ~

~ Name-calling, swearing, and abbreviated/implied swearing are not allowed ~ *
~ The wolf team should submit their chosen kill HALF AN HOUR AT THE LATEST before deadline or there will be a no-kill. **
~ If there is failure to post/vote for two consecutive days, you will be modfired ~

Footnotes

* You WILL be modfired if these two rule are broken
** This applies for ALL roles required to send a name into the mod (THAT'S ME! :D )

I think that pretty much covers it. And I am very serious about mod firing players for breaking these rules. It's high time we get Werewolf back to the standards they once were.

As for DL time, I am going to leave that open for discussion as I have had two requests for two very opposite times as they are both in very opposite time zones.

Roles will be coming up shortly.

PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL SPECIFIED!

[Glirdan]

PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL SPECIFIED

Depending on the amount of players I get, some of these roles may not actually make it into the game. However, if I get MORE then what I need, I may add in a role or two.

As for the roles thus far, we have:

2 Seers (well sort of :p) *
1 Ranger
1 Hunter
4 Wolves
3 Lovers **
2 Shirrifs
1 Cursed
1 Mythomaniac
1 Unicorn

There are also a few roles of my own that I created for the purpose of this game.
I'm going to post the God/Goddess that corresponds with each role. However, PLEASE READ ALL ROLES POSTED CAREFULLY. Some of them have added twists and such to their role! Also, READ THE FOOTNOTES. Very important information on the roles there as well!

---------------------------------------------------------

Zeus– King of the Gods – Lovers with Hera, who will be allowed to PM during Night Phase only. If Hera is lynched during the Day, Zeus will take a revenge kill. If she is Night Killed (ie. Hunter or Hunting Guardian), Zeus will PM me one name at the start of the Day and will have the power to either kill them, protect them, see their role or have an extra vote (which they may send to me) for that Day. **

Hera - Queen of the Gods – Lovers with Zeus AND is also a Wolf. Zeus and Hera will be allowed to PM during Night Phase only. If Zeus is lynched during the Day, Hera will NOT take a revenge kill. Instead, Hera will PM me one name at the start of the Day and will have the power to either see their role or have an extra vote (which they may send to me) for that Day. **

Poseidon- God of the Sea – Poseidon is this games Unicorn. When Poseidon dies I will put the names of all of the dead in a hat, including the Unicorn’s name. If the name I pick out is of an innocent (or Cobbler) that person will come back to life ALONG WITH Poseidon. If a Wolf or the False Seer is chosen, no one comes back.

Hestia - Virgin Goddess of the Hearth – I’m bringing back a role that has not been used in some time…or at least since I’ve come back, and that’s a Mythomaniac. The Mythomaniac will send me a player’s name of their choice on Night 2, and depending on what that player’s role is, the Mythomaniac will then inherit the same role. This means that if they choose a Wolf, they will be introduced to their furry friends of crime. If they choose a Shirrif, they will be introduced to their cohorts of justice. If they choose a Seer, Ranger, Hunter or Ordo, they will become so, but will not be able to communicate. This does not mean that the Mytho will inherit the same powers (ie. If they choose Hera or Zeus). If the Mytho chooses the Unicorn, Cursed or Protector of the Youth (which I will explain later), they will remain an Ordo. The Mytho’s powers will only be activated come Day 2. Therefore, if they are the pick of the Night, they will still die.

Hades - God of the Underworld – Lovers with Persephone and is also a Wolf. Only Hades will know the identity of Persephone. If she dies before she has found him, he will also die. If Hades dies before Persephone, she will live on. If they have found each other and Persephone dies, Hades will take a revenge kill. **

Persephone - Queen of the Underworld – Lovers with Hades. She will PM me one name every Night of who she believes Hades to be. If she guesses right, the two will be allowed to PM one another and must try to win the game. If she dies before finding Hades, he will also die, but if he dies before she, then she will live on. If Hades dies once they have found each other, Persephone will be granted one vision of any player and their role. **

Demeter - Goddess of the Harvest – This role is the Protector of the Youth. Demeter will know the identity of Persephone. If she should be in danger of being lynched, Demeter will be granted an extra vote, which she may send to me at any point in the Day and up to five minutes after DL. She may only do so once. If Persephone is in danger of being Night Killed, Demeter will automatically save her, which will also only happen once.

Hebe – The Goddess of Youth – Hestia is one of two Shirrifs who will be allowed to PM both Day and Night. The Shirrifs are not allowed to reveal who they are while their partner is alive.

Hercules – Mortal son of Zeus – Hercules is the second Shirrif, with an added touch. If Hebe is to be lynched, Hercules will send me the name of one person he would like to protect that Night. Nothing will happen if Hebe is Night killed.

Apollo – God of Prophecy – Apollo will be the Seer for this game. Each Night, they will PM the name of one person and that person’s identity will be revealed to Apollo. *

Hermes – Messenger of the Gods – Will also be a Seer as well. Each Night, the will PM the name of one person and that person’s identity will be revealed to Hermes. *

Ares – God of War – Ares is a Wolf.

Hephaestus – God of the Forge– He is a Wolf as well as the Lover of Aphrodite. He does not know the identity of Aphrodite and will thus PM me on name every Night on who he thinks Aphrodite is. If either of them die before they’ve found one another, they will continue on. If Aphrodite dies when they have found each other, he will take a revenge kill. If Hephaestus knows her identity, but she does not know his, and she is killed, he will PM me the name of one person for a vision of what their role is. **

Aphrodite – Goddess of Love and Beauty – She is the Lover of Hephaestus, but does not know his identity. She will PM me one name every Night on who she thinks Hephaestus could be. If either of them die before they’ve found on another, they will continue on. If Hephaestus dies whey they have found each other, she will be granted the opportunity to either Hunt or Protect one person for the following Night phase. If Aphrodite knows his identity, but he does not know hers and he is killed, she will PM me the name of one person for a vision of what their role is. **

Pan – God of Wood and Pastures – Pan is the Ranger.

Dionysus – God of Wine – Dionysus is the Cursed. If the Wolves choose to Night kill him, he will join their ranks. Only the player and I will know that they are Dionysus. I will not reveal the Cursed until the end of the game.

Artemis – Goddess of the Hunt – Artemis will be this games Hunter (yes I did that on purpose). If Artemis is killed by a Werewolf or hanged by Villagers, she will PM me the name of one other player before being killed. That player is then automatically killed. She will also be working in tandem with the Hunting Guardian.

Eros – The God of Love (aka Cupid!) – Eros is the Hunting Guardian. Like the Ranger, each night, Eros will PM me the name of one other player to protect. However, should Eros be killed by the Wolves (and only the Wolves), he will send me the name of one other player to be killed automatically.

Athena – Goddess of Wisdom – Wise beyond her years, Athena will know the identities of one out of The Hunting Guardian, the Ranger, The Hunter and The Seer (at random). She will be the only one who knows which it is and she willNOT be allowed to PM said person. Should said character come in danger of being lynched (only lynched), she will send me an extra vote via PM, but she may only do so twice throughout the game.


FOOTNOTES

* ~ NOTE ~
One of the two Seers will be a False Seer! The False Seer's dreaming works such that if the False Seer dreams of the true Seer they're told they've found the False Seer, if they dream of anyone else I pull a role out of a hat containing all the remaining roles (minus the seer).

~ NOTE 2 ~
As far as the dreaming of the Seer’s goes, I will be telling them the dreamt player’s character name AND actual role. Makes their lives simpler instead of having to go back to the admin page and what not to see what Character represents what.

** The goal of all three Lovers pairing is to try to survive to the end. HOWEVER, this will only pertain to Zeus and Hera AT THE START OF THE GAME. Once the other two pairings have found each other, THEN it will be the goal of all three to win as Lovers. For the Wolves, there will be no revealing who you're counterpart is to your fellow packmates just as there will be no revealing who you're fellow packmates are to your Lover. And I should hope you all know this, bu there will be no revealing during the game either. If the pack so chooses, the Wolves MAY Night kill one of the counterparts. It is up to the Lover of the individual in question to try and save their partner.
-----------------------------------------------------

Now, as I've said, the only way I will be playing with ALL of these roles is if I get enough people signed up to play. If not enough people are playing, I will remove some roles. If we get more then enough, I may add in a Bear or a Cobbler to the game.

HAVE AT IT!

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

So I'm sitting here thinking "man, I really don't feel like getting involved in another game for a while...But oh man it's Glirdy...he'll be mad if I don't...And whaaaat Greek gods themed? ...Crap."

What that boils down to is I'm in. :p

[Glirdan]

I should also mention that the role you receive may not necessarily be your gender. After all, I like making things fun :P

[Inziladun]

Right, I'm in.

On a quick sidenote, seeing as the last game never finished, will this one be considered LXXVIII?

I don't know what the 'rule' is concerning that (if there is one), but my thought would be to have yours as 79.

[Loslote]

Greek mythology-based Werewolf???? How could I resist???? :D

Also, the Cursed knows that they're Cursed, eh? Fun times. :p

[Blind Guardian]

Me Me Me Me Me! I Wanna Play So Bad!

[Eönwë]

I knew I would want to play from the second I saw the title. Count me in!

[Glirdan]

Greek mythology-based Werewolf???? How could I resist???? :D

Also, the Cursed knows that they're Cursed, eh? Fun times. :p

Yes they will.

And I'm super excited for this to start! :D

[Glirdan]

I knew I would want to play from the second I saw the title. Count me in!

:D You must have played in some of my games before my hiatus...unless I'm loosing it, which wouldn't surprise me either :rolleyes:

EDIT: Just noticed that I type way too fast sometimes and noticed the title lol! It'll be fixed for the actual game

[Eönwë]

Artemis – Goddess of the Hunt – Artemis will be this games Hunter (yes I did that on purpose). If Artemis is killed by a Werewolf or hanged by Villagers, she will PM me the name of one other player before being killed. That player is then automatically killed. She will also be working in tandem with the Hunting Guardian.
In tandem, you say? Does that mean PM abilities or just that they are on the same team?

You must have played in some of my games before my hiatus...unless I'm loosing it, which wouldn't surprise me either

EDIT: Just noticed that I type way too fast sometimes and noticed the title lol! It'll be fixed for the actual game

I actually don't think I was even on the 'Downs before your hiatus! :p :eek:

Also, that post is quite ironic, i.e. what are you loosing? Cerberus? (or is that Kerberos in proper Greek?) :p

[Glirdan]

In tandem, you say? Does that mean PM abilities or just that they are on the same team?

PMing abilities. I had thought about adding the Ranger in to that mix, but that would give the Villagers too much of an advantage.

[wilwarin538]

Also, the Cursed knows that they're Cursed, eh? Fun times. :p

I'm thinking it'll need to be strongly explained to them that they are on the Village's team, and that they shouldn't be trying to leave hints or anything for the wolves to find them. If they're chosen as a kill and turned then they'll be on the wolves' team, but until then they have to strive for a village victory.


I do have one concern about Zeus and Hera. Cause she's bad, and he's good, and their first allegiance is to their team, not each other. So couldn't Zeus reveal Hera as a wolf, or Hera just kill Zeus during the night? Same could be true of Hephaestus and Aphrodite.

I also think Athena and Demeter knowing all those roles seems like it just gives them so much power, and gives the village a huge advantage since they could confirm a gifted reveal. All the other roles balance each other out, but I think those two hold just a bit too much information.

[Nienna]

So how could I not want to play with all these interesting roles and my Glirdy being Mod. I'm in but if this drags on foreverz and I'm still alive (doubtful) for 25 days from now (August 13!) then I must bow out gracefully as I'm leaving the country. :cool:

I knew there was a reason you're my bestie! :D

I totally agree with Athena and Demeter....I'm going to change those two up in a little bit, but just to give an idea: Athena knows either Ranger, Hunter or Hunting Guardian (I'm eliminating the Seer) or maybe even two of them if there is enough people and Demeter either Persephone or Hercules...I'm leaning more towards Persephone as she is Demeter's daughter.

As for the Lovers: I was thinking earlier of adding the "Live till the end of the game" for Persephone and Hades. As for Hera and Zeus, even though they ARE Lovers and would make sense for them as well, I kind of was thinking almost Shirrif style. No revealing each other or yourselves and if Hera wants Zeus dead lynch style she would have to work for it. Actually, I'm going to make a rule right now for the Lovers:

Wolves may not send in their Lover counterpart as a Night kill.

This way, if Hera really wants Zeus dead that badly, she will have to work like the rest to weed him out as a Wolf and it would kind of be redundant for her to do that as she doesn't get a revenge kill.

What do you think?

PS: Yes, I know this changes things a bit for their roles. So anything I'm change, I will bold and italicize above

EDIT: Thoughts on Demeter and Athena changes. As for the Lovers, if you see a flaw with anything else there, let me know.

[Eönwë]

Wolves may not send in their Lover counterpart as a Night kill.
But what if the pack decides that that's who they want to kill (for other reasons etc.)?

[Glirdan]

But what if the pack decides that that's who they want to kill (for other reasons etc.)?

Darn these loopholes that I didn't get a chance to think about. Okay....thinking on my feet time here we go....

Wolf Lovers are not allowed to reveal to the other packmates who their counterpart is.

And to make things simplistic:

ALL THREE Lover pairings must try to survive to the end. IF all three pairings live, it will be considered a three way Lovers Win (the likelihood of which is very slim)

[Glirdan]

Take a look see in my second post at the changes I've made.

[wilwarin538]

I knew there was a reason you're my bestie!

And here I thought the reason was my stunning beauty. :Merisu::p

You could stay vague about Athena. Like "She knows the identity of one of: the Seer, the Ranger, the Hunter, or the Hunter Guardian. Only she will know which." And keep it a mystery to which she is aware of? Mysteries are fun times.

One more tinsy thing about the Lover pair, but this you can ignore if you want, I don't think it's like a problem or anything; but Hephaestus and Aphrodite, I think only one of them should be allowed to guess and the other doesn't know their identity at all (like A guesses, and H doesn't know who A is at all, or vice versa). Just to make it a bit harder. I like making things harder for people. ;)

[satansaloser2005]

I know you owned up to it already, but I can't help myself.

YOU HAVE A TYPO IN YOUR THREAD TITLE!

There. I feel better now. *hugs you* Anyway, you KNOW I'm in.

Smite! Smite! Smite!

(I'll ask Tum if she wishes to play as well, so make sure to save a spot for her.)

[Nerwen]

Sign me up!:smokin:

[satansaloser2005]

Also, do you know what would be the best deadline ever? 1AM GMT.

[Kath]

Mostly just posting so I get emails and remember to check the thread!

So looking forward to this Glirdy. :)

[Folwren]

If there is still room............I guess I'll play. I have a few somewhat empty weeks. I doubt I will have time to read every single thing posted, but I shall do my best to be involved...if there's room, that is.

-- Foley

[Glirdan]

Oh yes there is!!! :D I haven't seen you in a game since I got back!! This is exciting!! :D

[Folwren]

Oh yes there is!!! :D I haven't seen you in a game since I got back!! This is exciting!! :D

I haven't played in....well, years, I guess.

[Mithalwen]

Oh now I am a bit jealous.... I wish I could join but I know I really can't . But Foley playing makes it a very special event... and there is a "Mith"omaniac... *pouts*. BTW I'd move on to the next number finished or not the last one hasn't been deleted and this is a new game.

[Lalaith]

It's summer! I can play! *claps hands, jumps up and down*
Oh Mith, pleeese try to play too....

[satansaloser2005]

*faints* Kath, Lal, Fowlren, and (possibly) Mith? My day, it is made! ^_^

[satansaloser2005]

Tum's in. :)

[wilwarin538]

I *think* I managed to convince Phantom to join.

[Blind Guardian]

We all get special rolls, there's no Ordos at all? I have a feeling I'm not going to live long.

[Loslote]

Wait, wait. Greek mythology AND Kath AND Lalaith AND Foley AND maybe Mith AND maybe The Phantom???

Pardon me, I have to go die of win now...

[Mithalwen]

It's summer! I can play! *claps hands, jumps up and down*
Oh Mith, pleeese try to play too....

Hmm well unless I get a puter sorted... really can't since may not have a car next week ..MOT and with father being so newly out of hospital.. I don't want to let people down but have so much going on with ancient and decrepit parent.

[A Little Green]

I'm so definitely in. :smokin: Lommy asks me to add that she hates Kath and Foley and Lalaith. (She doesn't have time to play.)

[Kath]

Yay Greenie! Aww sorry Lommy. :p

[Rikae]

Hey, I'm a bit afraid I've made myself a reputation as a troublemaker lately, but can I play if I promise to be good?

Also, one question - is the no revealing rule just for lovers, or for everyone? The latter would be a shame - false reveals are too much fun. :D

[Shastanis Althreduin]

This game looks complicated, but I'm in.

[satansaloser2005]

What better reputation to have? :Merisu:

You have to play. Who will I bicker mercilessly with if not you? <3

[Inziladun]

You have to play. Who will I bicker mercilessly with if not you? <3

Me, of course. Well, when I'm not after Rikae, that is. ;)

[Lalaith]

This list is really making me :)

Mith - I do understand about the pressure but even if you play in a semi-detached way, it would be better than not at all, wouldn't it?

Greenie - so pleased you're playing, is Lommy *sure* she can't? What about Nogs?

[Nogrod]

What about Nogs?Might be... if this starts sooner than later. I have a huge choir-dance project starting at August 4th and then the schools start again. But if I can count on you to kill me before that I'm game! :rolleyes:

So put me in with a questionmark Glirdy! Quick-start and I'm in, prolonged recruitment and I'm out.

[satansaloser2005]

Me, of course. Well, when I'm not after Rikae, that is. ;)

Ah, so very true, sir! I'm sorry I forgot you!

[Macalaure]

This game looks complicated, but I'm in.

I second both of these statements.

[satansaloser2005]

I second both of these statements.

Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[the phantom]

I'll have what she's having.

[Rikae]

But if I can count on you to kill me before that I'm game! :rolleyes:


You have my sword!

[Nogrod]

You have my sword!We still need the axe and the bow... :rolleyes:

[Macalaure]

You have my axe. :p

[satansaloser2005]

We still need the axe and the bow... :rolleyes:

I'm happy to offer my services (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30868251&l=01d7ce2fee&id=148000373)....snerk.

[Boromir88]

If at all possible don't start before Sunday, pour favor. I won't be anywhere near a workable, accessible computer 'til late Monday.

[Thinlómien]

Greenie! You just made me sound so mean! :D

And Lalaith, yes, I'm sure I can't play. :( It just means you have to play again in the near future... ;)

[Glirdan]

Hey, I'm a bit afraid I've made myself a reputation as a troublemaker lately, but can I play if I promise to be good?

Considering I agreed with you on all accounts (and I'm sure most of us here did) and because I love you and definitely want you in my game, you're in!! :D


Also, one question - is the no revealing rule just for lovers, or for everyone? The latter would be a shame - false reveals are too much fun.

I'm thinking of just leaving that rule to the Lovers and Lovers only. I agree with false reveals as is, but to do so and pull it off in this game will be very interesting to see :D


I'm so definitely in.

YAY!!


Lommy asks me to add that she hates Kath and Foley and Lalaith. (She doesn't have time to play.)

Boooo about the time.


I'll have what she's having.

I'm going to assume that means you're in :P


As for the start date, I'm going to respect Boro's wish and have our Night 1 on Sunday, thus making Monday our Day 1. Nog, is this alright with you or will you have to withdraw?

As for the deadline....I am thinking roughly around 2am Eastern Standard. If there is any conflict with this let me know. As it stands right now, we have all the people we need to play....

HOWEVER.

I am MORE than willing to let more people play if they so choose to join!! It will make things a little more difficult on my end and may mean that the game will last longer, but I figure, why not have a few ordo's with no special abilities!?

So, if there are any others that would wish to sign up, you have about 33 hours until the sing up is closed and the opening narration will be put up!! Thanks to everyone who is currently signed up!! I'm really pumped to get this show under way!! :D

[wilwarin538]

I'm really pumped to get this show under way!! :D

Yay! :D

[Shastanis Althreduin]

You have my axe. :p

And my bow makes three, I think. ;)

Or, wait. Does Boro still have it?

[wilwarin538]

Zeus– King of the Gods – Lovers with Hera, who will be allowed to PM during Night Phase only. If Hera is lynched during the Day, Zeus will take a revenge kill. If she is Night Killed, Zeus will PM me one name at the start of the Day and will have the power to either kill them, protect them, see their role or have an extra vote (which they may send to me) for that Day. **

Hera - Queen of the Gods – Lovers with Zeus AND is also a Wolf. Zeus and Hera will be allowed to PM during Night Phase only. If Zeus is lynched during the Day, Hera will NOT take a revenge kill. If he is Night Killed, Hera will PM me one name at the start of the Day and will have the power to either kill them, see their role or have an extra vote (which they may send to me) for that Day. **

Uhm, just realised that this doesn't make sense. Since Hera (being a wolf) can't be Night killed (unless you mean by a hunter or something) and Zeus is highly unlikely to be aslong as Hera is alive. Perhaps they should get their revenge-name thing if they are lynched instead?

And about the Mytho, what happens if they choose a Lover or one of the protector people (Athena for example), I'm assuming nothing?

And when the false seer dies will we know they were the false one, or will that be something we don't know til the end?

And are there no ordos at all? Cooooooooool.

K. I'm done I think. :D *huggles Mod* Sorry if some of these things were dealt with already.

[Glirdan]

Point 1 - Changed to lynch

Point 2 - You are correct in assuming nothing. Mytho will only be granted a role if he/she chooses The Seer, Ranger, Hunter, Sherrif or a Wolf.

Point 3 - I was thinking of keeping it a secret because I'm mean like that ;)

Point 4 - *Huggles his bestie and gives cookie*

[satansaloser2005]

And my bow makes three, I think. ;)

Or, wait. Does Boro still have it?

Oi, I already went there. Insert two quarters and try again. ;)


That late of a DL? Please say it ain't so, love. It's horrid for me. :(

[Kath]

2am EST = 7am my time? No problem but be aware I'll be voting pretty early with that deadline, like 11pm my time. :)

[Glirdan]

Hmmm....Well, I COULD try and change it to 11 pm or 12 am instead to try and accommodate but, those are really inconvenient times for me as well, but I COULD probably make it for those times.

[Kath]

No don't worry about it. :) Having to vote early makes me more likely to remember to! And if anything moving the DL to later works better for me. :D

[satansaloser2005]

Hmmm....Well, I COULD try and change it to 11 pm or 12 am instead to try and accommodate but, those are really inconvenient times for me as well, but I COULD probably make it for those times.

I love you? Also, I did make your icon. That's gotta be worth something. ;)


Technically I can do that DL but I know I'll want to stay up late to watch the game. So....yeah. I'm a naughty girl.

Point 1 - Changed to lynch

Point 2 - You are correct in assuming nothing. Mytho will only be granted a role if he/she chooses The Seer, Ranger, Hunter, Sherrif or a Wolf.

Point 3 - I was thinking of keeping it a secret because I'm mean like that ;)

Point 4 - *Huggles his bestie and gives cookie*

Point 1- cool

Point 2 - cool

Point 3 - haha, cool, and I would do the same. Our friendship makes sense.

Point 4 - *eats cookie*

[Loslote]

Deadline is perfect for me as is, but then, I'm insanely flexible, and can probaly make almost anything work. :)

[the phantom]

I'm a huge fan of the deadline being 1-3 AM EST, so the proposed 2 AM EST deadline is absolutely fine with me.

I also had an extremely important question that I thought of earlier this evening when I was away from home, and now I can't remember it. *slaps head* I really hope I remember, because I seem to recall thinking that, if the answer went a certain direction, it would literally change the entire game. My excuse for not being able to remember something so huge? I'm tired. Very very tired.

[Folwren]

This is pretty exciting. I was hoping that Nogrod and Lommy could both play, but it's cool that Greenie got aboard. Nog, I'd love it if you could play.

So....I take it we're beginning later today? Sounds cool. This could be very interesting. I'm kind of intimidated.

[satansaloser2005]

*bounces* I concur. I'm all up for starting! :D

[Inziladun]

Any DL after midnight EDT is going to mean me voting a few hours before, but it's not a big deal.

[Rikae]

Considering I agreed with you on all accounts (and I'm sure most of us here did) and because I love you and definitely want you in my game, you're in!!

Awww! <3 Thank you!

[Eönwë]

2am EST = 7am my time? No problem but be aware I'll be voting pretty early with that deadline, like 11pm my time. :)

What Kath said. Though because I'm on holiday I'll be up 'til later.

[the phantom]

Just so I'm perfectly clear here- who is allowed to reveal? No one?

[satansaloser2005]

Just so I'm perfectly clear here- who is allowed to reveal? No one?

No uncloaking, Phantom, dear. Just so that's perfectly clear.

I'll second his question though.

[Glirdan]

Just so we're perfrectly clear: Lovers are the only ones who are NOT allowed to reveal their true role (at least that's all I can see after being awake for about five minutes :rolleyes:). False revealments will be allowed....maybe...I don't know right at this current moment.

ALSO. I totally forgot about this earlier. THERE WILL BE NO DOUBLE LYNCHES WHATSOEVER. If there is a tie, it will be the last person to have recieved the vote (and yes, I will accept a vote at the DL).

[the phantom]

So everyone can reveal aside from the lovers? All right then- supposing on the first day I pipe up and say, "Everyone reveal who you are." Everyone aside from the lovers reveals. Bang, we instantly know who three wolves and their three lovers are, not to mention that Ares would have no choice but to reveal as a role filled by someone else, meaning that we would have our choice in Ares narrowed down to two individuals.

The only way to avoid this would be for all three lover-wolves and their lovers to reveal as other roles, but again that would still narrow our choices down considerably, and perhaps based upon gender and logical pairings etc we could make a better than 50/50 guess at who was lying.

And of course everyone with an uncontested role would be entirely trusted at that point, and know better how to use their gifts. Is my scenario ignoring some obvious fact? I haven't had very much time to examine the mechanics or village make-up, so possibly I'm way off base?

[satansaloser2005]

Yup, Phantom's back. :Merisu:

[Glirdan]

He definitely is....

In other words, I'm not even going to touch that one.

EDIT: Group consensus say 2am EST, so that is what it shall be! :D That means if there are any last minute singups, do it now as you have 9 hours before opening narration goes up and Night 1 begins!

[Eönwë]

Just so we're perfrectly clear: Lovers are the only ones who are NOT allowed to reveal their true role (at least that's all I can see after being awake for about five minutes :rolleyes:).

By true role do you mean Lover, or does it also include Wolf if they are one?

[Glirdan]

By true role do you mean Lover, or does it also include Wolf if they are one?

Lover and Wolf. And as phantom so nicely put it, obviously this SHOULD apply to everyone. However, if someone reveals or false reveals, I'm not stopping it. Makes it more fun! ;) :p

EDIT: Also forgot to mention the, Sherrif's are also NOT ALLOWED to reveal. Okay, I think we're covered

[Glirdan]

Just a quick note:

I will be sending you your roles within the next few hours so keep an eye out and please keep your inbox empty! So, when I said 2am for signups, I lied. Oops, I forgot that I had to send you all your roles.

Second note, even though you are all veterans, I'll make a reminder: please put yourself to invisible between now and the next 7 hours.

Third note: I may be a TEENSY bit late with the opening narrations. However, seeing as it IS Night 1 and there will be no deaths, I will NOT extend the Night 1.

Now, due to the fact that I will be sending you your roles....

THIS THREAD IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR SIGNUPS

This thread will now only be used for those playing in the game and myself. Please notify everyone here of any absenteeism and RL type discussions. Also, if you need any clarification on any roles or rules or have any questions, please SEND ME A MESSAGE. Due to the fact that everyone has a role in this game, I would like to make things less obvious for people when there are role clarifications (also thus eliminating a bit of meta-reasoning from the game). Good luck to all players! :D

[Glirdan]

Roles have just been randomly selected and I will be sending them out to you shortly.

[Glirdan]

Please respond once you have received your role.

Oh, and I'm changing the Unicorn role slightly as well.

[Glirdan]

Roles are all sent out!!

[Glirdan]

So a player sent me a message bringing up some excellent points that hadn't occured to me until earlier...at which point I was running out my door so I will adress them both now.

For the Lovers who need to find their partner: Night 1 will NOT count as a Night for you to guess as there will have been no posts from the other players for you to guess from. Night 2 will be your Night to start guessing.

The other thing that was asked was about the Seer and False Seer and whether or not I was going to reveal them as such or if I was just going to reveal them as Seer. I've been thinking about this for a little while. Now, I know there will be some biases if I were to ask what you all thought (especially now since you all have your roles :p ;) ) so this will be an executive decision that I will make within the next hour and a half. Both has it's pros and cons for each side. I'm leaning more towards one right now...but I will give it some thought before deciding.

As it stands, one hour and thirty one minutes until opening naration and the start of Night 1. If there are any more questions, don't hesitate to ask! :)

[Glirdan]

Mind made up. Seeing as the village has a pretty decently hefty advantage on the Wolves, I am NOT going to reveal the True Seer until the end.

Oh, and game thread is up! :D

[Glirdan]

There are still a few people I have not heard back from on whether or not they've received their roles. If you are one of those people, be sure to send me a message to let me know.

[Nogrod]

I need to say this in time... I got into the game with a questionmark and I will have more or less problems getting online from the coming Saturday to Wednesday. So I might need your swords, bows and axes. :D

But I'll try to get online even on those days if alive and after our trip I'll be back with all I have. Just to let you know in advance.

[Glirdan]

Just so we're clear, there is ONE ordo role as there are 20 players and only 19 roles

[Glirdan]

Something I forgot to change that I was thinking about in bed last night in reference to the Mythomane:

He/she will choose on Night 2 and transform Day 2, not Day 3.

[Eönwë]

Dionysus – God of Wine – Dionysus is the Cursed. If the Wolves choose to Night kill him, he will join their ranks. Only the player and I will know that they are Dionysus. I will not reveal the Cursed until the end of the game.

So then will xe be revealed as the Ordo?

[Glirdan]

So then will xe be revealed as the Ordo?

Yes

EDIT: Further clarification:

If the Wolf Lover dies, the non-Wolf Lover's allegiance will change to the Villagers for a win with them.

[Glirdan]

Just a quick favor from everyone:

All those who are PMing amongst yourselves, if you wouldn't mind saving some of your Messages to each other and posting them at the end of the game, that would be great! As the Mod God (sorry, had to use it once :D ) I wouldn't mind seeing what was going on during the Night's and such.

I myself will be posting a few things post-game (ie: Hunter and Ranger picks, Seers, other such things) along with the way the roles were distributed for there is a little bit of humor that I found in it that I wouldn't mind sharing. This also means that there will be no IMMEADIATE post-game discussion until I have posted everything I need to (ie: I will inform you when you can all post again).

So, this favor mainly applies to the Wolves, Lovers, Shirrifs and Hunter/Hunting Guardian. If you don't feel like doing so, I have no problem. Just a favor.

Sincerely,
Glirdymod

PS: I LOVE being the mod for this right now!! :D

[Glirdan]

Eros: Will NOT be able to guard himself (as he is also part Hunter)

Pah: WILL be able to guard himself but may only do so once.

[Glirdan]

The Mod God will be stepping away for a bit of time. Any questions you may have, send me a PM or leave them here or in the game thread (if you're doing the latter, do it in a way that you won't reveal your role!). I will get back to them as soon as I get home. For now, I need to stop staring at this screen for a time. Be back soon.

[wilwarin538]

Out of all the different Glirdys, Glirdymod is my favourite. Hehe

*goes back to work....will be back for real in 3.5 hours *

[Inziladun]

If the Cursed is turned, will that be indicated somehow?

[Glirdan]

If the Cursed is turned, will that be indicated somehow?

I will inform you in the narration somehow.

[Eönwë]

Eros: Will NOT be able to guard himself (as he is also part Hunter)
But can he save the same person twice in a row?

[Glirdan]

But can he save the same person twice in a row?

No, and that will apply to both Eros and Pan.

[Glirdan]

Considering the amount of people in this game, there will be NO retractions.

[Glirdan]

Wow.....8 pages on Day 1....I have NEVER seen that happen since I've been around

[Glirdan]

Just so everyone knows, I may NOT be around for DL!! I'm crossing my fingers that I will be, but there is the chance that it won't happen. I will see if I can find somebody to post who died for me if this should happen. If I cannot, and I am not back on time, please HOLD OFF FROM POSTING UNTIL I GET BACK. I will re-adjust everything accordingly if need be!

Sincerely,
Glirdanmod

[Glirdan]

Okay, so quick run down of what will happen for toDay.

Seeing as I was half an hour late with the posting of the death, the day will go till 2:30am.

The Night, however, will lose that half hour so as to get back on track with everything.

Therefore, at the end of Night 3, the DL will still be 2am Eastern Standard! That means, Wolves, Seer, Lover, Ranger(s) and Hunter(s) (the last two depending on whether or not Eros is lynched or killed) will have to have their messages to me by 2am Eastern Standard.

As for an explanation as to why I was late; I took a midnight swim with a couple of friends and ended up being a little later then I expected (I actually was thinking I would be home on time for DL but apparently I was wrong :rolleyes:).

This MAY (not the swimming bit, but the being late bit) end up happening again depending on circumstances!! Please be sure to keep updated with this thread to keep on top of who's missing and what not!!

You are all playing admirably and I would like to thank each and every one of you for participating!!

Much love,
Glirdanmod

[Glirdan]

Narration is now up

[Glirdan]

Sally, in regards to your question about the Mythomane choosing the False Seer:

I had a debate with myself before the game started on what I was going to do if that did end up happening...so I flipped a coin. In other words, if the mythomane chose the False Seer, xe will be a False Seer.

[satansaloser2005]

Really? Really?

(Aka I fell asleep at my computer last night. I'm sorry.)

[Glirdan]

Really? Really?

(Aka I fell asleep at my computer last night. I'm sorry.)

Okies, but you were not the only one who did not vote last *coughMIRAcoughFOLEYcough*

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

Sorryyyyyyy! There was an impromptu Skype session with the sis involved right before I passed the heck out considerably before DL.

[Nogrod]

So as I said earlier, I'm on a trip until Wednesday. I'm not sure if I can get online as I'm going to be in the countryside. But I'll try to come up with something so that I could at least avoid modfiring.

[Folwren]

Okies, but you were not the only one who did not vote last *coughMIRAcoughFOLEYcough*

Eh...yeah, sorry about that. I didn't get back to the computer as I thought I would. :( But I'm back now, and liable to participate fairly well henceforward. Yay!

[A Little Green]

Just to inform you guys that I'll have to vote ridiculously early on Day 4 = today (and I really mean ridiculously early) and I will, unfortunately, miss Day 5 entirely. After that, if I'm still alive, I can participate normally again. Sorry about that.

[wilwarin538]

That means, bye bye to you too Wilwa, serves you right....witch!

You're such a big meany. :p

*snuggles*

[Macalaure]

I'm afraid I'll have to let you know that I'm dropping out of the game. Something unforeseen came up and I can't play anymore. Sorry. :(

I was Heracles, by the way, so you don't have to wait til Glirdan reveals my role.

[satansaloser2005]

I'm afraid I'll have to let you know that I'm dropping out of the game. Something unforeseen came up and I can't play anymore. Sorry. :(

I was Heracles, by the way, so you don't have to wait til Glirdan reveals my role.

*hugs you* Hope everything is right with you, Auntie Rikae, and your gaggle of wereducklings. Hope to see you in another game soon?

[Inziladun]

Starting today, I'll be out of town for a few days, and my net access will be highly limited. I'll do my best to vote on Day 5, but I can't promise more than that. I should be back in time for Day 6.

[Glirdan]

Okay!!

I am finally caught up with all my narrations so you can all go take a gander at them now if you would like.

Just a reminder that the day will be starting at 1:45am Eastern Standard and will be ending at regular time. You all get an extra fifteen minutes toDay.

[satansaloser2005]

Blargh. I thought I'd be able to stay up until DL but I need to sleep. *is lame* I'll be around come mid-Day, hopefully a bit sooner. Until then, sleep well, everyone! :)

[Keeper of Dol Guldur]

I am a massive fail at this game and I apologize. Currently at la casa de Fea, who will probably (hopefully) remind me that I actually have a game to be playing amidst cleaning, baking, snuggling, and hopefully shooting large rodents with guns.

This boils down to participation is going to be awful again today.

[Lalaith]

I am off on a 12 hour road trip...I have been assured that there is wireless at my destination but if this screws up somehow I´ll have to post/vote using the internet on my phone. In which case, my participation won´t be more than a post or two.

[Glirdan]

Hey, so quick update about something.

If anybody noticed the Night that Zil and Greenie were killed, i ROYALLY messed up Athena's role.

Now, in order to make up for that, I am granting Athena ONE EXTRA VOTE FOR TODAY ONLY!

If anybody has qualms about this, they can take it up with me in private. However, it is the ONLY way that I can think of to make up for screwing up a role I had came up with and keeping things semi-fair.

Sorry, I thought I would post this sooner, but I haven't been able to get to a computer for more then like two minutes until now (had some errands to get done and was getting my tattoo added to).

~ Glirdymod ~

[Glirdan]

SCRAP THAT LAST MESSAGE!!!

Apparently I'm deluded this week and didn't screw up whatsoever, therefore, Athena will NOT be getting an extra vote.

~ Glirdymod ~

PS: Thanks to my bestie Wilwa and other players for pointing that out. I am totally off my rocker this week....

[Folwren]

Okay, I have only a second to be on. Due to no current internet access at my own house, and a busy day here at my folks's place, I haven't been able to participate.

So, with no further ado, and crossing my fingers in hopes of catching a wolf --

++ Shasta

[Folwren]

That's embarassingly hilarious.

My vote is that the above vote doesn't count.

[Folwren]

If you'd like to know, here's what happened:

We had gone to the river to have a picnic yesterday evening for dinner. On the drive back, it became evident to me that I would be dropped off at my house and would have no access to the internet at all. So, I scribbled down on a piece of paper the note I wanted my sister to post on the game thread so that she could vote for me. You have that there, above. But what I failed to tell her was which thread was the right one to post on. I meant to, but it slipped my mind, and she got the wrong thread.

So, whether it counts or no is Glirdan's call. It wasn't even me who posted it.

[Glirdan]

Noted Foley and will make exec decision by saying yes it will. It WAS before DL and because of your limited net access, I will count it.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

There was no real reason to vote for her, while there was very, very sound reason to vote for Shasta.

If that was a 'very, very sound reason' then I'm a dolphin. :rolleyes: Wut happend wuz, Phantom was sheeped as per usual on shaky reasoning, but whatever.

*waits for the gloating to commence*

[Folwren]

If that was a 'very, very sound reason' then I'm a dolphin. :rolleyes: Wut happend wuz, Phantom was sheeped as per usual on shaky reasoning, but whatever.

*waits for the gloating to commence*

We wouldn't gloat over you, Shasta. That'd be mean.

Why wasn't it sound reasoning, though?

[satansaloser2005]

*is an impatient child, pokes Glirdan with a stick*

Are you dead? We don't want you dead. We want you alive (and putting up the narration)! :D

[the phantom]

The more you bug him the longer he'll wait.

Or at least that's what I'd do. But then I'm a jerk.

[satansaloser2005]

The more you bug him the longer he'll wait.

Or at least that's what I'd do. But then I'm a jerk.

Yes, yes you are, love.

Well I'm not impatient so much as slightly concerned. I know he said he had a migraine and I really just want to know if he's feeling better.

But yeah, the narration too. :rolleyes:

*snuggles her Glirdanpie* ^_^

[Inziladun]

*crickets*

Anyone heard from Glirdan? I hope he's all right. :(

[satansaloser2005]

*crickets*

Anyone heard from Glirdan? I hope he's all right. :(

*stomps the crickets*

Spoke to Master Glirdan on facebook and he's still alive. He's just been busy, etc.

He'll be along before too long, I'm sure. ^_^

[the phantom]

You know what would be mean? If Glirdan has decided that he will absolutely not end the game unless we can manage to go 4 hours without bugging him on the Downs or Facebook.

Did I say "mean"? I meant "funny".

Oh, wait.

Good, I am glad to hear that. I was worried. His mention of a 15 hour migraine sounded horrible. :eek:

[Glirdan]

Hey everyone, sorry I've been away. As I've said before, some RL stuff has been getting in the way. No it's not all sorted, but you know, I've got to finish this off now....or be cruel and keep you all waiting :p

...........


...........



...........


Tough crowd, tough crowd. Nah, I'm not that mean. I'm getting most of the narrations done as we speak (aka, I'm catching up on the narrations I HAVEN'T done, before posting the final narrations). So for your enjoyment, I currently have now done Kath's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636238&postcount=1094) and Nienna's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636275&postcount=1096)

I'll let you all know as I go through them.


PS: That migraine Foley was the worst head pounding pain I have ever experienced and never want to go through it again as I woke up yesterday with my head still aching.

[Glirdan]

Shasta's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636433&postcount=1176), Lalaith's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636526&postcount=1199) and phantom's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636564&postcount=1200) narrations are all done. I will have Foley's and the closing narrations done later tonight before I go to bed.

[Folwren]

woah...what was your Freudian slip that caused the narration concerning Kath?

I can't wait for my own death narration.

I'm sorry your migraine was so awful. I have never had one, but my sister and Mom get them on occasion. :(

[Rikae]

Shasta's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636433&postcount=1176), Lalaith's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636526&postcount=1199) and phantom's (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=636564&postcount=1200) narrations are all done. I will have Foley's and the closing narrations done later tonight before I go to bed.

Yay! :D

[satansaloser2005]

I wanted you to set him on fire. :(

:p


ETA: This obviously in relation to Phantom, considering that you did set Shasta on fire. ;)

[wilwarin538]

woah...what was your Freudian slip that caused the narration concerning Kath?



I told the story a while back on the "I met a fellow BDer thread", but I'll explain it here too. :D Kath came to visit Glirdy and me this summer and they were both over at my house. Kath had made this little boat and a claw out of paper and she was grabbing the boat with the claw and making noises and saying stuff like "Mwahaha, there goes the Titanic" and pretending to sink it and stuff. Then Glirdy was like "Hey, so it was a giant claw that sunk the Titanic, not the ice cream!".

Haha. He was tired. It was terribly amusing. :D

[Glirdan]

Needless to say, it was the best Freudian slip I've ever had made all of us die a little bit due to the laughter that ensued. :D

By the by, I'm on my way to go write the FINAL narration and will be posting some little tidbits of stuff that I was collecting as the game progressed.

PLEASE DO NOT POST UNTIL I GIVE THE OKAY!! Thanks guys!

[Glirdan]

You all have the okay!

I said it on the game thread and I'll say it here, thanks for a great game!! :D
