WW XCVII: Werewolves in the Westfold - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think we're still waiting for enough people to sign up, Zil.

By the way, I need a rôle– I'll be a horse-trader of doubtful integrity.

Nerwen · 08-03-2012, 08:47 AM

I see there are some newly dead folk posting in the "Books" section. Do you think it would be worth trying to recruit them?

Coppermirror · 08-03-2012, 09:20 AM

Asking them's worth a try, I'd say.

Yeah, I thought I'd bump it up for visibility.

Meneltarmacil · 08-03-2012, 01:20 PM

We're up to 10 people now, which is about the bare minimum needed to start. Unfortunately, as G55 is likely to be unable to play, we still would need someone else. And if we do get 10, we won't be able to use the Ranger or Cobblers. However, we're closer to starting now than before, so keep your fingers crossed.

Coppermirror · 08-05-2012, 01:53 AM

Bumping the topic up...

But I also have a small question, and this seems to be a reasonable place to ask it. I've read a lot of Werewolf games but I've somehow missed finding out about a detail of the rules.

If you are one of the werewolves, are there any particular rules for how you decided on a kill via PM? That is, do you cast a vote amongst the group of three before PMing the mod with the choice, or do you simply decide as a group the sensible way? Probably the latter, but I'm still curious to know for certain.

A good question. Normally the wolves simply discuss options until they all agree on someone. Occasionally they run out of time, or there's a communication breakdown, and one wolf has to make the decision alone. There's never actually been a formal rule about it, though.

Galadriel55 · 08-08-2012, 08:37 AM

Well I guess I still am in after all. I'm back and it still hasn't started.

Meneltarmacil · 08-08-2012, 03:09 PM

OK, I don't think it likely that we're going to get any more people involved, (and I did try PMing some people) so I'll start the game tomorrow. With the low number of players, it will be an old-school "3 wolves and a Seer" game.

As for the deadline, I'm thinking 9 AM US Eastern Time, which I believe works out to 2 PM GMT.

That sounds good

So, you shall send role PM's tonight, yes?

Meneltarmacil · 08-08-2012, 03:53 PM

That's correct.

Galadriel55 · 08-08-2012, 04:59 PM

Menel, something similar happened to Foley's game (you were away from the Downs at the time). Couldn't get it started for... ever? But then it finally got enough players in the end and all the cool roles were there.

So don't get discouraged... it's just that everyone leaves around now for Britmoot, and of course they are too busy to play. When they all come back though, in a couple weeks, I'd say it's likely there'll be a wave of willing victims... erm, players, I mean.

Though it's up to you. If you want to mod sooner...

It's just that I was excited to see the new twist to the roles. But if it doesn't work, it just doesn't work.

Meneltarmacil · 08-08-2012, 05:06 PM

Whoever's modding the next game is free to use the "two cobblers" variant, so it may still see the light of day. In fact, if you want to mod the next one, G55, it's open.

Anyhow, I still need an occupation, so I'll be a fisherman.

Nogrod · 08-08-2012, 05:18 PM

It's always sad to see a game stalling like this...

I have been and just will be too busy to take part at this moment... maybe later when fall comes and things settle down in RL.

I do hope as well that you don't feel disencouraged Menel - and all the new players: this is not how things go "normally". The Brit-Moot takes many people out of the game, the starting of a sememster in some countries explains another piece, etc...

Have a good game and enjoy!

Oftentimes small old-skool games are the best ones!

Galadriel55 · 08-08-2012, 05:52 PM

I was just thinking... I've never been in a game where the Seer is the only role either! So I'm still excited to play in this one, for a different reason.

That still doesn't scratch it that it's a shame to drop the cobblers. But what can we do but to make the most of the time that is given to us?

Meneltarmacil · 08-08-2012, 11:57 PM

Roles have been assigned; if you did not get a PM from me, you are an Ordinary Villager.

The game thread will open at the beginning of Night 1, seven hours from now.

Meneltarmacil · 08-09-2012, 08:52 AM

Sorry I'm late, overslept. Should have been 2 hours earlier. Anyhow it is now Night 1. Game thread will be up momentarily.

Galadriel55 · 08-10-2012, 05:37 PM

Sorry guys, unexpectedly crazy day. Losing a kitten somewhere in the house, then work and stuff, and missing a bus that comes once an hour, and now that I finally sat down by my computer I get news that in five minutes we're leaving to visit someone. I'll be back before midnight.

To make up for this, I'll wake up early tomorrow to be on before DL.

Meneltarmacil · 08-11-2012, 06:54 AM

If he doesn't post at all today, I've decided to let Pitchwife live until the end of Day 2 (assuming he's not lynched today, of course). If he's still silent then. I'm killing him off.

Galadriel55 · 08-11-2012, 07:04 AM

Pitch probably doesn't know the game has started, that's all.

satansaloser2005 · 08-11-2012, 07:15 AM

Whoa. The deadline is 8, not 7? Iiiiiiiiiiinteresting. *flops back into bed*

Pitchwife · 08-11-2012, 01:17 PM

Sorry Menel and everybody else, I hadn't checked the Downs for a couple of days and totally failed to realize the game had started all of a sudden.

I'll do my best to make amends for my non-performance toDay.

Meneltarmacil · 08-11-2012, 03:07 PM

Not a problem. I'm glad to see you made it.

satansaloser2005 · 08-13-2012, 07:21 AM

The wolves?!

Yes, that was a mistake on my part. There's only one wolf left.
