From my rather shoddy track record at voting right after the deadline and having an annoying time zone, I guess I will have to agree to this, except I don't like the idea of making the modfire too complicated.
Our game already is more confusing than a Sim's neighbourhood , so if strong modfire is agreed upon I am fine with it. Only thing I might add is that the modfire remain on completely outside-of-game terms and unaffected by bandwagons (i.e. it doesn't become a tool), such as in the case of someone only posting once a day to say they'll be gone and never returning before deadline, or no posting throughout. Though I'm sure the modfire will stay pretty straight forward.

I dunno if I've confirmed any of my role information, but I'm good to go and everything seems more or less in order.
Okay, off to study for finals...

Before I post the final family chart (because I am not doing it again), here are some things I'd like to check up on:

Ages: Eonwe and Durelin- how old?

Professions: Celuien, Morm, Kitanna, Kath, and Eonwe- do have jobs and if so, what are they?

Daiting: Any other couples I should know about? Lovers, perhaps?

Everyone, please be sure to review the last chart I posted and double check to make sure everything is correct for you.

I had planned to claim lonely goat herder, but opted not to since Legate and phantom are already sheep herders. So everyone village, town, city, place with two houses in it, needs a tavern wench. Gladly shall I fill that role.

Ooh you're right Roa, I don't have a role. Hmm, I can't think of anything. If anyone wants to give me one please do! Or you Roa if you need to get that chart finished.

Me: "Yeah."

I feel honoured. Perhaps my role should be perenially suspicious person.

Nog, two technical things: first, given the age of me and my sisters, perhaps you should remove my label as "big" brother, because I am younger than both of them. Unless it's meant physically. Which... well, why not. At least you won't have to change anything.

But second, a question: I suppose even the people like Ranger will be informed, when they post their pick to the GW and it's changed, that it has been changed and who was protected, right? Like, I am a Ranger, want to protect Volo, my GW chooses that I will rather protect Greenie, so I will be informed that I protected Greenie (even if nothing happens during the night which should concern me)? It's only logical, but asking just to be certain (and because it means giving the Gifteds at least a confirmation of what they have done all night).

My daughter, a tavern wench? Why couldn't you be a respectable apprentice like your sister?

If we have a tavern wench, then we likely need a tavern, and thus a tavern owner. There's a job for anyone who can't think of something.

Wasn't Kath still without an occupation and not having too many ideas about it? I could see her as the tavern owner... and think about how she and Brinn might have then met and how, or at least think what the villagers would talk about it!

A few days to the beginning!

I'll try to make some extra fun by providing a small map of the village if I have time so that you can relate to the narrations and possibly use it in your own posting as well.

And btw. even if all this relations-stuff and all strongly suggests something like roleplaying nothing of the sort is required. All these things are here just for the fun of it (just think of all this discussion here already - and the game hasn't even started yet!) and possibly helping us to have a more enjoyable Day1. And surely to help me with the narrations even if this is admittedly getting a bit complicated. But who wouldn't love a challenge?

Oh no, how could you? Now that you've mentioned it and I do in fact have too much time on my hands, I'm actually considering creating the neighbourhood myself...

Would you add Eomer into the chart as Cailín's husband? He will be in the narration of Night1 and if he will actually play as well in a situation when Cailín can't it would be nice to have him on board there as well.

And a minor correction: Gwath is a highwayman but his brother McCaber is a henchman. So they are not both highwaymen.

Ah! That's brilliant. Alright, I'll take tavern owner if that alright with my life partner. Brinn's occupation should run alongside mine quite nicely that way.
