Maybe I should be a proper Baggins then, distant relation to Frodo and Bilbo. Yes, I quite like the sound of Lommy Baggins.

A pity I can't probably have horrible grudges against Agan and Legate, because it's explicitly stated the grudges ended when Lobelia died...

A Little Green · 11-27-2007, 03:50 AM

Sign me in for my very first WW game.

What comes to the hobbit name, I think I'll go as Lilla Greenhand. (Swedish exam tomorrow...)

Thinlómien · 11-27-2007, 05:13 AM

Heja Sverige, En Liten Grön!

Now this looks like a proper pace of ww sign up...

Cheers!

Agreed! This is looking good indeed!

We have now 14 players in. This means that we could start pretty soon indeed.

I'll suggest that as the deadline comes within a five hours toDay we should start the game tomorrow at the deadline (9PM GMT if no one strongly calls for a change). That would mean that there is now effectively 29 hours until the start of the game. That would also mean that all those people who will sign themselves in within 24 hours + will get in the game.

I could start straight away with the Day1 but if you think it better to give the wolves some time to exchange a few PM's before it's okay as well (and thence we'd start with a Nightphase).

The question about gifteds: some of you have said they'd like to play without gifteds and others that we could take some / one of them out. What say you others?

To make it clear:

Deadline to signing in: we 28.11. 7PM GMT
(to allow me time to deal the roles and send them to everyone).

Starting of the game / Day1: thu 29.11. 9PM GMT
(with either the Day- or Nightphase, according to your view of it).

Valier · 11-27-2007, 10:39 AM

alright, alright my arm has been twisted. I'll play. I may not be around most days at the deadline seeing as it is 3pm I believe for me. I will however make sure I vote, so if my vote post is a little abrupt, it is because I am on my way to work.
I like having 3 gifted, but if others want less, I'm cool with that too.
I shall be Vallen FurryFoot, the local shoe maker, (I don't make much money as you could well assume...)

mormegil · 11-27-2007, 11:14 AM

You should, at a minimum, have a seer. The first game ever played had only 3 wolves and one seer.

And it was mad fun. Remember how Kuruwolf convinced the village I was the one in need of a lynching?

It was amazing...

So yeah. I'm up for just a seer. I really don't care about the other roles.

Don't worry, if you really want to, we can reestablish the old family grudges. (*takes out a paper and after the last note writes a new one: "Must lynch Lommy."*

)

*shrugs* I will think yet a little bit. But you did not help me. I hoped you to solve that

Give the rising numbers of players, maybe it's not even adviseable to create even more confusion.

I would be for a Nightphase. Mainly because some totally new players and totally old players may end up together as Wolves and it would be good for them to at least get acquainted before the game begins. But whatever - maybe if they are thrown right into the action, it will be more spontaneous and interesting.

Given the numbers, maybe one Seer would do good, but, is it really necessary? Someone spoke here about greater activity of the players... and with no Gifteds around, the game would be a little less confusing. Hopefully.

Rikae · 11-27-2007, 04:31 PM

If there's still room, sign me up! I don't think I have ever experienced a completely classic game...
oh, and I'll go as Rikae Took. What else?

Meneltarmacil · 11-28-2007, 03:54 PM

Oh dear, this isn't good.

I have a trip I'm going on that starts Friday and ends Sunday, which means that I'll be missing most of Day 1. However, if the start of the game were to be rescheduled to about an hour or two earlier, I would have enough time to post for a little bit. I can delay leaving if I need to, but I'd rather not.

Nerwen · 11-27-2007, 05:24 AM

Okay, count me in: Nerwen Hornblower.

Aganzir · 11-27-2007, 08:18 AM

Legate: No problem. Choose whichever you wish. And if you liked me to be your mother, that would do as well.

It would be interesting to have a game without any gifteds, or at least fewer than usually. What about leaving Hunter out?

But look at the scenario. If the evil of Sauron and Saruman is still around, why not the old family grudges?

Azaelia of Willowbottom · 11-27-2007, 08:54 AM

Add me on as a maybe. It depends on when the game will start. I'll be working on a show for the next two weeks or so (counting this one), so I'm going to be pretty busy. It's not fair to anyone else if I can't really commit. I was just wondering what starting date you had in mind, Nogrod.

I haven't played WW in so long, and this game sounds like a great idea, so I hope it works out.
