Oh gods, I've traveled all my life and still there are shores foreign and strange to me, what cruel joke you play in my never-ending odyssey. So though Colin Mute, a sailor, having lost his one eyed captain.

So. Is everyone fine with starting Night 1 on Monday the 23rd at 9:00 pm BST, ie. tomorrow?

Aanyhow. Here's the final role description: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - lovers. Only win if both survive till the end (regardless of whether it's the Lions or the Inn who win the rest of the game). Can communicate at night. The Bear, being a Werebear, kills one person a night as long as the the Maiden is alive. If she dies, the Bear then chooses to help the side that did not kill her (that is, becomes effectively an ordo if she's night killed, or cobbler if she's lynched). NB: don't read too much into the choice of gender pronouns.

A hello from your other landlord here! So that I actually get notifications now.

I'm in, but I will be quiet at times (or maybe all the time), and I will be gone for four days this weekend. I highly doubt I will have internet access there, so I will just have to miss 2-3 phases. Assuming I'm alive. EDIT: PS: DL was about 2 and a half hours ago, right?

An hour and a half from your post, and two hours ago from now - remember it's summer time!

YESSS, we have the numbers for the Bear and Maiden. I will continue to be pleased by this even if I get eaten by the Bear.
Ah, I see. Good to know. I think I'll still stick with being a hermit who lives in the North, though, since it's a super flexible role. I will have wandered off from one of the Northern houses, but which one it was has been lost in the mists of time. |

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, I really shouldn't join a game whose DL is in the middle of my work day....
Expect little posting anywhere near DL (and most of those from my phone), but I'm in. I know/care not of things related to GoT, so I'll just be a random peasant. Unless there's a House Cupcake or something.

This is shaping up to be *so* great game, but I'm afraid I will have to pull out (unless it started only in two weeks). I won't be able to play during the next week, and in fact, not very much already from this Thursday on. Why is it always timed like this...

Hey! If the game starts tonight, I'd like to play. I'll be a disowned Lannister Imp if you don't mind. No spoilers please but if the Imp dies I won't bother watching GoT any longer.

I've sent BW a message regarding getting Jonathan's account cleared. I'm trying to decide what to do in the event that he does not get posting privileges in time, as I mostly signed up to introduce him to the game.

I do hope you'll play in any case! Missing night 1 doesn't really matter all that much because even if he gets a special role (they'll be chosen randomly), there's nothing that can't be taken care of by facebook or email. I'm hopeful, although I must admit you're not the only people annoyed at how inane account creation seems these days. (Those who haven't followed the conversation on the facebook Barrow-Downs group, the mods removed automatic membership because of the recent influx of spammers, and sometimes you have to wait quite long before they approve you, and even so it doesn't necessarily work - this is like Jon's third attempt at joining the Downs.)

I am in! Thank gods for members who joined years ago and remember their password. Maybe I'll have my own username by the next one. This is Jon (Th4nleon) for people who know me from FB/IRL. I'll join House Martell, but my IC probably won't be terribly accurate as I haven't read the books yet.

The sign-ups are now closed, and we have sent out the roles. If you didn't get a PM (we recommend checking facebook if your PM box was full), let us know. Also, we made a slight change to the Bear and the Maiden Fair - if one dies (as opposed to 'if the Maiden dies'), the remaining lover (as opposed to 'the Bear') will avenge them by helping the side that didn't kill them. Night 1 starts in roughly half an hour. I'll take this moment to warn you against spoilers. Remember that not everyone has read the books or watched the show, and some may want to do so without getting spoiled. What happens in the outer world has little to do with what's happening at the Inn right now, so let's stick to keeping plot references to a minimum.

I respect the non-spoiler rule, but I'm not sure how we can roleplay that well if we can't even refer to events from the show.
I guess I'll have to be reeeally subtle with a house that barely appears in the first three books and is absent from the show so far. |

As I have no knowledge whatever of the books, there'll be no rp stuff from me.

Well luckily werewolf is a game that requires a high level of subtlety. Use your own judgment and don't tell people things you wouldn't want to have been told yourself.

This is Encai posting under what will likely be Jonathan/Lote's new account, if the post goes through. Thanks BW for validating!
Edit: great success! |

I, Jonathan, WythDryden, shall go by this name, in the house Martell, rather than Lote. Apparently if your lovely other signs up for you they'll make things happen.
Sorry for the double-post, but I figure in this instance it's not too bad, as I'm actually my own person this time. |

Or Lord Snow?
But the Bear still loses his power, right? Also, do these two communicate at Night?

Mother have mercy!
But seriously, I think this is the biggest game I've played in. I don't remember the games of my wolfy youth, but the last several were definitely much smaller.

Sorry about not voting on Day 1. My internet connection went down not long after my last post in the game thread. (It's working again now, obviously. I hope it won't make a habit of this sort of timing.)

I love these.
Also Moddess Maria won't be around for the end of the Night so could all Night people PM their business to me please. My inbox is empty this time!

I'm terribly sorry for missing the Day, darlings. Work was hectic and I didn't have the time to check the forum. Fortunately I'll be around for most if not all of the weekend, so I'll do my best to catch up then.

I'm gonna miss the next couple Days, so be good village, get a few more baddies in the meantime. Or I'll come back and haunt you!
