Admin Thread: Weres of Eire - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-13-2007, 11:04 PM

Seeing no overt disapproval of my stated theme, I've decided to go ahead and open signups for WW: Weres of Eire.

Post here if you'd like to sign up. There will be special roles in this game, as well as plain innocents. I'm looking for roughly sixteen or so players, but I can go higher if needed.

- Votes are retractable once per day.
- The person with the majority of votes on them at the end of the day will be executed.
- If there is a tie, all players with the same amount of votes on them will be executed. (I suggest you try not to let a triple-innocent-lynch happen again.

)
- As to roles... I guess you'll just have to wait and see.

All I'll say for now is that innocents won't be completely defenseless.

(I hope you don't mind the shortened version of my signup list, but those accents stump me.

)

1. Lommy
2. Nogrod
3. Menel
4. Isabellkya
5. Rikae
6. Brinniel
7. Kath
8. Durelin
9. Eomer-Cailin
10. Espiem

Thinlómien · 08-14-2007, 03:16 AM

Sign me in, please.

My summer pause has been too long. *sharpens claws*

Nogrod · 08-14-2007, 11:08 AM

I'm joining in as well... It's a high time to stick into a game of werewolf once again.

I might try something different this time - in relation to my style of playing - but we'll see.

Meneltarmacil · 08-14-2007, 05:48 PM

I'm signing up too. Of course, I'm probably just going to get lynched on Day 1 again, but still...

Thinlómien · 08-15-2007, 03:35 AM

What are the rules going to be like? Retractable votes? Double lynchings? Will we know anything about the roles? Any specialities we will be aware of?

Gil-Galad · 08-15-2007, 12:31 PM

i would love to do this game, but with my game coming up right after i must get in the mindset for that so i will not be in this game... but i hope everyone will join mine after Shastas is complete

Isabellkya · 08-15-2007, 03:17 PM

I shall sign up; under penalty of death. :P

Rikae · 08-15-2007, 06:12 PM

I think I'll sign up as well. Only extremely distracting circumstances can keep me out of a WW game, and a new semester starting doesn't count as such.

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-15-2007, 11:02 PM

Wow, five signups already and all of them legends in their own right.

This game's going to be epic, I can feel it!

Brinniel · 08-17-2007, 01:23 PM

I'd really like to play...and with this particular title, I almost feel destined to.

But with my sister's wedding only a week away, I'm going to be very busy...and if the game starts soon, there's no way I can join.

You can go ahead and put me down with a question mark, if you like. If signups are slow, I can play as long as the game doesn't start until the 26th or 27th. That doesn't seem very likely, but with eleven players still needed, there's always a chance...

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-17-2007, 03:24 PM

Will do, Brinniel, and my thanks.

We still need more people!

Kath · 08-22-2007, 10:10 AM

I'm blaming Lommy for this ....

... I'm in.

What style of game is this? Simple or hidden surprises?

Thinlómien · 08-23-2007, 03:56 AM

Yay!

I'm so glad you're in.

The "crew" is looking quite promising.

Kitanna · 08-23-2007, 08:06 AM

I've been wanting to get into another WW game, but depending on the starting date I may not be able to join. Put me down as a maybe in this game.

Nogrod · 08-23-2007, 01:52 PM

Oh my... Kath is in... We're doomed...

Kath · 08-23-2007, 05:04 PM

Why do I sense that an early demise might be on the cards this game?

Durelin · 08-23-2007, 10:20 PM

I'll play, though I probably won't be able to post too often and too much, sorry.

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-24-2007, 12:13 PM

Woo! Only need a few more now...

Meneltarmacil · 08-25-2007, 01:41 PM

Kath, you should have at least until Day One is over before feeling nervous, as I'm pretty much Mr. Cannonfodder around here these days.

Kath · 08-25-2007, 05:18 PM

Well stop looking so suspicious.

But seriously don't worry about it. My first, ooh four or five games I was just cannon fodder every time (bar one notable exception). You'll break out the pattern soon I'm sure.

Kitanna · 08-25-2007, 09:50 PM

Yar, how I wished to play again, but school's starting soon and with it work and band. So I must pull my name from the list.

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-25-2007, 10:45 PM

I'm sorry to hear that, Kitanna.

Brinniel · 08-27-2007, 03:20 PM

Well, the wedding's all over so I can play for now. But we better recruit people and get started fairly soon...if we don't start by this time next week, I'll have to back out again. I move back to Boston on the 7th and college move-ins can always be a bit busy...

Thinlómien · 08-28-2007, 01:48 AM

I agree. Shasta, maybe you should pm invitations to people you know or like playing with?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 08-28-2007, 11:03 AM

Can Cailín and I sign up as one player? It will be revolutionary (also we'd not have to fight each other to discover any potentially furry secret). We'd use only one profile, unless you wanted things to get complicated.

We suppose Nilp played with split personalities, but that's slightly different.

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-28-2007, 01:30 PM

That would be fine, Eomer, and I'll take the question mark off you, Brinn. I'll see what I can do about recruiting... the lack of interest is making me cry

Gil-Galad · 08-28-2007, 09:24 PM

see i am still tempted to join, but i can't guarantee alot of involvement mainly because of my work has me away 5 hours a day so i would really only have like 4-5 hours of time that i could come on... don't worry i can still be a mod but as a player i am definately going to be rather absent

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-31-2007, 12:16 PM

All right.

Seeing as how no one's going to sign up, and one of my players will have to leave if I don't get the game started soonish, I've decided, barring any last minute signups, to start this game on Saturday, September 1st, about 7:00 PM CST. I'm not sure what that is in GMT, but I will be starting it. Get your signups in now if you want a role!

Thinlómien · 08-31-2007, 12:29 PM

CST is GMT -6.

So it's 1 am GMT and 4am for me and Noggie. Alright.

Oh, it feels like I had forgotten how to play this game... Let's hope not... *sharpens claws*

Meneltarmacil · 08-31-2007, 12:54 PM

Gah! I'm leaving for a trip on Saturday and won't be back until Monday. I didn't mention this earlier because I thought we were still going to wait for more people.

If it does start then, I'll miss Night 1, Day 1, and part of Night 2. I suppose I could get by alright, though.

Thinlómien · 08-31-2007, 12:57 PM

Well, you're only going to be missing Day1 so surely that shouldn't be a big problem... And seeing your siggy that might be just okay for you...

Brinniel · 08-31-2007, 02:11 PM

Tomorrow? Sounds good...I don't think I would be able to start any later. Considering our small amount of players I'm guessing this game won't be a long one...which is fine by me considering my schedule. But just in case, I will warn everyone that I'll be gone on the 7th and most likely the 8th. And I can't promise a lot of activity from me on the 6th and 9th, though I will be around. Once again...college move-ins are stressful...

But what am I saying? With my luck, I should be dead by Day 2 anyways.

Shasta, have you PMed any members? That usually seems to get at least one or two additional players...

Btw, are we starting with a Day or Night phase?

Meneltarmacil · 08-31-2007, 05:25 PM

Well, it's possible there may be an Internet connection where I'm going, but don't count on it.

**The Saucepan Man** · 08-31-2007, 06:31 PM

Hmm, my preference these days is for smaller games, so I'd like to sign up if it's not too late.

If my calculations are correct, we'll be starting at 2pm BST Saturday. Shasta, when are you sending the roles out and are we starting with a Day or Night phase?

Are we having roles? If so, I shall be an itinerant tarot card reader.

Nogrod · 08-31-2007, 06:46 PM

Go, go, go, go, go...

Shastanis Althreduin · 09-01-2007, 02:19 AM

Glad to have you, SPM. ^^

I'll be sending the roles out an hour or two before the game starts, to give people a chance to familiarize themselves with their roles. Say 5:00 PM.

The game will start with a Day phase, Day 1.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 09-01-2007, 01:26 PM

Maybe roles should be limited, seeing as it is a small game. Small is good for us: it goes by quicker but it gives a better chance for all players to interact with each other.

Our character shall be a warrior of Finn, the famous Irish hero, who happens to have a personality disorder. Cue hilarity.

Looking forward to the game!

Curses! And I was hoping for a Night phase. But that's okay...you guys will just have to look for a very early vote from me (like five hours early), and I'll have to pray I don't get mauled for it.

Stupid work schedule...

Durelin · 09-04-2007, 06:05 PM

So, are all days only 23 1/2 hours, or...? Yes, I know Shasta is unfortunately absent right now.

Ah well.

Durelin · 09-04-2007, 07:45 PM

You weren't very clear about the time, but whatever.
