Hehe. It didn't take a lot of persuasion...

I actually noticed Pitch was going to run a game but somehow I forgot about it in the Christmas-business. So why not - especially when there is something like a decent deadline on offer for a change.

PS. I also like the concept. Nice idea Pitch!

Pitchwife asks nicely, but my verdict is still uncertain - I have another week of daily Father Christmas Letters posts to write, and I'm not sure I can play WW with the limited time I have to invest. (If the game continues until Jan. 13, I would miss a day or two completely because I'll be away.) Still, I'm not saying "no" yet...

Esty, please please please play! If you sign up I'll be in no matter what, screw RL. Please?

Tonight I will make a sacrifice to the great skwerls of old, in hopes that they will compel Esty to play in this game.

And if not, I have one coming up soon anyway.

I could definitely play this week, but as I said, next week's going to be horrible for leisure time.

So unless we start within the next day or two, I'll have to sit this out.

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-01-2012, 03:43 PM

I guess I was asking to be persuaded, wasn't I?!

Well, since you asks and even begs, and since I said I'd play *one* online game after the live game at Finmoot, I will join in this one. The European time deadline is good for me, and as long as I can take off the day or two I'm away without internet access, I shall endeavour to do my inexperienced best. The sooner the game starts, the better for me - January 21 is the last day I can play. After that, I am no longer available.

Galadriel55 · 01-01-2012, 03:54 PM

YAY!!!

I guess that means I'm in as well.

Pitchwife · 01-02-2012, 10:09 AM

Yesss! *punches the air*

Welcome on board, Esty, and thanks for the honour to have you playing! Your day off should be no problem, as you've given fair warning (and if you're lucky, it'll fall into a Night phase, but if so I advise against commenting on the fact at any length in the game; G55 can tell a story of that

). And I still hope the game will take off and end before the 21st so you won't have to withdraw; or in the worst case, maybe the other side will see fit to arrange an honorable demise for you.

Great to have you too, Nog, and thanks for the news about Lommy, Greenie; I've put her down with a question mark for now.

Zil, I've removed you from the players list for now, as I don't see the game starting in time for you. If your schedule eases unexpectedly, I'll gladly put you in again, but if not, it can't be helped. I'd have loved to have you playing, but it's OK, we all know RL can be a jealous goddess at times. Same to you, Eönwë.

G55, I've removed your question mark; I trust you're responsible enough to judge whether you can play or not.

Looking at the list now, we're still at least two players short, even if all remaining question marks can play. I'll try to think of a few more people to ask, and maybe I can bother you, sally, to twist an arm or two for me; I've heard you're quite good at it.

If we start with a village of 12 (which seems to be the best we can hope for), I'd like to hear some opinions on what I should do with Mablung and Damrod. I like the roles as they are now, but maybe four gifteds would be a little too much in such a small village. What do you think?
