Hehe that's terrible Jenny :D

Oh and Di, I'll be a Lemba baker....even if someone wants me to, I won't bake anything else just Lembas ;)

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-21-2006 05:08 AM

That's why I placed the other name in bold instead of that one. :D

Hmph. Copycat.

Be nice, doc.


I'll be very happy if this starts on Tuesday (that being a Night phase) since I won't be around on Monday.

Diamond18 10-22-2006 06:21 AM

I'll be happy if this starts on Tuesday, as I do not yet have enough players. :p

JennyHallu 10-22-2006 05:36 PM

I am SO thrilled someone got my little joke. Thank you Naria.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-22-2006 05:40 PM

I don't mind people making fun of me or teasing me, but I really dislike the feeling of not knowing what people are talking about. . .So could you please fill me in on the joke, otherwise it is going to haunt me for a long time.

Meneltarmacil 10-22-2006 08:12 PM

Actually, I may have something coming up around November 3rd, so I'm not sure I'll be able to participate. I'll fill you in when I get some more information.

Valier 10-22-2006 10:20 PM

Diamond could you posted an updated player list? Pretty please....with a cherry on top. :D

Diamond18 10-23-2006 01:03 AM

Lommy - Ostrich Chaser
Mac - Builder of Gibbets, unemployed for millennia
Kath - Flower Girl
Kitanna -
Jenny - Countess
Nogrod - a Smith of the Billmarins
Valier - Arranger
Menel - Mad Scientist

arcticstorm -
morm -
Lhuna - Beautiful Girl with Sleeping Sickness

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-23-2006 04:42 AM

Thanks Di and Naria for explaining the joke to me, I would never have figured it out on my own. . . (I hate when I don't know what is going on)

Nogrod 10-23-2006 07:51 AM

Would we have enough players for just three lover pairs -game? Or would that somehow lose the point in the game you have planned?

Macalaure 10-23-2006 08:48 AM

It seems it's either that, a miracle, or waiting til the weekend and hope Ang and/or Volo sign up.

I'm looking forward to a situation where two or more lover-pairs are still alive and there's only one innocent left... and then the lovers all kill each other at night and the village wins! :D

Diamond18 10-23-2006 09:06 AM

I know that both Ang and Volo want to play, but are unavailable. For Ang it's the 28th and Volo the 30th, I believe.

I suppose reducing the Lovers to three pair would work... I'd like to not have to to do that, though. Just as a personal preference. It's frustrating to get almost the amount of players I need and then get hung up on those last two or three spots.

Lhunardawen 10-24-2006 02:42 AM

Eep. How stupid of me. Forget what I said about the Tuesday thing. I'm perfectly fine with starting late to wait for the number of players we need. And, haha, what's a Lovers game without Anguirel?

Kath 10-24-2006 01:08 PM

Hey Rune, you could be the Humungous Fungus Grower! That has a nice ring to it.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-24-2006 04:40 PM

I will go with that. . . mostly because I trust Kath's judgment more than my own.

Fintaeph 10-24-2006 09:18 PM

I'm in. But then you already knew that.

...Anyway, we have 18 players, counting Menel and Morm who are "maybes." So, the game could start "any day now" if two more players sign up. Otherwise, I would say we're looking at waiting till next Tuesday, possibly. This is only if M&M play.

Is everyone who is currently signed up still able to play even if the game starts next week? And Menel and Morm, if the game were to start, say, tomorrow, would you be able to commit to playing?

Also, anyone without a role by the time the show gets up and chugging, will be given one by me.

mormegil 10-24-2006 09:48 PM

Count me in but due to current life situations I will be a bit less vocal than normal. I've said that before and it never happens but we'll see :rolleyes: :D

Valier 10-24-2006 11:54 PM

I'm still in even if it is later, but my hope is that it is sooner rather than later. ;) :)

Holbytlass 10-25-2006 01:28 PM

Ooh, goody Morm's playing.

Any date works for me. Heh-heh, I'm all for Diamond giving me my occupation-I love to live dangerously :p :D .

JennyHallu 10-25-2006 01:38 PM

I'm still in...but I probably won' be around the 28th or 29th, or much on the 27th depending. My mother-in-law is visiting.

Durelin 10-25-2006 07:56 PM

My 'role' shall be the...oh, what the Mordor - Lead Tragic Actor. :D

Meneltarmacil 10-25-2006 08:03 PM

Count me in for the moment. Just be advised that I probably won't post at all on November 4th.

Diamond18 10-27-2006 08:22 AM

Important Announcement:

Game will start Saturday night at 9:30. It will start with a Day but roles will go out a few hours earlier to give the Lovers a chance for preliminary strategizing. If Ang shows up before Saturday morning around 7 AM (which is when the roles will be going out) then he's in. I tried PMing him but his box is full. If he doesn't show up, I'm going ahead with 18 players and 4 teams. We'll see how it works.

I'm going to be dodgy and say that while I know it's an "issue" and I don't want to discuss it, I will not promise either way what the gender combinations of Lovers paired up will or will not be. I will promise not to pair up those who would object to be paired with the same. (And, I know most of you pretty well, so I'm not polling). This isn't to say I AM going to pair those of the same gender. But if you're looking for an official stance either way, ha ha ha ha! You should know by now that I like to challenge my players. :p

No retractions.

Watcher and Ranger don't know each other.

Timestamp on this post is 9:22 AM October 27

I think that's all.

Kitanna 10-27-2006 08:35 AM

I might be gone for a good part of Day One, but it all depends on how much my band director loves us. I don't think there is going to be a problem, but I can't be 100% sure.

Lhunardawen 10-28-2006 12:38 AM

The game starts on Sunday morning for me, so the game will have begun before I get to read my role. There should be no problem, but just so you know. :)

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-28-2006 05:09 AM

I will probably be around when I get my role, but just have gone to bed when the actual game starts. . .

Unless I keep having problems falling asleep.

Diamond18 10-28-2006 08:09 AM

Alrighty, fair people of yon village, the Roles have been PM'ed.

If you didn't get a PM, you are an Ordo. Do not post here asking why you didn't get a PM or I will be mightily unpleased and will have to reassign all the roles.

And remember to turn yourself Invisible!

A few last minute things... there will be no mod fire from heaven. If someone isn't posting or voting, you guys have to take care of them. If you have other questions about the roles/rules I'd prefer you PM me, as asking certain questions could give away hints about your own role.

Here's the player list, those without character roles have 12 more hours to choose or I will be assigning. (Holby, note I have given you yours already)

Lommy - Ostrich Chaser
Mac - Builder of Gibbets, unemployed for millennia
Kath - Flower Girl
Kitanna -
Jenny - Countess
Nogrod - a Smith of the Billmarins
Valier - Arranger
Menel - Mad Scientist
Holby - Oliphaunt Whisperer
Durelin - Lead Tragic Actor
arcticstorm -
morm - City Street Cleaner
Lhuna - Beautiful Girl with Sleeping Sickness
Rune - Humungous Fungus Grower
Naria - Lemba Baker
Farael - Patient suffering from Mad Elf Disease
Rikae -
Fintaeph -

mormegil 10-28-2006 11:10 AM

City street cleaner.

Meneltarmacil 10-28-2006 11:43 AM

I must say, we have a number of rather strange occupations in this village.

Fintaeph 10-28-2006 05:58 PM

So, I must choose an occupation, it seems. The village does seem short on food supply, so I will fill in the niche and be a Mutton-Herder. However, in my spare time, I am also an aspiring (read: not very successful) Purveyor of Fine-Quality Undead Prosthetic Limbs. So get out there and lose some limbs, people, I need customers!

Diamond18 10-28-2006 08:48 PM

Game thread is up.

the guy who be short is my co-mod for the game, he knows all the roles. If my PM box should get full, you can send kills/dreams/protection choices to him. He's mainly there as backup just in case, so don't bother him too much. :p

Volo 10-29-2006 02:53 PM

Sad to be one day late, rude word. Now I do have time to do other stuff then, but still, being discouraged by the Voice in My Head from playing WW, it might have been good to play again, or at the very least, try. :rolleyes:

So far great text, Diamond!

Diamond18 10-29-2006 10:12 PM

Thank you. :) And I'm sorry you missed it by one day, I had thought you weren't getting back till Tuesday otherwise I would have waited. :(

A note:

The one rule I forgot. :rolleyes: In the event of a tie, first to gather the majority dies. No double lynchings.

Kath 10-30-2006 05:36 AM

Argh! I'm so sorry, I saw that the game thread was up, read the first post, and then simply assumed we were starting with a Night phase. Getting brain in gear now. :rolleyes:

Farael 10-30-2006 10:20 AM

NOTICE: If I'm still alive by Tuesday, I'll have to vote very early.... around noon or so. Just thought i'd let you know.

Thinlómien 11-01-2006 05:14 AM

To inform you: I'm returning from Noggie's place to my home (my mother's place) today, and as quite many of the regular werewolfers know by now I don't have a net access there. (But I'm trying to do something to it.)

So, it means earlier votes for me, and this time, very early. The deadline happens to be around 5 am for me, so if I'm mainly posting during schooldays and after school, that will make my votes about 12 hours before the deadline. :eek: (I'll try to get online on Saturday evening before the libraries close their doors, but it will still be 7 hours before the deadline at the best...)

Holbytlass 11-03-2006 07:33 AM

About the edit button...
When one submits a reply and then immediately hits the edit button (for whatever reason), it doesn't register therefore there is no edit time, date at the bottom. I don't know the exact number of seconds that it does that.
Just to clarify, because I'm a dorkfish :p :D .
