Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves)

[Encaitare]

I've asked one of my friends if she'd be interested in playing since I've told her a lot about the game. She has registered here but hasn't yet posted. Her name is Laitaine, so if she chooses to join, be nice.

Name: Encaitare Wormtongue

Age: never ask a lady...

Race: puny mortal, thought to have come from somewhere around Rohan

Gender: XX chromosome type.

Weapons: words, of course

Appearance: rather skulky and unwashed.

Personality: a loner whom no one knows very well, or even wants to, for that matter.

History: she'll occasionally walk around the village muttering under her breath about her one true love and how he told her they'd run away together but then he had to go and get himself killed by midgets.

I have never played before but I would like to try it out if I could. Mormegil talked me into it. Thanks

I'd like the cobbler to be in there too.

And something I'm wondering about: If the Werehamster attacks the Cursed Villager, what happens? Does he/she become another hamster and do the two hamsters then work together like the wolves?

[Alcarillo]

I too enjoyed the cobbler in the last game and would like to see a cobbler in this one. I think the werehamster, however, is a bit too complicated and I'd like to see it go, along with the cursed gifteds. I just don't like the idea of three teams. I would have either another werewolf or another cursed (and ungifted) villager with such a large village just to even out the advantages of so many villagers over so few werewolves. And like the Saucepan Man said, I think non-retractable votes are the best way to go.

P.S. Credit goes to Oddwen for my new avvie

If we do go with a flexibility of Days/Nights ending early, you have to be careful with how you do it. I made a mistake in the last game of starting a Day too soon after a short night; anyone who thought about it realized then that the wolf could not have been Lhuna, since she was asleep. So make sure people in all timezones are covered before starting new phases.

I said this in WW7 but I'll say it in this thread I feel that a minimum of 8 hours should be given to avoid those problems. I say 8 because, realistically, that gives anybody in the world the chance to post. That will make it so we cannot figure things out based on timezones.

Okay, having spent a 48 hour marathon reading a thread that I have been assidiously avoiding since its inception (first for dislike of the game "Mafia", later for fear of its apparent addictiveness), I am up to date on all the current aspects of the WW culture...

And boy do I wish I had done this sooner!!!

As it is, though, I will be heading off to Europe on Thurday (special audience with the Pope... well, me and about 2 million other people), and I won't be back until the start of September.

So I might be around in time for WW9. So save me a seat!

As an addendum, I thought I'd add my comments:

And, in short, this is a lot of fun and I'm very envious- but!- it's getting too complicated...

Really, I'm with Eomer of the Rohirrim: I'd be plenty happy playing according to the original, BW, version.

As would I. It's hard to balance out the advantages of the wolves with the advantages of the villagers when you start adding so many different people.

I'd also have no problem with sitting this game out, as 21 in a village might be a bit much....
