Lalaith, if one Lover dies, so will the other. Tragic, but inevitable.

Am I correct that if I'm counted in we have too many females and too few males?

I didn't realize we were choosing occupations already. I'll be a witch.

Ah, thank you Lhuna. As you can see, I really *do* need that precis of the rules.

I'll be the rich young widow.
(Who danced her elderly spouse into an early grave)
Lommy, I think if you're in it'll be eleven-a-side. Twenty-two players, biggest game evah... :eek:
Of course it's all up to Mighty Mod Nilp.

But if we're having eleven males, we surely have to have eleven females as well! So if I'm not in, the last male signed in is not either.

Heavens, that is a big game! Are we having double lynchings? (It might not be a bad idea with such a large cast.)

Well yes Lommy, I would have thought your addition would be welcome rather than not.

:)

We actually must have double lynchings, but it's up to ModGodNilp.

What special roles except lovers are we having?

I second that.

I second that, but then again...

...I second that, too.


Wow, I have no own opinions today. As to my occupation, I'll be a laundress.


tar-ancalime, this is what Nilp said about double lynchings:

Why?

I'm going to vote for the 5:30am timeframe. Reason being: I'm just not going to be up for either, but with my night owl lifestyle I'll be able to vote later with the earlier time. Fuzzy logic, but what the hey!

As for an occupation. Hmmm, always the best but most difficult bit of WW. However, after much consideration I shall be the town bank manager. I'm a ruthless power-monger who is desperate to get to the bright lights and financial glory of Minas Tirith. My life philosophy is the good old 'Greed is good!'

Notes:
 

~ I added Lommy in. I've invited her yesterday but forgot to put her name on the first list. (Sorry!) Here's the edited list

~ Double-lynchings are back in (due to village size; this might take long if I don't.) Triple-lynches and higher are not.

~ Erm, Samwise, Minas Tirith (1st or 2nd) hasn't existed yet. You can be a plain bank manager (note italics) if you like.

~ Precis of rules tomorrow! Vzv I still need everyone's opinion on the other roles (Hunter, Ranger, etc.) and on the times.

I was hoping nobody would notice that, Nilp! Curse your eagle eyes! Well maybe I am just a Bank Manager, but I'm still ambitious. Oh yeah.

Cailín dear, you exaggerate my evil ways. I've been a wolf 3 times and a wonderful and brave tragic hero once. Overall I've struck a decent balance between the two sides.

The timeframe of the game does not bother me in the slightest, so I'll vote for whichever one Lhuna chose. :D

And if I may resurrect my favourite ever role (the role which famously got me lynched on the first day of Fea's game) I will be the Royal Musician. Who is our reigning monarch?

8:30 is better for me, because then some days, I might be able to be online in the last critical minutes.

Spawn, I thought we must have double-lynchings because otherwise the game will never end (is that a good or a bad thing, that can be argued) and I also thought that the wolves don't have any chances if it's not possible to kill to innocents at one time. But now I've learned that we have four wolves, so it's not that important point anymore.

I would like to see a ranger in the game, but I can play without one. Hunter is all the same for me.

And my profession will be something less noble than most of yours... Hmm.... I will be a mushroom-picker.

I shall be the Small, Sweet, Sheep Shearer!:D

I think we should at least have one Ranger!

I will vote for the 5:30 time, as this is like 11:30 pm my time, the other is at 2:30am my time so it would make it hard for me to stay awake for the vote.

Lord Nilpaurion from the House of Daga?

And Nilp I think it's better that the mod isn't invisible, so that the if there are some problems the players can immediately see if we can contact you or not. Or, we may be able to use the Lhuna-line, of course.

With either time slot I will have to vote pretty early, but in that case either is fine.

As for occupation, hmm, I liked being a turtle farmer.

Oh yes, occupations.

I shall be the town gossip, if that's all right. It would definitely suit me. :o

I think (I'm probably wrong on this because my time zone differences are still rather rusty) that 5:30am is probably better for me. Anyone in the Eastern Time zone to verify that? :o

Eastern Standard Time is GMT - 5.

So the 5:30 AM time corresponds to 12:30 AM EST, and 8:00 AM to 3:00 AM EST.

Ok, thanks Jenny. Yeah, let's go with 5:30am.

My vote is to keep the ranger and hunter. Village is big enough that it doesn't tip the gifted ratio too much. Plus, with the new secret team, I think the village needs all the help it can get.

The times really don't make that much difference to me being that I'll probably have to be asleep at voting time with either option. However, since there might be times when I can make it to the deadline with the 5:30 AM option, I'll vote for it.

Having gone back through the thread with a more studious eye after my second post on this game was wrong- I was talking about the concept of Minas Tirith, like a dream, you know? You've seen Gladiator, you know what I mean!- and it is my considered position that Ranger and Hunter should be in there, defanayetelee! But answer me this: can the lovers win if their respective team wins, or does that count as a loss for them?

I agree with you about the Ranger and the Hunter, but I don't think that the village will need any help. I think the wolves are the ones that will be losing a huge advantage. Up until this game, the wolves have always known who was on there side(except for the cobbler), and so could assume that eveyone else was against them. This made it a unified three against a very quarrelsome 15ish. Now, it might be a quarrelsome four against a quarrelsome 18ish. Definitely puts them at a huge disadvantage.

Figures, the one game where I'd be able to quote Romeo and Juliet to my heart's content, I have to be too late to sign up for... Ay me! (:P)

And to Lalaith, I'm in agreement with Gurthang, most Americans probably wouldn't say that "fortnight" is hilarious, but they probably don't know what it means either.

Abercrombie, I may be a banker bent on Middle-Earth financial domination, but I am a well read man, and I should count it an honour to quote some of the good stuff as often as possible on your behalf. Mind, if I'm going to get lynched for it your dream will die. Sorry. :p

Occupation
 

How's about warfareing stranger? Does that fit with our timeperiod?

I also vote for the Hunter and Ranger. We need our gallant warriors!

No, Eomer, I still don't forgive you. :p

An occupation, now. Hmm...I shall be a Dark Elf. Literally.

From the prophet of the Mod God:
 

Uuuhh...daga.

Tigilan mo nga...!

Enedwaith, Hunter and Ranger are in. I need time choices from the other players. Come on, apathetic ones, make a choice even for aesthetic purposes. I need a majority decision.

Lhuna: PLEASE vote 8:30!!!

Daga, tigil.

That's all.

'Yun na 'yon?

Hunter and Ranger in.

Double lynchings in, agree (for what it's worth).

I don't care regarding times, however being Eastern Standard, if it's 8 am GMT I will not be around for the last 3 hours of the Day and will have to vote before then each Day.

I'm a stone cutter. If you need a rationale for a stone cutter in Hildorien, I'll be happy to provide it .... if needed.

Is there anything I missed?

Oh and I definitely support double lynches, to speed things up...and Hunter and Ranger too please.

I'm also going to agree with double lynchings (against my better judgement mind you) and our Guardians.

I'm going to disagree with double lynchings. I would have agreed with mass lynchings, on the basis that if I were a villager with just one wolf left I'd want a way out, but I think that double lynchings are a shot in the foot. It doesn't look like my vote will matter anyway, but I just wanted to voice it.

Okay, I guess I'm one of those apathetic ones who's being asked to vote... :( Sorry, I have to say 5:30.

Ooh. I'll echo that. Limiting it to a double almost makes the villagers want to do one, but a mass lynching makes it almost less likely. And, if the wolves play it right, a mass lynching can actually be played for their advantage.

Double lynchings are horrible. Especially with all these gifteds. They all declare themselves as gifted and then the village just double-lynches its way to victory. Double lynchings remove a lot of fun from the game. The best way for fun is to have single lynchings and fewer gifteds.

Plus, everyone wants their own death. Who wants to share a death scene with someone else (barring the Hunter's death, of course)? We should all get a turn in the spotlight.

On second thought, I will go with my gut instinct and say no double lynchings. It really does take the fun out of the game. I mean come on!! There would be less paranoia and I know we all want paranoisa. :D

I'm back from my trip and (finally) recovered from my jet lag. It looks like this game is already pretty much underway, so instead of participating, I'll read along and look forward to the next one. This one looks really cool. I can't wait to see what turns up. Lovers is a really interesting twist!

In other words, watch out for me in a couple of weeks.

Unless, that is, there is room for me, in which case I'd love to join in! :) I am a female, which I hope is obvious, if that makes any difference.
