I really shouldn't be doing this, but I just can't help myself...

May I take the last spot as Nori? Modding made me really want to play.

But if someone else would like to play, and the auxiliary plan is not preferred, I am quite fine with stepping out.

(Oh, and for XXVII players who still care, I promise I'll finally have the final narrative up tonight. I'm so sorry it's taken so long. Really lost it's "magic," by now, I think, but it shall be done!)

Hey I just claimed Nori!

Ori you shall be called, if I have a say. . . but I guess it is all up to Oddwen

Oh, sorry, my mistake! I read your post wrong somehow, Rune.

I meant whichever of the two you weren't...so Ori. Sorry!

Actually, if it comes to anyone stepping out, I think it should be me. I am clearly not as excited to play as Durelin. And I did play the last game and will be modding the next...So, if someone else wants to play, remove my name.

Aw...so nobody would be interested in seeing a teenage Gimli, or Durin the Deathless if it comes to it?


Heehee...I haven't thought up any new deaths, but I just finished something for the first day...it's truly horrible...*evil giggle*

I don't think I know what you are refering to, but of course I would be interested in seeing Durin the Deathless. . . he be cool!

Hi, all.

I have come down with a flu thing and can hardly function. I don't know how long it will last. My dad was in bed for three days with it. I can't promise to be here for the beginning of the game so please remove my name. I'm so sorry. I sincerely hope you can find a replacement player for me. I meant to write earlier, but I was miserable and sleepy all day and am only well enough to write this by hand in bed, and have my sister type it up(thus explaining for any typos).

Good luck, everyone. I'll be back soon, I hope.

-- Folwren

Sorry to hear that, Folwren. Being sick is never fun.

Would anyone like to sign up as Dori, or would Durin or Radagast like to claim him perhaps?

Otherwise, the sign-up is closed.

I am going to have to flip a coin and take either Durin or Radagast out - roles will be assigned and PMed out either tonight or tomorrow morning, first NIGHT phase begins tomorrow morning.

*ching*

Farael, hope you don't mind being Dori. I'll see if I can't put Durin the Deathless in as a cameo somewhere.

Please note - I am having some problems with my computer, so if day/night posts are a bit late, I apologize.


Please post absences and general questions here, any role questions may be PMed to me and I will answer them here.

Thank you all *bows*

It was made with Garage Band, the song in the background is a cover of Tool's "Sober" as performed by the String Quartet Tribute.

Tolkien A lynch too far!!!!

Sacrilege, I say, sacrilege! Who could ever even contemplate lynching a Gandalf or a Bilbo or a Thorin--much less doing so? More tellingly, who would have such a dastardly mind as to assign a wolf (or various other nasty roles) to such "narrative" names?

Oh, and it won't end here, I'm sure. I fear a future game based on an Inkling theme where even The Professor himself is not immune to lynching.

The horror! The horror!

It's about time I get back into one of these. I haven't played one with the lovers yet and seeing Spawn and Nilp again is just far to appealing for me to resist.

If you're looking for a teenage Gimli (or Radagast) still slot me in. If not, no trouble.

I have just sent out everyone's roles. Wolves may not communicate until I open the game thread tomorrow. Twins may not communicate until the first Day's discussions.

If I missed anyone, like the person whose PM box is full, please get ahold of me.

Just to inform you all...

Beorn will be around mostly at late hours (ww-wise) because of the bear rituals*.
