Each Day, as usual, will be 24 hours in duration (give or take), as will each Night. We will begin with a Night Cycle. Day/Night transitions will probably be made at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, which is 5:00 p.m EST, and should be 10:00 pm in Greenwich.

Hmm. So 10pm-10pm - right, that should be alright, although I will probably be quite for about 18hrs of that... Would this still be alright? I mean, I can post realistically until say 11pm at night, then in the day I generally get home at about 5pm, leaving 5hrs at the end of the day for me to post. I hope this will be alright

Alright, as for a role... I'll be a Rohirric traveller who has worked for the past year as a guide through the forest and mountains around Rhovannion who is based in this small village.

Actually, we are moving house on 6 Jan and I'm not sure how long it will be until we get the internet connecetion back up again. So I'm gonna have to sit this one out, albeit reluctantly.

Formendacil · 01-02-2006, 01:31 PM

Eluchil has been added to the list.

We are now full up unless someone wants to back out. I believe that Azaelia is considering.

I am still not certain as to when I will be starting, and it probably won't be announced until Friday. I would expect a Monday the 9th start, if I were you (I believe that's the 10th for you Filipinos), but if it turns out that I will be around on Sunday, then I will start the game on Saturday (the 7th).

Holbytlass · 01-02-2006, 02:14 PM

Since I am not up on what was in Gondorian 3rd Age Rhovannion, I'm allowing Mod-God Formendacil to choose for me. Make it good!!

Spiffy. I'll be the mild-mannered Inn Keeper...with a dark, horrible secret...

Formendacil · 01-02-2006, 05:47 PM

The occupations on the list is updated with Eluchil...

Mmmm.... making up a job for Holby...

This could be fun!

Shall it boring, interesting, or EVIL!!!

Or, more to the point, shall it be Formendacil, Moderadacil, or Saurondacil who does the picking...

malkatoj · 01-02-2006, 06:28 PM

Oh darn, I always miss this...

If anyone backs out, I'd like to play.

Eonwe · 01-02-2006, 06:32 PM

yeah me too...

sign me up if there are two openings...

Holbytlass · 01-03-2006, 07:30 AM

I'm sorry but unexpected business has cropped up that will keep me busy for awhile, I'm going to have to back out. And I was so looking forward to this village of fresh blood!

Lhunardawen · 01-03-2006, 07:33 AM

A business already? You don't even have an occupation yet!

Kidding aside, that's too bad, Holby. I was looking forward to another game with you.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2006, 07:34 AM

This is my second consecutive game that I had to have someone else sign me up. Just an observation. (Thank you, vzv, Ms. spawn.

)

I shall now take the role that I had once failed to play: the Suspicious Carnivore.

Oh no, he'll be doing that again. Stop him!

What do I do?!

I dunno. Hit him in the head, or something.

Lhunardawen · 01-03-2006, 07:38 AM

Oh no, not the suicidal player again...

Please do hit him, Adam...Alice...whoever.

Formendacil · 01-03-2006, 02:24 PM

Okay, Holby is out, Malkatoj is in, the list has been updated, and Nilp is still crazy. So far, so good.

Still no certainty as to the game-start.

Garin · 01-03-2006, 04:27 PM

Darn, the one that welcomed me aboard is out. Hope to see you next time Holby.

I think the day he stops being crazy is the day the Werewolf games will end.

mormegil · 01-05-2006, 11:26 AM

Formendacil I'm a bit confused about the seer role, while I'm not playing in this game I'm confused about what the new role is. Why are they dreaming of a dead villager and what can that villager tell them?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-05-2006, 11:45 AM

I did not even notice this part of the post before just now.

Yes, I just now realized that you are quite a 'misplaced' individual. I wasn't even aware that the hobbits were such an unruly crowd as to need a peace activist.

Formendacil · 01-05-2006, 01:34 PM

Rune's occupation is noted and added to the XVI thread.

An explanation, in greater detail, that is hopefully adequate, has also been added to the XVI thread.

malkatoj · 01-05-2006, 02:46 PM

Woohoo, I exist! I guess I'll be needing a role, then...

I would like to be a Professor in the Philosophy department at the University of Woolamaloo.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How about we leave it as Professor of Philosophy.... I rather doubt if the University of Woolamaloo would be found in mid-3rd Age Rhovanion- if any university would be found anywhere at all.

EDIT: Note, all updates regarding players and their public roles are being made in the XVI thread, and not on the list on this thread.

Only just noticed this...

This particular part of the Third Age predates the Rohirrim by something like 500 years, so I've taken the liberty of changing "Rohirric" to "Northman".

Farael · 01-10-2006, 10:09 AM

Does anyone else think we should add whether we are a "he" or a "she" in our ocupations list? I've gotten it wrong twice today, and it seems Farael is more of a ladie's name than what I thought

but it gets a little confusing sometimes.....

I agree Farael. I was hoping you were kind of hot, but I guess you aren't my type.

Kath · 01-10-2006, 04:23 PM

I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry. I was running on another deadline time (from about three games ago

). I got on here thinking, wonderful another two hours to make my mind up, and then what do I find but a final post!

My apologies. I'll get my timings right from now on - if I'm still alive.

Naria · 01-10-2006, 05:00 PM

ARRGH, can anyone tell me how to do a reply with a quote without having the whole post in my response. And I agree too, we should put what sex we are with our occupation or as we post.

Gurthang · 01-10-2006, 05:10 PM

The way I usually quote someone, or partially quote them, is by clicking on the post reply button. This brings up your text window. Scroll down and you'll see a review of the last forty posts in the thread. (if the one you want is farther, you'll have to click on the 'review entire thread' link.) Simply find the part you want to quote, copy and paste it into your text window, then highlight it all with your mouse. In the row of icons at the top of your text window, the last one is 'quote'. With your text highlighted, push that button and it will wrap the text in quote tags (they'll look like [quote]text[\quote ]). The text will then be displayed as a quote.

If you want to put the person's name at the top of the quote, simply type '=' after the first quote tag then put the user's name. ([quote=user's name])

OR

push the quote button in the person's post you want to quote, then simply delete the portion you don't want. This will leave the part you want to quote, along with the quote tags and the user's name already in place.

Hope that helps.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-11-2006, 08:29 PM

Hey I just wantet to let you know that I will not post until about 5 hours before deadline. The reason I don't post now is that it is 3:25 AM and I really doubt that my brain is able to prouce any thoughts that might be of any use.

In conclution: I am going to bed now and when I have finished doing important stuff tomorrow I will post. (and it is going to be brilliant)

Valier · 01-11-2006, 10:29 PM

I will also not be posting anymore until about 3 hours before deadline.Everyone is quiet now but will probubly all post when I'm at school...Till then.

malkatoj · 01-12-2006, 01:54 PM

Okay, I guess I should make this more official. (By posting it here.)

I'm in high school, so I've got strange hours. GMT-5, I'm in school from 8AM to 2:30. Also, my mother has decided that I have to get to bed early because I keep getting sick, and I often have extracurriculars going on after school so my posts will be far apart, but I'm doing my best to read through everything and at least have a coherent vote.

Apologies (and regrets, werewolf is so much more worthwhile than school), but I'm doing my best.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-13-2006, 03:52 AM

Today and a part of tomorrow I have voulenteerd for making food to some students at a political meeting. This means that I again will not post until 7-5 hours before deadline.

Azaelia of Willowbottom · 01-14-2006, 04:37 PM

My apologies...Time got away from me and I completely missed posting/voting today...Shame, shame, shame on me.

So yeah, it's completely my fault I wasn't here toDay...I feel like an idiot.

Formendacil · 01-14-2006, 04:42 PM

Due to unexpected burps in Formendacil's real life work schedule, NIGHT 4, our currect phase, will be about 2.5 hours shorter than normal, with DAY 4 being correspondingly longer.

Narration on the opening of DAY 4 may be postponed about ten hours, but the pertinent information will be posted in time.

~Michael A. Joosten - WW XVI Moderator~

Meneltarmacil · 01-15-2006, 08:19 AM

I will not be posting until well into the next Day. I will be able to vote on time; however, don't look for me until about four or five hours before the deadline.

Cailín · 01-15-2006, 03:21 PM

I have posted it in the game thread, but let me make it official here.

I have very early classes tomorrow morning and instead of having the afternoon off, as planned, some person thought it would be rather amusing to relocate my job interview to the other side of the bloody country. Ergo, I will be travelling most of the time tomorrow. To make (what would be) a long rant short, you shall probably not see me online again toDay. Sorry, everyone.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-18-2006, 04:08 PM

Sorry I did not vote today, but I actual fell a sleep infront of the computer. (because of my sickness) I voke up just now (11:03)

Farael · 01-19-2006, 12:29 AM

Given the last happening in the game, I have a question.... does the cursed know that he/she was cursed?

Amanaduial the archer · 01-19-2006, 04:21 AM

No: see Formendacil's rules on the first page - they had no idea and so acted like an ordinary villager. It's only if the wolves had chosen to kill them that they would have turned to the side of the wolves: otherwise they just die and thus another point to us villagers!

the guy who be short · 01-19-2006, 12:47 PM

May I ask who the next Mod is? Did we scrap the entire list idea?
