WWJ XI: When World's Collide - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Glirdan · 07-06-2006, 01:12 PM

It was a calm, peaceful night in Beleriand. Perhaps to peaceful. Almost as if the calm before the storm. A calm that always gave off a false sense of security. Everyone in Beleriand felt safe, well, as safe as one could get in these troubled times. Everyone, that is, except two young Elves. They might have been young and foolhardy, but that didn't mean they were as easily persuadable by the calmness and beauty of this warm summers night. They, unlike the rest of Beleriand, were ready for a sudden attack from the North.

"We have to do something," the first Elf whispered quietly.

"I know, but what can we do?" the second asked.

The first sat there, for a time being, thinking of anything they could do. "I have it!" he cried suddenly.

"Would you be quiet!?" the second whispered hastily. "You might attract his spies. We don't want that now do we?" she asked. They both shuddered violently, remembering the stories that were told of what became of King Felagund in the pits of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. "So, what's this plan you have?"

The first shook himself out of his reverie. "You know that thing we found awhile back?"

"What thing? The tele-"

"Yes! That thing! Well, I was thinking, what if we used it to travel Arda and search for the bravest and most courageous folk we find then we-"

"I get it now! Sounds good! But who shall go and prep the-"

"I will. You gather the folk we need and bring them back here. Make sure you drug them so they don't remember what happened."

"Sounds good to me. Well, goodbye and good luck."

"You too. We'll need it..."

Players: I will be sending out invitations to all the preivous mods and co-mods of the Junior games. I will give them until the 12th too respond unless I get answers back before then. After that, I shall open up this thread to the rest of the public for signing up. I would like at least a minimum of 17 players. However, I will accept more than that which will incorporate little surprises in the game which shall be revealed as the game progresses. For the invitees, please pop by the thread and leave your occupation and gender.

Roles: I would like, if there are seventeen players, the following roles incorporated:

3 Wolves
1 Seer
1 Hunter (?)
1 Ranger (?)
10 Ordinary Villagers

However, as said above, I may incoporate other roles depending. This, however will be kept a surprise until the game actually starts. However, that also really depends on the number of people playing.

Rules: ~In this game, players should stay in their chosen roles throughout the game and should write descriptively and in the third person. No out of character comments will be permitted. If there is something out of character you need to say, please do so in the admin thread for this game. Please avoid the use of smileys and be sure to remove your signature from your posts. I shall change mine until the game starts so there will be a link to this thread. After the game starts, I shall remove my signature.

Please note, however, that this game is not an RPG and should not be confused with the RPGs that take place in the Shire and Rohan sub-forums. Other than as stated above, the rules and guidelines applicable in those sub-forums do not apply to this game, but they remain fully applicable in the RPG forums.

~I will allow Double postings, but I want you all to try and refrain from it.

~ I have already pre-decided that I will NOT allow Double or Mass lynchings. I have personal vendetta against them and I know a lot of other people who would say no to them as well.

~ I'm considering retractable votes. If you have a preference, please let me know.

~ If you are going to refer to a past game, please do so by saying "According to my books of lore..." or something along those lines.

~ If a player does not vote or post for two Days straight, you WILL be lynched unless there is a valid reason for your absence. If you can't get on for some reason, please notify someone immediately to let me know.

~ Once you're dead, you're dead. Don't talk about the game in other threads, don't send PM's to live players and please refrain from repping until the end of the game.

One final note

Because the role-play element of this game is to apply throughout, you need somewhere to congregate. So, I have come up with the idea of have Wilwa (my dead co-mod) being the bartender. Now, I know this has never been done before, but listen before you flip. I will have her as an active member in the game. Yes, it's true that she will know who's who, but, she will not be posting unless it's to give someone a drink or something (got that Wilwa?) However, I was thinking that maybe we could make her just as oblivious as everyone else (except the Wolves of course) yet she doesn't get attacked. However, I think the first idea will work a lot better. So, give me your thoughts on that as well.

The invites shall be sent out breifly. Until you get your invite or until I open the thread to the public, please do not post on this thread. Thank you for your co-operation.

Is this now the admin thread, then?

I'd like to sign up. I'm a female, and I'm a charming, attractive, and terribly successful thief from...um...Minas Tirith? How canonical do you need? And if you're canonical, what age? You did mention Beleriand...

Valier · 07-12-2006, 11:26 AM

So are we to all be Men then?

Or should I say of the race of Men.

Glirdan · 07-12-2006, 11:29 AM

No Valier, it's any gender you want. If you're a female and want to be male, be my guest!!! Anything, you choose.

Jenny, thank you. I did specify Beleriand. However, there is something that will make this game seem a little far-fetched (I still haven't been able to perfect the beginning of this, so please bear with me). So, because of that little something, this game will seem a little more out there and a little more, shall we say, sci-fi at the start than fantasy. So, if you want to be from Minas Tirith or any other 3rd Age realm and loacation, or even before 1st Age location, that is fine with me. I shall incorporate it into the story someway.

::Uses the jedi mindtrick::

The game is not to start until the start of August. . .

(don't worry I will delete this soon, just wanted to show my disapointment)

Valier · 07-12-2006, 11:43 AM

I should have made myself more clear....are we all to be humans? as in not Elves or Dwarves or Hobbits?
