A basic game with a few wolves and a few gifteds. With the setting of philosophers in the Middle-Earth it is a game of Minds - one Mind, two Minds, three Minds (etc.) over another. And nothing more than that. So no surprise roles, no extravaganza; nothing hidden - but the true identities of the other players which you will have to find out. And they will be told in each narration.

The life's persistent secrets and the future of the Middle-Earth are at stake!

If we have a "full game" ready to roll before the New Year we can start - and we can employ a 36-hour D/N -cycle around the New Year to make sure everyone has a chance to party. Or it might be we just start after the New Year. It all depends on how fast the game will "fill up" and what you'd like to do.

A mod is a god, but at the same time in service of his players. So let me hear you.

On the occasion we have more people willing to join than the basic 15, it's okay, I just need to come up with more philosophers... ;)

On that occasion, I'd say I would add an additional wolf on 18 players - and possibly a cobbler on 20. We'll need to see about that.


The players:

Eomer of the Rohirrim - An associate of Ossë, speciality: lochs and ponds, great alliance with frogs
elronds_daughter - A spirit of no-nonsense
Macalaure - Carmótar, the Maia of housework
Shastanis Althreduin - A spirit of water
Loslote - A spirit of sunshine and rainbows
Kitanna - A spirit of all things unimaginative
wilwarin538 - Belongs to Vána, cares for all the small garden dwelling, winged creatures
Nessa Telrunya - The patron of town criers across the world
Pitchwife - Tender of Oromë's dogs
Satansaloser2005 - A spirit of ducks, muffins and cookies
Inziladun - A vassal of Námo, serving as a warden in Mandos
Rikae - A spirit in charge of silicon & static electricity
Boromir88 - A Maia of Mandos, the interpretter of dreams
A Little Green - A spirit in charge of aliens, hummingbirds and farming
Blind Guardian -A spirit of evil ways
Skip Spence - A follower of Aule with an avid interest in behavioural sciences
Mänwe - A spirit of short acquintances
Valier - A handmaiden of Yavanna, collecting the morning dew from the petals of flowers
Legate of Amon Lanc - A Maia associated with the unfathomed depths of the world's seas but also with the waters surrounding Arda in the outer space...
Thinlómien - A maia who lives in Lórien and paints the dreams of those sleeping there
Aganzir - Aka. Firebeck, a spirit of fire
Ozban - Yavanna's underling with inferiority complex. Caretaker of undergrowth and small bushes in general, especially blackberries
Caílin - A spirit of secrecy
Kath - A spirit of nostalgy



The word is free as to any signings-up, comments, suggestions, questions...

The starting date is 1.1.11.
The DL will be 10PM GMT.
N1 and D1 will last 36 hours, after that we go back to normal 24-hour Nights&Days

Kitanna
12-21-2010, 06:29 PM
The DL works for me, but I will say now that I work almost every day at the DL and the seven-eight hours prior to it. So don't expect much from me close to the DL. (of course my days off are a different story)

Inziladun
12-21-2010, 08:21 PM
Put me down for it, good sir. Maybe I can do better this time than getting my ordo self killed by Berzerk Hunter Mac (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=15725) Night 2 in your last game. ;)

Nerwen
12-21-2010, 08:23 PM
When would this be starting, Nog? I'm going away in the New Year.

Shastanis Althreduin

Confirming myself. :)

Nessa Telrunya

I'm a North American fellow, but any time is fine for me. Just one thing about it though, what time is that in Eastern? :confused:

Loslote
12-22-2010, 02:29 PM
Not only am I confirmed, I am rather pleased by the DL. Not because it's particularly perfect time-wise or anything (although it could definitely be worse, and I should be able to make it most of the time), but because it's very easy to translate to my time, as I'm - 9 from GMT. :p

Thinlómien
12-23-2010, 10:42 AM
Could you put me down as a maybe? The later it starts the better for me. :)

satansaloser2005
12-23-2010, 02:28 PM
Oh why not? If you don't mind short posts, I'm in. :)

Valier
12-23-2010, 03:15 PM
(Lurking...)
Oh how I miss the days of WW. I might be able to find time if this starts after the new year. Also Im not sure what GMT time is for me so I'll need to check on that.

Aganzir
12-23-2010, 03:40 PM
Mmm this looks good. Put me down as maybe will you?

Nogrod
12-23-2010, 06:52 PM
Ha Valier! Long time no see! So great to see you back here! I'd love to have you in the game!

And hey, we could make this the game of psychics as Shasta has been your mantle-carrier after you've left... I could come up with some nice philosohers to suit you both...


On other thoughts, it looks like there are a number of people who say it would be good if the game only started after the New Year. So how is it with you who have already enlisted? Would an after New Year -starting date make it bad for you?

I might be happy with a later opening as that would give me more time to think about the narrational structure of the game...

I'd say that, if we have enough people to start between Christmas and New Year - and if most of the people who are in now would have to cancel their participation if the game starts only after the New Year - then we'll start between C and NY. That would be fair for those who enlisted early.

But if most of the people enlisted thus far feel it okay we start after the new Year - and thus we can bring in more people - then we'll go that way.

Your choice.


On a totally other matter: I'm facing a kind of a problem... I named the thread as the "Lost philosophers of Maiar" and my background thought was to make this a kind of game with existential philosophy (as I had used some logical & metaphysical head-banger -themes in an earlier game), but if the players, ie. you, are of Maiar, you should have no existential angst to begin with as you live eternally... Existentialism is a human way of looking at things.

But I think I'd be able to come up with something with that set-up as well.

So maybe Melkor managed to capture a bunch of the free Maiar in the early days of the Earth and do tests with them making their lives limited (or making them believe it) - for anticipating how the human race to be created would act?

That might do, actually.

As a working hypotheses, you might think what kind of Maia would you be in the game (for narrational purposes) - like what would be your speciality as a Maia. I'll try to attach a philosopher to everyone of you (possibly revealed in the narration) so that the result would be something combined...


Fun.

Is Valier psychic too? :smokin:

Nessa Telrunya
12-23-2010, 08:10 PM
I'm not particularly picky about when the game starts, so whatever the other players want is fine with me. :cool:

Nogrod
12-23-2010, 08:17 PM
Is Valier psychic too?She's the Ur-Psychic! The one whose eyes you might not be clean or pure enough to meet! :cool:

But yes, it is fun you would both be in this game as Valier was back then always thought of just knowing the wolves: and she really got it spectacularly right - and wrong (on some occasions)!

But yes, to people of my generation of werewolf-players Valier has always been the psychic number one.

A challenge then? :)

I'd love to see the opposing philophies which both counted on feeling the truth more than the rationality of discerning it - like Nietzche and Kierkegaard, or Montaigne and Rabelais...

Not making you any of them just to tease you... or who knows? :p

Nerwen
12-23-2010, 08:32 PM
In the interests of fair play, Nog, you'd better not put Shasta and Valier on the same team!:D

Nogrod
12-23-2010, 09:08 PM
In the interests of fair play, Nog, you'd better not put Shasta and Valier on the same team!:DSo you don't want to be a wolf against the two? :p

Let's see... well there is a temptation... :)

Heh, nice, but it will be pure shuffling of the cards in the end (I like them over dices).

Loslote
12-23-2010, 10:12 PM
As a working hypotheses, you might think what kind of Maia would you be in the game (for narrational purposes) - like what would be your speciality as a Maia.

I totally call sunshine and rainbows. :smokin:

Also, I'm available for starting whenever. :)

Eomer of the Rohirrim

I like this possible storyline. The lies of Melkor could lead even immortal beings to existential angst.

And obviously, Thales = Osse. :D

Every day is a potential werewolf day for me.

Pitchwife
12-24-2010, 08:32 AM
Starting between Christmas and New Year would have been just perfect for me, as I'll have lots of free time during the holidays, but I don't start working again until January 10th, and I think I'll have enough time to play even after that; so if starting after the New Year means we get more people on board, that's perfectly okay with me.

As for Maia identity, make me the tender of Orome's dogs.

satansaloser2005
12-24-2010, 10:40 AM
Also, I don't really care when we start. I"ll always have my phone, after all. ;)

However, I don't seem to be playing. Perhaps I'm only signed up in my head? :Merisu:

Nogrod
12-25-2010, 06:03 PM
Sorry Sally & Inzil... I must have forgotten to update the thread. It's done now. Welcome. Any others I have forgotten to add in? :(

Mänwe, Legate of Amon Lanc, Thinlómien and Valier, what date would be fine for you to begin? Prolonged D/N -cycle over the New Year, first Night during the New Year? Only starting after New Year?

I'd like to see the Christmas to pass before locking the game as I think many will not check the 'Downs during these few days.

Nogrod
12-25-2010, 06:14 PM
Eomer, are you ready to sport the possibility Ossë will die - or are you just so confident you will survive? :)

I was thinking about some Maiar unknown to the rest of the history just because there is a grave possibility many of them will die with the experiments. But it's your choice, of course...

(Heh, Thales would be a nice match, making a fortune before dying just for a show-off :D)


Everyone, come up with an occupation to a Maia the history won't tell us about - or pick a known one... whichever you find more fun to play.

Valier
12-26-2010, 02:11 PM
You guys made me actually laugh out loud with the psychic comments. Thanks:p I'm not so sure my skills will be as good as they use to, I found playing with a bunch of the same people makes it much easier to read them after awhile. Adding new players and my long absence from ww will make this one interesting for me. It is so nice to see old faces playing in this game.

I totally miss the heart pounding minutes right before a crucial vote, me as a wolf trying SOOOOO hard to sway the votes in my favor to win the game... nearly having a heartattack when it actually works, or just knowing someone is a wolf, but not being able to explain why I feel that way, as I bite my fingernails watching everyone think I'm therefore the wolf.....ahh the good ole days;)

This sounds like an interesting game premise Noggie, I'll have to take a bit of time to come up with an occupation though. As for starting date ummm anytime after Jan 4th is good for me, I've got company till then but other than that I'm good.

Nogrod
12-26-2010, 04:09 PM
As for starting date ummm anytime after Jan 4th is good for me, I've got company till then but other than that I'm good.I heard that Lommy and Legate would be more than fine with something around the same date... But as not to keep everyone waiting, we could begin the game around New Year, maybe taking a prolonged Night and Day there to begin with? Like Night1 starts with the New Year and lasts for 36 hours - and then D1 takes another 36 hours. From that we'd continue in a normal 24-hour cycles?

Unless a host of you who have already signed in feel your time will run short if we postpone the beginning to the New Year?

I'll try to come up with the game thread and a teaser on Monday or Tuesday...


PS. Hey Valier, don't be too modest! You were a freaking great wolf (I should remember that... :rolleyes:) but your ability to spot the wolves was more or less magical - at least it was against all the odds or probabilities. But like you say, new people around, new games, new times... so no pressure! ;)

Inziladun
12-26-2010, 05:29 PM
As an occupation, I think I'm a vassal of Námo, serving as a warden in Mandos.

Rikae
12-26-2010, 07:04 PM
Put me in charge of silicon & static electricity.

Eomer of the Rohirrim
12-27-2010, 04:48 AM
Eomer, are you ready to sport the possibility Ossë will die - or are you just so confident you will survive? :)

Ah, I see. Okay, I'll be an associate of Osse. My speciality will be lochs and ponds. I have a great alliance with frogs.

Nogrod
12-27-2010, 11:32 AM
The game thread with a "teaser-trailer" is on and can be found from here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=645279#post645279). The rules and stuff will be posted there hopefully tomorrow (I have lost electricity from my home so I can't do anything involving electrical instruments this evening at home). Unless strong protests appear we'll begin around New Year - with prolonged N1 & D1.

The "occupations" have been updated so far. Come up with them all you haven't done that thus far. It is not mandatory, but it might help me with the narrations (and you with the banter in the early stages of D1).

If we count all the "maybe's" as in, we'd now have 18 players. That would mean three gifteds (seer, ranger, hunter), three wolves and a cobbler. If we get to twenty I'll introduce a fourth wolf.

The question concerning this is the following: if we have four wolves, should they have double kills as long as they are four, or not? I'm initially against the double-Night-kills but will be persuaded if the majority thinks it a good idea.

Boromir88
12-27-2010, 11:58 AM
Lately I haven't had the ability and time to play the games as I'd like to, which is depressing as it feels like a big let down. However, if you need a fresh and able corpse Nog, sign me up, and I shall do my best. However, if you're already set at the player list, you can just pretend this post does not exist. :p

Eomer of the Rohirrim
12-27-2010, 12:34 PM
No double kills please!

Valier
12-27-2010, 08:37 PM
ummm how about for a occupation...a handmaiden of Yavanna, I collect the morning dew from the petals of flowers.

I also say no double kills!!:p

Rikae
12-27-2010, 09:47 PM
Yes to double kills, since I'm sure you'll make me a wolf...

Inziladun
12-27-2010, 10:04 PM
I'd be in favour of double-kills if we end up with more than twenty players, but otherwise, not. I think the Cobbler helps balance things out.

A Little Green
12-28-2010, 07:07 AM
Can't very well miss this, can I? Sign me up if there's still room! As for my field of expertise - I typed "little green" to Google image search for inspiration. Consequently I'll be in charge of aliens, hummingbirds and farming. :rolleyes:

Nogrod
12-28-2010, 09:56 AM
Good to see you Boro & Greenie! Welcome to the game!


About the starting of the game and deadlines then.

The deadline will be 10PM GMT/UTC (Midnight in Finland). That should be -5 hours to EST, aka. 5PM. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I suggest we start the game on the evening of the New Year's day with Night 1.

It would mean:

N1 starts on 1.1.11 (oh, I'd love to say it starts at 11PM! :D) at 10PM GMT/UTC and lasts for 36 hours.

D1 would then start on 3.1.11 at 10AM GMT/UTC and will last 36 hours as well.

N2 would start on 4.1.11 at 10PM GMT/UTC - lasting the normal 24 hours, like all the Nights and Days from that on.


Taking that as given, the deadline to join the game would be, let's say about 12 hours before the beginning of N1 so that I can make the lottery of roles and other last minute organising (like the beginning narration with the final personae).

So: the last possibility to join the game is on 1.1.11. - okay, here I can use it - at 11AM GMT/UTC!

Those who said "maybe" (Aganzir and Nerwen) should confirm their participation before that deadline.

Also I hope this timetable will make it good for you wishing for the "later start" people (Manwë, Lommy, Legate, Valier). So let me hear your confirmations as well (Valier seems to be in already, but you others...).


And everyone should send in their "speciality" as Maia.

"Rules and Regulations" have been posted to the game-thread. Please check them and post here your questions and comments about them - and notify me if a rule is missing.

Pitchwife
12-28-2010, 10:32 AM
If we end up with 20+ players, by all means throw in the double Night-kill! I loathe over-populated villages, whatever reduces them to reasonable numbers is fine.

Aganzir
12-28-2010, 01:28 PM
Yes to double kills, no confirmation yet (if I decide to start a huge painting project during the holiday I won't play but if I won't, I probably will). In any case, I'd like to be a spirit of fire. It's just appropriate, anyway - last time Nog modded, I was a little match girl, and before that I was the werewolf Flame. ;)

Blind Guardian
12-28-2010, 03:53 PM
Okay, I'll play. I don't know if i'd be able to vote at deadline though. Annddd If we get options, I follow Melkor. :Merisu:

Nessa Telrunya
12-28-2010, 07:08 PM
Oh, specialties! Can I be the patron of town criers across the world? That way, I can cause them to inconspicuously respawn when one dies?

Kitanna
12-28-2010, 11:40 PM
I'm not feeling creative enough to come up with an occupation. I throw myself at the mercy of Nog.

I say yes to double-kills if the village is large enough to handle it.

Shastanis Althreduin
12-29-2010, 12:28 AM
I vote yes to double-kills. Also, since Agan is a spirit of fire, I trust it won't be too much trouble to make me a spirit of water? :D

wilwarin538
12-29-2010, 08:27 AM
Well I don't want to be too obvious by just being the queen of all butterflies, haha, so.....I'll go with caring for all of the small, winged creatures that enjoy flowery areas (various little birds, dragonflies, ladybugs, etc). And flowers = Vána.

So, in short: belongs to Vána, cares for all the garden dwelling, winged creatures.

I'm good with any start date, and vote in favour of double kills. Can't wait to start! :D

Aganzir
12-29-2010, 08:28 AM
Also, since Agan is a spirit of fire, I trust it won't be too much trouble to make me a spirit of water?
As long as you aren't planning to cause me any trouble with that water.

And Nog, I want to be called Firebeck! :p :D

Nogrod
12-29-2010, 10:36 AM
Welcome Blind Guardian!

But you should really consider your explicit loyalties. Being known to follow Melkor will most probably get you lynched pretty soon, well on the first occasion there are no alternatives... like D1. :p

It's your choice to be sure.



Listening to the mood it looks like we should introduce double-kills; I'd say they come into the play with 21 or more players (if everyone now enlisted, also as "a maybe", will play we have exactly 21). But we'll see whether all the questionmarks will play - or whether some more join the game in the next few days...

Boromir88
12-29-2010, 01:45 PM
I shall be a Maia of Mandos, and orc-sympathizer. Proud Chair-person of the "Orcs have Spirits too" movement.

Nogrod
12-29-2010, 06:05 PM
Ohh Boro... sorry I have not revealed any further info yet (well I checked the actual timelines only today to be honest), but your request is impossible as there are no orcs yet when the game begins. It was a nice idea... :o


So let me state it here:

The game begins in the era where everyone is waiting for the Firstborn to emerge in the Middle-Earth. Yavanna and Oromë are roaming the M-E with some Maiar either accompanying them, or some of the Maiar being there more or less on their own, whatever their reason for being there is...

Melkor has heard about the dwarves through his spies but has not been able to locate the sleeping ones - therefore the idea of catching some of the Maiar dwelling in the M-E at the time... It is more or less Valian year 4500 when we begin the game (you have been captured around that time or a bit earlier).

So all of you players are Maiar who have never seen an elf, an orc... or a dwarf or a human to that matter. Things will start to pour outside your prison soon enough, but I'm afraid little of it will get to you wretched guys in the deepest recesses of Utumno... even if some of the great turns of history might affect you at least indirectly. :rolleyes:

Boromir88
12-30-2010, 01:23 AM
No worries Nog, I didn't take into consideration the timeframe you had in mind. In that case,

I shall still be a Maia of Mandos, the interpretter of dreams. :) (or would that put me in Vaire territory?)

skip spence
12-30-2010, 05:35 AM
Sorry if this has been specified already but when are you planning to start this?

I might join if the starting date is in a few days from now, preferably around Jan 1st.

Nerwen
12-30-2010, 07:39 AM
You'd better take me off the "maybe" list, Nog– I'm definitely not going to be able to play, much to my regret.:( Sorry not to let you know earlier, but it wasn't certain until today.

Nogrod
12-30-2010, 05:12 PM
I might join if the starting date is in a few days from now, preferably around Jan 1st.We're actually starting on your date of choice! So welcome Skip!

Sorry to see you can't make it Nerwen.


About 47 hours to the go!

Thinlómien
12-31-2010, 08:06 AM
Okay, confirming. I'm in. :D

And if that's not too much interfering on Boro's territory of dream-interpretation, I'll be a maia who lives in Lórien and paints the dreams of those sleeping there.

Legate of Amon Lanc
12-31-2010, 08:12 AM
You can make my sign-up confirmed as well.

And I see we have alredy several Maiar associated with water, but they are rather differently defined than what I had in mind, so I hope it won't be such a big deal to make me a Maia associated with the unfathomed depths of the world's seas but also with the waters surrounding Arda in the outer space...

skip spence
12-31-2010, 10:07 AM
We're actually starting on your date of choice! So welcome Skip!

Alright then!

Haven't read the rules nor the theme yet other than in passing and no time for that right now either but I'll be a follower of Aule with an avid interest in behavioural sciences.

Rikae
12-31-2010, 10:34 AM

Well, if my occupation didn't make it obvious, I am also a follower of Melkor. :p

Ozban

About my occupation, Yavanna's underling with inferiority complex. Caretaker of undergrowth and small bushes in general, especially blackberries.

May it be?

Kath
12-31-2010, 01:19 PM
So I'm nostalgic, and have an essay to write - which clearly means I need to sign up for a werewolf game that will take up all my time!

If you're still open Nog then I'm confirming. :)

Nogrod
01-01-2011, 04:54 AM
Okay. Sign-in is closed!

And welcoming the latest players: Ozban, Kath and Caílin!


So, we have a village of 24 players.

That means 4 wolves - with double-kills everyNight as long there are four of them.

And one Cobbler (with possibly an extra-ability*).


N1 begins in about 11 hours. Roles will be dealt and sent to you just before that.


And Happy New Year 2011!



* With 25 players we should actually have 5 wolves... but as we have just 24 - and I'm a bit reluctant to introduce such a horde of wolves into the game (think of the voting-power they'd have) - I will consider stengthening the cobbler a bit.

Eomer of the Rohirrim
01-01-2011, 12:48 PM
Okay. Sign-in is closed!

And welcoming the latest players: Ozban, Kath and Caílin!

She kept that quiet, like.

Edit: are we breaking a record for number of couples in this game? Why's Glirdan not playing?

Macalaure
01-01-2011, 03:12 PM
Oh, occupations...

I'll be Carmótar - the Maia of housework.

And, wow, this game has become huge! :eek:

Nogrod
01-01-2011, 04:10 PM
And, wow, this game has become huge! :eek:Indeed... :)



The Night 1 has begun, AND WILL LAST 36 HOURS.

Narration is up in the game thread and all the special roles have been sent.

I will still be sending you with no special role a confirmation PM that you are an ordo (I like to get one myself when playing).

If you have any questions, anyone, just PM me or post to this admin. thread.


Day 1 begins on 3.1. at 10AM! (After a 36-hour D1 we turn back into the normal 10PM deadline)

Enjoy the music of Utumno meanwhile!

Nogrod
01-02-2011, 02:00 PM
I have updated the player-list and given everyone "an occupation" marking you as "A spirit of X"; X being derived from your pre-game posts (or with Sally just because of, well Salliness :p).

If you're unhappy with your description, feel free to give a new one within the next 14 hours (before D1 begins).

That's nothing important though. Helps with the D1 starting banter - and I might use some of them with death-narrations if they sem to fit or there is room for them (other narrational aims don't override the use of them).

are we breaking a record for number of couples in this game?Heh, we probably are. What a great "stress test" for the relationships! :D


On other news...

The roles & rules have been updated and D1 is about to begin. Check the rules and inform me if there any rulings missing or if there are any confusions concerning either the rules or the roles.

To those interested in the music the Maiar have been unwillfully listening to, I may reveal that it has been from the St. Luke Passion by the polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki (N1: O crux ave and D1: In pulverem mortis).


Have fun!

It seems everyone except Manwë have read their role-PM's so you can count everyone as in and cognizant of the game having begun.

I realised Manwë said this already before Christmas: Well turns out i'll now be spending New Years in London and so won't be around the net from the 29th til the 5th, so count me out of any earlish starts!So a modfire will not threathen him unless he is away from the game two Days in a row after January the 5th. Also, he will be mod-protected against any attempt to his life up to the 5th as he has notified us about his time-table problems early enough.

As I promised in the game-thread, here are the ancient Greek thinkers Lommy, Greenie, Aganzir & Legate picked you to be from the deck of "Greek philosophers" cards (not all of them are actually philosophers, but who cares) for the purposes of role-lottery for me.

Eomer of the Rohirrim – Thales
elronds_daughter – Archimedes
Macalaure – Pythagoras
Shastanis Althreduin – Sapfo
Loslote – Pyrrhus of Epirus
Kitanna – Xenophon
wilwarin538 - Aesop
Nessa Telrunya – Diogenes
Pitchwife – Socrates
Satansaloser2005 – Aristophanes
Inziladun – Solon
Rikae – Pericles
Boromir88 - Plutarch
A Little Green – Alcibiades
Blind Guardian – Homer
Skip Spence – Epicurus
Mänwe – Plato
Valier – Bias of Priene
Legate of Amon Lanc – Parmenides
Thinlómien – Euripides
Aganzir – Heraclitus
Ozban – Herodotus
Cailín - Zeno
Kath - Aristotle

As said, there will be no relation between these picks and your actual roles, or any of these guys appearing in the narrations concerning any one of you (Sally clearly went down with the voice of Socrates toDay even if she was Aristophanes in the lottery and Pitchie was actually Socrates there).
:D

I'm sorry for missing the vote today, there was an unexpected emergency because of bad weather. Thankfully everyone's ok, but I just got home now.

Just thought of reminding you about basically a self-evident thing: the narrations have no clues to any player's roles in what they say or do there. They serve only narrational purposes and even if they might have in them some characteristics of people and their RL- / BD-relations, there are no hints to the player's roles.

The only exceptions are those where "the truth of the role" is revealed in the tally (like in the last one Kit being the Hunter indeed - and her reason to withdraw rather than hang around a few Days).


Hi Eonwë! I hope you do enjoy following this. We'll meet hopefully in another game...

Although the dead don't talk, this one is a little rebellious -

I really enjoyed the game, it was a good one. Thanks everyone and keep it up! Good luck village. ;)

PS. Love watching it all with a more enlightened perspective too. :smokin:

Edit: And I should I just delete that post?

I'm afraid that Cailin won't be able to post today as our house currently has no internet access.

I can get on the Downs at work, though email and fb are blocked. :smokin:
