Admin thread for WW XXIIX - Queer Lodgings

[Oddwen]

Hello again Werewolfers - I am looking for (at least) sixteen willing Downers to participate in yet another game of Werewolf on Monday, January 7th 2007.

This episode of the saga is entitled "Queer Lodgings", and will take place in the House of Beorn.

For the purpose of narration, the characters are as follows -

Beorn - Thinlomien
Gandalf the Grey - Valier
Bilbo Baggins - Meneltarmacil
Thorin Oakenshield - Anguriel
Balin - Kath
Dwalin - dancing spawn of ungoliant
Gloin - Kitanna
Oin - Volo
Dori - Boromir88
Nori - Rune son of Bjarne
Ori - Durelin
Fili - Naria
Kili - Eomer of the Rohirrim
Bifur - Nilpaurion Fegalund
Bofur - Nogrod
Bombur - Holbytlass
Durin the Deathless - Farael


First come, first choice. Roleplaying is not necessary, this is for narration purposes only.

Three POSSESSED (wolves)
One SKINCHANGER (hunter)
One PROTECTOR (ranger)
One SNEAK (seer)
Two TWINS (lovers)
Eight ORDOs (ordos)

The Protector will be slightly different than the normal Ranger - he/she will choose someone to guard, and if that person is chosen by the wolves, that person would be saved but the Protector will die instead. What do you all think of the Protector being able to do this during the day too, if they choose so?

'Kay, has anything major changed/been decided since um...WW XII or so? I haven't been following very many games.

What are your thoughts on double lynching? Twins communicating during the day? Anything else of concern?


Known abscences:

[Kath]

I'm in Oddwen! Um, I guess I'll be Balin if that's what you meant?

Personally I dislike double lynches but if the village was pretty large then I could deal with it. Anything else is fine.

Oh, and if you do change the start date it isn't going to affect me so feel free to make it earlier!

[Rikae]

I would LOVE to play, if I can get permission to miss the ninth -that is, if I'm alive. If I can be Bilbo, wel'll just say I'm lost under the Misty Mountains...

EDIT or the 8th, depending on how the division of days/nights works out.

[Valier]

Count me in!! Well I shall be the great Gandalf the Grey. I can't promise he won't decloak though I like double lynching, but no more than two people can die, not four...... Also what time of the day do you think you will have the deadline Oddwen? This I need to know, so I hopefully can be around near the end most days

[Oddwen]

The begin/end time will be about 8:30 am MST (gmt - 7).

[Naria]

I will be Fili!

What do you all think of the Protector being able to do this during the day too, if they choose so?

I dunno about this,hmmm. So this means that the Proctector is protecting someone from a lynch? Would the Protector, in turn, die as a result during the day? I say no to this idea. It's bad enough that the Protector has a double chance of dying at night

Double lynchings aren't bad as long as the game has enough people to pull it off. IF you are doing double lynchings....then please, please no more than double ones. I think I might actually need therapy after that last quad

[Rikae]

So, 10:30 AM EST and 3:30 PM GMT, then? In that case, I'll be missing day two (1/9).

[Oddwen]

Yeah, it does seem a little weak. Takes too much from the hunter role.

So, 10:30 AM EST and 3:30 PM GMT, then? In that case, I'll be missing day two (1/9).

Mkay...noted.

I really don't want someone to be absent for more than one day. Otherwise, I'll kill you off.

If more than sixteen people want to play, I'll make up more dwarves.

Off to think up some death scenes...that probably won't get used...

[Kitanna]

I'd like to play. Sign me up as Gloin.

[Rikae]

On second thought, I'd better not sign up. It'll be nearly impossible for me to post on day one, and if I'm not participating much in the first 2 days, I ought to step aside and let someone who has more time play.

[Holbytlass]

I'll be Bombur, please.

I prefer no double lynchings, no retractable votes, I don't see where the hunter protecting could be helpful during the day other than getting themselves lycnched.
As always I'll go along with mod's laws and majority rule.

I'm fine on any time/date

Darn! Let me be Bofur then...

(I hope to have my net access at home repaired soon enough...)

[Anguirel]

I am sooo Thorin.

Bow, commoners, to the rightful King under the Mountain...

[Valier]

Just a warning, I won't be around most days towards the deadline seeing as it will be quite early in the morning for me (7:30 am or so) but I may be able to make it some days. And Ang.....If Gandalf bows down....His cloak might just slip off...

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Ooh, can't resist!

Dwalin for me, please. He's got the best instrument.

[Folwren]

I'll join, if I may. I shall play Dori. I always liked him - he rescued Bilbo a couple times and seemed to be a nice chap.

Do we have to call eachother by our dwarven names? (Or, for the others, wizard, hobbit, and Beorn names?)

-- Dori

It's not necessary...in the narrative, I'll probably just call you guys "Anguriel Oakenshield" or "Valier the Grey", etc.

But wot about those poor fellows (like me) who don't have obvious second titles?

[Meneltarmacil]

I'll sign up as Bilbo Baggins.

[Oddwen]

Worry not Folwri - I'll think of something.

[Meneltarmacil]

My thoughts:

Protector: Not so good. Doesn't really benefit the village a whole lot, as somebody still dies.

Twins: I don't have a whole lot of experience with the Lovers concept, so I can't really say much.

Double lynchings: Don't really mind them, but if they're to be banned, I'd have the victim be chosen randomly between the top vote-getters. That should be fun.

[Nogrod]

Just got my net working! Yay!

Just a notice from Lommy.

She will be playing too and would like to be Beorn.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Can I play as Bifur?

[Holbytlass]

What are the twins (lovers)? Are they both good or are they paired up with a baddie?

If one dies then the other dies automatically? If not, then I think there may be a slightly unfair advantage against the wolves since there are so many gifted roles. I say this because the wolves seem to be caught since most of us have been playing for so long, except with the help of the cobblers . I'd have to check Kuru's statistics to be sure...

With the addition of Ballroom Blitz, the wolves have one by 1 (13-12).

[Oddwen]

I was planning to make them both goodies, and yes.

I am inclined not to allow double lynchings, as there was a spot of trouble with that in my last game.

[Thinlómien]

It has been too long since my last game.

I must say I will be enjoying playing the Hairy Host. And never mind my strange voting times and slight getting online -problems*: isn't Beorn the kind of guy to come and go in weird hours and weird ways?

----
* I don't have a net access home, but that hasn't prevented me from playing during the whole autumn...

[Volo]

Please put VolO in the game.

Uh oh, cryptic clues already?! We're really going to have watch this one.

Thanks, Oddwen, for the clarification.

Ooh, Nilp and Anguriel are playing!!

Also, just for the record, unbeknownst to Bilbo at the time of the adventure, Bombur is most definitly female.

Indeed

So is his wizard...and his host...and most of the other dwarves...even your thread didn't touch upon that, Saucie.

Would you be a'signin' up there?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I know I played in the last game too but...I want in!

I'll be Kili.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

as I said on the other thread, I would really like to join.

I will return home on the 7th so other than maybe being a bit late on the first day there should be no problem.

[Oddwen]

Wheee!

Would you like the prime spot of Nori or Ori, Runi?


That leaves one spot - however, I do have a couple of auxiliary ideas if more people would like to play.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Nori of course. . . Ori is just a lesser Nori, but I must admit that Runi The Red Dwarf has a sertain ring to it.

[Durelin]

I really shouldn't be doing this, but I just can't help myself...

May I take the last spot as Nori? Modding made me really want to play.

But if someone else would like to play, and the auxiliary plan is not preferred, I am quite fine with stepping out.

(Oh, and for XXVII players who still care, I promise I'll finally have the final narrative up tonight. I'm so sorry it's taken so long. Really lost it's "magic," by now, I think, but it shall be done!)

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Hey I just claimed Nori!

Ori you shall be called, if I have a say. . . but I guess it is all up to Oddwen

[Durelin]

Oh, sorry, my mistake! I read your post wrong somehow, Rune.

I meant whichever of the two you weren't...so Ori. Sorry!

Regrettably, no, much as I would like to as I have wonderful memories of your first game. I have too much on at the moment to devote the time that my Werewolfing style requires ...

[Folwren]

Actually, if it comes to anyone stepping out, I think it should be me. I am clearly not as excited to play as Durelin. And I did play the last game and will be modding the next...So, if someone else wants to play, remove my name.
