Leaf Admin Thread for Werewolf XLIV: In the House of Tom Bombadil

The summer of 2911 waned to autumn and then arrived winter. First snows appeared at the end of October. It was perfectly normal – until the Hobbits and other Northeners noticed that the snow didn't show any signs of melting, nor was the cold breaking. Earth was covered by a thick, white blanket that gained height daily. The sun had seemingly deserted the North. In December, food was already getting scarce. And then came the wolves.

**

The roles

-Three werewolves. They may PM at Nights and pick a kill, which should be sent to me at least an hour before the deadline - otherwise there will be no kill. The wolves win when the number of the villagers is equal or less to their own number.

-Some 12 ordinary villagers. They win when the werewolves have been lynched.

-No gifteds. Personally, I want to see how a village manages without them. I also want to see what wolf plotting will be like when they don't have to use their time in trying to find the gifteds.

**

The rules

-Non-retractable votes.
-No multiple lynches. In case of a tie, the lynchee will be chosen randomly.
-Failing to vote twice results in execution.
-The deadline will probably be 7 PM GMT. This can be discussed, though.

You don't have to choose a character occupation. I have prepared you a nice little village, and the roles will be chosen by dice roll. This is not going to be an in character game (though I don't mind some IC banter), I do it mainly to amuse myself. If you have any objections (eg. you don't want to be married to a person of the same sex), please let me know so that I may tamper with the results of the lottery if necessary.

Also, as for the milieu, I'm not imitating Farael. I had the idea of the game ready before his game started.

We will start when there are 15 players.

Players:
Rikae
Macalaure
Menel
sally
Durelin
Gwathy
Nerwen
Nogrod
Lommy
Greenie
Boro
McCaber
Ka
Mith
Volo

A game with no gifteds? Sounds good to me! I've always thought the true point of WW was rhetorical skill and close reading, anyway... this looks like an exciting challenge. Sign me up!

No gifteds? I'm in.

Seers are annoying. Rangers useless unless they can protect the annoying seer. Hunters useless unless they impersonate an annoying seer. Good riddance, I say!

edit: I like the deadline.

I am working on resigning myself to dying very early on, Rikae...but maybe you could at least let me have, say...until the game starts?

I think they usually are the most annoying when they're doing that.

Peace, love, happiness and unity, or how do they say it? Applies to werewolf well, don't you agree?

But not everybody will be married in the first place. Besides, I'm allowing same-sex marriages in Middle-earth! How inexcusable!

Sure. It's already a while since you played last, isn't it?

And I was thinking if I should write in the rule post that admin thread is not a place to discuss game things but decided against it...

I found a wolfsie! I found a wolfsie! Let's kill her now and get it over with!

:P Looking forward to (hopefully) not lynching you. :P

Well, as I said - 23-30th I am not going to be around, so if the game starts before I return (which is likely), I have to miss this one... well, I wanted a little break, anyway (but then I can as well see myself missing playing when my turn comes ). Anyway, if by chance I come back before the game starts, or let's say during Day 1 (as there is not any Seer, presence on Night 1 is not needed, and even if I were to be a wolf, one Night without plotting is possible) or something like that, I would like to join. Maybe. Err, okay, I already said that

And P.S. have you noticed? Once Again, Agan wants people to marry each other.

A game that follows the Fell Winter, which involved white wolves attacking the Shire, was something I thought would work well.

I'm in. And I've got no objections to the dice falling where they may.

No gifteds? *laughs maniacally* Sounds like a blast. Count me in dearie.

As for the deadline, that is spectacular. Means I can actually post semi-close to the end of Day.

And what of us spinsters? I think you're just a slave to cultural norms, and thus can't envision yourself a society without the institution of marriage.
Just teasing, Agan. Although, if I end up being married to someone, I would prefer it to be a man, since you asked. (And in jest, I protest to marrying Legate. After last game, I think I'd be arrested for spousal abuse. )

No objections about roles and definitely no objection about the deadline.

So, we meet again, Durelin... (she's a wolf! Get her!)

About the deadline -- it's 2 pm for me, which means I'll be at the college on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I can live with that, but it will mean voting early sometimes.

EDIT: Oh yes, and if we're going to be married, I'll have to be married to Nogrod (if he plays.) After all, he loves me.

An opportunity to kill werewolves. Splendid! Let me at them.

I would have to vote several hours earlier than everyone else, as I'm six hours behind GMT and would be at class during the deadline.
