And for my profession... Hmm. An island, eh? In that case, I shall be a mermaid-catcher and fisherman.

Hmm if no one has any objections then I shall be the deluded girl who believes she is a mermaid. For various reasons I think this role would be perfectly suited for me right now.

The player list is looking great! Too bad Nilp decided to join again, though.

Just a suggestion / question Menel: in a village with over 15 innocents and an Apprentice, I think you really should consider adding a Cursed as well, lest the game should become unbalanced. Of course, it is all up to you in the end. And, if the Ranger or Hunter dies, will the Apprentice also take over the Shiriff part of the role?

Just don't start speaking in Scottish Gaelic and we'll be fine

I'll be the local investigator into the paranormal (and yes that role may have something to do with X-files magazine sitting right next to me!).

Yes, the Apprentice will take over the Shirriff part as well.

As for adding a Cursed, I suppose I could do that at 18 villagers instead of 20. We currently have 16, so neither the Cursed nor the Apprentice will be in the game unless at least two more sign up. Even if the limit of 20 is reached, though, there will be no Bear.

For occupations, and if we're on an island, I'd rather like being someone who (fairly) recently washed ashore...Perhaps my boat had a bad time in a storm, perhaps I went out for a swim, perhaps I fell from the moon...and perhaps I was just stretched for ideas.

Don't worry, Cailín (of the Rohirrim?), I'll be good and non-suicidal . . .

. . . if I'm a Werewolf. Otherwise, forget it.

I'd like to play in another ww game, butArry has started a new rpg and I don't know if I can play in both....can someone let me know if I can/can't.
Hmmm....looked back in this thread and there seems to be alot of experienced players in this ww game....might be over my head if I join in. Could give it a go though!

Glirdan · 01-29-2006, 11:43 AM

Naria, if you feel intimidated, there is a WWJ game that should be starting as soon as my game is over.

My occupation, if I can play that is, will be the crazy guy down the street. Or something along the lines that have me being crazy in it.

i would like to be the town geek wimp and nerd.

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-29-2006, 01:33 PM

I should be OK to play as I now have a dial-up connection at home while my Broadband connection is sorted out. Slow, but at least it allows me to get on-line.

With Wayne, I believe that we have 17 players, 18 if Naria's in too.

I would be quite interested in a game involving the Werebear again. With so many players, I think that the game could support it. But I'm not too bothered about and, seeing as the majority seem to be against it, it's probably best to leave it.

I'm not overkeen on the Apprentice role, as it seems to me that it gives far too much scope for the Gifteds to declare themselves fairly early on, generally resulting in a host of know innocents. Personally, whether a Wolf or a Villager, I prefer the suspense that is entailed in not having too many known innocents around at any one time.

With 17-20 players, 3 Wolves, 1 Cobbler, a Seer, a Ranger/Shirriff and a Hunter/Shirriff seems fairly well-balanced. Given that there are only three Gifteds, I don't think we need a Cursed as well.

As for occupation, I shall be an earnest and learned young man of the law. Not too much role-playing involved (except the 'young' bit

) and it seems to fit with the way I play the game ...

Meneltarmacil · 01-29-2006, 02:02 PM

Naria, I've included you in the game for the moment, though I'd like confirmation from you before we begin. That's 18 players, but I think Saucepan has a point in his last post.

We'll have:

Three wolves
A Seer
A Ranger (who can communicate with the Hunter by Day)
A Hunter (who can communicate with the Ranger by Day)
A Cobbler

That's about it, though it's subject to change.

Only two more can sign up, then it's closed unless somebody leaves.
