Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mithalwen · 05-12-2005, 01:49 PM

I think Eomer pulled out?

Please can we have a game for Brits who aren't nocturnal/insomniacs?

Anguirel · 05-12-2005, 01:56 PM

Hmmm...would anyone object if Brits held a game with identical rules, but a different story, and with a British moderator? I think it would be good fun.

Of course, Brits could still play in this one and vice versa, if they wanted.

Not want merely logistics .... if I could I would but I have a responsibility to be fairly conscious at work and more vitally fit to drive there and back. I function quite well on 6hrs sleep but it does have to be those 6 hours.... unfortunately... of course other Brits have different lifestyles and biorhythms...

Anguirel · 05-12-2005, 02:05 PM

I'm luckier than you. I get 11:00 to 6:30...but the internet, as I said, slumbers at ten...

Mithalwen · 05-12-2005, 02:08 PM

At least my work for the next few weeks gives me access at work (albeit not during work hours) so I could check in before 9, between 1-2 and after 5 but that doesn't help with the night thang... hey ho..

Encaitare · 05-12-2005, 02:24 PM

Sounds like an interesting game that I would like to try sometime in the future, but I won't have internet access for the next few days. I'd like to see it in the works, though, so I'll have a good idea of what to do the next time around.

bilbo_baggins · 05-12-2005, 02:48 PM

So we have the 12 players, I think. When do we start, Barrow-Wight?

bilbo_baggins

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-12-2005, 02:18 PM

I would prefer to see everyone play together in one large game rather than two smaller games, at least for our first attempt at Werewolf. In order to do this, it seems that we would have to adjust our timeframes a bit. The Saucepan Man has suggested 24 hours for each day and night, which would accomodate everyone but possibly drag the game down to a pace that would be detrimental to our enjoyment of it. On the other hand, the 6 hour NIGHT / 18 hour DAY excludes far too many of our members, so we must make some kind of changes if we want to have maximum participation.

Again, I think a compromise might solve our problem.

A DAY/NIGHT cycle of 24 hours is too fast, 48 hours is too slow, so how about a rotating 36 hour cycle?

NIGHT 1_____6 PM to 6 AM (12 hours)
DAY 1_______6 AM to 6 AM (24 hours)
NIGHT 2_____6 AM to 6 PM (12 hours)
DAY 2_______6 PM to 6 PM (24 hours)

This will allow us to kill 4 players every 3 days (instead of 4). With the moderator clearly posting when the next deadline is, this would give everyone the best chance of having time to play. And, really, only the werewolves and seer would be affected by the shorter timespan.

Tell me what you think, and sign up soon! We're only two players short of a game!

Mithalwen · 05-12-2005, 02:22 PM

I think I could probably cope with that....

Anguirel · 05-12-2005, 02:23 PM

Splendid. I'd like to sign up. Again.

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-12-2005, 03:51 PM

Enrollment for the first game of Barrow-Downs Werewolf is now closed.

Players for this game are:

mormegil
The Saucepan Man
the phantom
Primrose Bolger
Anguirel
Firefoot
Oddwen
Feanor of the Peredhil
Shelob
bilbo_baggins
Kuruharan
Mithalwen

All players should look for a PM shortly to show your roles.

All werewolves have until 6AM tomorrow morning to decide which one villager will be killed.

The seer has until 6AM tomorrow morning to name a player to dream about.

Good luck!

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-12-2005, 04:12 PM

I've sent PMs to all players notifying each of their role in this game.

Remember that people can see who you are sending PMs to by looking on the WHO'S ONLINE page, so make yourself INVISBLE (See Edit Options in your User Panel).

Only the werewolves and the seer should be sending PMs in the game.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 05-12-2005, 06:44 PM

Quick question: will we be playing on this thread, or will there be a new one opening to accomadate the actual game?

***The Barrow-Wight*** · 05-12-2005, 07:30 PM

All DAY discussions can occur right here in this thread.

Hookbill the Goomba · 06-10-2005, 11:39 AM

I realise that I'll have to await the beginning of the next game, but this looks like a lot of fun! Full of suspense and the unknown! Just what we corpses need on our lowly days on the Barrows!

When is the next game beginning? During that time, I'll probably look at the other games in order to get to grips with it. Looking forwards to it!

P.s. Tol-in-Gaurhoth would probably make for a good Film, don't you think?

Mithalwen · 06-10-2005, 11:59 AM

Well I knowwho I would be gunning for at the moment......

Azaelia of Willowbottom · 06-10-2005, 01:47 PM

I am so, so sorry. I could not get online yesterDAY, except for the very beginning, and even then, I didn't have enough time to vote. I had just gotten home from school and had to head off quickly after that for more classes. So my dad started yelling at me for being online. I know I haven't said much, and yesterDAY not at all... but it really isn't in my control. I realise how guilty my "Real Life" is making me look!

Ainaserkewen · 06-10-2005, 04:22 PM

Is it just me or are the villagers losing again? Come on guys!

Morsul the Dark · 08-13-2005, 11:44 AM

Can I join in one of these games?

Laitaine · 08-15-2005, 10:20 AM

I don't know if anyone actualy reads this, but I'll post my problem anyway. Sorry, guys, but today I'm not going to be posting much for a bit today. My mom is making me do college stuff and it'll probably take something like an hour right now. Please don't take my silence as anything conspicuous, I really don't have any control over this

All righty, I'll try to post later.

the guy who be short · 08-15-2005, 10:49 AM

Whoever is the next Mod, could the game please be set in the Shire? I just think it would be hilarious with all of us as hobbits trying to cope with an invasion of werewolves.

It could be like the Fell Winter all over again...

Morsul the Dark · 08-15-2005, 11:08 AM

that is indeed an interesting thought

I like it I agree

Legolas in spandex · 04-10-2006, 02:03 PM

I was told I was invited to a werewolf game again under active topic. Is this it? Please direct me. I'll gladly play.

Looks like the right place... and anyhow, even if this wasn't the one you had been invited, feel free to join.

(I guess this is the only one starting any day soon)

JennyHallu · 04-10-2006, 02:50 PM

You only need to tell us what your occupation is, in an elven village. Have you played before?

alonariel · 07-29-2009, 12:27 PM

Sign me up! (Hopefully I'm not too late. I passed out last night when I got home from work and just now checked my email...)

Boromir88 · 07-30-2009, 09:05 PM

Add me to the Mod-list, I finally have a preliminary idea that I adore and think I can be responsible enough to run one of these games. I will also be accepting applications for anyone who would like to co-mod.

Oooh, depending on when your game happens I would like to. If you'd have me!

Most definitely!

I'm planning a basic, straightforward game - but have 2 ideas for a 'theme' I'd like to try out one of 'em. I won't work you too hard, I will mostly just ask for your help before the start in picking out teams, but that I can explain more later.

Right now, after Lari's game I think Eonwe is next. Than I will just wait on word from Nogrod. He has a certain time available to go, so if he's ready and able, take it Nog

. If not, I'll go...which means I'm guessing late August-early September?

Dang it! I saw the spam poster's username and was really hoping it wasn't a spammer. Imagine all the good meta-logic you could use on them in a game!

"But baddie is part of their name, for pity's sake. Vote for them!"

When's the next game up? *bounces*

Glirdan · 04-28-2010, 08:24 PM

Well I can't do mine just yet, still need to do some background research and I don't quite have the time just now, so someone can jump ahead of me.

Who does that put forward as next, then? Shasta, since alona's apparently not around at the moment?

Shastanis Althreduin · 05-01-2010, 10:14 PM

I'm fine with hosting next.

Shastanis Althreduin · 05-02-2010, 02:23 PM

Sooooo uhhh. Is this where you sign up to mod a game?

Because I can totally get behind that. Shasta can verify I'm a reliable mod.
