My mum just informed me that she's working at home for a few days this week, and she'll probably be occupying the computer, so I might be flood-posting less. Just to inform you.

the guy who be short 05-29-2006 10:44 AM

Exams = Quiet Guy. Incase you wonder about the sudden "change in tactics" that is so lynchworthy.

Mithalwen 05-29-2006 10:48 AM

And I am starting a new assignment (same firm different role) I may get a few minutes online at lunchtime but don't expect me untill late in the day...

Feanor of the Peredhil 05-29-2006 03:15 PM

Warning: I won't be around on Wednesday at all. Term ends and I'm moving home. If I'm still alive then, I'll be gone Sunday also.

Durelin 05-30-2006 09:28 AM

I've been without internet for the past few days due to a mix up with our service provider (I'm posting this here at school), so I'm terribly sorry I have arrived so late... Tis quite fitting, though actually...

Also, I apologize for my post being random and of no substance. I have yet to read through everything. Unfortunately I do not have the time right now.

Kath's notorious forgetfulness maybe?

Did she not ask you to PM your favourite animal?

Caranlondien 05-30-2006 02:54 PM

Just to let everyone know, I'm having difficulty getting Internet access as I'm visiting my brother and staying in a hotel, where the wireless signal keeps cutting out. I've been here for the whole Day, but I'll be back home by toMorrow.

I resent the 'notorious' part of that sentence, but it is most likely.

TGWBS, I have something planned for you though, so if you wouldn't mind it being a surprise?

Oh and I was just asked whether the Hunter could choose a player to take with them if they were lynched, and the answer is no.

the guy who be short 05-31-2006 06:27 AM

YAY! Surprise! :D (No, I mind not).

By GMT, Kath means BST, which is GMT +1. I would have brought it up before, but I forgot. Oh well, it was slightly more amusing this way.

Kath 05-31-2006 08:14 AM

There, happy now Nogrod? TGWBS is good at maths, make him do nasty calculations and workings out instead of me :D

Happy as a man can be... :)

littlemanpoet 05-31-2006 09:57 AM

Just to get it out of the way, and then I'll shut up and let Kath's Game proceed with my quiet: I want to step in line again to mod another Dueling Wizards game. This time at least 20 players, and as soon as I have at least 20, and 2 wizards & 2 sub-mods, off we go. Who's in front of me to mod?

Cailín 05-31-2006 10:11 AM

Oh, I know this one.

*ponders*

I am after Kath, then Gurthang and then Sleepy Ranger.

Anguirel might be somewhere in between, but I'm not 100% sure about that one.

The Saucepan Man 05-31-2006 10:31 AM

I believe that I expressed a wish to mod another game some time back.

mormegil 05-31-2006 11:55 AM

I've considered it but am in no rush to do it.

Oddwen 05-31-2006 12:50 PM

I'd love to mod again - perhaps in July or August.

the guy who be short 05-31-2006 01:18 PM

Whose idea was it to scrap the list? :p

Nogrod 05-31-2006 03:04 PM

Schools are ending in Finland and that keeps me more than busy (and too much away from any computers) for a couple of days. So for Day2 and Day3 I will be posting somewhat less frequently - granted that I'm allowed to... I will check in at possible breaks and try to follow the things as well as I can - toDay I might be able to post something on the early afternoon (RL). But I should have a couple of hours to actively participate before midnight (+3 GMT - meaning a couple of hours before the time I'm sending this post now) on both days.

So I'm not away, but my posting will concentrate to the last hours of the Day.

littlemanpoet 05-31-2006 06:24 PM

Fair enough?

the guy who be short 06-01-2006 05:38 AM

Kath - could you please post lists of living villagers as well as those dead each Day and Night? It makes it that much easier.And what happened to Nilp?

Agreed. And we would very much like to know his role as well.

Kath 06-01-2006 08:21 AM

My apologies TGWBS, knew there was something I'd forgotten. I'll edit that in now.

Nilp will be removed from the game either in the lynch or kill narration, and you will find out his role then. I have absolutely no idea why he pulled out, as I have received no more of an explanation than you.

Mithalwen 06-01-2006 02:51 PM

Note re real life
 
When I signed up for this game, I thought I wouldn't be working this week but I got a lat minute, fairly high stress assignment (month end). Then my best friend's mother sufferred a sub arachnoid haemmorhage and her life hangs in the balance. My priority for what time and thought is not due to those who pay me, is with my friend of 20 years... she was there for me when the tables was turned so... anyway this doesn't prove my guilt or innocence but at least you know the background.

If you happen to be inclined to prayer .... spare one for my friend. Thanks

Kath 06-02-2006 10:45 AM

Hey all. My apologies but the game may start a little late today because I am unlikely to be here at 11. I've PMed Diamond and if she is able I'm hoping she will start the game for me, I'll PM the wolves and ask them to send their kill choice to her as well.

If she isn't able then I'm very sorry, but it should only be a couple of hours delay at the most.

Kath 06-02-2006 03:49 PM

OK, scratch that. I'm here! But the narration will still be late.

Choice to me please wolves!

Durelin 06-03-2006 03:55 PM

Just to let people know, and because I'm annoying like this... I was gone most of today (RL today) because I was taking the SAT (again; and that's a 5 horus standardized test, for those who wouldn't know), and then I had to do some volunteer work for a few hours (longer than I was planning to, actually).

Okay, I'm done with excuses...

Nogrod 06-06-2006 12:26 PM

Sorry to interrupt.

Does anyone know, whether it's the norm to count a cobbler as
a) a villager
b) a wolf
c) not at all
in the final count when deciding whether the wolves have won or not?

So if there are two ordinaries, two wolves, and a cobbler, how it goes with the standard interpretation?

We would be happy to hear the standard rule as we are not sure about it...

Firefoot 06-06-2006 12:38 PM

The cobbler counts as a villager; here's the 'official' description:
Quote:

The Cobbler: This player is on the werewolves team, but is not a werewolf! The cobbler doesn’t know who the werewolves are, they don’t know who s/he is. The game does not end in a situation where #(werewolves+ cobbler) >= #villagers. The cobbler looks like a villager to the seer. The cobbler actually doesn’t mind being lynched in many cases, to protect a werewolf from dying.
Hope that clears it up. Probably you already knew most of that, but there it is... :)

Kath 06-06-2006 12:39 PM

So in that case if the Cobbler wanted the wolves to win they would simply have to create a situation in which he/she got lynched.

Nogrod 06-06-2006 12:56 PM

Thanks!

We have now been able to draw our interpretation of the role...

Durelin 06-06-2006 07:04 PM

Will it not get me killed if I pop in to say that I'd love it if my name could get added to the list of those who wish to mod a game? I have been holding off because I wanted to wait until the end of the WW game, but I thought I'd take advantage of the brief 'interruption'... :D

Anguirel 06-07-2006 12:39 AM

So:

Cailin
Gurthang
Sleepy Ranger
Anguirel
Durelin

Er? We have two different lists here, people. ;)

I'd just like to say, add to me to the very end of whatever is the correct and current list. With the amount of people on here, it looks like I should put my name up if I want to do my game in the fall like I'd planned.

Thinlómien 06-07-2006 08:08 AM

A suggestion: if there's someone who's okay with modding a junior game and wants to mod sooner, there's only SamwiseGamgee, Glirdy and Valesse in the junior modding waiting list atm.

Kath 06-07-2006 08:09 AM

I think Ang and Durelin go in between Sleepy and Sauce.

Diamond18 06-07-2006 08:18 AM

So....
  • Cailín
  • Gurthang
  • Sleepy Ranger
  • Anguirel
  • The Saucepan Man
  • littlemanpoet
  • Oddwen
  • mormegil
  • Durelin
  • Diamond

Aye?

Edit: I moved Durelin, she was the last to speak up of all those people, so....

Cailín 06-07-2006 08:27 AM

Wow, that's quite a long list.

All right, Kath's game is unofficially over, which means that I can accept registration for my game now.

I had not really expected it to be over quite so soon, so I am still working on an outline. Ideas are all ready! However, due to the messiness of real life right now, I won't start the game before Sunday the 10th and possibly even a few days later. This will give some people the time to recover from previous games and since Lommy and Nogrod are already running quite a large game, I don't think sign up will be all that fast.

Expect:

1 - a decided lack of canonicity (not because I lack good will but because I haven't really read the books all that often ;) )
2 - a decided lack of actual village-ness
3 - a dramatic revelation of my personal greatest fear
4 - and -should the amount of players allow it- a return of the Lovers.

More information soon.

(Also, if anyone would volunteer for back-up mod status, I'd appreciate it and would breathe more easily, since my schedule is often quite irregular).

Durelin 06-07-2006 08:52 AM

Lack of canonicity? I'd like to sign up, if I may. :D

Roa_Aoife 06-07-2006 09:52 AM

If I'm done with Lomgrod's game by the time yours starts, then I'd be happy to sign up. However, what exactly do the "Lovers" do?
