I would like to sign up. I have not been playing enough of WW lately, and this looks like a nice game, and a setting (even rule-wise) which I might like. I should even have time for active participating (well, I would not sign up if I did not have time for it...).

Actually, nice setting, Kitanna, the setting is actually perfectly fitting the game itself

Really a good idea!

As for being a Man or a Hobbit... I may as well wait for what is needed for the balance, too. Although I may slightly favour the Men, still - I do not care that much. I guess we cannot be Elves who wander around Bree, meeting on secret glades in Chetwood, can't we?

Ooh, Elves would be interesting yet a little improbable. And it kind of scares me how you state exactly what I feel about whether I should be a human or a hobbit...

And btw Kittie, the number of this game is LVI, unless I'm mistaken.

It's been far too long! Please sign me up as Mrs. Broadbottle, of course (just call me Bertha). I am a baker, and, although my husband is one of the big people, I'll go all non-canonical (and balance things a bit) by being a hobbit.
Or, if multicultural relationships are frowned upon, I'll be a very petite "big" lady with an aversion to footwear.

A question: does the ringbearer know xer own identity?

Aganzir · 01-18-2009, 03:19 PM

Ooh this sounds so interesting. If the game starts soon, I'm in.

Hey Legate we could get married and be the Sackville-Bagginses! Wouldn't that be nice?

If not, then I'd like to be a Big Person. My occupation shall be... a tanner!

Gollum the Great · 01-18-2009, 03:53 PM

This looks fun, Kit. Hopefully I will be around more this game.

What's -6 GMT in EST? I hope it's something I can work with, or may have to give this a miss...

Nogrod · 01-18-2009, 04:25 PM

Let's see if I can make it to Day3 this time. Lately both the wolves and the villagers have been just too eager to get rid of me on the first Days / Nights.

And as no one seems to be ready to stand out for hobbits loud and clear then I'll be one.

So let me be the hobbit-dealer of "Old Tobo" in Bree. And even if my real name would be Shenanigan Kneejerk I'd like to be called just "Toby".

Aganzir · 01-18-2009, 04:25 PM

I believe it's EST -1. A piece of advice: if you're uncertain, you can go look it up in Edit Options. There's a list of possible timezones.

edit: xed with Nog. And even if my real name would be Shenanigan Kneejerk I'd like to be called just "Toby".

Yes, but unless he/she is turned into a wraith the ringbearer should play just like an ordo.

I was too busy to bother checking when I made this thread and now thanks to you, Lommy, I need not bother now either.

I think the players' list is up to date, but let me know if I left anyone out.

You did well not to consider it and pick yourself another. For a very simple reason. And you know which one it is.

There are no Sackville-Bagginses in Bree.

Okay, so is the ringbearer compelled not to talk about his burden, by the rules? Because basically game-wise, talking about it may be indeed very unwise for most part (like, if he revealed, he would become a good primal target for the Wraiths, if only to get one more day), but if he was fearing that he may be targeted the next Night, he might consider it a good idea to reveal.

Beregond · 01-18-2009, 09:54 PM

I've never played before, but I'd love to learn - sign me up, please?

I'm leaving this up to whoever ends up being the ringbearer. I see the role as a more complicated cobbler. Though if not enough people sign up to play I may give that role and the informer role the axe.

And Beregond, you can pick a village occupation and a race.
