Admin Thread for TIG LXIX: Meeting at the House of Usher
 

Whooooo back to WW! So this one time Lari and I are trying to watch Indiana Jones but I was yelled at to get a thread up so here I am getting a thread up.

Basically the game is going to be Poe-themed (as in Edgar Allan). (the title might change depending if I can come up with something better)

Just for kicks, here's a basic rundown of how this is going to go down (the more detailed version will come when I'm not watching Harrison Ford be awesome):

Theme: Poe (aka dark and depressing, lots of people dying and such)

Roles:
Seer - can dream of one person per Night, if obtains identities of Hunter and Ranger they can communicate during the Day phase only
Hunter - picks one person per Night phase. If the Hunter is killed at Night, the person they were hunting is killed as well. Can communicate with the Seer/Ranger if dreamed of.
Ranger - picks one person per Night to protect. They can protect the same person two Nights in a row, and can protect themselves. Can communicate with the Seer/Hunter if dreamed of.
Lover pair - two players on their own team. They can only win if both survive until the end. If one Lover is killed, the remaining one gets a revenge kill, which must be used within three Days of their counterpart's death.
Werebear - Is awesome. *ahem* The Werebear is on it's own team and gets to make one kill per Night. Must be the last one standing to win.
Cobbler - Not gifted, but wants the wolves to win.
Wolves - Get one kill per Night phase, get to communicate during the Night phase only.
ordos - want to kill the wolves and werebear so they can win.

Voting:
*votes must be in by deadline (:00 counts, :01 doesn't)
*must be highlighted
*can abstain from voting once, but must say that are doing so
*modfired if don't vote for two consecutive days without decent reason
*one retraction per day, three for the whole game

Deadline will probably around midnight EST but that's negotiable.

Since Nienna and I are co-modding this one, you can let either of us know if you're interested in playing. :)

Players:
Boro
Brinn
Fea
Greenie
Hakon
Inzil
Lari
Loslote
McCaber
Morsul
Nerwen
Nog (?)
Pitchwife
Roa
sally
Saucepan Man
wilwa

I saw in the other thread you were planning on putting up an admin thread... is it sad that I kept checking back every five minutes to see if it was up yet?:rolleyes:

I want in sounds AWESOME

question what if a were bear and werewolf are left?

Haha NO that is not sad AT ALL mainlybecauseidothesamethingcough.

If the werebear and a wolf are the last ones standing it all depends on who submits the kill choice first. The chances of that happening are pretty slim though.

True, just on the offchance

Put me down, if you would.
When are you looking to start?

Yay! We're going to hold off on starting for a little while (no more than a week) so a couple players that otherwise wouldn't be able to play might be able to.

Ah inzil we meet again!

That should work out better for me anyway, as this coming work week might be a bit unpredictable.

Indeed. A clean slate, and who knows how this one may fall?

Count me in seems to have become my catch phrase when joining werewolf games so uhh yea count me in. I am a Poe fan as in I have read a few of his works but not many. I do plan on reading more sometime soon once I weed through the 30 something books my dad has given me to read. They are all great books. I will shut up now.

Just call me "Anabelle Roa." I'm in.

You pretty much told us that Boro and Fea are probably going to be the lovers.

That deadline is workable for me. I find whenever the deadline is late at night I end up staying up a few hours past it. McCaber's game actually had the best deadline for me since it was in the middle of my day. That meant I was limited in the amount of time I could be on and it did not screw with my sleep.

I like that could I be "Morsul Duponte"?

Yay more people! Wecome, guys!

As for the Boro and Fea thing, they are the ones that I might potentially be holding the game for.

As for the deadline thing, there's no way that it'll be in the middle of the day. Both the mods are much too busy for that. Nighttime is negotiable because of work and such.

Count me in.

Official Co-Moddess Speaking
 

Fea you are playing. Just so you know :p

hehe and I like using titles :cool:

Count me in darlings will you? I was kind of planning to have a break from ww but this looks waaaaaaaay too tempting.

hehehe


POE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :D:D:D

K, I know I'm already on the list, but I just needed to make it official and tell you guys that you're totally my new fave people!

Gotta change my sig back to my old Poe quote....

*dies and is dead*

I so do not have time to play but....well, it's Poe. Also, I was already informed that I was playing so I suppose I don't have a choice. :p

Yaaaaaaaaaay we has a Nerwen, Greenie, and sally! Mira is happy. Nienna is too. :D

If no one screams to start before Friday, I'm in.

Yes I am happy.
 

Some things to clarify because I'm bored not doing my homework and feel like I should contribute something useful.

Highlighting looks like this!

and functions like [ highlight ] writing [ / highlight ] - just without the spaces


Voting should be made with a ++ and on a separate line (like a little island of voting as Fea puts it). It should look thus:

++Mira

I'm a bit OCD so voting this way will make me a very happy person.


Lovers are allowed to PM during the Day phase ONLY. I assume this goes the same for gifteds who can communicate but I'll have to check with Mira.


There will be NO Meta game anything so don't even try it. There will also be no clues or hints in the narration of any kind.

Also ask for any clarification of the roles on here before they are given out. After roles are assigned ask no more clarification publicly and instead PM your assigned Moddess. Or PM both of us, it matters not.

On that note we are stealing a page from Boro and Wilwa's co-modding and I'll have the good guys :D and Mira will have the bad guys :mad:. This just helps us keep our PM boxes open and keeps confusion from ensuing. :smokin:


Questions? Comments?

Edit: YAY BORO!!!!!!!!!!!

Which reminds me. No editing posts for anything other than cross-posting or typos. You must also put the reason why you edited so we know. Kthanks.

We will NOT be starting before Friday, as promised you toolbag. :p

Oh, and *dances/jumps up and down/parties/legit fist pumps* Happy now? :p

~~~~

Everything Nienna said is indeed true. Feel free to post any other questions for the time being, seeing as how we're going to keep the thread open a bit longer than usual.

You should have seen this coming....
 

• Do balrogs have wings?
• Where do hobbits come from? (I'll at least be clean. Lol.)
• How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
• How many roads must a man walk down?
• Why is the sky blue?
• What's 48,589,294 time 598?
• What is the speed of dark?
• Why do fools fall in love?
• Paper or plastic?
• Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
• What does Santa do if you don't celebrate Christmas?
• How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
• Inconceivable! Does that word mean what you think it means?
• Why can't a sonic screwdriver undo a deadlock seal? Could it do a livelock seal? Or a livestock seal? A seal of approval? The seal of the President? A harp seal?
• Why couldn't I think of better questions?
• Will you still let me play after this? :p

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. It's stress relief, really. *hides*

(Also, I will consider baking cookies for the person who actually answers all that.)

Sally: 42

Blame Ni.

I'm in.

:D

Nicely done, my friend. Which reminds me, Duck and I have been planning to make you and Brinn (and your friend, whatever her name may be) some cookies but haven't gotten around to it yet, so you'll probably get them with a rather late Halloween card in a couple weeks or so, I hope.



And yay Fea! :)

Hey now! I happen to be very helpful for anyone who needs a wrench. :p


*is satisfied*

Getting the consideration of having sally bake cookies...yum or killing a skwerl for answering all the questions and spamming? *weighs it*

Ok, don't consider it, but do bake the cookies, plus throw in a swifter sweeper and you have a deal.

Isn't that the meaning of life? :p

You, my dear, know the way to a Moddess's heart :D

*subliminally suggests Halloween care package*

*is staying on Task she promises*

...umm... is everyone good with a 12:00am EST deadline?

From Lovecraft to Poe... well... the house of Usher is doomed anyway. :eek:

Hmm... put me in with a questionmark.

I really wouldn't have time for this but if this doesn't start too soon I might be just too curious to go for it...

Why, do they cheat on each other that they're not together at night?

*Sits in corner quietly*... I said Sorry

What's that in GMT time? And I'm playing. :p

Um... well... I'm not really sure because everyone is going through daylight savings right now... Europe just changed and we change next sunday... so deadline from the time that this post is stamped is 4 hours and 16 mins :D

That's the best deadline ever!! It's quite perfect for me. :D

And I love the theme. :p

• Do balrogs have wings?
  They have shadows that are suspiciously in the shape of wings. Whether or not they function is still up for debate.
• Where do hobbits come from? (I'll at least be clean. Lol.)
  The grow out of the ground.
• How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
  Not that much. They actually have very poor dental plans.
• How many roads must a man walk down?
  As many as it takes to make it to the end of the world.
• Why is the sky blue?
  Because if it was green people would confuse it with the grass.
• What's 48,589,294 time 598?
  29,056,397,812
• What is the speed of dark?
  Duck times post office squared.
• Why do fools fall in love?
  Because natural selection hasn't kicked in quite yet.
• Paper or plastic?
  Jello.
• Which came first? The chicken or the egg?
  The pineapple which spawned everything.
• What does Santa do if you don't celebrate Christmas?
  Still sneaks into your house and tries to steal cookies and milk.
• How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
  More than any normal person would want to take to get to the center.
• Inconceivable! Does that word mean what you think it means?
  I do believe that it does.
• Why can't a sonic screwdriver undo a deadlock seal? Could it do a livelock seal? Or a livestock seal? A seal of approval? The seal of the President? A harp seal?
  Because it is not a deadlock screwdriver. It can, however, undo the lock on Sonic the Hedgehog's hut.
• Why couldn't I think of better questions?
  Because you're silly.
• Will you still let me play after this? :p
  Mmmm...we'll see how it goes. :p

Cookies, please. :D

The deadline will be rough, as I won't make it for the first half of the day, and probably won't be around for dl. I need to sleep, you know.

Oh, 12am EST is 4am GMT.

So something like 6am Finnish time? Wonderful. In other words, sing me in :D - but with a questionmark. I'm sort of getting symptoms of missing ww, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if I have time...

DL is perfect for me, and not starting til after friday is perfect for me.

and Poe is perfect for me :D

Hmm, I am not particularly familiar with Poe but I am hungry (like the wolf) for more WW games and I do like a game with a Werebear, so count me in. :)

I may be misunderstanding this, but doesn't this mean that circumstances can arise which can give the village a significant advantage?

It's not great for me, as it will I think be 5am for me by the time the game starts. But it appears to suit the majority, so I will just have to vote a little bit earlier than I normally would.
