I dunno 'Mer, I'm up against you.

Besides I very rarely lie in RL (I'm more likely to dodge questions subtley than lie outright), so I've got to get my mind games all out of my system here, where they are appreciated and I don't feel bad about messing with people. Hence my new role as pathological liar. That way, when I lie outright to gauge reactions, I have a better excuse than "i felt like it." I can say "Hey, just living up to the role."

It is now proposed that there be a rule against deleting posts, for obvious reasons that they, and the players' analysis of them, dictate the direction of the game. Modifying posts, adding and removing contents, is also being questioned. What say you, new Moddess Goddess?

No deleting posts. I'm not going to ban you from editing your posts, but you're not supposed to be drastically changing them - and after so much time you shouldn't be editing your posts anyway. For example, Lhuna shouldn't go back and change something she wrote two days ago. But editing is sometimes extremely useful, like when creating a list, sometimes you miss an item or two on that list.

You're having the Cobbler and the Cursed, Footsie?

Provided that there are enough players. Right now we don't have enough players to have both.

Menel - I'm going to go ahead and let you play.

Dancing Spawn
Durelin
Encai - Wandering gypsy
Eomer - Generous dancer
Feanor - Pathological liar
Kath - Undertaker
Lhuna - Lhunatic
LMP - Stuffy old scholar
Menel - Creepy guy
Mormegil - Official executioner
Nilp - Suspicious wolf breeder
Oddwen - Tourist
Oromin - Musician
Saurreg - Shepherd
TGWBS - Blacksmith

I tell you, I would not want to raise kids in this village, even without the wolves... wolf breeder, liar, lunatic, creepy guy, executioner...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-20-2005, 07:49 AM

But Footie, your kids would get such a firm grasp on the beauty and frailty of life, and they would appreciate it all the more. Now isn't that worth all of the mortal peril?

Meneltarmacil · 07-20-2005, 08:21 AM

I just asked about how long I'll be gone, and it seems I will leave Friday but not be back until noon on Monday, which is even longer than I had originally thought. It is possible that I may be able to post while I'm gone Saturday and Sunday, but don't count on it.

Firefoot · 07-20-2005, 08:50 AM

Menel, I don't think that will work. You'd probably be missing two full DAYS, which I think would get frustrating for some of the other players. I'd like to have you play but I don't think it would be fair to the other players.

And I hate to be turning away players when I'm trying to get more.

Durelin · 07-20-2005, 08:55 AM

I would like to be the Village dead-header of flowers, if I may.

And maybe with a selective memory.

littlemanpoet · 07-20-2005, 09:00 AM

Tell you what, instead of "stuffy old scholar", make me the "local stuffy old astrologer".

Without Menel, that kind of drops us down a tad.

And now for a crazy idea:

If you really want the numbers up, maybe you'd be willing to mess around with a really obfuscatingly complicating situation, and have some of us play multiple characters. I'm sure I could be persuaded to have Falco Boffin be the resident Hobbit while my astrologer could be some guy named Elempí of Umbar. Of course, this idea could create way more problems than it solves, so maybe you might just want to forget it.

Edit: Of course, if Elempí is a werewolf and Falco Boffin is a seer, it could raise interesting problems now, couldn't it?

Firefoot · 07-20-2005, 09:12 AM

TORE - with Days/Nights starting at noon, missing Sundays won't be a problem.

Only little problems.

Maybe I'll go try to recruit some people... If we can't pick up any more, I'll probably drop the Cursed Villager.

Dancing Spawn - Landlady
Durelin - Dead-header of flowers (has selective memory)
Encai - Wandering gypsy
Eomer - Generous dancer
Feanor - Pathological liar
Kath - Undertaker
Lhuna - Lhunatic
LMP - Local stuffy old astrologer
Mormegil - Official executioner
Nilp - Suspicious wolf breeder
Oddwen - Tourist
Oromin - Musician
Saurreg - Shepherd
TGWBS - Blacksmith
TORE - Weedgrower

Durelin - what's a dead-header?

The Only Real Estel · 07-20-2005, 09:02 AM

It looks like I'll be able to join up, though I doubt I'll be able to post at all on any Sunday that the game runs over, maybe just a quick note that night (my time) or something.

If that's not a problem I guess I'll add another child-scaring role to the village: Weedgrower. I own & operate the village's weed 'garden'.

edit: Nilp is a suspicious wolf breeder? I never would've guessed that!
