Admin Thread for WW XC: Lord of the Rings 2: The Quest For More Money
Premise:
The Director hires fourteen (or so) actors for what they believe to be a re-make of the Lord of the Rings. Unbeknownst to the actors, the director is not interested in filming a movie, but rather a reality show. Three (or so) of the actors are pulled aside when they arrive and told their special role in this reality show - as "wolves", they are going to give Nightly interviews and choose an actor to disappear overNight. The rest are left in the dark and under the assumption that their lives are, in fact, in danger - great entertainment for the viewers. Rules: Deadline will be at 8:00pm EST, or I believe 12:00am GMT - Daylight Savings confuse me, though, so I could be wrong about the GMT time. Votes are highlighted (++Lottie) and non-retractable. If a vote is cast at :00, they are counted. If they are cast at :01, they are not. Day and Night last for 24 hours each. A person will be modfired if they do not vote for two consecutive days without a very good excuse ("I was busy eating a cake all day" will not count as a good excuse; "I was busy throwing up a cake all day" will). In case of a tie, I will flip a coin or roll a dice. If there are more than six people tied for lynching...yeah no just don't do that. When you sign-up, you will choose one of the "Movie" roles. This will determine your "Game" role (See: Wilwa). "Game" Roles: Wolves (three). Nightly PMing and killing. Win when their numbers match the innocents' numbers. Lose when there are no wolves left. Seer (one). Nightly dream. Ranger (one). Can choose to protect one person every Night. Can self-protect. Cannot protect the same person twice in a row. Hunter: Sends me a name every Night. Cannot change the name during the Day. If the Hunter is killed, the person xe chose will only die if xe is a wolf. Ordos (many). Vote every Day to kill one person. "Movie" Roles: Frodo - Tum Sam - Foley Merry - Sally Pippin - Eomer Fredregar Bolger - G55 Aragorn - McCaber Legolas - Shasta Gimli - Eruhen Boromir - Eonwe Gandalf - Boro Tom Bombadil - Bom Tombadillo Elrond - Inziladun Glorfindel - Glirdy Galadriel - Nerwen Sign-ups are closed.

I guess I'd better claim my namesake, before G55 beats me to it.
That's as long as this game down't start before Monday- I've only got very intermittent access until then.

I suppose it's time I stick my hand in again, but I'm going to attempt something completely new in order that it makes me less grumpy. We'll see how long it lasts, because I don't like being a grinch.
I suppose I should take Boromir's place, it would make the most sense. But I kinda want Gandalf.

To be honest, I don't have time for this, but then again it looks quite interesting...
So if you have trouble getting all the players list me in - if you have enough players without me, then let it roll without me. I will play differently this time though if in. The set-up gives me all the license for it. I thought of Gandalf but as Boro took him, then I should fairly take his namesake and be Boromir! So let me enlist as a maybe - if you have enough players let someone else take my part, but if not, I'd play as Boromir. I'd play as Boromir...

But both roles give me a license to play less and more edgy. So no problem there Boro. Boromir would be just nice for me. (Yeah, this is a meta-game and we're playing actors for the roles, but I still think it would do good for the actor willing for a role of a certain person to be able to be like the one he'd wish to act for - which does not say the actor for Butterbur could not be the most silent person around, or the actor for Aragorn to be the joking comedian. )

*Cough* I think I might be able to play this game. I have the next two weeks free, so if it's starting soon, I'm definitely up for it. After that, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to get on the internet to play.

I know, I know, I'm finally back. There's no way I could leave the Barrow-Downs forever.
And as for character, I'm still deciding between Boromir and Fatty.

I see you need one more person to start. It looks like fun! I'll take the last role if it's still free.
Fyi... Today thru Thursday I will have very limited access to Internet. I'll post when I can.

Wonderful! If there are no objections, I'll send out roles and the game will start in about an hour and a half.

I figured I'd try Nerwen's whole "I never vote on Day 1" thing.
No, really though, I (and Tum, actually) had a commitment last night and I lost track of time, coming to the site at 7:12 only to realize that I was too late. Apologies. Sadly, this weekend isn't going to be much better. I'll be off at camp again for most of tomorrow and Sunday, but I'll be sure to pop off and vote.

I don't know how much time I have today, I'll probably only be able to get on about an hour before DL.

I second Eonwe's post there. I don't think I'll have much time today to talk.

While I have the chance, I need to let you all know that the internet at my house and at my parents' house has been fried by a lightning storm, and so I will have limited access until it is fixed (which hopefully will be tomorrow, but maybe won't be). I will do my best to get on and participate some during the the Day 3 stage...definitely will try hard to vote. Don't want to be Mod Fired. Bah.

I will be traveling most of today. I'll try and check in on my phone, but that will be sporadic.

There's a lesson here for me: never have to suddenly leave for the weekend without telling the Downs I'm on vacation.

I can't believe you lot killed me and caused me to miss out on all this lunacy. Actually, now's the time to say that I'm the real Seer. I'm also the Ranger.

I had a long enough break from last game to want to play again...
Please sign me up, Lottie! I think I'll be Miss Bolger.

Good to see you, G55!
And I've done 20 before, but it was a special game where everyone had a power...Superman and Kryptonite and Duct Tape, all without posts to refer to.

Holy smokes, I have NO idea yet what it entails, but I will totally take Samwise Gamgee!
I know I'll have consistant computer access for the next eight days. After that, I am less certain. EDIT: I read the game. It looks like fun. -- Foley
