She kept that quiet, like.

Edit: are we breaking a record for number of couples in this game? Why's Glirdan not playing?

Oh, occupations...

I'll be Carmótar - the Maia of housework.

And, wow, this game has become huge!

Indeed...

The Night 1 has begun, AND WILL LAST 36 HOURS.

Narration is up in the game thread and all the special roles have been sent.

I will still be sending you with no special role a confirmation PM that you are an ordo (I like to get one myself when playing).

If you have any questions, anyone, just PM me or post to this admin. thread.

Day 1 begins on 3.1. at 10AM! (After a 36-hour D1 we turn back into the normal 10PM deadline)

Enjoy the music of Utumno meanwhile!

I have updated the player-list and given everyone "an occupation" marking you as "A spirit of X"; X being derived from your pre-game posts (or with Sally just because of, well Salliness

).

If you're unhappy with your description, feel free to give a new one within the next 14 hours (before D1 begins).

That's nothing important though. Helps with the D1 starting banter - and I might use some of them with death-narrations if they sem to fit or there is room for them (other narrational aims don't override the use of them).

Heh, we probably are. What a great "stress test" for the relationships!

On other news...

The roles & rules have been updated and D1 is about to begin. Check the rules and inform me if there any rulings missing or if there are any confusions concerning either the rules or the roles.

To those interested in the music the Maiar have been unwillfully listening to, I may reveal that it has been from the St. Luke Passion by the polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki (N1: O crux ave and D1: In pulverem mortis).

Have fun!

It seems everyone except Manwë have read their role-PM's so you can count everyone as in and cognizant of the game having begun.

I realised Manwë said this already before Christmas:

So a modfire will not threathen him unless he is away from the game two Days in a row after January the 5th. Also, he will be mod-protected against any attempt to his life up to the 5th as he has notified us about his time-table problems early enough.

As I promised in the game-thread, here are the ancient Greek thinkers Lommy, Greenie, Aganzir & Legate picked you to be from the deck of "Greek philosophers" cards (not all of them are actually philosophers, but who cares) for the purposes of role-lottery for me.

Eomer of the Rohirrim – Thales
elronds_daughter – Archimedes
Macalaure – Pythagoras
Shastanis Althreduin – Sapfo
Loslote – Pyrrhus of Epirus
Kitanna – Xenophon
wilwarin538 - Aesop
Nessa Telrunya – Diogenes
Pitchwife – Socrates
Satansaloser2005 – Aristophanes
Inziladun – Solon
Rikae – Pericles
Boromir88 - Plutarch
A Little Green – Alcibiades
Blind Guardian – Homer
Skip Spence – Epicurus
Mänwe – Plato
Valier – Bias of Priene
Legate of Amon Lanc – Parmenides
Thinlómien – Euripides
Aganzir – Heraclitus
Ozban – Herodotus
Cailín - Zeno
Kath - Aristotle

As said, there will be no relation between these picks and your actual roles, or any of these guys appearing in the narrations concerning any one of you (Sally clearly went down with the voice of Socrates toDay even if she was Aristophanes in the lottery and Pitchie was actually Socrates there).

Macalaure · 01-04-2011, 07:37 PM

Sorry for not voting toDay. A lot of unexpected stuff happening right before the deadline...

Macalaure – Pythagoras

Yes!
