Tol-in-Gaurhoth LIV: The Council of Evil- Admin Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Fourth Age of Middle-Earth

All was well with the Reunited Kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor and the Kingdom of Rohan. Sauron, that scourge of the earth was vanquished, various minor uprisings in Rhun and Harad were crushed or pacified, and the Free Peoples suffered from no internal strife. It appeared that a time of peace and joy was to be enjoyed after the last three ages of warfare, swaying power, and hatred. Dwarves, men, hobbits, and wood elves looked into their envisioned future and saw no flaw in the outlook. Life seemed good to them.

Yet it was not so with the remnants of evil. From their hiding places in the underground, in the mountains and in forgotten lands they watched the children of light with hatred and jealousy. The combined might of all the forces of darkness might have rivaled the Free Peoples, but most of Sauron's remaining servants were undisciplined and disorderly and the direct servants of Morgoth unwilling to quit their rest and endure war once more.

It appeared that no final strike was to be made against the good and beautiful.

But the Council of Evil was formed, great beasts and monsters of darkness banded together; and a shadow grew over the earth...

Uh... Gollum... I don't know how to break this to you... but if you want to mod a WW game, you have to put your name down on the waiting list.

Macalaure · 11-20-2008, 06:21 AM

As far as I can see, Gollum is next in line for modding.

You should have waited til the present game is over, though...

Nerwen · 11-20-2008, 06:28 AM

Well, my mistake. Sorry, Gollum. I just assumed you hadn't been around long enough.

Perhaps you're right, but wanted to get the thread up and not worry about it later. I can wait for the players before I start.

That's indeed quite a decent idea - and not unheard of or not done before... I think you can have a "beginning discussion" and enlistment to your game going on quite well even if the previous game is underway.

But then it would actually have to concern the nature of the game and such things. Posting only a teaser will not get all the people interested. Some people just love experimental games and others love the basic-ones. Giving some information of this might affect who would be interested in joining.

Also some mods are a bit more authoritative while others call for suggestions about what kind of a game the possible players would like to play. This thread could be just the place for you to tell us your stance on these issues and get some discussion going on.

Though it sure would be polite to wait with the starting of the game until the previous game has finished so that people from that game might join yours and maybe have a day or two to just comment and laugh about the incidents of that one before engaging to a new one.

Being a newbie mod I'm not exactly sure what is meant by basic and experimental, but I think this game will lean toward being ordinary with couple of twists. Votes will probably be non-retractable and ties for lynching will result in the first chosen to be killed.

I welcome suggestions but doubt if I will use many.

Thanks for the advice Nogrod.

Well, if you need someone....I suppose I could be persuaded to join.

Either deadline I'll be away for, but I'll do my best if you want me.

If not, no hard feelings. I'm rather busy, but you look a few people short and I'm always good lynch fodder.

Gollum the Great · 12-21-2008, 11:17 PM

Thanks, Sally.

Aganzir · 12-23-2008, 11:09 AM

So what are we going to do with Christmas?

At least we in Finland (Nog & I) will probably be rather busy tomorrow but as it's Night then, it shouldn't be that bad.
So would we have a prolonged night (ie tomorrow and the day after tomorrow), or a normal night and a prolonged day after that? Or something else?
And should we tell our preferences here or PM them to you?
