Yeah, Thanksgiving would need a pause...at least if there are enough Americans in this game. I'm going home for the holidays from the 21-25. If we didn't pause then, I could still play as I will have internet access, but I would be absent for most of the 21, 22, and 25.

Anyways, I do hope you'll be able to find a way to join us, Nogrod.

Well, let's see...that would be between 10am-3pm EST. Since the deadline will be during the daytime for me, it'll be hard to be there everday when the Day ends with the class schedule I have. A 4pm, or even 5pm GMT deadline would be most ideal for my schedule since it is for the most part, before all my classes. I can work with other times, but I might have to leave an hour or two early before deadline on some days.

A question: Will we be choosing roles to play for this game, or do we just go in as ourselves?

[The Might]

Ok, I've had enough of watching this strange game take all away from the good old trivia matches, so I've decided to join and see for myself what this WW thing is about.

Now, I really am a n00b at this, so it would really be nice if someone could explain the rules of the game in general, or post a link to information.

Not sure what this deadline thing is, maybe the time by which you have to have posted. If this is case, then 7pm GMT is also great for me.

EDIT: btw, what's a cobbler?

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Don't worry, Brinn. I'm also an American, so you're not alone.

And I think I can bring Isabell back, bringing the grand total to three!

*points up* Hooray, Miggy is playing!

...you will die by a terrible painful death

I suggest you look at some older thread where the rules are explained more in detail... maybe at the beginning of the normal WW thread - the one called just "Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of the Werewolves)". Not everything is there, though.

The cobbler is a person who is in every aspect a normal villager, except that he wants the baddies to win, even if it were to cost his life. He does not know who the baddies are, though, so he has to try to find out who they are and help them the best he can (either by providing cover, or just wreaking havoc all around the place, or at least by getting himself lynched instead of one of them).

OK, I'm giving in and signing up. Who needs a good degree anyway?

[Naria]

As promised, I will join in your game Lommy! Oh, and I'll vote for 3pm.

We do, Kath dear! Don't give in!

Oh fine, I might as well make it a start-of-term tradition. Please put me down with a question mark. I hate you, Lommy.

Wait - cobbler AND lovers? Ooof, tough game.

[Thinlómien]

Welcome, TM, Kath, Naria and Lhuna! Great to see you here.

Looks very promising this far!

I have some hopes of actually gathering enough players for a bit bigger game. Yay! (But don't worry, even if there was enough people willing to play, this will not become a megalomanic Dueling Wizards -type of game, I don't want more than 20 or 21 players, 15-18 would be ideal... We'll see.)

TM - I'm going to explain all the rules in post but I'm not sure when I will write it (I might do it just before the start of the game) so if you want to be clear on these things before that, I suggest you check the Tol-in-Gaurhoth -thread (just like Legate said).

Lhuna - I know. If I hadn't already decided to give out the roles randomly, I'd make you a lover just for fun.

We'll see how this goes. I hope you get to play - I could assign you some very nasty role! A pity I decided to give them out randomly...
