I think those are Master phantom's intentions. My first "role" was an insulting frenchman, but phantom made me aware that there were no frenchmen in middle-earth so I changed it with one of his suggestions as "insulting man from Dor-lomin"

I should keep my eyes open -- just now stumbled on this thread in time to get my occupation in under the wire. It is: Itinerant Drúadan Watch-stone Maker.

As for the time-zone check, I'm in PDT.

Looking forward to the game.

Hasn't every game been set in Middle-earth?

Well, since we are in a variety of time zones, it looks like no matter what time I pick there are going to be people from certain areas that have to vote before the very end of the day. Make sure and factor that into your suspicions.

I think I'm going to go with 1:30 AM EST for the start/end time.

That way, those of you in Europe can get in on the very end of voting if you are up early (I think 6:30 AM in Brit and 8:30 AM if you're in Esty's zone).

For us in North America, we will have to stay up late to get in on the end of voting- 1:30 AM for Fea's zone, 12:30 AM for me, 11:30 PM for morm and the others in his zone, and 10:30 PM for Mister Underhill's zone.

I'm not sure exactly what time it will be for Lhuna, but I know it won't be night so Lhuna should be fine.

I'm going to be sending out roles pretty soon.

Depending on where you live, NIGHT 1 will begin very late Sunday night or very early Monday morning.

DAY 1, when everyone can begin posting, will begin Tuesday at 1:30 AM EST.

Once you receive your role, you are not allowed to mention the game to another living member of the village until the game is over- except for the wolves, who can pm amongst themselves all the time.

You cannot give a rep to someone unless they are dead. Reps, depending on when they are given and what they say, will probably influence the opinions of the recipient, and I don't want that to happen.

So, NO PMING OR REPPING A LIVING PLAYER.

Just a reminder to all players that we will want to be in invisible mode for the duration of the game or at least the part you are active in.

That's right. I remember in Werewolf VII...

Thanks for the concern, milord phantom. The time is perfect for me. I am in GMT +8, so that will be 1:30 PM over here. I just looove sem breaks.

As for my role, I'll be the village healer (of hurts and hearts ).

The only day there should be a problem are Thurdsays, where I have meetings until 11, and I'm not in the mood to stay up much later. So, if it's the day phase on Thursday, expect a very early vote from me (5-6ish EST)

A role eh? Would you permit me to be a beggar? Since most of this game shall be played on borrowed time (if not time outright stolen from my homework) it seems almost fitting...and now I can put my begging bowl to good use.

Also, Phantom, thanks for moving the starting date back. Last I had known it was to have started today and I'd have come in late...

Many Thanks.

I prefer to say individual.... Anyway it is good to see that the mantle of despotic moderation has been assumed..

I try my best.

Okay everyone- as morm said earlier, make sure you are all in INVISIBLE MODE.

Also, starting now, all questions should be posted on the original Werewolf thread, or pmed to me.

NIGHT 1 will begin shortly.

The only person I need to hear from on NIGHT 1 is the Seer.

DAY 1, when everyone can begin posting, will begin Tuesday at 1:30 AM EST- less than 25 hours from now.

Talk up a storm every day. Come up with all the theories you can. Analyze every vote and Werewolf kill and think of every possible implication, and then post it- no matter how unlikely it is.

Prove that you are worthy to be in the phantom's village!

And have fun, too.
