I can only hope! I would have joined, but I only have four waking hours where I'm not working and I can play. That's hardly fair to other players.

Well that's just terrible. Some higher power seems to have taken an interest in ruining this particular game . . .

Or maybe all the players with compatible schedules are put off by the unconventional roles. Eh, either way.

Many who would probably otherwise be interested are presently involved with Finlandmoot, apparently.

Anyone know of some arms to twist?

I say try my lovely little butterfly, Vanilwamuffin She may be able to join.

And on a slightly upsetting note, I may have to withdraw for the time being. Unless you are planning on starting after this weekend as I will have absolutely no internet access from Friday till Monday night as I am going out of town for my cousins wedding. If you start next week, I'm in, but as of right now, I don't think it's fair to everyone if I'm gone for four days (and besides, that usually ends in a modfiring anyways

). It your call miss Moddess

Folwren · 08-08-2011, 05:52 PM

Well, it doesn't look like I can start tomorrow, anyway, so don't draw out just yet, Mr. Glirdan.

I'll try Wilwarin. I've already attempted writing some others.

How long is the Finlandmoot lasting?

-- Foley

Edit...Wilwarin is who you were refering to, right?

Glirdan · 08-08-2011, 10:10 PM

Hahaha, yes it was

Rikae · 08-09-2011, 03:30 AM

Foley - people will be returning from Finlandmoot over the next few days (though the last are staying until the 14th), I think. I just got back and would love to play in your game!

All right, officer, I'll come quietly... after a night of sleep and getting over emotional jetlag.

There's a good fellow. All it takes is a bit of "persuasion".

Galadriel55 · 08-11-2011, 02:53 PM

Yay Pitch!!!

That means we have all 15 if Mith plays.

Folwren · 08-11-2011, 03:03 PM

Ha. I have FINALLY gotten around to reading the thread and figuring out how exactly I want this game to go. A lot of people raised some really good questions and pointed out some good stuff in the first days of this thread.

So...here's what I'm thinking.

The Sweetheart will be a player who is appointed the role at the beginning of the game, along with everybody else. However, she shall not take her place as the sweetheart until she has identified the King's Dwarf. She does this by sending in two names each night to me. I will only reply, "This person is not the KD" or "This person is the KD". As soon as she has identified him, he is aware of who she is. Then, if the Forge members decide to kill the sweetheart during the night, the KD will die in her place.

In addition, I have decided to CHANGE THE RULE CONCERNING THE KD'S DEATH being the end of the game if killed at night.

If the KD is killed at night purposefully by the Forges, the Sweetheart will also be killed, but the game will not end.

There is another part I'm thinking about with the Sweetheart, but I almost want it to be a secret for only the KD and the Sweetheart to know about. How do you all feel concerning that? I will tell you that it involves communication between the KD and the Sweetheart during the night phase, and it involves the Watchdwarf and saving people. I just don't want to put out the where and how information.

At no point in time can the King's Dwarf reveal his identity.

Did I cover everything? Any holes that anybody can see? I will now go back and edit the first post so all this is in a more concise form.

And Thank you, Pitchwife, for joining us!

Sign up is still open for anybody who wishes to join. We will probably start Saturday or Sunday. I'm leaning towards Saturday.

Galadriel55 · 08-11-2011, 03:10 PM

Thank you Foley! I just want to clarify this: if the KD is killed/lynched, does the game continue regardless of the circumstances? Unless wolves=innocents in number...
