Werewolf LXXXIV - Middle Earth in Fifteen Minutes
 
Hello and welcome to Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXXXIV - Middle Earth in Fifteen Minutes. While this game will be Tolkien-oriented, there will be a large (read: megamassive) element of parody, courtesy of the book Movies in Fifteen Minutes, copyright Cleolinda Jones. All scenes will be taken from said book and tweaked to fit the situations in which you'll find yourselves.

Rules - normal, standard rules apply.

Roles -

1 Seer - Galadriel.
1 Ranger - Aragorn.
1 Hunter - Legolas.

1 Heir - (explained below)

3(+) Wolves - actual wolves, not orcs or trolls or suchlike.

Depending on the number of signups I receive, I may add another wolf.

---------

The Heir - The Heir is a special role, randomly assigned to an ordo at the beginning of the game. The Heir will not be aware that he or she is the Heir. Regarding the Heir's function - the Heir is nothing more than an ordo until the first non-ordo dies. At that point, the Heir takes on whatever the non-ordo's role was - either becoming a Seer, Ranger, Hunter, or Wolf. In the narration where the Heir's power activates, the role of the deceased player will not be revealed.

DL is currently set to be 10 pm CST, but if this a problem for anyone please let me know as it's easily changeable on my end.

Any questions, feel free to ask. :)

Signups:
Wilwa
Lottie
Boro
Sally
She For Whom The Stars Shine
Elronhubbard
Eomer

I said I would take a break....but I changed my mind. :D

And your new role is brilliant, I wish I had thought of that!

Loslote 11-14-2010 07:36 PM

If this starts after the sixteenth (which, at this point, looks rather likely) then I'm in. :)

Shastanis Althreduin 11-14-2010 07:39 PM

It definitely won't start before the sixteenth. And Lottie, I adore your location. :D

Excellent; thank you!; and I forgot to mention that I love the 'heir' concept. :D

Boromir88 11-14-2010 07:47 PM

Wants in and wants this Heir. :D

satansaloser2005 11-14-2010 09:38 PM

It's times like this I remember why I love you so much. Cleolinda=<3.

Also, I'm totally in.

Nerwen 11-14-2010 09:56 PM

Count me in, as always, my king.

elronds_daughter 11-14-2010 10:09 PM

I would love to get in on this...

Welcome aboard! If you're new to the game, there's a sticky thread at the top of Middle-Earth Mirth that could be a big help. :)

Also, I'm the host of your first game so I get to nickname you. I'm thinking something along the lines of Rondi.

I like Elra, personally, but that's me. Of course if we don't use it I can just make a D&D character from it, so either way, really. ;)


Also, hello, fresh meat. Glad to see more people on board! :D

<sweeping bow> Whatever you wish, O Great One.
:P

It is my first game, but I've read all the rules, and I followed the last game pretty closely. This should be fun!

I like her. Can we keep her? :)

Eomer of the Rohirrim 11-15-2010 08:15 AM

I don't want to miss this. Sign me up, Shasta!

Two games in a row? This takes me back a few years. :eek: ;)

elronds_daughter 11-15-2010 09:38 AM

Sally, I like your nickname for me better. (Also I like your idea for it if Shasta's a meanie about letting us use it.)

Eomer of the Rohirrim 11-15-2010 10:17 AM

It's a wonder more people don't call you Arwen. :p

If I recall, way back when (when I was actually really active here...I remember when this game started, if that gives you any idea how long ago that was), I started going by "eddy" just as an abbreviation...not sure I want to revert to that. But I made a point that I was Elrond's other daughter. I have never been Arwen. :P

satansaloser2005 11-15-2010 10:53 AM

All those in favor of Eddy/Eddie say "WOLF!"

:Merisu:

Heh. I am, of course, teasing you. I vote that we call you whatever you like (that makes sense, of course, or else we could end up with another me=Stan thing :rolleyes:). :)

Of course. I was merely playing along. :) (o.O ...you were Stan? Gracious.)

I did like Elra better than Rondi (sorry, O Great One), mostly because the latter sounds too much like Rhonda, which is a name I've never really liked.

Shastanis Althreduin 11-15-2010 02:45 PM

I think I'm just going to call you Elronhubbard and have done.

Oh gracious. I think I have brought down wrath on my head.

A Little Green 11-15-2010 03:07 PM

Screw school, I'm in. Sign me up, son. :cool:

I like her. She's fun. I vote her for Best Newbie Appearence since...erm...well, for a while. :p

++Elra for name

Awww, thanks Lottie!

EDIT: And Sally. :)

satansaloser2005 11-15-2010 04:25 PM

Seconding my beloved Pop. We likes her, precious, we likes her very much. :)

EDIT: x'd with Elra

Inziladun 11-19-2010 10:18 PM

Is this still on, then?
 
Go ahead and put me down for it, if so. Things are looking to be fairly busy the next week or two, so don't look for anything like the activity I had last game, though. ;)

Noted.

satansaloser2005 11-21-2010 06:33 PM

Come on, people, let's fill this game up! At this point it's unlikely we'll be starting before Thanksgiving, so there should be plenty of people around to play! Sign up!

Also, I'm still rather giddy over this concept. I may go read some Cleolinda now. :)

Boromir88 11-21-2010 06:50 PM

Aye I was just checking to see when we'd be starting since I was going to be gone for Thanksgiving, no internet access until Sunday. Also, will still have to fulfill my jury duty, so with the late DL it won't be a problem, however, my activity will be down.

Shastanis Althreduin 11-22-2010 02:15 AM

Well, surely I can get at least twelve people? :confused: I know my last game wasn't the greatest, but really...?

You're last game was great! And I'm sure people have just forgotten there should be a game right now. Facebook advertise it and you'll have plenty of people!

Nogrod 11-22-2010 03:47 PM

As the starting of this game seems to have been postponed from what I thought it would be, you can count me in. My problems with too much RL-duties should be over in a few days... *phew!* :)

Shastanis Althreduin 11-25-2010 12:03 AM

Player list updated.

Inziladun 11-27-2010 08:55 PM

So, we're waiting for two more people, are we? Anyone got any lines on an arm or two you could twist? ;)

Shastanis Althreduin 11-28-2010 01:50 AM

:confused: Where is everyone?

A Little Green 11-29-2010 04:32 AM

I can bug Lommy if you like!

A Little Green 11-29-2010 08:02 AM

Update: bugged Lommy. She said you can count her in!

elronds_daughter 11-29-2010 01:05 PM

Just to let everyone (especially Shasta) know, if this gets off the ground this week, I may only be able to participate minimally until Sunday (several big projects due this week, and my music department's big Christmas concert). But I shan't be absent, and I shall try to be as talkative as I can. :)
