A problem, Rune... I made you a Moonshiner. I'm not sure if that phrase kind of gets through. Please native-speakers, help us out with this. Other ones that came to my mind would be something like Spirit brander or burner (idioms straight from Finnish language).

And if there are open female occupations still this evening (RL), I'll be making someone Eiliniel...

I'll start dealing the cards in a moment. And I will do a lot of it to ensure whom Lady Fortune really wishes to get any given role. So the roles will not be dealt with a sudden kick of luck but with a long process where one really has to "earn" the role with the cards defying the expected mean value.

The roles and questionnaires have been sent. If you haven't received a PM please PM me to check your role.

The wolves are allowed to start PM'ing.

Night1 has started in practise, although it is still 9½ hours until the official starting hour.

You may bring your occupations here up to the start of the game (Day1) on Monday 10 PM GMT, but if you will fail to do that, I'll come with one to you. The present occupations can be seen in post #47.

Thank's for all the answers to the questionnaires so far. This looks fun indeed!

Keep the answers flowing...

And good luck to all of you, whatever role you have received!

1420!

I'll be the Retired Village Idiot.

The idea of it makes me laugh, as how can an idiot retire if he or she was ever an idiot in the first place?

My tunic is stained with thirty years' worth of rotten tomato stains but I have long since popped my pig's-bladder-on-a-stick with which I used to thwack the mayor over the head at village feasts...

Rikae & Kath: if you're not giving me an occupation soon I will make another one of you Eiliniel... (the role is up for graps for the one who announces it first)

Mac's role is not made up by himself - he gave me the liberty of coming up with it. Just to let you know.

I'm guessing you cross-posted there as I've noticed you added me to the list!
