The biggest problem I have is that you are asking us to draw conclusion about information we don't have yet and how it would impact the game, ergo I want the information...

But to be honest, I'm not quite sure what you mean here: the undisclosed roles or the questionnaire (or something else)?

Leaving the three roles undisclosed in the beginning - but making them more or less clear in the Nightly narrations - I think could add to the suspension of the game and would make it more enjoyable. I'm not going to be too cryptic about them anyway as I'm not interested in being a foul moderator who intentionally leads people astray. That has never been my goal with this. It will all depend on the way the game turns out. They might be clear to everyone in one or two Nights or then not, all depending on the action that takes place...

If you were pointing at the questionnaire, well... I'm quite sure you all have your preconceptions of the others playing, of most of them. This I admit is a kind of exploitation, but only to make the Day1 more interesting. You were yourself referring to the nemesis of yours (whatever the plural of that is in old-Greek)... so just bring them forwards as the time is up and make them part of the village standings in the beginning of the game! Then we'll see what comes out of it - if anything. Remember, the idea of that is to replace the occupations with revealing something you think of each other collectively. You may use that information as you wish, but I think it better thing to grasp than any random occupations people have come up with before they even know what their role will be...

If it was something else you should come back to the subject... And if it was one of the two I mentioned and my answers didn't make you content, please raise the issue again.

All I wish is that you would have a nice game you all enjoy. It is perfectly possible that I think of this differently than some of you and because of that I would be happy to get all the differing views beforehand - as now we have time to change things...

All right... I'll play. Sounds fun.

10 GMT would be much better than 9 - I'm typically home by 10. Typically. I'm not making guarantees about the amount of time I can devote - evenings are clear but basically everything else isn't.

(It's been a looong time... last spring??)

So good to see you around Firefoot!

As much as I want to play in this game, one of my classes has decided I am to have no fun this semester. I'm pretty swamped for the moment. So I must sit this out.

I've always been rather fond of occupations, as I regard Werewolf as at least half a dramatic exercise. But if most people don't want them, that's fine.

Couldn't we be roles related to distantly Eiliniel and Gorlim, like in the WerePenguin game with Elenwe's hangers-on? Or we could have a family tree; I missed the Dueling Wizards and would like to try the brother 'gainst brother aspect...which works well for a close knit village.

3 games in a row? I've never done it before, but I can hardly turn down a request from such a stellar individual. Count me in, Nogrod. Although if Gaunt shows up he is welcome to take my spot.

Lalwendë · 01-24-2007, 10:37 AM

This is just to say "I'm in!"

Yeah!

Will have to swot up on them rules again though!

Maybe Nogrod could draw that up on the basis of the questionnaire...

Oh boy Lal's back for another one...finally I get the pleasure of see how she is...hmm, should prove to be interesting.
