Sounds interesting.

I assume that it will be just like regular Werewolf, but with the roles reversed (ie Heroes know who each other are, kill a Wolf each night and Wolves have to try to find and kill them).

Do the Heroes make their kills during the day, with Wolvish discussions taking place at night?

Provided that we can start this weekend or early next week, I should be OK.

I shall be the Big Bad Wolf, full of huff and puff. :D

You have it exactly right! Which should make it most confusing and fun...

Eomer of the Rohirrim 12-14-2005 06:16 AM

Anguirel, old boy, I would consider it an honour to play in thy game of Werewolf. :)

Holbytlass 12-14-2005 06:31 AM

Anguirel, that is a great idea! There are fairytale stories out where the roles are reversed, such as "Goldilockas and the Three Bears"- the three bears are the victims and Goldilocks is the vicious thief.

How is your game going to work? Will there be lots of wolves and a couple of villagers that do the killing at night? Anyway, sounds like fun. I won't have the honor of being part of your village, but look forward to your storyline.

Boromir88 12-14-2005 07:00 AM

Wow Anguirel this sounds great, wonderful idea. I would like to dip my hands in this situation, and this shall be my last game for a while as after Christmas the Fireworks season starts. :D

dancing spawn of ungoliant 12-14-2005 07:36 AM

I'd really like to play in this game (and live a tad longer than in the last one... )!

Gurthang 12-14-2005 08:51 AM

Well, I guess my earlier post was missed... none the less, sign me up! :D

This game is a great idea Anguirel. Especially just getting off of 'The Game of Three Cobblers', this should be very confusing and delightful.

As for a name... Saucepan's already got the cream of the crop, so mine shall be Gil-Gurth, which (very roughly translated) means 'Star of Death'. Even if that isn't exactly right, which there is a good chance it's not, I'll keep it like it is because it sounds more like my name. I look forward to the start of the game. Now, to find some new 'plan'. ;)

Or not... my plans tend to get me lynched. :rolleyes:

Kitanna 12-14-2005 09:08 AM

If there's still room to play I would like to sign up for this game.

mormegil 12-14-2005 10:25 AM

Sounds fantastic! Although I must admit at first I had to wonder why Huan would be the cobbler but then I thought in reverse and it made sense.

I would love to play a beta-male though I'm not sure beta-males would be as vocal as I am. I've tried to play quiet before and it just doesn't work for me...I guess I'll be an aged and battle wisened wolf dispensing my opinions and advise on anyone that will listen or even pretend to listen.

When do you anticipate sending roles out?

Tell me about it! Every time that I play, I tell myself that I am going to resist making long and frequent posts, and every time I fail dismally! :rolleyes:

One thing is for sure. The long and comprehensive notes are out of the window. They don't make a blind bit of difference. However detailed, however much they cross-reference votes, accusations and defences, however much I try to draw together connections or noteworthy incidents, they would seem to provide me with no assistance whatsoever in finding a wolf. :rolleyes:

Oddwen 12-14-2005 11:47 AM

Ooohh ooh oooh oooo I've been waiting for a game like this...would this game start on Sunday, perchance?

And would the wolves be able to communicate secretly (aka PM's) also? Though that would probably cut down on public discussions.

If it does start on Sunday, please sign me up. Hopefully my free time won't be too dodgy. :)

I shall be - a bloody-minded young whelp.

Farael 12-14-2005 12:16 PM

Great, my first WW game and I'm already a werewolf for sure! what? you are saying that we will all be werewolves? that now the role of the werewolves will be taken by the villagers? you tricksy barrow downers' trying to get me all confused already!!

On a sidenote, I think I may be a werewolf in denial, who pretends that he is just a very hairy man who befriends werewolves at night.... it will be interesting but it is likely to get me killed, so I might just change that.

Kath 12-14-2005 01:07 PM

I'd love to join up again. I'll have more time this game too since I'm (finally) off school so I should be louder!

Formendacil 12-14-2005 01:30 PM

This is a hilarious idea, Anguirel!

Hmm... a role....

Big Bad Wolf... taken.
Crossdressing Grandma Wolf... no thanks...
Hmm... Balto? Nah!

Just call me Lobo.

Good thing Anguirel asked me to be back-up mod. :eek: ;)

Does that mean that the game starts with the lynching of a villager or will it start with a Day phase?

Eomer of the Rohirrim 12-14-2005 01:58 PM

That girl is going to play Morgoth to my Túrin—verily, it is again my turn to fear the malice of Cailín. :eek: ;)

I will be a Black Warg from the now bitter land of Rhûn. Spiteful, treacherous and callous. Impressionable young wolves look up to me as an inspiration.

Looking forward to the game Ang. :)

A mere warg amongst werewolves? An easy target for bullying is more likely :p

Eomer of the Rohirrim 12-14-2005 02:15 PM

Rest assured, The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread will be treated as canon in this game. 'Mere Warg' you say, Master Mormegil? I think I know what we'll be arguing about on Day One. :D

Mithalwen 12-14-2005 02:31 PM

*danger alpha female*
 
Seriously tempted to have another bash ... but may not have enough access away from work :S

Meneltarmacil 12-14-2005 03:37 PM

I would like to sign up, however, I'm going to be leaving on Christmas Day and will be gone for a few days then. If that's all right and I'm in the game, I'd like to be the Lone Wolf, kind of the odd one out who feels free to voice his opinions and doesn't care what the others think.

WaynetheGoblin 12-14-2005 04:49 PM

Nowone tell wilwa im playing this i wasent sapost to sign up. sign me up.

Nonnacedak 12-14-2005 04:59 PM

I would like to join this game(Mormagil talked me into it.).

Since the innocents are now werewolf's and I don't believe werewolf's work a whole lot I guess I will be a werewolf that enjoys eating dead flesh over live flesh. This unhealthy and disgusting habit has made him somewhat of a freak and even an outcast to the other werewolf's.

mormegil 12-14-2005 05:02 PM

Quick sign up!

I hope this makes it easier for you Ang.

Also when do you plan on starting and I'll ask again about when roles will be sent?

The Saucepan Man 12-14-2005 05:49 PM

Hmm, I have a slight concern that, with so many players and a two day break for Christmas, this game is going to run well over 2 weeks. Which will cause me problems if I am still alive near the end. Apparently it can take up to 10 days for AoL to reconnect someone to Broadband when they move so I will basically be out of action from 6 to 8 January, although I will have restricted access thereafter (from work). Ang, do you anticipate that causing any problems?

In any event, the earlier we start, the better for me.

Rune Son of Bjarne 12-14-2005 05:55 PM

I will be a Shepherd and that's a pretty cool thing to be when you are a wolf.

Meneltarmacil 12-14-2005 05:57 PM

I found out that I'll be gone December 25-28, getting back the 29th. So if the game is going to go that long, I don't think I'll be able to play.

Which I assume means, in a Wolfish village, that you are a waiter. :smokin:

Glirdan 12-14-2005 06:07 PM

Oh, I'm so in!!!! Please, if there's room, Put me up on the list!!!

Lhunardawen 12-14-2005 07:47 PM

This will be so interesting. And I'm glad to see the return of Eomer. ;)

I shall be the girl-who-cried wolf. :D

Boromir88 12-14-2005 08:42 PM

My next role I was planning to be an exorcist specializing in werewolves., but in a werewolf village this would be rather...frowned upon. So, I guess I'll be an exorcist specializing in heroes.

tar-ancalime 12-15-2005 02:20 AM

Definitely wishing I had time for this.

I can't possibly play, but if I could my role would be ROYAL BITCH.

Anguirel 12-15-2005 04:17 AM

morm, you're a hero. (Not casting any aspersions!) I was wondering how I was going to memorise everyone...

Saucepan Man-Big Bad Wolf
Mormegil-Crabby Old Wolf
Gurthang-Gil-Gurth
Rune-Wolf-in-Shepherd's-Clothing
Formendacil-Lobo
Farael-Werewolf In Denial
Lhuna-Girl-Who-Cried-Wolf
Eomer-Black Warg of Rhun
Boromir-Exorcist Specialising in Heroes
Spawn-Wolf O' Nine Tails
Kitanna-Beta Wolf
Oddwen-Bloodthirsty Whelp
Kath-Runt of the Litter
Mithalwen??? (I hope so ) (Me too...)-Alpha Female
Meneltarmacil-Lone Wolf
Wayne-Fairy Hunter
Nonnacedak-Scavenger
Glirdan-Butcher

Holby can't play, sadly. Actually, I'm going to settle for 17 players and end it here, because 17 is a pleasantly bizarre number...do think of roles, those of you who haven't yet. And Mith, please confirm that you can play. Naturally it's compulsory that you say yes...

When all that's sorted, I'll send out secret roles.

Oh, and how to people feel about Nights (ie Days) starting and ending at 2:00pm GMT/7:00pm EST?

We'll start as soon as possible-indeed, I'd like to post the thread tomorrow afternoon, ideally!

Mithalwen 12-15-2005 06:46 AM

Oh go on then.... but I would just state that while I should be able to get on every day with a bit of effort , unless a miracle happens and I persuade my mac to go online ... it will be from work, cybercafes, libraries etc... therefore I may only be around for a limited period once on days when I am not at work. ......

WaynetheGoblin 12-15-2005 06:54 AM

I will be a psycho fairy hunter.

Anguirel 12-15-2005 07:30 AM

I must say, I had no clue what a siko fairy hunter was. I imagined it must be an esoteric offshoot of Oriental myth. So I googled it.

I now suspect you meant psycho...

I now only need Glirdan, Spawn, Kath and Kitanna's roles before I send out the secret personae...

Kath 12-15-2005 08:00 AM

I'll be the runt of a litter.

mormegil 12-15-2005 08:07 AM

Anguirel, that time works fine with me.

Edit: I would like to add to my persona that due to my old age I have become slightly crabby and cantankerous.

Lalaith 12-15-2005 11:12 AM

Ang, I thought he was a "sicko fairy hunter". (as in, ugh, you're a real sicko) So, I then wondered, was he a sicko hunter or was he hunting sicko fairies? And then I started imagining what sicko fairies might be like...
It's these little things that help the winter afternoons just fly by....

That's fine with me. Most of the discussion happens still while I'm asleep or at school, but that's quite ok.

I shall be Wolf o' Nine Tails.
