Count me in...

WaynetheGoblin · 08-26-2005, 08:31 AM

I'd like to join also. I'll be the dentist.

wilwarin538 · 08-26-2005, 08:32 AM

Me too please!

I'll be a vet.

Alcarillo · 08-26-2005, 08:37 AM

Count me in, too. I'll decide my career later after I have time to think about it.

Durelin · 08-26-2005, 08:37 AM

I had a ball in the last game, so I am dying to join the next.

But....can you put me down as *tentative*? I'll step out if you get a lot of people interested. I have school starting soon, anyway...so I should probably focus more on that. Probably. (ha ha)

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-26-2005, 08:56 AM

I must be honest and say that I didn't enjoy the role of the Black Beorning. I think it's pretty pointless, really. Anyone else?

I can't play in this one, but I'll be watching it closely. Good luck Enca.

I thought it was a bit much... In most games, where the werewolves roam free for quite a long time, the Village would have no chance. And in the previous game, even with all the wolves dead, the Village could have easily lost.

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-26-2005, 09:04 AM

I thik that it added a fantastic new dimension to the game. Two kills per Night, decisions whether to try lynching a Wolf or the Bear, almost untraceable Werebear behaviour balanced by the fact that he is out of the game on a single Wolf kill or lynching (and is trumped by a Wolf survivor). It worked for me.

My only reservation would be that it may have tipped the game against the Wolves, but I doubt that is the case. Another innocent Villager would act the same way as far as hunting for the Wolves is concerened. And they benefit from the two kills per Night. The Wolves were unlucky to have a Wolf go down on the first Day - there was no particular reason to suspect Mithalwen any more than a number of others that Day.

In my view, it worked well. Although it made for a terrifically long and stressful game.

I enjoyed watching this game with the werebear, it was probably clearer to people in the game but Saucepan Man's right--it added a new dimension, a new worry, to the game.

The biggest problem I see is that if it's a small village 2 kills per night can be very damaging, but for the size they had (20 people I think) it seemed to be alright.

Encaitare · 08-26-2005, 09:23 AM

I liked the Black Beorning -- it was exciting to watch, even though it offed me pretty early on.

List of players thus far for Werewolf IX:
UPDATED!
1. Folwren - blacksmith
2. Shelob - student of the Ancient and Long-Dead Gadian Language; a llama famer on the side
3. Holbytlass - seller of "zoo-doo" fertilizer
4. the guy who be short
5. Meneltarmacil
6. WaynetheGoblin - dentist
7. wilwarin538 - tailor
8. Alcarillo
9. Durelin - Mistress of 1337
10. Saucepan Man - mushroom harvester
11. Kath - gardener
12. the phantom - apothecary
13. Azaelia of Willowbottom - flower-selling lass
14. Cailín
15. arcticstorm - coppersmith
16. Nonnacedak
17. mormegil - merchant
18. Gil-Galad - lawyer, has a pet bird
19. SamwiseGamgee
20. Glirdan - cheese seller
21. Bergil - very bad carpenter

List is complete. [/update]

I will be on vacation from Sunday, August 28 to Thursday, September 1. I'll probably be good to begin on September 3, if that's a good time frame for everyone. Now, for the timing of the game. I obviously want to pick a time frame which will be [relatively] convenient for everyone. I'll probably have the most time at night, say, around 10 EST? Or will that convert to be too heinously late for our players across the pond? If you're not night owls, I can bump it back by a few hours.

(Oh, how my parents will love this! "Enca, go do your homework!" "But Mom, I have to write a gory death scene first!"

)
