I'm sorry to hear it, Kitanna. Maybe we'll be in some RPG together again someday.

I can only hope! I would have joined, but I only have four waking hours where I'm not working and I can play. That's hardly fair to other players.

Bom Tombadillo · 08-08-2011, 11:47 AM

Well that's just terrible. Some higher power seems to have taken an interest in ruining this particular game . . .

Or maybe all the players with compatible schedules are put off by the unconventional roles. Eh, either way.

Many who would probably otherwise be interested are presently involved with Finlandmoot, apparently.

Anyone know of some arms to twist?

I say try my lovely little butterfly, Vanilwamuffin She may be able to join.

And on a slightly upsetting note, I may have to withdraw for the time being. Unless you are planning on starting after this weekend as I will have absolutely no internet access from Friday till Monday night as I am going out of town for my cousins wedding. If you start next week, I'm in, but as of right now, I don't think it's fair to everyone if I'm gone for four days (and besides, that usually ends in a modfiring anyways

). It your call miss Moddess

Folwren · 08-08-2011, 05:52 PM

Well, it doesn't look like I can start tomorrow, anyway, so don't draw out just yet, Mr. Glirdan.

I'll try Wilwarin. I've already attempted writing some others.

How long is the Finlandmoot lasting?

-- Foley

Edit...Wilwarin is who you were refering to, right?

Glirdan · 08-08-2011, 10:10 PM

Hahaha, yes it was

Rikae · 08-09-2011, 03:30 AM

Foley - people will be returning from Finlandmoot over the next few days (though the last are staying until the 14th), I think. I just got back and would love to play in your game!

Yay!

By the way, what happened to your siggy? I'm asking because whenever I saw it I thought of WW... I liked it.

Folwren · 08-09-2011, 03:46 PM

Welcome, Rikae, glad to have you back.

I hope others return shortly feeling like playing, because otherwise, we won't have a game again.

McCaber · 08-09-2011, 05:08 PM

I said I was on board just like a week ago. Do I need to reconfirm?

Folwren · 08-09-2011, 06:07 PM

Didn't I get you on the list? Let me check. Sorry if I didn't...

Inziladun · 08-09-2011, 06:31 PM

So we now have 11 signed up. Was 12 the target?

Galadriel55 · 08-09-2011, 06:36 PM

15, I think. So we're just passed the 2/3 mark...

Folwren · 08-09-2011, 06:40 PM

Aye, 15. *sigh*

The Phantom told me he could play if we REALLY needed him.

And Mithalwen kind of said the same thing.

satansaloser2005 · 08-09-2011, 07:30 PM

So....erm....about that....

wilwarin538 · 08-10-2011, 07:31 AM

Yeah, everything has slowed down for me for the next few weeks, and I haven't played in forever, so I am in!

Excellent, Wilwa! I'm glad you're in!

Folwren · 08-10-2011, 07:08 PM

We just need two more players, provided the Phantom and Mithalwen are still willing to play.

I think its only one... isn't it? We have 12 right now, and if Mith and TP play (please?

) it will make it 14...

Folwren · 08-10-2011, 08:07 PM

Oh, yeah. Just one. Haha.

Inziladun · 08-10-2011, 08:15 PM

If it helps, I'm willing to be cut in half to increase the numbers.

Come on folks. Do we have to threaten you?

Folwren · 08-10-2011, 08:29 PM

Yes, let's start threatening them, with a death worse than fate!

In the mean time, I'll start getting things ready and we'll sart tomorrow, fifteenth player or not. Hopefully it'll work okay.

And I'll write the Phantom and Mithalwen to ensure they're still willing to give it a shot.

-- Folwren

the phantom · 08-10-2011, 08:38 PM

Thumbs up. Let's do this.

Glirdan · 08-10-2011, 09:34 PM

Nooooooo!!!! Don't start tomorrow!!!

Or, start tomorrow and just know that I will have no access from Friday to Monday night

Folwren · 08-11-2011, 11:45 AM

You'll be gone Friday to Monday, huh? If others are willing to wait, I can put it off another day or so and start Night 1 Either Saturday or Sunday. Chances are, Glirdan, you'll miss Day 1. Possibly, I can see to it you aren't killed in your absence.

Glirdan · 08-11-2011, 12:50 PM

That would be wonderful seeing as I'd probably end up that way here or not lol

There's a good fellow. All it takes is a bit of "persuasion".

Galadriel55 · 08-11-2011, 02:53 PM

Yay Pitch!!!

That means we have all 15 if Mith plays.

Fifteen dwarves on a dead man's chest... erm, whoops, wrong one. Fifteen birds on five fir trees...

Folwren · 08-11-2011, 03:03 PM

Ha. I have FINALLY gotten around to reading the thread and figuring out how exactly I want this game to go. A lot of people raised some really good questions and pointed out some good stuff in the first days of this thread.

So...here's what I'm thinking.

The Sweetheart will be a player who is appointed the role at the beginning of the game, along with everybody else. However, she shall not take her place as the sweetheart until she has identified the King's Dwarf. She does this by sending in two names each night to me. I will only reply, "This person is not the KD" or "This person is the KD". As soon as she has identified him, he is aware of who she is. Then, if the Forge members decide to kill the sweetheart during the night, the KD will die in her place.

In addition, I have decided to CHANGE THE RULE CONCERNING THE KD'S DEATH being the end of the game if killed at night.

If the KD is killed at night purposefully by the Forges, the Sweetheart will also be killed, but the game will not end.

There is another part I'm thinking about with the Sweetheart, but I almost want it to be a secret for only the KD and the Sweetheart to know about. How do you all feel concerning that? I will tell you that it involves communication between the KD and the Sweetheart during the night phase, and it involves the Watchdwarf and saving people. I just don't want to put out the where and how information.

At no point in time can the King's Dwarf reveal his identity.

Did I cover everything? Any holes that anybody can see? I will now go back and edit the first post so all this is in a more concise form.

And Thank you, Pitchwife, for joining us!

Sign up is still open for anybody who wishes to join. We will probably start Saturday or Sunday. I'm leaning towards Saturday.

-- Foley

Galadriel55 · 08-11-2011, 03:10 PM

Thank you Foley! I just want to clarify this: if the KD is killed/lynched, does the game continue regardless of the circumstances? Unless wolves=innocents in number...

Folwren · 08-11-2011, 03:27 PM

Yes, Galadriel - the game continues as normal if the villagers kill the KD.

I want to point out that I also added this to the first post:

Quote:

The members of the Forge can only kill the King’s Dwarf at night if there are two or more of them left to do so. Once the game comes down to one Forge member left and the King’s Dwarf is still alive, that final Forge member cannot kill him.

Pitchwife, I think, pointed out that when all but one member had been killed, that member would know who the KD was and he'd kill him. Well, I didn't much like that. So if it comes down to the point where there is one member left and the KD, then that member's only hope, I guess, would be to get the KD lynched.

Is that fair, do you suppose?

I know this question is going to come up - will the Forge still get a kill that night? Yes, it will.

-- Foley

Folwren · 08-11-2011, 03:28 PM

Deadline is 4 EST, btw.

Also, I have edited the first post. Go read it if you have questions on the rules, and then if your question still isn't answered, ask me.

-- Foley

the phantom · 08-11-2011, 04:00 PM

This may have already been asked, but I only had time to read the rules post, so....

How exactly does the Forge go about killing the KD during the night? As a Forge member, couldn't the KD send in a different kill to the moderator first? Or is one member of the Forge the official kill selector each night? Or do all members send kill votes separately and the Moderator tallies them to determine the winner?

I think this could be solved by making the person sending the kill forward it to the other Forgers, or send them a copy - otherwise the kill won't be made.

Sending in the wrong kill would be an obvious tipoff to the Forge members of who the KD was, though.

Well, that would certainly be another way to get rid of the loophole.

If Foley wants to be rid of it, that is. Leaving things as they are might lead to some interesting chaos.
