We have 15 players, exactly the number that Foley wanted for her game... Was it cursed or something?

Will all of us recieve PMs before N1 - even the ordos?

Inziladun · 06-23-2011, 03:56 PM

I count 14. Have I missed someone?

Everyone will get a PM regardless of role.

Ooops! Proves that I can't count.

Inziladun · 06-24-2011, 05:41 AM

Signups are now closed. Since there were no objections, the DL will be 2400 GMT.

Sometime today I'll send PMs for the roles and put up the Game Thread.

Inziladun · 06-24-2011, 12:41 PM

Game Thread is up, roles to go out soon.

Inziladun · 06-24-2011, 01:42 PM

All roles are out. If you didn't get one, or at any time you have a question, let me know.

Three things:

1. I would ask the baddies to hold off communicating until the game officially begins.
2. Everyone should be on Invisible Mode while you are an active (living) player.
3. The roles were chosen at random by writing names on slips of paper and picking them out of a coffee cup.

Rolling a d12 is better.

What do you mean you didn't have twelve players? Oh, right.

I used to have a d12 years ago, but I don't ever recall having a d14.

You should always consider your options.

I do! Including the option to consider my options!

Night 1 beginning shortly. Don't forget to be invisible!

Galadriel55 · 06-25-2011, 07:53 AM

I just got news that I am going away for the long weekend - next week's Friday to Sunday. I think I'll be missing 2 Nights and a Day in the very heat of the game...

Inziladun · 06-25-2011, 08:15 AM

No drama. If you can vote on Day 4, which begins on Friday, do so, but it's no big deal if you can't. You should be back in time for Day 5 beginning on Sunday.

Lhunardawen · 06-25-2011, 12:17 PM

Gah. How did I miss this. *facepalmheaddesk*

Ah well. I probably would have committed suicide (again) by Day 2, anyway. Well wishes, modgod and players.

Eomer, there WILL be a next time.

Nilp:

Inziladun · 06-25-2011, 06:28 PM

You're excused this time, Lhuna. When you do play again though, I may have to vote you on Day 1 just for spite.

Sorry about the late narrative, folks. Out seeing an old friend and lost track of time.

Mithalwen · 06-26-2011, 03:51 PM

I can't see it on the general guidelines or here but Eomer said votes should be highlighted - if so how is this done? Thanks......

You can highlight the same way you would bold or italicize. Use [] brackets and put highlight in them instead of b or i. Does that make sense? I've someone babbling at me and can't keep my brain in order to save my life. :/

Mithalwen · 06-26-2011, 04:00 PM

I just click on the symbols but lets try,

++Grima Wormtongue

Mithalwen · 06-26-2011, 04:01 PM

OK a fiddle but it works.... cheers..must allow for that when posting votes.

satansaloser2005 · 06-26-2011, 04:01 PM

Precisely.

Nerwen · 06-26-2011, 08:11 PM

...So, no one was really expecting me to make a Day One vote, were they?

...blah, blah, circumstances beyond my control, blah, blah...

Inziladun · 06-26-2011, 09:29 PM

I think people would be more shocked if Nerwen did vote on Day 1.

Inziladun · 06-28-2011, 09:44 AM

The thought occurred to me that I didn't say whether votes are retractable. They aren't.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-30-2011, 09:06 AM

Due to things of a certain nature, I have considered backing out of this game, and shall make my final decision in seven hours or so.

Inziladun · 06-30-2011, 09:08 AM

Obviously, I'd rather you didn't, mate. I understand if you have to, though.

satansaloser2005 · 06-30-2011, 01:36 PM

So this weekend I'll also be at camp (though not as staff, so I'll be able to sneak away once or twice to post if I can manage to get decent reception). Still, I'll have but one or two posts toMorrow at most. I just wanted to let everyone know.

I'll of course be saying this on the game thread as well, just in case anyone misses it here.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 06-30-2011, 07:12 PM

So, yeah, sorry I missed voting this DAY, I overslept and then got screwed (yes, in that order) by confusion over taxation policies. Whatever that means.

And since I didn't even want to open the game thread, it must be that bad. Therefore, I'm throwing myself off a cliff, Húrin-style (i.e. pulling out of the game.)

Really, really sorry to pull off this soap opera stuff in your game, Zil.

Galadriel55 · 06-30-2011, 07:31 PM

I will be away until the beginning of Day 5. I hope you don't lynch me toMorrow during my absense (stabbing me from behind?

), but, if you will, then, well, you will.

Inziladun · 06-30-2011, 07:32 PM

No problem, Nilp. I've had games like that. I've only gotten to play with you that one time we were both wolves, and I had a blast. So I hope to see you playing again soon.
You'll be written out at the beginning of the Day toMorrrow.

Inziladun · 07-01-2011, 05:55 AM

Legate has notified me he is having to withdraw as well.
The narrative will reflect his and Nilp's departure.

Kitanna · 07-01-2011, 06:23 AM

Why are so many people dropping out?

Inziladun · 07-01-2011, 07:10 AM

Legate's apparently going to have unexpected net access issues for a period of time, that's all.

Let's have no more dropouts though, all right?

Kitanna · 07-01-2011, 07:14 AM

I promise not to dropout Zil...oh wait

Inziladun · 07-01-2011, 07:42 AM

Yeah, they took care of that for you.

If we finish by the sixth....

satansaloser2005 · 07-01-2011, 08:26 AM

Also, Master Inziladun, the villainous Mith seems to have joined the legions of the undead.

EDIT: Ah, I see someone pulled off a head shot. Excellent. ^_^

Inziladun · 07-01-2011, 08:36 AM

Now how'd that happen?

Thanks for the heads up.

Nogrod · 07-01-2011, 12:05 PM

Oh my... no more dropouts, please...

I second this. Can't we just be content to kill each other the old-fashioned way?

Also, I'll be leaving tonight before DL, so I may not be back until right before DL toMorrow (if even then). I'll post if/when I can, but do know that I'm away.
