I'm with Formendacil on this one. Count me in. I cannot resist.

However, if you could postpone Night 1 till Thursday, I'd be immensely grateful. Otherwise, there will be no posts from me on Day 1.

I agree with mormegil when it comes to the Bear - it's not my favourite role and I think it quite unbalances the game. I don't have any serious objections, though. I like the Cobbler more than the Cursed, but either is fine and if the game is large enough, both is okay too.

I love the combining of the Hunter / Ranger with the Shiriffs. That could work out fairly well, I think.

I actually remembered that I had something to do Wednesday, so I am going to start Night 1 at 3:00 PM on Thursday, February 2nd. I will choose your roles and PM them to you on the Tuesday before that.

And actually, there won't be a Bear after all. Cobbler is in regardless. An Apprentice will be added for 18, and a Cursed will be added for 20. 20 is the absolute maximum.

Kath · 01-28-2006, 09:23 AM

Against all rational thought I'd like to be included please Menel if you still have room!

Meneltarmacil · 01-28-2006, 09:34 AM

All right. Formendacil, Cailín, and Kath, you're in. That brings the total number up to 15. If more want to play, there's room for five more.

And as Kuru shows us, it's not like the villagers are winning many games.

Yeah, but didn't the villagers win at least one of the games that had the bear in it?

The bear doesn't just kill villagers you know.

Glirdan · 01-28-2006, 09:44 AM

Hmmmm.... By the looks of things, I might actually be able to play. Thursday you say? Well, put my name down and I'll give you conformation by Wedensday. That ok Menel?

malkatoj · 01-28-2006, 09:58 AM

I'll be needing a role then, eh?

Well, I'd like to be the Retired Miracle Man, despite the fact that I'm not a man. It'll be fun, like a game...except it is a game.

This game is promising to be very, very awesome, by the way.

Yes that's true but odds are in favor of him/her killing villagers and not wolves.

I was gonna sit this one out and get some physics done but...

Kath's in.

Therefore, TGWBS is obliged to join.
And for my profession... Hmm. An island, eh? In that case, I shall be a mermaid-catcher and fisherman.

Wow, this looks to be a fantastic game. But alas, I fear for my college work. It has not been a problem yet, but I'm finding my homework increasing. Therefore, I shall not be playing.

I plan on being able to join you all again this summer, though I will play again sooner if possible.

Now, forgive me for butting into a discussion of a game I won't be in, but I just wanted to provide information.

There have been two games that have included bears. In the first game, which I was the bear, the wolves were all lynched in four days, leaving just me against the village. Needless to say, the village won that game going away. In the second episode, the bear, Glirdan, died the third day after only getting two kills. The wolves won that one without even losing a one of their own; none of them died. So, right now, that leaves the villagers and wolves tied at 1 each, and the Bears are 0 for 2.

All in all, I really don't think the bear shifts the balance either way. Initially, the wolves are in danger of dying Day and Night, and the villagers are likely to lose two every Night. As soon as the bear is gone, then both obstacles are gone, leaving the village just as if no bear had been there.

But, as I said, I am not in this game, so this is not for me to decide. Hope you guys have fun, I'll be watching as possible.
