This looks to be a lovely game, and in all of its details, looks organized.

Always a plus.

Though, I am a bit concerned about the guardian's role of attacking. So, they are able to take out a player at random, if they are not protected, but if they happen to be a werewolf the guardian looses this ability?
The question is, how long is the loss of this ability, or does it terminate their role entirely?
Just curious as to whether the guardian would know of this after PM'ing the mod, and going on ahead to attack a werewolf would just be their own random decision, or is this not revealed and an affective method of shortening down the list of players?

Sorry if these are annoying questions, better to be prepared than to pretend.

The Guardian doesn't know the roles of players any better than anybody else. It is an effective role, which have to be used with care - especially as the ammount of Wolves present is unknown to anybody but the Wolves.
As nasty as it is, the Guardian will lose the ability to attack anybody during the Night if he/she is lucky/skilful enough to kill a Wolf before. I think this way the Guardian balances the teams better. Of course, the Guardian doesn't have to attack every Night.
Except for that ability, the Guardian has the basic Hunter's ability.
I hope this answers your question somehow, otherwise I'll try again.

Brinn, sad to hear, I do that the game will begin by January. It might be so that it won't begin for a long long time, sadly, but I hope it's not the case.

Add me and a questionmark to the player list, please.

Hmm...that means a week long of pre-game plus probably at least another week after that...

Perhaps I should back out of this one... I probably would be okay if the game starts the first days of January, but after that I might be headed into some trouble. After the 15th, there's a chance I'll be missing at least two Days in row, and I don't think that'd be very nice to the other players.

Though, I'd really hate to miss a last chance to play WW. Why don't you put a question mark by my name, Volo, and I'll wait and see what happens...

Awwww I hope you can play Brinn. I enjoy playing with you....and your mind.

For the record, I won't be able to play before probably the eighth or so. Just so everyone knows that I won't be around until then. After that though, I'm more than happy to start werewolfing!

Oh, and Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm slowly recovering from a sickness that struck out of nowhere so I'll still need some time to get the theme ready.

It looks like we won't be able to start right in the beginning of January anyway, as we still lack quite many players and the phantom's game has just started. It looks most amusing though - get out your popcorn (or better something that at least tastes good) and enjoy the jokes.

You can take the questionmark away from my name as my part was short-played indeed in the phantom's game...

*Never play around the clock even if you have a chance: sleep well before you play!*

I will still reserve myself a right to try a more quieter style in this game. Let's see how it goes this time after this blunder...

Volo: Getting 21 players is quite ambitious but I think you should have 18 easily. You have now 11 (with a few questionmarks) and people will start to drop from the phantom's game soon with one/day and hungry for more playing as they drop out too early...

So don't worry.

My apologies, Volo, but I don't think I'll be around to play in this one. I will be somewhere without an Internet connection during part of January.

Besides, your rules have given me a headache.
