Just do not let that concern you too much. I think the game itself can easily make you forget such "outside" things, as you will have more pressing matters to concentrate on - whether about catching Wolves or trying to prevent yourself from being caught...

Can't help feeling ever so slightly curious about this Ozzy person too...

When is this set to get started anyway? Or are we waiting for more players?

Well Lommy said we'd probably start on Sunday, if we had around 14 signed up and ready. There's 13 now, that's a good number for a standard game.

Thumbs up

But but Boro! I want 14 people because I think a village of 13 having a cobbler is not a very fair thing (although, I will make the cobbler a little less powerful mwahahaa) and we all want to have a cobbler, don't we?

That means I still want one more player. Come on lurkers! You know you want to play.

And this message is also to say welcome Greenie and Pitchwife.

I think we'll be starting Night1 tomorrow whether we have 14 players or not then we just don't have a cobbler. If our cobbler appears in the next 9h though, Night1 will start already today...

Now off to sketch rules and/or narrations (what would be a better way to avoid studying for Wednesday's exam...)

Okay, the rules are up. They are found in the first post of the thread. (The cobbler rules are in parentheses because it's not clear yet whether we'll have one or not.)

Eönwë - I still need an occupation from you.

Stalkers, we still need one more player if we want to have a cobbler.

Good girl! Welcome Wilwa (and cobbler).

Means we start today (eeks, does that mean I have to start writing the first narration at some point?), in some 6+ hours. Since I'm about now off to paint for a few hours, it might be the Night is slightly shorter than usual but we'll see.

Yay, now I'm getting excited.

If there's still somebody out there who wants to play, you have 6 hours and 15 minutes to do it.

Oh, Wilwa and Eönwë, unless you come up with descriptions for yourselves in the next 1,5h I'm going to make you both professional hunters (and you'll have to come up with the details later).

Still about that 1,5h if there's somebody out there who wants to join. Night1 starts in 2 hours, I'm currently writing the opening narration.

The thread is up and Night1 has begun.

Remember to turn yourselves invisible, and enjoy the game!

The roles have been sent now. If you didn't get one, please PM me. I think you all got one, though.

And just realised the phrasing of Ozban's "occupation" is rather funny... wonder if I should change it.

PS. And Boro will be modfired if he still comments on my flood-posting on this thread!

Two things I want to say before anything gets misleading -

1) All the gifteds will be referred to the narrations as "she"s and all the wolves as "he"s. This was decided already before any roles were given out, so no use basing any conclusions on it. In case I accidentally deviate from this, I don't take any responsibility on your basing any kind of conclusions on it.

2) If Agan seems to be hovering around somehow related to this game and commenting on stuff, it's because she is the unofficial co-ish-mod-ish. This also explains her comments on some role PMs you got. Please refrain discussing her comments on your role PMs though - that is just as much forbidden as quoting something like "Your ww role: you are a wolf alongside with x and y." or discussing the content of the PMs like "Lommod comforted us poor ordos by saying our role is her personal favourite". If she said something incredibly funny (which I doubt she did) you can send her a PM to congratulate her on her excellence or say it in the aftergame.
