Hey there, count me in. I'm rather new to this site, so if the werewolves could refrain from killing me right off the bat...

Ooh be careful, that kind of talk will make you look suspicious and you know newness doesn't mean you won't have a furry, fanged and bloodthirsty nature!!!

Welcome to the Downs though!

I thought the Werewolf novelty might actually wear off but it looks like its popularity is growing somewhat exponentially. I'm sitting out the games in the near future (despite the obvious temptation of playing with Sauce and Mith - *sighs*).

Just to let you know. If you are running two simultaneous games this week or any other time. I'm pretty much always free so if you ever need a moderator on short notice, you know where to find me.

*I know I've done it before, it's just in case you're desperate*

I think there's a fairly long list of future moderators anyway.

But haven't there been concerns raised about simultaneous games in the past?

*shakes head* Tell me about it.

Are you sure you can handle this big a village, Oddwen? *concerned look*

Feanor of the Peredhil · 08-08-2005, 10:34 PM

I considered playing in this game... but I can't. Too busy. But Oddy, if you need a retired Moddess Maia for anything, I'm just a PM away.

Mithalwen · 08-09-2005, 06:05 AM

If there is a werehamster, I definitely want to play...

Firefoot · 08-09-2005, 06:20 AM

The werehamster sounds really cool. A question: if the werehamster is still alive after all the wolves are dead, would the game still continue?

Meneltarmacil · 08-08-2005, 11:47 AM

I'm not sure on the idea that Shirriffs shouldn't be allowed to reveal themselves. If they did reveal themselves, the wolves would probably kill one of them the next Night, and the other one the Night after that, etc. but in that case, they would have two Days to influence everybody's voting and might put an end to the wolves rather quickly. The Shirriffs would have even more Days to work with if, as I had suggested, there were more than two. The policy one takes toward the Shirriffs would seem to depend on how long one wants the game to go on.

littlemanpoet · 08-08-2005, 01:37 PM

Tell you what, I'm sitting out the next game to make room.

the guy who be short · 08-08-2005, 01:43 PM

Hmm, I think I'll also sit the next one out, on second thoughts. I've played far too many, and I don't think we should spill over into two games at once.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-08-2005, 03:13 PM

Agreed. By the way, I thought the cobbler was a very interesting addition to the game (and not just because I so obviously benefited from it!) As for the Shiriffs, even though they cannot reveal themselves, it does give the villagers that slight advantage which I think is a good thing.

Firefoot · 08-08-2005, 03:38 PM

About the Shirriffs... they're intended purpose is to give two villagers who know each other is innocent, not to give the entire village two known innocents (though this does help the villagers tremendously).

If more space is needed, I would sit this one out; I've been involved in every one except II... I'd really like to play, though, since like I said, I probably won't be playing in anymore for a while.

(Sorry, I just like lists and I want to know who all has signed up...

Like SpM, I'd like to know how Oddwen's going to be running her game before choosing a role, etc.
