Admin Thread for WW LXXXIX: The Terror of Tol Fuin
Quote:
After the great War of Wrath in the First Age, the shape of the land in western Middle-earth was changed. Most of Beleriand, the place in which the Eldar and Edain had for so long laboured in the fight against Morgoth, was drowned under the Sea. At the beginning of the Second Age, it was believed that only three parts of the Lands Under the Wave had remained above the waters. Those were: the island of Himling, which was the higher portion of the Hill of Himring upon which Meadhros, eldest son of Fëanor had his fortress; Tol Morwen, where it was said the graves of Morwen Eledhwen and her son Túrin, great among the Edain and the slayer of the worm Glaurung, were to be found; and Tol Fuin, the highest part of the highland of Dorthonion, which had come to be known as a haunt of evil, and a place to be avoided by the Children of Ilúvatar. As remnants of an older time, the three islands, especially Tol Morwen, would surely have been of interest to those in Middle-earth. In particular one would think the Dúnedain might think of finding them. Yet, tales do not seem to speak of such journeys. Were they not attempted? Or were there voyages made to find the islands that ended with dark results? ================================================== ================================================== ================================================== ================================================== Welcome to WW LXXXIX: The Terror of Tol Fuin. What I have in mind is a fairly basic game, with one twist as to one of the roles (see below). RULES: Day and Night will each last for 24 hours. Players vote once once Day for the player they want to kill. Votes should be highlighted and bolded, like this: ++Inzil. Votes are non-retractable. Votes will be counted up to the DL. For instance, if the DL is 2400, a vote posting at 2400 Downs time would count. A vote posting at 2401 would not. Failure to vote for 2 consecutive Days will result in modfire without a valid excuse. There are no double-lynches. If a tie is reached, the last person receiving that number of votes will be lynched. DL: 2400 GMT. ROLES: Seer- Standard Seer with one dream per Night. Will be told the role of xyr target. Ranger- May protect one person of xyr choice each Night. May not self-protect, or protect the same person two consecutive Nights. *Twist- If the Ranger and the Wolves have the same target, I will roll a 6-sided die, with the results as follows: 1-2--The Ranger not only protects the wolves' target, xe also manages to kill one of the wolves (which wolf to die randomly determined); 3-4--The Ranger is killed by the wolves, and they still kill their original target; and 5-6--The Ranger and a randomly chosen wolf both die. The wolves' original target remains unharmed. **Note- The above events only occur the first time the Ranger and the Wolves target the same person. After that, the Ranger will simply protect xyr target with no one dying. Wolves- 3 of them. Standard wolves with Night PM abilities among themselves. Send in one kill-choice per Night. Ordos- Cannon fodder, lynch bait. *Seer-dreams, Ranger-picks, and Wolf-kills should be in to me no later than 1 hour before DL. Wolves win when their number equals number of remaining innocents. Innocents win when all wolves are killed. Signups are closed. PLAYERS: Bom Tombadillo Nogrod Shasta Kitanna G55 Sally Eomer Nerwen Loslote Greenie Lommy Nilp Mithalwen Legate

I think the traditional ratio has been 3 wolves in a village of 15 - so even if three wolves is probably better in a village of twelve than just two, I wouldn't go adding the number of wolves with the first ones going over 12...
But yes, count me in. Long time, no werewolf. Time to correct that.

I'm in!
I might be away for a few days during the next two weeks, but I don't think I'll miss too much. Also, I'll be away for a while after July 10, but I think we'll finish before that.

Excellent! Already halfway there.
To hopefully forestall that, all roles will be randomly assigned. I'd like to think it'll be over before July 10th, but that largely depends on how quickly we get the minimum number signed up.

Incidentally, I just realized the date. The sooner we start, the better, as I leave to staff at camp on the sixth of July.

Noted. If anyone knows of a person they can threaten, er, persuade rather, we need five more players.

A Nerwen and a Lottie. Most excellent.
Also, I added in The Rules what happens to votes that come right at DL.

It's way too long since I last played. Sign me up, please.
Oh, and Lommy asks you to add her as a questionmark.

Good heavens! That was so long ago.
Ah, well, that game was where suspicious tendencies ended and suicidal tendencies began.

Then I would have joined, sans hesitation.
But as you can see, they have already succeeded in bullying me.

There's a couple of players who have an interest in getting started soon, so really we're only waiting for the minimum number to sign up. You getting in would do it, and all we'd need to see is whether Lommy is in for sure. I could start Night 1 tomorrow, meaning Day One would start Saturday at 2400 GMT.

Midnight GMT would be lovely--8am my time, which means I can do late-DAY shenanigans that could get me lynched, nya~. And if I read this right, DAY 1 starts Sunday morning. Excellent, excellent.

Right then! If I can get a final word about Lommy sometime today or early Friday, I can have the game thread up for 2400 GMT tomorrow and get started.

You can confirm my participation - and please add Legate to the player list too. (He'll miss the first half of Night1 for sure in case possible fellow wolves are wondering btw but otherwise no problem with his participation...)
