Admin thread for TIG XCIII - Betrayal at Henneth Annûn

[A Little Green]

Esty!!!! I'm impressed!

Timetable-wise - if we start this week then whichever phase Saturday is I'm going to miss it completely. Otherwise my participation should be above average, as my studies don't continue until two weeks from now! Incidentally, Pitch, any idea when we're starting?

Yay Glirdy! Welcome! I suppose it's too much to hope for a wilwa as well?

Thanks for the input on M&D.

My thought exactly, which is why I think I'll keep them both (I just love the idea of changing a role in mid-game, because, as Jimi Hendrix said, only cowboys stay in tune all through a song).

In small villages I try to keep the 1 to 1 death ratio as much as possible, and having both revenge kill/Damrod or Mablung die is overkill.

This is a very good point - in the worst case we'd actually lose three innocents at once (Mablung + Damrod + Damrod's pick), which, depending on when it happens, could very well mean instant win for the wolves; this is way too hard on the village, and I must admit I hadn't thought this out thoroughly.
The idea behind it was that the side which kills Mablung/Damrod takes the risk of the Hunter kill, and I'd actually like to keep that aspect. So what do you think of this:

• Mablung is wolf-killed -> Damrod becomes a semi-logical Hunter (kills pick only if a wolf);
• Mablung is lynched -> Damrod becomes an illogical Hunter (kills pick whatever their role).

This would remove the instant carnage of the revenge kill and still give the wolves a chance of a Hunter-kill backfiring against the village. Sound good?

At the moment I'm inclined to start as soon as we have 12 players, and we still need at least one more. If one or two more people sign up before the weekend, I'd say let's go rather than risk having people dropping out. So if we start this week and you have to miss Saturday I'm now forewarned and will withhold my modly frown.

I don't think I'm going to be able to play this time around. I'm looking at a couple more busy weeks at work.

[Nerwen]

Much as I'd like to play, Pitch, it's not looking like I'm going to be able to this time.

[Bom Tombadillo]

I'm trying to cut down on my participation in games where the deadline is less-than-ideal for me (I seem to participate little enough when I have plenty of time) but since you seem to desperately need players, I'm in.

I can see what I can do, but I make no promises as she is entering her final semester of University and has quite the workload for it from what I remember.

I asked her, and she said no.

Please do bother her though. I demand some Muffin and Cupcake Show action.

So, this one time... I'm playing. 'K?
