WW42 - Discussion Thread

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I have finally read all the rules properly and really went through them so I can at least post a few *strikes through* several *strikes through* pack lots horde throng swarm legion; okay, that was enough; questions. Well, it's not that much, but these are some things I wanted to clear up...

-During Stage2 the role of the lynched player will be revealed to a living player chosen by random.org.

I presume that this will be revealed to the player sometime right after the DL, so that it does not happen that the Counsellor decides to inspect someone and at the same time is randomly chosen to be told the role of the dead player.

And by the way, technically, the Counsellor is something very close to Cobbler, right?

-No double-lynches.

So what happens if there is an equation of votes? The one who got the most the first is lynched? From what you replied to Val, I would presume it is like that, but it's always better to ask for certain.

-Editing the content of your posts is forbidden.

Even to mark cross-posting?

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.

So, just to make this really straight: the Guardian's ability is one to use really rather very tactically, and simply said, we can say he is a Hunter with the ability to take down one Wolf per the whole game (and eventually, some unlucky innocents before).

And last question, the introduction of our character should be posted here, or PMed to you, or is it sufficent to introduce inside the game itself?

Okay, so that's about all I had in mind right now

Well, since the sign-up list does not appear to be full, I'll play. I'll be a Musk Ox Farmer.

I'll try to send out the roles as soon as possible. The Counsellor is very much like a Cobbler, but with the extra ability.

Yup, that's the case.

Oh, but that isn't truly the content of a post. Cross-posting may be marked and smelling corrected.

Well, yes, the role isn't very unlike the Assassin (+ the Hunter). In the best case the Guardian may catch two Wolves: one by attacking (Assassin/Wolf's ability) and one by hunting (Hunter's ability). The only part that makes the Guardian very hard is the fact that the ammount of Wolves is unknown and it may be that a wrong kill is enough to lead to defeat already early on.

Post it here. I'll post an example - made up because I was bored...

Welcome Menel! You can be a humble farmer, but wouldn't you rather be a mighty warrior (check #22)?

[Meneltarmacil]

Oh, whoops. Forgot to read the premise. I'll be a warrior then.

I thought that making a "profile" for your gladiator might be easier than writing an interview. It may be as crazy or un-crazy as you like it to be, or you may not write it at all and have your character stay very mysterious.

Here's the profile for Ugh-Friedrich, an equally famous warrior invited to host the competiotion.

Name: Ugh-Friedrich
Title(s): The Thunder Of The Fist
Equipment (among others):
-Ethreal Postbox of the Badger (sort of sledgehammer)
-Syd Barret's Blue Towel
-Pants of Power (made in the Fires of Doom)
(Significant) heroic deeds:
-Singlehandedly rescued Princess Purplebeard from the Big Bad Werewolf
-(Almost) singlehandedly got maximum points from the passing exam of Tol-In-Gaurhoth University of Dire Arts
Star sign: fish, you know, the half-eaten.
Favourite food: potatoes fried on blood, sweat and tears, and beer.
Favourite drink: diet honey
Favourite sport: football (soccer)
Favourite colour: black, of course!
Wierdest rumor you have heard about yourself: I was once asked if I'm Beren. Another time I was asked if I'm Gothmog... Go figure...
Hobbies: Causing fictionary traffic jams, sports
Tell us something that nobody else knows about you: I have nothing to tell! ;D Haha! Good one, eh?

Augh! Sweet Cerridwen! I've been off the Downs far too long and all of this has happened.

I've never played a warrior type before, much more of a behind the scenes person m'self, but this should be fun to see how horrible I can make it.
Heh, maybe I can be an Ent again, though I have this bad feeling I'll end up making someone's crackling firewood.

I'm not really familiar with the various roles though, besides the early basics of guardian, seer, etc.
So, sorry for one more silly and stupid question, these little roles and such are simply character and story wise, and will not in the ultimate make of things transform into/change/characterize roles? I'm just curious, as ever.

I guess I got a little carried off. You can see how my mood changed from the beginning to the end. I was starting relatively seriously.

(Significant) heroic deeds:
- Showing an old woman way out of the woods.
- Arranging a meeting between Radagast the Brown, and the representatives of Woodmen - certain Ivan and Nastya, who for some reason kept calling the Wizard "Morozko".
Star sign: Meneltarmostratocastaquarius.
Favourite food: Blueberries.
Favourite drink: Icy water. (underground)
Favourite sport: Fencing. I.e. closing people into fences. Electric.

Hobbies: Hooting at the woods. Shooting at the hoods (Robins). Rooting at the noobs.
Tell us something that nobody else knows about you: I am your father. Yes, your! Stand still, laddy!

And whoever finds all my sources has a big plus at me. I can then add just one more plus and his name after it and I have a vote

EDIT: I thought I could have an animal companion, but I don't think it would be allowed, eh? Unless anyone decided to be that. It would probably need not to be a wolf, however (although...)
