tar-ancalime has just left Hobbiton.
++ Mytho

But as someone suggested above, I think that ought to entail --Cursed.

Otherwise we could end up with five wolves on our hands!

I agree Tar-A. I assume that everyone else who voted Mytho means that there should be no cursed?

Well, I'm back...

Actually, I was here the whole time, the point is that the boyfriend is no more.

Thanks a lot for the list, Wilwarin. I'm reposting it so that I can go and edit it when I get more information.

Bergil, m. A 'Superstitious Guy.'
Rune Son of Bjarne, Traveling Cheese Juggler
Wilwarin538, f. that crazy girl who wants to be a butterfly
Glirdan, m. Baker.
WaynetheGoblin. Scientist.
Gurthang. Peddler.
Sleepy Ranger. Explorer from out of town who gets stuck in Lower Tadfield.
Sotty. School teacher
Tar-ancalime. Crone.
Márcolië Lamen, unknown. DEATH.
Eonwe. Friendly undertaker.
Holbytlass, f. tanner.
Hiriel. Connoisseur of pointy objects.
THE Ka. People Covered in Fish (until you choose...or you can stay like this, I quite like it.)
Kitanna. Historian.

There is still space for three more people. If you join, we need an Antichrist for a role, please consider it.

Roles will be:
3 werewolves
1 seer
1 ranger
1 hunter
1 mythomaniac

If there's anything I'm forgetting, please tell me. Also, on NIGHT 1, (my death) I get a name from the Seer, right? But nobody else.

One other thing for you all to decide. I'd like to start the game tomorrow as I definitely have enough people, but since I'm planning on going with the 9 GMT-5. Unfortunately, I have a fencing class that gets out at 9 GMT-5 and I won't be home until 10. I feel it would be very unprofessional to have the backup post the first death, so I think that, as much as I hate waiting, starting on Tuesday would be, in general, a better idea. However, if you villagers just want to get it started, I'm willing to work something out with Abercrombie or have someone else (who may or may not have been visiting this weekend) log in as me and post the death, though I'm not sure I can trust him to *not* mess up.

If you want to start tomorrow despite my dilemma, registration will close at 4:00 GMT-5 tomorrow. If you are okay with starting on Tuesday, then it'll be same time, but on Tuesday, so I can get the roles all set.

Thanks for the patience while I was gone.

Tuesday is fine, but I just want to clarify the time thing (it's hard to get my mind around sometimes):

Will the first death be posted at 9:00PM Tuesday night, GMT-5?

Yes it will. The first death, that is, being mine. The first villager death will then be on Wednesday.

A few more things:
-Double Lynchings
-Retractable Votes
-Punishment for those who don't post (death after two DAYs?)


Discuss... I want to know what you guys want in the game so you're not always annoyed at the rules.

I don't like the retractable votes. It's what sealed my fate in my first WW game (ok not a good reason...) but also then there's a chance people will keep changing their minds and retract their votes alot. Will get quite confusing.

As for the punishment after two days of silence I'd say no if they have a good reason for being gone and they post in advance. Other then that I don't really mind.

I could care less about double lynchings.

A bit selfish of me because I love the game so much......
I'm assuming you're starting with a night, why not start on Monday and you write up your death when you get in. Even if it is an hour or two after 9:00p.m., the rest of the game can still be set at 9:00. And the wolves will already know who they are and can start to P.M. each other.

What say you all?
EDIT: cross-posted with the moddess-goddess

A few more things:
-Double Lynchings YAY
-Retractable Votes YAY
-Punishment for those who don't post (death after two DAYs?) YAY

I was going to do what Glirdan did last time--post the rules at some point during the day, then allow the wolves to PM until my death, which would be followed by a DAY.

I could post my death early (6:30) and not allow anyone to post until 9, thus allowing the wolves to PM until then. That way, I could get the game started ASAP and not lose the dignity of being an Absentee (G/M)od on the first day.

If that's too confusing, tell me, but I think it'll be the best way.
