Aw...so nobody would be interested in seeing a teenage Gimli, or Durin the Deathless if it comes to it?


Heehee...I haven't thought up any new deaths, but I just finished something for the first day...it's truly horrible...*evil giggle*

Rune Son of Bjarne 01-04-2007 01:24 PM

I don't think I know what you are refering to, but of course I would be interested in seeing Durin the Deathless. . . he be cool!

LOL!! I forgot about that. See, I am backed by The SaucepanMan.

Oh, too bad you can't play, Espiem, usually I'm a gifted when you do :p ;).

Farael 01-04-2007 02:46 PM

Is there still room for one more player? I was just invited by someone I couldn't refuse.. and furthermore, it has been brought up to my attention that THE Nilp has decided to play!! I just can't miss a game both Spawn and Nilp are in.

Please Miz Oddwen?

Oddwen 01-04-2007 05:33 PM

If you would like to be a young Gimli, or Durin the (perhaps) Deathless, then yes you may.


A note on Gimli - I read in (Unfinished Tales, I think?) that he wanted to go along with his father for revenge on Smaug, but was counted too young.

I don't think I'm getting him mixed up with Dain Ironfoot.

Meneltarmacil 01-04-2007 05:57 PM

Another possibility for an additional role might be Radagast the Brown, as Beorn knew him and Rhosgobel, as I recall, wasn't too far away.

Your decision, though, Oddwen.

Farael 01-04-2007 06:15 PM

Durin the deathless should be fine... perhaps it's a name of good omen for the game!!!

Oddwen 01-04-2007 07:13 PM

Ooh - good idea, Menel.

Or the side you're on, anyway. ::smokin:

My friend in cobblery last time has the word here... :D

I'm really looking towards this! And seeing Spawn for so long time ago!

And Ang, I don't wish to help an innocent lynch of you a third time, so try to understand my reluctance to begin with... :)

And Rune & Farael both in: those two I always suspected! Maybe I can change my ways this time as I more often than not get it wrong with you two (not countring the last one with Farael).

And Lommy the wolf-Nogrod-slayer too!

This is looking good indeed!

;)

Bêthberry 01-04-2007 07:50 PM

A lynch too far!!!!
 
Sacrilege, I say, sacrilege! Who could ever even contemplate lynching a Gandalf or a Bilbo or a Thorin--much less doing so? More tellingly, who would have such a dastardly mind as to assign a wolf (or various other nasty roles) to such "narrative" names?

Oh, and it won't end here, I'm sure. I fear a future game based on an Inkling theme where even The Professor himself is not immune to lynching.

The horror! The horror!

;)

...hey, cool. When do you expect to mod that? ;)

Boromir88 01-04-2007 08:29 PM

It's about time I get back into one of these. I haven't played one with the lovers yet and seeing Spawn and Nilp again is just far to appealing for me to resist.

If you're looking for a teenage Gimli (or Radagast) still slot me in. If not, no trouble.

Oddwen 01-04-2007 08:48 PM

Which would you rather be, Baity-ait?



Enrollment will be closed tomorrow (Friday) evening, 8 PM MST (gmt -7).

Boromir88 01-04-2007 10:35 PM

I think I'll go up on Menel's proposal and take Radagast. Nothing personal against Gimli, but Gimli already gets enough book time...now it's time for everyone to actually see what Radagast has been up to all this time. :p

dancing spawn of ungoliant 01-05-2007 07:36 AM

Quite an invasion of Finns here, over 20% of the players. :D And the whole roster looks just awesome! :)

Ms. Moddwen, I'd have a question. Will the game begin with a Night phase, and if so, will it start on Sunday (7th) or Monday (8th)?

Kitanna 01-05-2007 09:07 AM

I stepped away for a few days for work and I come back and see who's signed up...wow. This is going to be an extremely interesting game. Can't wait to get started. I quit my job for this.

Oddwen 01-05-2007 09:37 AM

The first Night phase will begin on Sunday Morning the 7th, MST.

Now there's something for the "You Know You're Obsessed When..." thread.

Folwren 01-05-2007 06:52 PM

Hi, all.

I have come down with a flu thing and can hardly function. I don't know how long it will last. My dad was in bed for three days with it. I can't promise to be here for the beginning of the game so please remove my name. I'm so sorry. I sincerely hope you can find a replacement player for me. I meant to write earlier, but I was miserable and sleepy all day and am only well enough to write this by hand in bed, and have my sister type it up(thus explaining for any typos).

Good luck, everyone. I'll be back soon, I hope.

-- Folwren

Oddwen 01-05-2007 10:17 PM

Sorry to hear that, Folwren. Being sick is never fun.

Would anyone like to sign up as Dori, or would Durin or Radagast like to claim him perhaps?

Otherwise, the sign-up is closed.

Oddwen 01-06-2007 10:52 AM

I am going to have to flip a coin and take either Durin or Radagast out - roles will be assigned and PMed out either tonight or tomorrow morning, first NIGHT phase begins tomorrow morning.

*ching*

Farael, hope you don't mind being Dori. I'll see if I can't put Durin the Deathless in as a cameo somewhere.

Boromir88 01-06-2007 02:36 PM

No need, I'll be Dori. :D

Folwren 01-06-2007 03:01 PM

Bear him well, Boromir old chap. Dori's one of the best. ;)

Have fun everyone. Thanks for your well wishes. I'm feeling fantastically better already. The fever has broken. But no fears, I don't want to join again, as I'm still not well enough to be at the computer long.

-- Folwren

Oddwen 01-06-2007 05:35 PM

I have just sent out everyone's roles. Wolves may not communicate until I open the game thread tomorrow. Twins may not communicate until the first Day's discussions.

If I missed anyone, like the person whose PM box is full, please get ahold of me.

Thinlómien 01-07-2007 06:51 AM

Just to inform you all...
 
Beorn will be around mostly at late hours (ww-wise) because of the bear rituals*.

*timezones and non-existent net access at home

Oddwen 01-07-2007 09:50 AM

Please note - I am having some problems with my computer, so if day/night posts are a bit late, I apologize.


Please post absences and general questions here, any role questions may be PMed to me and I will answer them here.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 01-08-2007 07:38 AM

Oddwen, the theme song...oh my goodness, you are amazing. :D

Oddwen 01-08-2007 09:06 AM

Thank you all *bows*

It was made with Garage Band, the song in the background is a cover of Tool's "Sober" as performed by the String Quartet Tribute.

Kath 01-08-2007 11:13 AM

Quick question English people, is the time of Oddwen's post right? So the deadline would be 3:30 PM?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 01-08-2007 12:57 PM

I suppose you don't want my view on the time, then... :p

Kath 01-08-2007 01:47 PM

Oh haha. :p Alright, the question is extended to all those living in the United Kingdom.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 01-08-2007 02:10 PM

In that case, your timekeeping is agreed upon. :)

Durelin 01-08-2007 04:25 PM

Sorry to ask if this has been answered, or should be obvious, but...

Are we playing with retractable votes?

Oddwen 01-08-2007 06:27 PM

Sorry, I was going to put that in.

No retractable votes, no double lynching.

Bêthberry 01-08-2007 07:30 PM

just to let y'all know, I'm finding the names particularly hilarious. It's a hoot watching the rhyming confusion. :D

Nice touch with the theme music too, Oddwen.

Announcement
 
I'm sorry to inform you that there has been some problems with Asian internet connections lately (or that's what I've heard), and Bifur Felagund won't be able to participate in the game toDay.

I'm sure he's just trying to avoid being lynched on Day1... ;)

Farael 01-09-2007 09:46 AM

Ok, I think I missed something here... can anyone tell me what time the deadline is in Central time? I thought it'd be around 10 my time, bit I'm clearly off.

Oddwen 01-09-2007 09:53 AM

I forgot that the BDs was having some trouble with its internal clock.

What does everyone say to using this world clock instead?

You would be looking at MST (gmt-7) for the deadline.

It's 3.30 PM GMT (so half an hour ago right now).

Valier 01-09-2007 11:41 AM

Sorry for the no-vote. I promise it won't happen again. :D


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 07:11 PM.
