Yes we do indeed. And Seer gets a dream Night 1.

Nogrod · 01-09-2010, 06:23 PM

Just caught a glimpse of a R&R Hall of Fame concert from the telly and Bruce was playing. Between two songs he said something like "If Woody Guthrie lived today he'd have a lot to write about..."

How true.

Starting with a Night-phase I think is the norm - letting the wolves to plot a bit before the actual game begins - and I think oftentimes the seers are given a dream also on N1. But that all depends on the general set-up and the particular wishes of the mod.

But is the line-up accurate? With only 11 players I think three wolves is quite a tough ratio - or even with 12. But the more reasons for the seer to get a dream on N1(heh, I will curse calling for this if I turn out a wolf

).

And so good to see you Glirdan! It has been actually years, in plural, yes. Hi, and welcome man!

In Sally's game there were 20ish players and 6 wolves, and I'm pretty sure we (the wolves) lost

. So I think this village can handle 3 wolves, especially with 3 gifteds and the whole lovers dynamic. It's going to be interesting though.

Oh, and invisible mode soon everyone, just incase anyone has forgotten.

I'm so anxious to get started, haha, haven't played in a while and I have very little in RL to worry about this week so it'll be perfect, especially since the Day phases are on my days off from school!!!

Were there that many? But that I think was a most exceptional game in many ways...

The normal ratio I think is like 13-16/17 and three wolves; 17/18+ and four wolves - not taking account of some particular rules that make a major twist on the issue (Like more wolves spawned during the game, really game-changing roles added on top of the normal from the beginning etc.).

But no problem. Let's go with three wolves if we wish. I'm not opposing it as such. I was just wondering if it was unintentional.

I'll play with whichever rules are given. The mod is the God on these issues.

Thanks for calling out for the invisibility-issue. *goes on to turn invisible*

I think I'm just going to stick with three wolves and hope for the best.

Glirdan, I'm switching you over to Magic Rat because I'm cutting Wild Billy altogether.

Gwathagor · 01-09-2010, 07:33 PM

And Autume98, I'm afraid we're going to have to start without you. My next week is very busy and I'd like to get this thing going in advance of that.

Here's some songs to listen to. Consider it homework.

Gwathagor · 01-09-2010, 09:27 PM

Last minute character shuffling has taken place. Please take note. (Glirdan, you're back to Wild Billy - sorry about that).

Gwathagor · 01-09-2010, 09:30 PM

I want to remind everyone that the names I've used for the various roles (highwayman, foreman, etc.) are generic in terms of what gender they denote. That is, any of the roles can be either male or female.

Gwathagor · 01-09-2010, 10:01 PM

The roles have been sent out. Please make sure you are in invisible mode.

Gwathagor · 01-09-2010, 10:03 PM

Oh crap! I forgot downs time is an hour ahead. Um, the game has begun! I will create the game thread immediately. Throughout the game WE WILL BE GOING BY DOWNS TIME. Baddies and lovers, commence PMing. Dreamer, please send me a dream.

Uh, there is no "Downs Time". If you go to your personal options (same place you go to go on invisible mode, but further down the page) you can change the time to your time zone, so that the time that shows on the posts matchs your time.

Like for me that last post of yours that I just quoted shows up as being posted at 11:03 PM.

Glirdan · 01-14-2010, 07:03 AM

Ummm...now I'm confused....did Morsul have more votes then I did at the end of the Day? I seem to recall having 2 and him and Shasta each with three.....or am I delusional?? If so, somebody point this out to me. Or something. I'm not complaining, I'm just genuinely confused.....

The Hunter in this game was illogical, meaning if they were lynched, their pick goes down with them when they're lynched regardless of their pick's wolf, innocent or evil.
