Oh heck, well. Yes. If there's still room in the line-up, count me in, and dang real life!
I suppose I can manage the 11pm deadline, if everybody else can live with me having to vote about 6 hours early. The survey will be tough - I don't feel like I know any of you others well enough to answer that, but I'll try.
As this looks like it's gonna be quite a big team, I'm very much for adding a cobbler or cursed (or both?).

Oh yes - and may I introduce myself: Studebaker Hawk, at your service, with the ability to fly by covering my pants with maple syrup in order to attract millions of flies which will then lift me up in the air. (Don't ask what happens when all the syrup has been devoured...)

Sign me up as The Incredible Sulk!

When angry, I turn green and pout.

Rikae · 08-08-2009, 04:16 PM

Hooray for the later deadline! As for the Europeans, any of them too foolish to move to the U.S. to do my cooking and housework for me, deserve a bad WW deadline.

I also vote for a cobbler AND a cursed. Or a cursed cobbler? Cobbler lovers? Cobbler seer alpha wolf weaver? Or perhaps a random undisclosed evil role?

Boromir88 · 08-08-2009, 04:21 PM

Both of ye are added, and I will now close the sign-ups. I'll wait for confirmation from tp and Greenie, if neither of them can go than someone can take their place, but I'm set with the number.

Talk about an interesting power...I'm not sure if that's really a power, or you're just a guy who loves syrup.

Do the best, you can use a name more than once.

That's good, I love funny word play. (Wilwa came up with The Dark Monarch...ahh love it!

)

Edit: crossed with Rikae.

I can certainly add both...I was thinking about trying to come up with some alternative lover role, or bringing back a shirriff type role. But the shirriffs really weren't that interesting, and for my first game...even if I'm getting much needed help from wilwa, I want to try and keep it simple for myself. Than if I decide to mod again, you may see some different roles.

So right now there's 17...by adding a cobbler and cursed, that will bring 5 gifteds, 2 'special' ordos, and 10 regular ordos. There's more than I expected, we could probably add a hunter too.

++Chaos

EDIT: x'd with Dun. Hoover Dam!

Boromir88 · 08-08-2009, 05:09 PM

I'm sorry sally, I'm going to side with Mac. I want my first go to be at least as far as gifteds, not complicated. However, you can be as chaotic as you want with your powers during the game...in fact it is encouraged.

P.S.

If I haven't already said it the sign-ups are closed.

A Cobbler and Cursed has been added. I will decide whether to add a hunter or not. But expect a normal hunter.

Deadline is at 11pm EST

And here are the survey questions again.

...at least 2 players you trust the most
...at least 2 players you distrust the most
...at least 2 players you fear
...at least 2 players you can read

Pick from the player-list and you can use someone more than once

The earliest I want to start is the 13th...already have a couple, but don't rush, just make sure I get 'em by Aug 12th. Thanks you.

satansaloser2005 · 08-08-2009, 05:19 PM

Oh, Boro. By the way, Tum wanted to sign up, but she's working right now. So yeah.

Wow. Just... wow... that has got to be the fastest game-filling sign-up I've been awake enough to see. Not even 24 hours since the last game ended--I haven't logged in till now and it's full.

I suppose this is a good thing--even though it's a Boro game, and it looks super-cool, I don't have the naggling moral pressure of telling myself "no, you can't play."

Though there's an 11:00pm EST deadline and a Curséd Villager!

Bad Formendacil!

Seriously, Boro, the only reason I'm not pleading to be let in is because of your August 13th start (which, incidentally, is quite ridiculous, given that you've got a full crew already. Why you don't start tomorrow, I'm not sure I understand...)

I guess I'll count that a lucky escape. While I pout.

What is the shiriff role and who is the second special ordo? I know the first would be the cursed villager.

The Cobbler, who I place under the tally of ordos, because he is just an ordo but one who wants the villains to win. Also, this cobbler will be able to try and discover some villains. The traditional role of the Cobbler is to not know who any wolves are, nor anyone's role, but just to cause confusion and have the wolves win.

Thanks Sally for helping me out since I was at work...fun fun on a Saturday.

Thanks Boro for allowing me to play. I look forward to it. As for my super hero powers: I can talk to fish.

One more thing...is everyone ok with the tied votes being determined by a coin toss or hat pull?

The reason I ask, is I can go by the standard of the "last person who tied" gets lynched, but that benefits those who can be at the DL. Where the random outcome of a coin toss may cause ye all to be more wary about causing ties.

I'm ok with the tied votes being determined by a coin toss or hat pull.
