Werewolf LXXXIV - Middle Earth in Fifteen Minutes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-14-2010, 07:24 PM

Hello and welcome to Tol-in-Gaurhoth LXXXIV - Middle Earth in Fifteen Minutes. While this game will be Tolkien-oriented, there will be a large (read: megamassive) element of parody, courtesy of the book Movies in Fifteen Minutes, copyright Cleolinda Jones. All scenes will be taken from said book and tweaked to fit the situations in which you'll find yourselves.

Rules - normal, standard rules apply.

Roles -

1 Seer - Galadriel.
1 Ranger - Aragorn.
1 Hunter - Legolas.

1 Heir - (explained below)

3(+) Wolves - actual wolves, not orcs or trolls or suchlike.

Depending on the number of signups I receive, I may add another wolf.

---------

The Heir - The Heir is a special role, randomly assigned to an ordo at the beginning of the game. The Heir will not be aware that he or she is the Heir. Regarding the Heir's function - the Heir is nothing more than an ordo until the first non-ordo dies. At that point, the Heir takes on whatever the non-ordo's role was - either becoming a Seer, Ranger, Hunter, or Wolf. In the narration where the Heir's power activates, the role of the deceased player will not be revealed.

DL is currently set to be 10 pm CST, but if this a problem for anyone please let me know as it's easily changeable on my end.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Signups:
Wilwa
Lottie
Boro
Sally
She For Whom The Stars Shine
Elronhubbard
Eomer

I said I would take a break....but I changed my mind.

And your new role is brilliant, I wish I had thought of that!

Loslote · 11-14-2010, 07:36 PM

If this starts after the sixteenth (which, at this point, looks rather likely) then I'm in.

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-14-2010, 07:39 PM

It definitely won't start before the sixteenth. And Lottie, I adore your location.

Excellent; thank you!; and I forgot to mention that I love the 'heir' concept.

Boromir88 · 11-14-2010, 07:47 PM

Wants in and wants this Heir.

satansaloser2005 · 11-14-2010, 09:38 PM

It's times like this I remember why I love you so much. Cleolinda=<3.

Also, I'm totally in.

Nerwen · 11-14-2010, 09:56 PM

Count me in, as always, my king.

elronds_daughter · 11-14-2010, 10:09 PM

I would love to get in on this...

Welcome aboard! If you're new to the game, there's a sticky thread at the top of Middle-Earth Mirth that could be a big help.

Also, I'm the host of your first game so I get to nickname you. I'm thinking something along the lines of Rondi.

I like Elra, personally, but that's me. Of course if we don't use it I can just make a D&D character from it, so either way, really.

Also, hello, fresh meat. Glad to see more people on board!

<sweeping bow> Whatever you wish, O Great One.
:P

It is my first game, but I've read all the rules, and I followed the last game pretty closely. This should be fun!

I like her. Can we keep her?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-15-2010, 08:15 AM

I don't want to miss this. Sign me up, Shasta!

Two games in a row? This takes me back a few years.

elronds_daughter · 11-15-2010, 09:38 AM

Sally, I like your nickname for me better. (Also I like your idea for it if Shasta's a meanie about letting us use it.)

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 11-15-2010, 10:17 AM

It's a wonder more people don't call you Arwen.

If I recall, way back when (when I was actually really active here...I remember when this game started, if that gives you any idea how long ago that was), I started going by "eddy" just as an abbreviation...not sure I want to revert to that. But I made a point that I was Elrond's other daughter. I have never been Arwen. :P

satansaloser2005 · 11-15-2010, 10:53 AM

All those in favor of Eddy/Eddie say "WOLF!"

Heh. I am, of course, teasing you. I vote that we call you whatever you like (that makes sense, of course, or else we could end up with another me=Stan thing

).

Of course. I was merely playing along.

(o.O ...you were Stan? Gracious.)

I did like Elra better than Rondi (sorry, O Great One), mostly because the latter sounds too much like Rhonda, which is a name I've never really liked.

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-15-2010, 02:45 PM

I think I'm just going to call you Elronhubbard and have done.

++Elra for name

Awww, thanks Lottie!

EDIT: And Sally.

satansaloser2005 · 11-15-2010, 04:25 PM

Seconding my beloved Pop. We likes her, precious, we likes her very much.

EDIT: x'd with Elra

Inziladun · 11-19-2010, 10:18 PM

Go ahead and put me down for it, if so. Things are looking to be fairly busy the next week or two, so don't look for anything like the activity I had last game, though.

Noted.

satansaloser2005 · 11-21-2010, 06:33 PM

Come on, people, let's fill this game up! At this point it's unlikely we'll be starting before Thanksgiving, so there should be plenty of people around to play! Sign up!

Also, I'm still rather giddy over this concept. I may go read some Cleolinda now.

Boromir88 · 11-21-2010, 06:50 PM

Aye I was just checking to see when we'd be starting since I was going to be gone for Thanksgiving, no internet access until Sunday. Also, will still have to fulfill my jury duty, so with the late DL it won't be a problem, however, my activity will be down.

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-22-2010, 02:15 AM

Well, surely I can get at least twelve people?

I know my last game wasn't the greatest, but really...?

You're last game was great! And I'm sure people have just forgotten there should be a game right now. Facebook advertise it and you'll have plenty of people!

Nogrod · 11-22-2010, 03:47 PM

As the starting of this game seems to have been postponed from what I thought it would be, you can count me in. My problems with too much RL-duties should be over in a few days... *phew!*

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-25-2010, 12:03 AM

Player list updated.

Inziladun · 11-27-2010, 08:55 PM

So, we're waiting for two more people, are we? Anyone got any lines on an arm or two you could twist?

Shastanis Althreduin · 11-28-2010, 01:50 AM

Where is everyone?

A Little Green · 11-29-2010, 04:32 AM

I can bug Lommy if you like!

A Little Green · 11-29-2010, 08:02 AM

Update: bugged Lommy. She said you can count her in!

elronds_daughter · 11-29-2010, 01:05 PM

Just to let everyone (especially Shasta) know, if this gets off the ground this week, I may only be able to participate minimally until Sunday (several big projects due this week, and my music department's big Christmas concert). But I shan't be absent, and I shall try to be as talkative as I can.
