The Only Real Estel 07-20-2005 09:02 AM

It looks like I'll be able to join up, though I doubt I'll be able to post at all on any Sunday that the game runs over, maybe just a quick note that night (my time) or something.

If that's not a problem I guess I'll add another child-scaring role to the village: Weedgrower. I own & operate the village's weed 'garden'. :smokin:

edit: Nilp is a suspicious wolf breeder? I never would've guessed that! :eek: ;)

Firefoot 07-20-2005 09:12 AM

TORE - with Days/Nights starting at noon, missing Sundays won't be a problem.

Edit: Of course, if Elempí is a werewolf and Falco Boffin is a seer, it could raise interesting problems now, couldn't it? :p
Only little problems. :p

Maybe I'll go try to recruit some people... If we can't pick up any more, I'll probably drop the Cursed Villager.

Durelin - what's a dead-header?

Feanor of the Peredhil 07-20-2005 09:35 AM

Footie, you've never worked in a green house. Dead-heading is where you pop the dead or dying blooms off of plants to encourage new growth. I imagine that could be turned into the most fantastic death narrative...

Don't you ever remember playing "mama had a baby and her head popped off" with dandelions? Or was that a local thing?

Durelin 07-20-2005 09:43 AM

Hehe...dead-heading is something my grandmother does extensively, though only to her own garden.

Yep, I used to do that... didn't know it had a name, though.

But you're right, that could be a really great death...

I've worked in a greenhouse. When shipments of plants come in from suppliers, you've got hours of deadheading to look forward to to clean everything up. And petunias get sticky when it's hot out. :)

dancing spawn of ungoliant 07-20-2005 10:21 AM

I see that everybody else but me have chosen their professions. Well, I'll be a landlady.

Meneltarmacil 07-20-2005 11:48 AM

Oh well, guess I'll play some other time. It seems I just have a very busy summer.

That sounds terribly morbid! Though it works for this game, I guess. :p

Firefoot 07-20-2005 03:43 PM

I've done some PM'ing, and Wilwa and Kitanna have both said they'd like to play. So that's 17 players, all the gifted roles can be used. :D So Kitanna and Wilwa, if both of you could let me know what your village job would be... :)

Great job Firefoot! It should be fun to have a large game again. :D

How about the town crier?

wilwarin538 07-20-2005 06:28 PM

I'll be the Town Troubadour. :D

I used to play that all the time.

The Elf-warrior 07-20-2005 09:05 PM

May I join up? I'd like to be a butcher.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-20-2005 10:10 PM

Too bad, Menel.
 
I would have enjoyed throwing stuff at you.

I tell you, I would not want to raise kids in this village, even without the wolves... wolf breeder, liar, lunatic, creepy guy, executioner... ;) :p (Firefoot)
Hey! Wolves make good pets, and very nice lunch meats, too.

Yeah! I wonder how many crania I'll wreak havoc on before the village decides to lynch me by unanimous consent. Hehe . . .

You and your egotism. I should like to lynch you here and now.

Firefoot 07-21-2005 06:38 AM

Elf-warrior - I'll add you to the list. :)

As I said earlier, I will be out of town till Saturday. I'll address any last-minute questions or sign-ups at that point and get the thread set up. I'll send out roles on Sunday morning, and the game will start Sunday at noon.

Eomer of the Rohirrim 07-21-2005 07:23 AM

Quite the motley crew in this village. Does it have a name yet Firefoot? How about Thunder Gorge? Or Loveland?

littlemanpoet 07-21-2005 09:20 AM

Firefoot, will there be any restrictions on the shirriffs, or any other gifted roles?

Do you know what time on Sunday morning you will send out roles? I ask because I will be unavailable between the hours of 9-12 Mountain time.

Noon in what time zone?

Will the game start with a death or with a night period? (I'm assuming night period so that the seer can do it's job...)

Lhunardawen 07-21-2005 09:08 PM

May I suggest that the roles be sent earlier? Just for the...uh...people from weird time zones. :D It would be hard for us to swallow our roles and post right away...if we're not asleep, that is.

the guy who be short 07-22-2005 03:59 AM

You know, I've often thought the Werewolf Games would be made easier by standardising which time zone we use. The obvious thing to do would be to adopt GMT (not BST!) and post everything in that, as it's easiest to get to / work from from other time zones.

Just a thought. *Prepares to be pounced on, lightly peppered and eaten for insolence*

littlemanpoet 07-22-2005 04:02 AM

My personal computer at home has crashed, and will be in for repairs starting Sat. So weekend gaming will be dicey for me. It probably won't affect the werwolf VII game since I'll prob. have it back by the following weekend (by which time I'll most likely be lynched anyway!).

the guy who be short 07-22-2005 04:09 AM

Don't worry, LMP, the first two lynchings are reserved for Feanor and Eomer. :p

Also, Firefoot, will you be using lynchings or hanging? Lynching is more fun y'know... more blood and gore and stuff. Everybody likes pitchforks too.

I'm with TGWBS on this. GMT is good. Really good.

wilwarin538 07-22-2005 01:57 PM

I could live with GMT. Im eastern so that makes me 5 hours behind. that would mean if the game starts at noon it would be 7 in the morning for me. That's cool. On sunday I can only be on 7-8 and then all afternoon past 1:30. So that would mean noon-1 and then the rest of the day past 6:30 in GMT time.

OK thats great. This will be fun.

~Wilwa

the guy who be short 07-22-2005 02:00 PM

You're in Eastern Daylight Time at the moment, which is six hours behind GMT. Once everybody remembers about Daylight times it'll all be sorted for ever! :)

I don't think we should assume that yet. Firefoot is out of town and presumably she is unable to post so I'm still going with Noon at central time which makes it 6 pm in London I believe.

So things have not changed until the mod tells us so.

Firefoot 07-23-2005 08:17 PM

Hi, everyone! I'm back in one piece... everything's on schedule.

I think so. If that is right, then it would be about 3:20-ish GMT, right? Someone tell me it I'm wrong. I'll go with GMT if someone can tell me what time it's supposed to be. :)

Per Lhuna's request, I will send out your roles tonight after I get the game thread up.

TGWBS - Definitely lynchings. :D

The game will start with a Night, not a death. So the first Day will start on Monday.

Eomer, I hadn't much thought of a name for the village. I could use Loveland, or someone else could suggest something, or I could try and think of something really quick... Seriously, I don't really have a preference.

Concerning restrictions on Shirriffs, I'm going to say that they can't reveal their roles until one of them is dead.

I think I answered everyone's questions... if not, please reiterate.

Firefoot 07-23-2005 09:21 PM

(Sorry for the double post, but...)

I changed my mind. I'm too tired to put together the thread tonight; I'm just going to do it tomorrow when the game starts, which, as I see, most previous mods have done anyway. I will be sending out roles shortly, though.

Also, once the game is in play you may not post in this thread. Anything that needs to be said can be said in the game thread. Questions can be sent to me via PM; if it is important I will answer it here.

I'm really looking forward to this. :) :cool:

mormegil 07-23-2005 10:01 PM

Also remember that we should all be in invisible mode.

So we are not starting with your death then firefoot?

Firefoot 07-23-2005 10:14 PM

I was about to say the same thing: make sure you are invisible.

Morm - I am the defaulted werewolf kill of the first Night. The first Night is basically so that the Seer can have a dream and so that the wolves can touch base with each other. Don't worry; I'll be the first death. :D

Firefoot 07-23-2005 10:24 PM

All of the roles except one have been successfully sent; if you haven't received your role, it's because your box is full. Please clear it out.

Everyone, please do make sure that your PM box is sufficiently empty. It helps a lot.

Use the forum clock to check GMT time. If your PC clock is set to local time, then you'll have a feel of the time diff.

The Saucepan Man 07-24-2005 01:17 PM

Darn! The day I get back from holiday I find that the next Werewolf game has just started. I was rather looking forward to playing again, having only participated in three games to date (and one of those as mod). :(

Oh well, there's always the next game ...

Firefoot 07-24-2005 01:31 PM

Sorry, Sauce... I was even wondering when you'd be back.

The Only Real Estel 07-29-2005 04:36 AM

I will not be able to be with the village in its usual proceedings on Friday, but I will try to catch up on things, form more opinions, & hopefully catch a slip-up or two on Saturday morning. I’m definitely planning on being there to vote if nothing else.

And also, like I said before, I most likely won't be there at all on Sunday either, maybe a little bit Sunday night.

Firefoot 07-29-2005 05:28 AM

Got it.
