Sign me up. I hope it is not too late. For me the 11 pm est deadline works best. Also I think adding a cobbler would be a good idea.

Not to late at all Hakon, come on in. Yes I will probably add an evil role...maybe a cobbler, but may I ask if you are familiar with the 'cursed innocent?'

It's been used a couple times. The cursed is an ordo (and counts as an innocent), but doesn't know he/she is cursed. If the wolves pick that person to kill than the cursed gets changed into a wolf. If the cursed dies from a lynching, than all that will be revealed from the death was an ordo had been killed.

I can fit either the cobbler, or cursed, into the game premise, so let me know what you think.

The cobbler is so much more fun! The cursed is boring...just a boring ordo unless he/she is chosen as a kill, and then they're just a boring wolf... The cobbler is a being of mayhem...sometimes subtle, often not....

Oh heck, well. Yes. If there's still room in the line-up, count me in, and dang real life!
I suppose I can manage the 11pm deadline, if everybody else can live with me having to vote about 6 hours early. The survey will be tough - I don't feel like I know any of you others well enough to answer that, but I'll try.
As this looks like it's gonna be quite a big team, I'm very much for adding a cobbler or cursed (or both?).

Oh yes - and may I introduce myself: Studebaker Hawk, at your service, with the ability to fly by covering my pants with maple syrup in order to attract millions of flies which will then lift me up in the air. (Don't ask what happens when all the syrup has been devoured...)

Hooray for the later deadline! As for the Europeans, any of them too foolish to move to the U.S. to do my cooking and housework for me, deserve a bad WW deadline.

I also vote for a cobbler AND a cursed. Or a cursed cobbler? Cobbler lovers? Cobbler seer alpha wolf weaver? Or perhaps a random undisclosed evil role?

Both of ye are added, and I will now close the sign-ups. I'll wait for confirmation from tp and Greenie, if neither of them can go than someone can take their place, but I'm set with the number.

Talk about an interesting power...I'm not sure if that's really a power, or you're just a guy who loves syrup.

Do the best, you can use a name more than once.

That's good, I love funny word play. (Wilwa came up with The Dark Monarch...ahh love it! )

Edit: crossed with Rikae.

I can certainly add both...I was thinking about trying to come up with some alternative lover role, or bringing back a shirriff type role. But the shirriffs really weren't that interesting, and for my first game...even if I'm getting much needed help from wilwa, I want to try and keep it simple for myself. Than if I decide to mod again, you may see some different roles.

So right now there's 17...by adding a cobbler and cursed, that will bring 5 gifteds, 2 'special' ordos, and 10 regular ordos. There's more than I expected, we could probably add a hunter too.

What is the shiriff role and who is the second special ordo? I know the first would be the cursed villager.

The Cobbler, who I place under the tally of ordos, because he is just an ordo but one who wants the villains to win. Also, this cobbler will be able to try and discover some villains. The traditional role of the Cobbler is to not know who any wolves are, nor anyone's role, but just to cause confusion and have the wolves win.
