Most certainly my dear Saucepanman,
Retraceable Votes,
Double-Lynchings,
Nightly Kills,
Nightly Seer dreams and well the usual stuff.
I haven't decided on the time yet but since theres quite a vast time difference between here and there, if the deadline is after 6pm EST then the death's will have to be posted by Glirdan. (I'll write them though. )

As for the roles,
3 Wolves,
2 Seers, (if we have enough players. I'll explain how it works below)
1 Ranger,
1 Hunter,
1 Mytho,
Normal Villagers

Heres how the two Seers work. Just like the wolves they contact each other at night and discuss what they think at the end they must decide on ONE person to dream of. If one of the Seer's dies his role isn't yet over because after that ONCE at any time he wants (during night) he may contact the living Seer and reveal the identity of ONE wolf. (The mod will give him any wolves name at random). As in, appearing before the Seer in ghostly form to tell him about his death.

Of course if that doesn't sound like a good idea we'll go with the normal 1 Seer and mayhap add in a Cursed Villager.

Sleepy - When I referred to signing up, I was referring to signing up as a mod... my nerves aren't up to playing at the moment.

Wow Sleepy, that sounds interesting. I personally think it would be a cool idea.

But one question. When one of the Seers dies and he can reveal a wolf to the other Seer, can he reveal that wolf to the other Seer the Night right after his death, or does he have to wait a certain amount of Nights?

Anyway, great idea, can't wait to see how that works.

Whenever. He could wait till theres just one wolf left but by then the wolf he knows may be dead, so its a gamble.

I suppose we can't start on 26th, because we just don't have enough players...

Mithalwen pointed out the absurdity of this situation on the other Tol-in-Gaurhoth thread. I'm signing up, in an attempt to win back my honourable reputation before I mod myself...I hope that helps.

And I like the two Seers idea, Sleepy.

I shouldn't really be doing this...but never mind. Oaths ye have taken!

Wow!! At the rate people are siging up for this, I might reconsider being backup mod and being a player instead!! It seems like you really need players. So, if you want, u can get someone else to be backup mod and I'll be a player. If it comes down to a desperate situation I mean.
