Count me in the wonderful games dear.

Though, I am a bit at lost at what to be. Last time I was an Empirical Philosopher, and that worked beautifully. Hmmm... Well, since I'm sort of a Thomas More at times (you can't catch me Henry if I don't say anything! :p ) I think I will be a laywer. But... then again, I can mix it with Psychologist and be extremely happy.

There. That's what I'll do.

Moreish Pavlovian Psychologist

(Hint: Pavlov's study on Dogs...)

Personally, If I had to go to someone like that for treatment, it would be horror...

Well, there it is. Hope this will be as great as the last one I partook in.

But is there really any difference between, say John Locke or La Mettrie, and a pavlovian psychologist? So not really altering your role anyways? :)

Which brought me a thought of being myself a post-structuralist musician, having a maxim of "there's nothing behind the score, just notes being notes" - and you can think how that sounds! :D

Eonwe 02-25-2006 07:05 PM

I wouln't mind playing in this one. If you're still open that is. I'll be gold miner: lives in a little, sort of unkept shack, has one of those long trough things, and a great bushy beard. You know the type. :) (And, of course, I hardly ever find gold, and spend it instantly on whiskey, when I do...)

PS. If anyone hasn't played, or has played only a couple times, feal free to replace me, as I would feel kind of selfish.

Gil-Galad 02-25-2006 07:06 PM

I'll be the friendly Bell-ringer of the town, i ring bells and such


oooh i just had an idea.... glirdy PM me when you see this then i'll PM you my idea

JennyHallu 02-25-2006 08:52 PM

Not the scientist! Oh wait...

I'm thinking sci-fi films. Then the sexy female scientist has to survive in order to rub in the "I told you so" at the end of the film...

Just a second...must go consult with someone who has actually seen more horror movies than just Gremlins and the Sixth Sense (both gave me nightmares--figured i'd better quit while I was ahead.)

Can I be the female lead? She doesn't die...

Must think...

Think, think, think...

Oh bother.

I'm going to be the friendly neighborhood nutcase waving a doomsday sign around.


Oh...and Ka....

DING!

Valier 02-25-2006 10:05 PM

So Sleepy what have you decided on for the location? Also not to prod....ok well maybe a little...Is there to be retractable votes and/or double lynching?


Ok I shall be either:
HORROR TOWN: (my preference) I shall be Lady Valier whose into hurting people.;)
COOLSVILLE: uuummm I guess village Idiot :rolleyes:

Ha, ha. Yes, well, I'm afraid we must first have everyone salivating before the food can be had. We're all that ruthless. Either that or our poor wolves will have to contend like B.F. Skinner's rats...

Well, this time around I won't be to pull off insane stunts, take un-needed risks and of course, get away with them and win the game! But even without that this promises to be an awesome game.

I know but damn me if Duchess doesn't sound better besides our dear Lady is going to find herself far away from home at the start of all things as is everyone else. I must warn you now my villagers, pay to heed to every single word I say for I plan to keep my WWJ different from the others. In what way? Well I plan to keep it so that most posts I make will affect the game in some way.

dun dun dun


sleepy doing work

what will happen next? who actually made the pyramids?

was it the Babylonians? The Phantom? The Canaanites?

tune in at eleven!


i kid of course Sleepy, how many do you plan for?

Valier 02-26-2006 01:08 AM

So will it be a surprise Sleepy about the roles and rules? Will you leave us in suspense till the game starts? :D

Well the first two will definately affect the game in some way but after that it all depends on how the game plays out. I won't be dropping off any hints but if you look closely enough you may just find something you could use to your advantage.

Gentlemen, ladies... Good luck, you're going to need it.

Speaking of which I was wondering how people would take this idea-

Two wolves in the start, at any night of the game the wolves may choose to turn another villager to their cause. This could be used as a wild card by the wolves and add to the randomness factor.

Otherwsie it'd be a normal game with-

3 Wolves
1 Ranger
1 Seer
1 Hunter
Pack of victims

And the rules,
Retraceable Votes
One vote per person per day
No double lynchings, in case of a tie I'll flip a coin (Even though it'd be easier to go with the first voted but bah!)

Valier 02-26-2006 01:41 AM

That sounds cool Sleepy! I'm "down" with that. That's an interesting twist!:p

Valesse 02-26-2006 02:05 AM

You twisted my arm, I'll play! I'll play! :p

I might not have all the time in the world, but I'm sure this go will be just as intoxicating as the last round I was in. This Call of the Wild card ( :rolleyes: ) business is a bit different, but whatever works for y'all will work for me.

Naria 02-26-2006 02:26 AM

Well Valesse would make 12! Waiting on one more... Sleepy, having 2 wolves to start and recruiting another sounds great!! This should prove to be a fun and interesting game....can't wait to start. :)

Anguirel 02-26-2006 02:30 AM

I'd prefer a simple Cursed Villager and three wolves really. This Call of the Wild business seems a bit too powerful...

*shrug* So far the general populace has been in favor of it but I don't plan on using a Cursed Villager, it'd be a blatant advantage for the wolves. The Call of the Wild (I hate you for this Valesse... >_>) however is a wild card. If used on the wrong person it could back-fire on the wolves. If the wolves use it on a special role they won't be changed and yea... they'd have wasted it and not killed anyone so it could help the villagers as well. The Cursed Villager however is in no way good for the village.

Anguirel 02-26-2006 02:41 AM

Oh, I didn't realise Gifteds could shrug it off. That's alright I suppose.

JennyHallu 02-26-2006 08:55 AM

Hmm...interesting...it sounds like...


*sings*

The End of the World as we know it!
It's the
End of the World as we know it!
It's the
End of the World as we know it!
And I feel fine...

Valier 02-26-2006 12:24 PM

Is there anyone else out there who would like to play!!!!!! We need one more player!......Come on you know you want to!!:D

Kitanna 02-26-2006 12:40 PM

I'd like to play, but I'd have to be killed off by Saturday the 4th. But if you really need another player I can sign on and hope I die before I lose internet access.

Well actually Sleepy I didnt say that Iwas going to play, I might. And now I dont think I will because 7 PM GMT is my 2 PM EST, so I would have to vote very early, probably 16 hours before the deadline. So I am not in this game.
