Admin Thread for WW LXXXII: Return to Tol-in-Gaurhoth
Fellow Barrow-Downers,
it is time for us to return to the original Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the ghastly keep ruled by the terrifying Lord of Wolves, Sauron, and inhabited by all kinds of horrors. You are valiant Elves of Nargothrond, a wolf hunting party led by the brave but wilful Lady Thinlómien and you shall be taken by the Enemy, tortured and slain one by one unless the fool's hope prevails and you shall be rescued against all odds by your kinsmen... Welcome to WW LXXXII: Return to Tol-in-Gaurhoth, the fourth game modded by yours truly and the first one actually involving werewolves... You are all Nargothrondian Elves, some of you are professional hunters, some of you are something else. I would like everybody to come up with some specific characteristic for their character: a profession (if they're not hunters), a hobby, a colour or an animal they identify with, a dominant personality trait or a special thing in their appearance etc. This is just to help me write the narrations. :) I also ask people to keep it tolkienish and relatively believable, so please no chamber pot emptiers of Finrod Felagund or people who had so big noses they keep tripping on it, however funny it might be... ;) ~*~ The rules Roles 3 Wolves - opposed to the innocents. They win when their number is equal or bigger than the number of the remaining innocents. May PM with each other during the Nights. Each Night, they choose to kill someone and send their name to me. Unless something drastic happens, this person dies. Seer - on the innocent side. Every Night, the seer chooses a person to dream of and PMs his choice to me. This persons' role is revealed to the seer. Unlike normally, can see the cobbler's role. Ranger - on the innocent side. Every Night, chooses someone to protect by PMing me his choice. If this person is attacked by the wolves, she will not die. Cannot protect the same person two times in a row or himself. Hunter - on the innocent side. Picks a person to hunt. If he's lynched, his hunt target dies too regardless of her role. If he dies at Night, his hunt target dies if she's a wolf and doesn't die if she's not. The hunter may change his pick once every Day and every Night and does that by informing me by PM. If he doesn't inform me about a change in his pick I assume it to be the same as before. If the hunter somehow fails to make any pick at all before he dies he will die alone. Cobbler - on the wolves' side. Doesn't know their identity. Wins with the wolves but counts as an ordo in the final tally. Unlike in most games, will show as a cobbler if dreamt by the seer. X Ordos - on the innocent side. The guys who have the must fun. Other rules - all the players should be on the invisible mode. - all the votes should be cast as follows: ++Thinlómien (two pluses, bolded, on a separate row). - the deadline for the votes and Nightly picks is 8 pm GMT. Votes with the time stamp 8.00 do count, the ones with 8.01 or more don't. The mod asks the wolves and the gifteds to kindly submit their Night picks an hour before the deadline if possible. - no double lynchings. In the case of a tie, the mod flips a coin. - no retractable votes. - don't edit your posts except to mark cross-posting or correct spelling. - PMs may not be quoted or used as evidence. - living players may not talk about the game with each other outside the thread (unless they are wolves who are allowed to PM with each other, of course). - the dead don't talk, not on the thread and not by PM with the living. Preferably the dead keep out of the admin thread as well - there are very few things you can't leave to the aftergame discussion. - modfire will be exercised if somebody doesn't vote for two Days in a row or breaks the rules severely. It'll be upon the mod's judgement, though. (No modfire for forgetting to bold a vote or anything like that. :p) The General Rules. ~*~ The Player List Legate of Amon Lanc - jeweller with an affinity to the colour white Inziladun - weaponsmith Eönwë skip spence - an admirer of Finduilas's Loslote - young tag-along girl with frizzy hair Shastanis Althreduin - orphan solitary hunter who moves silently, likes blue and has a pet snake Nerwen - young and impatient hunter who makes animal statues of wood and likes the colour green Boromir88 - incompetent gatewarden Glirdan - local batty scholar Nogrod - narcoleptic master-hunter Ozban - young and naive hunter and admirer of Finrod Felagund Pitchwife - furrier A Little Green - veteran hunter with a striking resemblance to an opossum wilwarin538 |
All right, let me be the first one to sign up :)
I have to think of an occupation and other things yet, though. I need to think it through first... :) |
Yay! I has a player! :D And this time you can't even fool me because I will know your role... ;)
|
I'd like to put in as a weaponsmith.
|
Wondeful - and a very cool occupation too, by the way...
|
I think I have time for another... sign me up, Lommy!
|
Sure. Welcome, Eönwë! :)
|
So note me down as a jewel-maker, in the good fëanorian tradition... :) Favourite color being white, favourite element being fire, making things clear and bright, with the wish to shine very bright myself (also metaphorically), even if it was supposed to be only for a short time... seeing things possibly a bit too easily as either white or black...
|
With a European-friendly DL I believe I'll play too. :)
I'll be a lesser noble-man who went out on this mission to impress Finduilas whom he loves in vain. |

Guess what guess what guess what guess what guess what?
I'm signing up. :p As...a whiny tag-along girl who was *not* supposed to come, but sneaked after her daddy anyway. She likes neon colours and has frizzy hair. (I sign up as a young girl a lot, don't I? :rolleyes: Ah well!) |
Awwww, that's an impossible deadline for me. No way I'll join; I'd be far too tempted to get on the site during work, and....well, bad. :rolleyes:
If the DL shifts to anywhere after 10 pm GMT someone should clue me in, yes? :) Also, I nearly died when I read the thread title. For personal reasons, of course. :Merisu: |

|
I'm signing up, of course. Will think of something to be asap.
|
I'd love to play, but when is this starting? I'll have very limited internet access between tomorrow and Monday.
|
I was intending a longer break, but I recall only beeing in one of Lommy's games, which I believe is unacceptable.
Sign me up as the incompetant gatewarden. :D |
Hmmm, European friendly DL....my sleep pattern is Chinese related :rolleyes: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but sign me up and here's to hoping that I don't sleep for 12 hours during a Day period :rolleyes:
Will think of something to be in a bit. |
Oi, lots of people! :D Welcome everyone.

When was the last European friendly DL-game? :smokin:
So I'm in for sure... I'll read the rules and come up with an occupation soonish (needs to log out for a moment). |
Okay. I'll be the narcoleptic master hunter.
A basic game for a change! So something completely different... ;) |

I'll post my profession etc. tomorrow; in a hurry at the moment. |
Welcome, Noggins! And great to hear you're playing, Nerwen. :)
|
*Is thinking this game needs a scholar*
Kay, so I'll be the local batty scholar who rarely emerges from his homestead. |
Hey there, I'd like to sign up as well, if theres a free spot still.
I will post my character's occupation tomorrow, hopefully. |
Hello, Ozban.
As far as I know, signups are still open. Since this would be your first game of Barrow-downs Werewolf, make sure to peruse the Werewolf General Guidelines Thread before the game begins. |
Oh my Eru!! Incredibly cool. Welcome on board, Ozban :)
And indeed, I am sure the link Inzil provided could be helpful, for clarifying the rules. At least if you just read through the basic things, and then the lists of player's nicknames or phrases can come handy when somebody pulls it out during the game... (which will undoubtedly occur...) |
Welcome, Ozban. :D
I can third checking the link Zil gave, but don't worry too much, I will post proper rules to this thread too. :) We now have 11 players. A couple more would be nice... |
Will do Inzil.
I'd like to play young hunter, bit naive, zealous adorer of Felagund. :) Completely trusting up to the point of stupidity. May he live long and prosper. :rolleyes: |

A classic game, and a Euro DL? *raises hand*
I'll be a furrier (renowned for making nice warm wolf-pelt gloves) Quote:

Anyway, welcome to the Downs, Ozban, enjoy yourself being dead! |

[QUOTE=What could it be, but Ozzy?[/QUOTE]
Am I really that obvious?? :p Quote:
And the typos with Izzy and Ozzy could get rather interesting ;) Quote:

Since we seem short on actual hunters, I'll be another. A young, over-eager apprentice hunter, to be precise. In my spare time, I like carving bits of wood into animal sculptures, particularly of eagles, and have ruined quite a few hunting-knives in the process. I like the colour green.
Oh, and welcome to the Downs, Oz!:) |
Can't miss this, can I? I'll be a veteran hunter with a striking resemblance to an opossum.
|
I'm actually going to be a hunter as well - a young orphaned solitary hunter who practices the art of moving silently all the time. My favorite color is blue and I have a pet snake that likes to ride around my throat.

(Unfortunately I'm way too busy to play at all, but I'll follow the game. Especially with Ozban playing, yay! :p) |
I love that discussion on my nick. :)
But whether Ozzy or Oz, i care not. Aganzir's surveillance is a bit unnerving though. :cool: I find all that curiosity concerning my performance quite demanding. :D Good to hear from you nevertheless, Agan. |
