Eye so far....

The slots are slowly filling. There are still a couple, though. Are there any experienced players out there who want to have a bit of fun?

This village is in Beleriand, during the First Age (in Brethil, specifically). Pick an appropriate occupation please. You can be in character during the game if you choose. The primary purpose of your occupations will be to be provide fodder for the narrative.

Those who I have accepted into the village- you may post. You may greet the village and introduce yourself, and you may ask general questions about the rules. If you have a sensitive question or concern, pm me.

No, I'm probably not going to have a seperate admin thread. Any discussion/announcements/etc. once the game begins will be handled via pm.

Greetings, I'm mormegil. I new to the downs so here's a little bit about me. My favorite color is blue, I like music and stuff. Reading is also nice. I look forward to a fun, fair, game where we attack and kill each other.

What time does each day and night start? This could be a big problem for me if I decide to join this lovely village.

Sorry, but it's too late for "if". By posting on the thread you have cemented your name on my list. So, I hope the time ends up working out for you. If not, then I'll just have to kill you off in the Night 1 narrative.

I'm on to you Shastanis... mauling proper, upstanding villagers like Morm on day 1 won't do at all. You ought to know that Morm must be mauled on day 3 or later, based on poorly developed theories that, basically, say that Morm is too smart and thus a liability. You ought to be a wolf!!

Oh, what? we hav- ah.... oopsies! Well, guess I'm playing!

Me? A Wolf? Capital W? Oh, no sir. You've got me all wrong. This is... uh... A fur coat! It's winter, after all! My teeth? Uhm... Dentures. An early-Christmas gag gift. Yeah. My ears? ....Earmuffs! Earmuffs that are shaped like wolf ears. Aren't they cute? ...Tail? What tail?! I don't have a tail! YOU'D BETTER NOT MENTION MY TAIL AGAIN. WHAARGARBLSHNARF *eats Farael*

Keep that up Shasta and I promise not to vote you on Day1...

Valier had no chance to show her qualities in the last game after a long break... maybe we should give her a chance this time? Or maybe because of that tp will assign her to a role of a werewolf and we'd need to get rid of her a.s.a.p. before she manages to sidetrack and confuse us totally with her hunches?

I remember the game I already voted for her on the last Day but then changed it to the downfall of us all... So nasty and so dear memories... I quess Farael remebers that one too...

Hello, everyone. I see the village is already in a state of paranoia. Excellent.

Dear Phantomex,

I will be the person who cleans up after all the animals. This is not actually a "role." It's who I am.

Yrs Trly,
Diamond
