Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves)

[Kuruharan]

The werewolves (almost) always win. So if we keep the werewolves ordinary a few more games, the Ordos will have a better chance catching up with the Three Stoogies.

I don't think you're looking at this quite right. The issue (if you think it is an issue) is that we tend to be better as the Three than as Ordos (whether the Ordos be villagers or werewolves). Just making the werewolves ordinary for a few more games will not fix the "issue" at hand. It is just window dressing. The heart of the game is three conspirators vs. everybody else. The context (or if you prefer "the chrome") doesn't really matter to the true dynamic of the game. What that does is make people want to read it for the story.

When is the next game starting?

Hopefully, after the New Year.

Or maybe we could try even new roles? say, as Orcs might have been 'created' from tortured elves, perhaps a party of orcs got into an elven town? then we'd have maybe Eol as the cobbler, Glorfindel as the ranger, Elrond as the hunter and Galadriel as the seer?

Keeping in line with the whole idea of role reversal:

I think the newest one should be The Inklings vs. the Science and Math(s) Department. *mock horror* The location would clearly be Oxford, and other than that I'll leave it up to those who know more about Tolkien's peers than I.

And who's modding the next game?

Go Science You 'Arts' students have to write an essay and cry like a baby... well, even though they are shorter, I have to write (usually more than one) pre-lab exercise, do the lab, write a lab report and if that wasn't enough, a lab exam!!! [/END_RANT]

Thank you

Please pardon! I meant no offense, in fact I didn't (and don't) expect it to be taken seriously by anyone. It was just a new twist on our old game.

None taken! I was just joking around.... every course of studies has its challenges, but as most of my friends are taking arts, I get to rant against them :P no offense meant by my rant either!!

I was just trying to be a conspiracy theorist. Maybe we work better as villains (in the perspective of the Free Peoples of Middle-earth), whatever the explanation for that is. In any case, perhaps it's worth a try.
