Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Wait, now I see what you mean!

I could start the first DAY today, but that means I have some additional writing to finish. The wolves also might've hesitated till I started the NIGHT to speak with each other, so starting DAY today would give them little time for planning. I think I'll stick with the time I planned for.

Don't worry if you can't post much. You can post an excuse on this thread if you want, so the other players know what's going on.

PS If somebody can come up with a better name than Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIV: Saga-nu-Falmar, please please tell me!

I, personally, would recommend NOT changing timing and all that, since people have been planning their lives, etc, based on the previous timing, and its pretty short notice to change.

Meanwhile, how about "Quenta-nu-Falmar". I've no idea exactly how correct that is in Quenya, but "Quenta" is used in the "saga" sort of context in the "Quenta Silmarillion".

Perhaps "Quenta Falmarrion" would work?

I don't know... Speak Quenya I do not.

How about: Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIV: Nyárë Nauroron Númenoreva? It means Saga of the Werewolves of Numenor. Ardalambion gives nyárë as a word for tale or saga, and is related to Sindarin narn. Nauroron, means "of werewolves", but sounds a bit strange to me. And Númenoreva is "of Numenor."

Overall I like the alliteration.

PS At the time I'm editing this, NIGHT 1 will start in 3 hours.

NIGHT 1 has now begun! Please only post on this thread to notify us of absences. DAY 1 will start in 24 hours. The game is here: Tol-in-Gaurhoth XIV: Nyárë Nauroron Númenoreva

And I've also decided that the Hunter is not one of the Elendili, but is just an exceptionally strong hunter capable of killing werewolves. Just wait for my death in the morning for everything to be explained.

I notice that you stated that the werewolves win if the number of werewolves and the cobbler is greater than or equal to the number of villagers. I'm just wondering if this is an intentional change or if it's not just me overanalyzing.

Alcarillo · 12-03-2005, 11:16 PM

Overanalyzing.

I thought it was like that

, but I'll change it to: werewolves win if there are as many werewolves as villagers, if that's how games are usually played.

Thank you, but I should point out that, logistically, your way works. But I'll not get into that. Shutting up.
