This will be a fairly basic game regarding roles and set up and such. The only difference is in how roles will be given out. You will, technically, be choosing your own role!

*everyone gasps* How can this be?!?!?

Well, you’ll be choosing them, without knowing what you’re choosing. It's really not as exciting as I just made it sound. Basically I have a list here of 20 characters. When you sign up you choose a character that you will be for the game (you don't have to role play, but you can if you want, they'll be used in my narrations), and that character already has had a role randomly assigned to it. So the roles don't necessarily fit the character, it’s all random. Once everyone is signed up I will let you know your role just like always. It's basically just a different way to give out the roles.

I can take 14 to 20 players. Let’s say no one chooses the character who is the Seer, than I will randomly choose one of the Ordos to be the Seer. So every role will be used no matter what.

Roles

3 Wolves

1 Cursed

1 Seer

1 Hunter

1 Ranger: can’t protect same person 2 nights in a row, can protect xself once.

1 Cobbler

2 Shirriffs : the first role I ever had in a WW game, so I have a soft spot for it ^_^. Basically just PM pals, don’t die together or anything, and can’t reveal their roles while both are still alive.

1 Unicorn (totally stealing this from Lottie, cause I loved it): when they die I will put the names of all of the dead in a hat, including the Unicorn’s name. If the name I pick out is of an innocent (or Cobbler) they will come back, if it’s a Wolf than no one comes back. Everyone comes back as an Ordo (except Cobbler still Cobbler, and Shirriff still Shirriff if their partner is still alive).

+ X # of Ordos

Characters (everyone choose one when you sign up, please!)

Mad Hatter
Cheshire Cat
Tweedledee
Tweedledum
The Caterpillar
White Rabbit
March Hare
The Dormouse
Humpty Dumpty
Queen of Hearts
King of Hearts - Inziladun
Knave of Hearts
Duchess
The Dodo
Bill the Lizard
The Gryphon
The Mock Turtle
White Knight
White Queen
Red Queen

DL will be either 10 PM or 10 AM (EST), I still haven’t figured out which would be better. Feel free to let me know which is better for all of you.

Also if anyone has any comments about the setup/balance/roles of the game please don't be shy to say something!

Let the sign ups begin!

Inziladun · 04-04-2010, 02:54 PM

Looks good to me. 10 PM would probably work best.
And....King of Hearts.

Aganzir · 04-04-2010, 03:05 PM

I'd love to play and this is probably the only time I might not be too busy before the summer... But I'm not sure yet.

So sign me up as the Queen of Hearts with a question mark, please. (So no one can lynch me simply for being my lovely self!

) Hi Inzil it seems we're married! Just fitting, given that in wilwa's last WW we were a pack.

Loslote · 04-04-2010, 03:15 PM

Ooh! Ooh! I'm in!

I'll be...

um...

*flips coin*

I'll be the Duchess.

EDIT: Oh, and either time technically works for me, but I would prefer PM.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 04-04-2010, 03:23 PM

Nice, I think I'd like to play.

But where the heck is Jabberwocky?

Otherwise, I don't really have much of a preference about role... I can decide later so as not to take something other people would like to be.

Can anybody translate to me what the DLs mean in GMT, please? (I think they will both be rather bad for me anyway, but who cares.)

Um. EST is four hours behind GMT, so it would be 2 AM GMT or 2 PM GMT.

What a shame, I prefer not to kill right away people I've never played with.

It would've been hilarious if Lommy had been the Duchess. We would've had an excuse to quarrel!

Legate it's umm an 7 hour difference (remember it's daylight saving time)... So the AM time would be 5pm for us and the PM 5am for us. I prefer the AM time.

edit: corrected the timezone, the website I found earlier had it wrong

Heh. Being lynched early is not exactly a new experience for me - although it's usually the wolves who lynch me. Does this mean you're wolvish already?

Yup, definitely! I feared we were screwed up when the seer revealed two of us when it had been going so well but luckily you saved us all!

Actually... it's the last game I played in.

I never realised it was so long!

Feanor of the Peredhil · 04-04-2010, 06:40 PM

Well, I originally got really excited about the prospect of gimbling in the wabe, but then I was the Jabberwock wasn't an option.

So I figured, okay, well, I'll be the Cheshire Cat. That's a solid option. No doubt the Hatter's already taken.

Alas, no such luck.

And so.

Heh. Fair enough. I just think it'll be superfun with you as her Highness.
