Now, Gil, that's not very nice!
Actually, I don't think I'll be as busy as I thought, so I should be around to post.

I'm going on holiday on Sunday, I kind of thought the game would be finished then.
However... I've just rung up the hotel I'm going to be staying in as of Sunday, to ask them if they had internet access, and they assured me they did, so (assuming of course I'm still around in the game and its still going on!) all should be well. (Although my nearest and dearest have now written me off as worse than sad, for making that call...)

Today (Friday) is a Day, Saturday is a Night, and Sunday is a Day. You three should be ok as far as posting goes, I don't think you'll miss a DAY.

Is this where a chap asks if he can join the lynchings?
If that's the case, I'd like to be added to the list whenever the next game begins. If it's not, people can always write me again like the did when I first wrote in the wrong place. But I'm thinking this is where I'm supposed to be. - Folwren

Folwren this is the place for recruitment though it won't officially start until the current game is over. I'm still wondering who the mod will be.

I'd like to mod, but not till after Sept 6th. That's when my children go back to school and then I have time to devote to the game. So that roughly puts it at game X, assuming of course, that all those who have sighned up before me has had their turns.

"Should I wait and post again when the present game is over?" ~Folwren
Usually they catch people who reqested spots before official recruitment...I'm sure Encaitare won't miss you, and if she does you can just re-post then and remind her

I'm signing up for werewolf IX. Heh-heh, on a side note, in school many years ago, they would make us use VIIII instead. Rather lame.

I enjoyed the last Werewolf game, and would like to sign up for Enca's game as well. My role will be that of Zookeeper.

I would like to play again, but whether I can depends when it starts. I am going away for a week on a business trip on 18 September (to Rio )> So unless it starts some time next week, it's unlikely I'll be able to play (since it's likely to take at least two weeks).
If I do play, don't expect me to be as vocal as I was in the last game. I need to get some sleep, and I need to get some work done!

I had a ball in the last game, so I am dying to join the next.
But....can you put me down as *tentative*? I'll step out if you get a lot of people interested. I have school starting soon, anyway...so I should probably focus more on that. Probably. (ha ha) |

I must be honest and say that I didn't enjoy the role of the Black Beorning. I think it's pretty pointless, really. Anyone else?
I can't play in this one, but I'll be watching it closely. Good luck Enca.

I thik that it added a fantastic new dimension to the game. Two kills per Night, decisions whether to try lynching a Wolf or the Bear, almost untraceable Werebear behaviour balanced by the fact that he is out of the game on a single Wolf kill or lynching (and is trumped by a Wolf survivor). It worked for me.
My only reservation would be that it may have tipped the game against the Wolves, but I doubt that is the case. Another innocent Villager would act the same way as far as hunting for the Wolves is concerened. And they benefit from the two kills per Night. The Wolves were unlucky to have a Wolf go down on the first Day - there was no particular reason to suspect Mithalwen any more than a number of others that Day. In my view, it worked well. Although it made for a terrifically long and stressful game.

I enjoyed watching this game with the werebear, it was probably clearer to people in the game but Saucepan Man's right--it added a new dimension, a new worry, to the game.
The biggest problem I see is that if it's a small village 2 kills per night can be very damaging, but for the size they had (20 people I think) it seemed to be alright.

Post 1.5 times 10 to the third!
I liked the Black Beorning -- it was exciting to watch, even though it offed me pretty early on.
List of players thus far for Werewolf IX: UPDATED! 1. Folwren - blacksmith 2. Shelob - student of the Ancient and Long-Dead Gadian Language; a llama famer on the side 3. Holbytlass - seller of "zoo-doo" fertilizer 4. the guy who be short 5. Meneltarmacil 6. WaynetheGoblin - dentist 7. wilwarin538 - tailor 8. Alcarillo 9. Durelin - Mistress of 1337 10. Saucepan Man - mushroom harvester 11. Kath - gardener 12. the phantom - apothecary 13. Azaelia of Willowbottom - flower-selling lass 14. Cailín 15. arcticstorm - coppersmith 16. Nonnacedak 17. mormegil - merchant 18. Gil-Galad - lawyer, has a pet bird 19. SamwiseGamgee 20. Glirdan - cheese seller 21. Bergil - very bad carpenter List is complete. [/update] I will be on vacation from Sunday, August 28 to Thursday, September 1. I'll probably be good to begin on September 3, if that's a good time frame for everyone. Now, for the timing of the game. I obviously want to pick a time frame which will be [relatively] convenient for everyone. I'll probably have the most time at night, say, around 10 EST? Or will that convert to be too heinously late for our players across the pond? If you're not night owls, I can bump it back by a few hours. (Oh, how my parents will love this! "Enca, go do your homework!" "But Mom, I have to write a gory death scene first!" ) Last edited by Encaitare; 08-27-2005 at 11:09 AM. |

I think that the number of players should be restricted to 20 max. Otherwise the game will go on too long and start to lose interest, I think. There are only so many times that one can go over the same commetns over and over ... Quote:

10 pm EST? Wow, in my time zone for once, but, unfortunately I get thrown off the comp before ten! (For my parents, it's not so much 'do your homework' as it is 'get to bed'...to little avail, of course.) Though, as long as it's still 24 hours...I'll just have to post late (evening of the next day).

This time thing, will the a day go from 3am to 3am (England time) because that should still allow plenty of time for posting or have I missed the point of this conversation?

Black Beorning
I thought it to be an interesting role though it may have been a bit of an over kill. If the wolves hadn't been killed with such efficiency then the village probably wouldn't have much of a chance. An option would be to only have 2 wolves though I don't much care for that idea either. I'm okay with playing games with the bear though I would like to see some games without.
I like many of the changes we have been adding but fear that we are on a course of needless complication to the games. Some new roles (ie the cobbler) have added a great element to game play but I think that we ought not to loose sight of the basics too. I know there is at least a couple of players that would like to see us move to the original format again. If that were the case we would need to have a smaller village. I think the size of the village should determine some of the roles we add (ie Shirriffs, werebear, etc...) Regarding the next game I'm not sure about it but I may play depending upon a couple of things. One future request I have of the Mod's is to not have it so early for those of us much further west. This game started at 6am which was just a bit too early for me.

I've been waiting to be able to join a game of werewolves, so if possible, I'd love to join this one. However, since I'm new to these forums, I'll gladly step aside for one of the oldies who did not have an opportunity to join a game yet.

I'm usually supposed to be off the computer by 10 PM, and that'll probably be pushed back to 9 PM during the school year which starts in September. However, timing shouldn't matter as long as we have 24-hour Days like the last game.
As far as having the Bear, I think it should only be used in villages of 17+ people or not at all, as a Bear is much harder to trace than Wolves are and the only way we were able to flush it out last time was to organize a mass lynching. Plus, I don't think two kills a Night would work well for smaller villages. Oh, and my zoo which I am zookeeper of will have lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, gorillas, wolves, and bears.

Okay, well consensus is that 10 PM is too late (or too early in the morning for some!). So, I can make that earlier in the evening, say 7 PM (EST) or so? That'll be midnight (I think) in the UK, which isn't too bad.
I'd like to have the Beorning in this game because it added a fun twist to the last one. But, as was already mentioned, it will only work in a larger game. Let's say, if we get around 20 people to play, there will be a Black Beorning. I will be updating the list of participants in just a moment. EDIT: Done! 15 players so far. Don't forget to supply a role or occupation! Last edited by Encaitare; 08-26-2005 at 12:04 PM. |

I'll add you to the list in my post #1105.
I've also added mormegil; there are 3 spots left. A new list will be posted once all the players have signed up. Last edited by Encaitare; 08-26-2005 at 01:19 PM. |
