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.

[Anguirel]

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]

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.

Be careful Mr Boro...in that first game I wasn't successful as I didn't trust my instincts, but it turned out my instincts were correct in the end... I must be a good hunter

I was last one standing in that - so I'm betting I won't be in this one

[Nogrod]

It's nice to have you around Eomer as it is sad to see Kitanna gone...

We're still in 17 confirmed players and that is very good I think. A few more would be fabulous but I'm ready to go with this line-up too. As I said earlier, Lommy has asked us to start after the weekend and if no one has anything against it the game will start on Sunday with a Night phase.

I have nothing against occupations as such and am quite ready to take them with in this game. The whole idea of the questionnaire was just to give the players also something else to chew on Day1. And yes, you might have relations to Eiliniel and Gorlim if you wished. It's a small village in Taur-nu-Fuin, so the occupations should be something around that scenery... What say you? I'm happy with occupations or without them.

I also agree with Ang that the family-tree stuff was hilarious in the Dueling Wizards and really enhanced the experience. But it's hard to fit in with the questionnaire-idea and might make this game a bit too complicated with all possible features around at the same time. So I would leave that idea to some other game - in which I would really like to join myself in as a player!

About the deadline: At least for now I think Firefoot's hope of a later (10PM GMT) one weighs heavier than Lommy's and Volo's point on the earlier one (9PM GMT). As - if I interpret it right - it's a question of having a possibility to join at the last hour while other times are more problematic against the inconvenience of having to vote an hour earlier but still considerably late.

I would like to hear if there are any other problems with the deadline? If it's generally thought better or if someone's chances to take part are greatly enhanced by it, I might try to heave the deadline up to 10.30-11 PM GMT but would not be too happy with that as I live myself in +2GMT.

I'll try to have the initial narration and thence the actual game-thread up tomorrow for you to see.

Meanwhile I would like to hear your views on the occupations / the deadline... and other things you wish to discuss before the game.
