Oh, make me the spammer, please, please, pleeez....

I'll be the person who tries to fake knowledge of the books and fails miserably (sorry I can't say that more concisely).

"But in 'Thingymabobs of M-E' (book 3, page 3436), Tolkein says that dragons were not created by Moregoth, but by the flower fairies."

Gah! Not only was I thinking for a Downs-themed concept for the next WW I mod - I'll see what you write in this game and rethink my ideas - but I have no chance of playing in this game as my camp starts on the 6th of July. Sorry... and have fun!

PS: Even if I don't join the game, may I still neg-rep people anonymously?

Only if I get to neg-rep you first!

Sorry you can't join the game. And I'm curious to see how your WW concept shapes out (hopefully you won't have to rethink it too much).

Well I'm penned in, so beat that.

I say make it a normal hunter (meaning kill whoever the hunter chooses) that's what makes the role challenging and fun.

White Tree Ooh.

Mummy Mith and Boro, how glad to have a chance to play with you again.

That the Music of the Ainur should ordain this, blessed be Eru!

Unless they're of the Second Children, who have freedom beyond the Music. . .

Then Ilúvatar himself has intervened in the Music, to make it thus. Blessed still be Eru!

Ooh, a sampler of your IC posting, how . . . annoying.

I do agree that a normal hunter would probably be better...but as Aganzir said, I think it'll end up depending on the size of the village. If the number of players is small, then I'd rather not have the hunter take an extra innocent with him. Though if sign-ups continue at this pace, then we won't have to worry about that.

Logic please

I would have a hunter that if lynched takes their choice down regardless but if is the wolf kill choice only kills if their choice is a wolf. I think it was Roa who pointed out that it was illogical for a dying hunter to take out a non-wolf at night, however a lynched hunter might take any of the village down with them.

As for my role I was tempted to be one of the people who take it a bit too seriously and don't like references to anything that suggests it isn't real..but it seems my boy Nilp is half way there..
