As it's only the Night-phase you could start it already on the 23rd, when there is no one to join any more... But your decision to be sure.

Probably yes as those riddles are nearly done. I won't promise.


I want to remind you that if you agree to stay with the story:
- Your character can't take anything to the game place, except your clothes of course.
- There will be stuff to use in the place, so if you tell me that your character likes to play the flute, he/she won't be able to take his/her own flute, but will probably find one in the game place. (This is basicly for people wishing to stay in character.)
- It is easier that your character is of the same gender as you yourself are.
- Your character may have a name, but it should be related to your own BD nickname.
All of the above won't affect the game as such but will probably make the game nicer.

Please!

Please don't change you avatar, signiture, location or any other information! If you really have to, inform me.

I also suggest that you (especially the new members) explore your fellow players, because the riddles might be very hard without any background information. I'm sorry for this unfairness, but I hope you understand.


I still don't have characters from the following people (Sorry if I should have, I might have lost the post with them...), please hurry up if you want to make a character.

Gil-Galad
The Saucepan Man
Eomer of the Rohirrim
Thinlómien
Brinniel
Shastanis Althreduin
Kitanna
Sleepy Ranger
Glirdan


May I take the question mark away from your name, Espiem?

Boots Just a second!

Mistake made! *slaps face* The Night/Day change will be 3 PM GMT!! Not 4 PM GMT like I preveously told...

Don't they have daylight saving times elsewhere?

Sorry... I hope this doesn't change things too much.

Question Even more spammage, this time I appologise to everybody who thinks that the...

...EDIT-button has been invented.

So, the next question is this:

Do you want challenging and great riddles or mind-bogglingly freaky and extremely challenging riddles?

The challenging riddles would be that the answer can be found in the person's profile.

The extremely challenging riddles would be that the answer can be found about anywhere, mostly such that you can find it through the profile page, but not always.


Why even ask? Enough confusion already?

Well, I was thinking about the fact that the Lynch Seer will pretty well see from the game thread who is being lynched, so it won't be that hard to know who is going to be lynched. So if you want to put the Lynch Seer to think twice and even thrice, in most cases challenging riddles won't be enough.

The extremely challening riddles on the other hand might be a bit and not only a bit too hard, but I'm sure that if the Lynch Seer reads through the game thread and puts some time into it he/she will find the answer.

I'd suggest that you do what you find appropriate, Volo. Personally I think extremely challenging riddles might be fun, though... though some "elder" members might have a significant advantage against the more newbie-ish... for example, on the players list there are four or five people of whom I know really very little and yet other four or five of whom I know hardly more than their name...

That works the other way around as well. From those who've been here for ages there are a host of trails but from the newer ones only the profile and the game itself.

But as you said Legate:

Maybe you could stress the part of what happens in the game though. But as you said, there will be some hunches from after a Day who were the main suspects so the lynch-seer probably has quite restricted choice and thence the riddles should be a bit tougher not to make it too easy...
