Admin thread for WW: LXXXV - The Lost Philosophers of Maiar

[Nogrod]

Sorry Sally & Inzil... I must have forgotten to update the thread. It's done now. Welcome. Any others I have forgotten to add in?

Mänwe, Legate of Amon Lanc, Thinlómien and Valier, what date would be fine for you to begin? Prolonged D/N -cycle over the New Year, first Night during the New Year? Only starting after New Year?

I'd like to see the Christmas to pass before locking the game as I think many will not check the 'Downs during these few days.

[Nogrod]

Eomer, are you ready to sport the possibility Ossë will die - or are you just so confident you will survive?

I was thinking about some Maiar unknown to the rest of the history just because there is a grave possibility many of them will die with the experiments. But it's your choice, of course...

(Heh, Thales would be a nice match, making a fortune before dying just for a show-off )


Everyone, come up with an occupation to a Maia the history won't tell us about - or pick a known one... whichever you find more fun to play.

[Valier]

You guys made me actually laugh out loud with the psychic comments. Thanks I'm not so sure my skills will be as good as they use to, I found playing with a bunch of the same people makes it much easier to read them after awhile. Adding new players and my long absence from ww will make this one interesting for me. It is so nice to see old faces playing in this game.

I totally miss the heart pounding minutes right before a crucial vote, me as a wolf trying SOOOOO hard to sway the votes in my favor to win the game... nearly having a heartattack when it actually works, or just knowing someone is a wolf, but not being able to explain why I feel that way, as I bite my fingernails watching everyone think I'm therefore the wolf.....ahh the good ole days

This sounds like an interesting game premise Noggie, I'll have to take a bit of time to come up with an occupation though. As for starting date ummm anytime after Jan 4th is good for me, I've got company till then but other than that I'm good.

I heard that Lommy and Legate would be more than fine with something around the same date... But as not to keep everyone waiting, we could begin the game around New Year, maybe taking a prolonged Night and Day there to begin with? Like Night1 starts with the New Year and lasts for 36 hours - and then D1 takes another 36 hours. From that we'd continue in a normal 24-hour cycles?

Unless a host of you who have already signed in feel your time will run short if we postpone the beginning to the New Year?

I'll try to come up with the game thread and a teaser on Monday or Tuesday...


PS. Hey Valier, don't be too modest! You were a freaking great wolf (I should remember that... ) but your ability to spot the wolves was more or less magical - at least it was against all the odds or probabilities. But like you say, new people around, new games, new times... so no pressure!

As an occupation, I think I'm a vassal of Námo, serving as a warden in Mandos.

Put me in charge of silicon & static electricity.

Ah, I see. Okay, I'll be an associate of Osse. My speciality will be lochs and ponds. I have a great alliance with frogs.

The game thread with a "teaser-trailer" is on and can be found from here. The rules and stuff will be posted there hopefully tomorrow (I have lost electricity from my home so I can't do anything involving electrical instruments this evening at home). Unless strong protests appear we'll begin around New Year - with prolonged N1 & D1.

The "occupations" have been updated so far. Come up with them all you haven't done that thus far. It is not mandatory, but it might help me with the narrations (and you with the banter in the early stages of D1).

If we count all the "maybe's" as in, we'd now have 18 players. That would mean three gifteds (seer, ranger, hunter), three wolves and a cobbler. If we get to twenty I'll introduce a fourth wolf.

The question concerning this is the following: if we have four wolves, should they have double kills as long as they are four, or not? I'm initially against the double-Night-kills but will be persuaded if the majority thinks it a good idea.

Lately I haven't had the ability and time to play the games as I'd like to, which is depressing as it feels like a big let down. However, if you need a fresh and able corpse Nog, sign me up, and I shall do my best. However, if you're already set at the player list, you can just pretend this post does not exist.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

No double kills please!

[Valier]

ummm how about for a occupation...a handmaiden of Yavanna, I collect the morning dew from the petals of flowers.

I also say no double kills!!
