Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'd like to play too, but first I have to see how long Valier's game is.

Caranlondien · 03-31-2006, 11:16 AM

I'm in favor of trying out the Shaman role... Vampires look like fun, but I think more thought has to go into them before trying them out. And I'm not sure what to think about retractable votes. Right now my vote is against them, but if the majority wants them, that's cool too.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 03-31-2006, 11:52 AM

I really, really would like to play, but I don't know if I should. Confusticate and bebother all this springtime busyness!

Okay, I'll play if it's fine with other players that you'll see me much less than usually. I don't want to steal a spot from someone who could concentrate on WWing better than me right now, but I wouldn't want to miss Farael's game either.

And now, some other things. If anyone is interested in my opinions at this point, here they are:

-I'd love to try out retractable votes.

-I'd prefer keeping the baddies as werewolves. Orcs are almost like humans, so the concept of a man turning into an orc at nights doesn't feel as scary as a man turning into a wolf. Besides, wolves are more graceful. Becaming an orc after the sunset reminds me of princess Fiona in Shrek.

Weredragons on the other hand... they must be quite tiny dragons in order to perform their nightly kills without that anyone sees them. However, ultimately it's Farael's choice, so whatever he decides, it's fine with me.

-So the deadline is 12 midnight GMT, right? Also, is that 12:00 GMT 0 or GMT +1 due to DST? In any case, that's a very decent deadline, thank you.

Farael · 03-31-2006, 09:02 PM

I'm dead tired so I'll leave discussion for later, I just wanted to update the player's list

Caranlondien:
JennyHallu:Doomsday prophet
Nogrod: unemployed barber.
Diamond:?
Grendelien:
Findëasëa
Celuien:lampwright
Zali
NIlp
Formen?
Kitanna
Lhuna????????<--- If not, I won't be her lover anymore *ahem* Oh, hey Nilp, what are you doing in Canada?? =P

Kitanna · 03-31-2006, 09:36 PM

Since I have been killed off in Valier's game I can defiantly play in this one.

Grendelien · 04-01-2006, 02:30 PM

I'm so sorry I've been away for a couple days...I definitely am still playing. As soon as this weekend's madness is over, I'll be able to fully dedicate myself to werewolfing!

JennyHallu · 04-01-2006, 02:32 PM

That's great...I just worried since I hadn't seen you. Glad you're still excited about it! Can't wait...when are we starting, Farael?

Farael · 04-01-2006, 03:21 PM

I don't want to start the game with fewer than 15 players.... if we get to that number before Monday, we'll start on Monday (night phase 1, so villagers get to start posting on Tuesday). If not, as soon as we get 15 players.

If we add Spawn to this, it will make 13. Sleepy has promised to think about this one too. Should we try to PM-recruit the last two in, so that we could start tomorrow (Monday)? Lommy is out from the WWJ-game, but has a big school-project, and so won't probably be joining this one.

Should we go for some occupations? That I think kind of depends on the overall setting of the village - elves, humans...?

What's your decision Farael?

JennyHallu · 04-02-2006, 05:45 AM

Well...I won't be around to help recruit. Must go remind my husband he's supposed to wake up in a bit, go to church, and then fix my car because somehow I've done something bad to the muffler. But hopefully I will be here tonight and I can see what you guys have accomplished.

Farael · 04-02-2006, 12:11 PM

Re: Occupations

Wereorcs it'll be in an elven village. It will be on the first age and epic roles (such as Silmaril keeper of Feanor follower ) will be allowed.... as long as they are deemed funny enough =D

Re: Starting date

Unless we get Formen, Diamond and Lhuna confirmed and three more players before about 12 AM GMT, i'll pull the starting date back to Tuesday.

Celuien · 04-02-2006, 02:00 PM

Occupation:

I will be a lampwright.

Nogrod · 04-03-2006, 04:55 PM

Well, as I had time and energy, I tried to help with updating the list. It looks a bit bad for a game to start tomorrow - taking heed to Farael's seeming RL hindrances as well...

Caranlondien: aspiring harpist
JennyHallu:Doomsday prophet
Nogrod: unemployed barber.
Grendelien: village whittler
Findëasëa paleoelfropologist
Celuien:lampwright
Zali stringer-of-bows
NIlp
Kitanna

Lhuna - not sure?
Dancing Spawn... - not sure?

Diamond:? - still alive in Valier's game
Formen? - still alive in Valier's game

So it's only 9 players (of which two haven't affirmed by giving their occupations), then two unsure and two pretty much no (as the Valier-game is still underway).

It seems, at the moment, that the next drop-out from Valier's game is either Glirdan or Mormegil. Both could be asked.

I have asked both Sleepy and Mithalwen to join, but both had good reasons not to join now. And as I said earlier, Lommy won't be in either.

Any ideas?

Nogrod · 04-03-2006, 05:07 PM

Valier's game might be at the end in minutes - they seemed to have lynched the one I have suspected probably the most the last two days just a while ago. Valier's death-post will be in soon. If they got the wolf, we'll have players, possibly...

Otherwise it was just one more of my bad hunches.

littlemanpoet · 04-03-2006, 05:25 PM

Um, the longer it takes for Farael's game to get underway and play out, the better it works for little ol' me.

I have a lot of deaths to write. And I'd really like to help Farael out by playing his game, but, well, I have a lot of deaths to write.

Diamond18 · 04-03-2006, 05:40 PM

Eh? You're writing deaths already, LMP? Doesn't your game start after Farael's?

Unless Farael's game is pushed back some more, I won't be playing. It doesn't really look like it's going to be able to start on Tuesday though... so what if you made it Wednesday or Thursday? By then you'll have more dead people from Valier's game or it might even be over.
