Werewolf XLII, Mist in the Barrow Downs

[Roa_Aoife]

You forgot Nerwen. She signed up to play with out a question mark. Post #36.

[Rikae]

I think I'll sign up, if I still can.
At least then I get to mention that, as someone who's learning German, the title of this game makes me snicker every time I read it!

Let's just hope that in this case the name isn't omen.

Farael, you still have Volo in the list.

Rikae and Aganzir, you're evil - you forced me to find a web dictionary and look that up. Are you content now, huh? I must say that German people give ugly meanings for beautiful words - and vice versa, from the little German I know.

And I guess I might have to be slightly absent during Day1 too... but I'll be there.

Isn't it 3 PM GMT I think?

And I think three wolves would be fine, whether there are 13 (like now) or 15 players.

Ach, 3 PM GMT (see why I like using MY timezone?)

Ok, official list again

Aganzir
Legate
Nogrod
Lommy
McCaber
Sally
Gwathagor
A Little Green
Macalaure
Nerwen
Meneltarmacil
Rikae
Shasta

That's 13 players. I guess due to popular vote we'll go with three wolves and a seer. I'd much rather have 15 players if we're gonna have 3 wolves, so if you can think of anyone else to bug into joining the game, do bug them.

After a lengthy discussion, the mist seemed to return, thicker than ever. There was no sound other than the voices of the participants on this ‘new’ kind of game designed by the Dungeon Master

-“GAME Master” Said Thinlomien. Rikae began to answer “Well, in German it would actually be..” but she was cut-off by a guttural voice that seemed to raise from the soil itself

-“Silence you fools do you not recognize death when you see it?”

-“Well, not to be difficult, but it is hard to see much in this mist. “ said a voice, but no-one seemed to recognize Macalaure speaking.

-“Does anyone have a cookie? I am starving over here” added Farael seemingly oblivious to the supposed dark, threatening ambience that the D/GM was trying to establish.

-“Well” said the voice “You leave me no other choice... It seems you will not be quiet on your own” and began to chant

Stiff be limbs and cold be bone

Dead the heart and flesh of stone

Gather all ‘round my dark throne

Speak no more, light be-gone

And right there and then a deep sleepiness overcame all of them. With one last mighty effort of will, Farael summoned all his remaining and quickly waxing strength to mutter “creepy...” but all the others were fast asleep and did not hear him say so.

Night 1 has started Please, do not post on this thread until the beginning of Day 1

Game information:

Three wolves

One Seer

No other game-relevant roles. No twists. No double-lynches (in case of a tie, the one to be lynched will be chosen by a coin toss).

Should me and Roa fail to be around for the Deadline (3 PM GMT) posting will be allowed, but no late votes (going by the time-stamps on the posts) will be accepted. Announcements (such as “I’m going to miss Day x “ or “Sorry I missed voting on day z, my dog ate... Farael :S We got him out, but now he’s rambling-mad. Well, even more than before) should be made on this thread.

Behaviour that the co-mods decide may affect the enjoyment of the game by other players will not be accepted and the player will be warned first and removed if the behaviour continues. A clear example would be an unexplained, prolonged lack of participation, but any other behaviour that may disrupt the game will be addressed.

If you have not received a PM with a role when you read this, you are an ordo. Please make sure you are set as invisible throughout the duration of the game.

Wolves, you may PM to each other and plot. Half werewolves do not get to PM each other. Being a half-werewolf does not ensure that you cannot be another role (i.e. one can be a half-werewolf and a "werewolf" at the same time... or half-werewolf and Seer.)

Finally, Seer and Wolves, before the end of the Night, send both me and Roa your chosen kills/dreams (the Seer gets a dream tonight, but the wolves do not get a kill)

You are co-mod here, you could've just posted an updated list sheesh kids these days. Though I'm pretty sure I'm younger than you.

*ahem* anyway,

The new, updated list with 200% more Nerwen

Aganzir
Legate
Volo
Nogrod
Lommy
McCaber
Sally
Gwathagor
A Little Green
Macalaure
Nerwen
Meneltarmacil
Rikae
Shasta?

Which if I'm not mistaken means we have 13 1/2 players. As to my promise earlier, that means that we'll have 1 1/2 half-werewolves. These characters are just like ordos in every way or fashion, essentially they are there for write-up purposes.

It also means that we have enough for two wolves and a ranger (no seer, no hunter, no crazy roles). If we get to 15 before friday morinng I may decide to add another wolf and a Seer.

The game will start on Friday, February 8th at 9 AM Central Time, or 1 PM GMT

So if there's anyone else looking to join, now's the proper time to do it!

[Meneltarmacil]

With 15 players, I'd suggest three wolves. As I recall, there were only about 12 players in Werewolf I, and that game had three wolves and a Seer.

Not to step on the mod's toes, mind you.

EDIT: Oops, misread the original post. I still think we could manage three wolves with only 13 players, but it would be tricky. With 14, we should certainly be able to get three wolves though.

[Farael]

No toe-stepping! This game is ultimately supposed to be fun for the players. I'll have my mod-fun whether we have 5 wolves or 1. So if you folks have any ideas or concerns, do voice them.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I suppose I'll go ahead and commit, if you're dithering whether or not to add a third wolf. :P

[Thinlómien]

I think we should have one more wolf. I'm afraid it will be too easy and non-challenging if we have only two culprits to catch (and I'm of course concerned that if I had the bad luck of ending up being a wolf I'd rather have two companions than one ).

And that will be Night 1, right? So Day 1 starts on Saturday. That means I am probably not going to be able to post on Day 1 much, if at all (see my post above).
