We do, Kath dear! Don't give in!

Oh fine, I might as well make it a start-of-term tradition. Please put me down with a question mark. I hate you, Lommy.

Wait - cobbler AND lovers? Ooof, tough game.

Thumbs up

Welcome, TM, Kath, Naria and Lhuna! Great to see you here.

Looks very promising this far!

I have some hopes of actually gathering enough players for a bit bigger game. Yay! (But don't worry, even if there was enough people willing to play, this will not become a megalomanic Dueling Wizards -type of game, I don't want more than 20 or 21 players, 15-18 would be ideal... We'll see.)

TM - I'm going to explain all the rules in post but I'm not sure when I will write it (I might do it just before the start of the game) so if you want to be clear on these things before that, I suggest you check the Tol-in-Gaurhoth -thread (just like Legate said).

Lhuna - I know. If I hadn't already decided to give out the roles randomly, I'd make you a lover just for fun.

We'll see how this goes. I hope you get to play - I could assign you some very nasty role! A pity I decided to give them out randomly...

Yes, not a very large population, please! I think merely joining will drive me crazy enough. Too bad you didn't decide to do this before my term starts, Lommy.

You know you want to... And with Kath joining? *evil laughter*

Maybe I should stop this, or Kath might push to have me lynched on Day 1, just to be sure.

I know, Lhuna. I can't believe I joined another Lover's game after my track record in them, and now you're in it I know I'm going to lose whatever team I'm on!

Sorry Gil, I would have joined yours but I didn't have the time when yours was on. All my lectures bar two finish this week so I have much more free time as of Wednesday!

Maybe you may, as I seem to have forgotten to add the anti-Macalaure rule banning all people named Macalaure from joining the game... Of course you can! I'm glad to have you in the game.

I have not decided yet, probably not. I will inform you as soon as I know.

Of course. Everyone does that. Sometimes even when the teams do not look unfair, but because he thinks that there could be some more interesting teams generated "randomly" if the random choice is made enough times...

One question - are the lovers going to be a wolf and an ordo, or is there something more sinister to come, like a cobbler lover together with a hunter, or am I supposed not to ask this question at all?
