Sign me up too.

Oh, I don't know if the villagers will find it so easy to win again. There was just too much unluck against the werewolves in IV that is not likely to repeat itself, not least was three rookies.

In VI, it appeared that the werewolves had all the luck, but it seems that the seer gave herself away, from what I'm led to understand... Such an important gifted innocent!

LMP is playing? Old poker face himself?

I know I said no more but with such company, please count me in.

LMP - it will be a pleasure going up with/against/over/under/across you again.

Fea- let's ban multiple lynchings outright. If the village cannot reach a majority, there will be no lynchings at all. What say you?

Saurreg · 07-10-2005, 04:21 AM

EST and not EDT right? Cuz tt's what got me into trouble the first time around. TGWBS posted GMT when he meant BST.

Can anyone confirm that EST is 12 hrs behind GMT +800 hrs? So say if it's Sun 1820 hrs here in SG, it would be Sun 0620 hrs in NY?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 07-10-2005, 05:04 AM

My alter-ego's game does not count in my lynch rate, for, after, he is my alter-ego, and not me.

I would love to play in the next game. I think would go as a suspicious wolf-breeder.

And, I would request before the game begins: Lynch me, please.

Oh, brother.

I need my next fix.

Can I be a minstrel?

Thanks! Wow. But how else does one play a werewolf? I haven't come up with a better strategy... for me. Well, then again, maybe I have, but not necessarily as a werewolf. Or would it work just as well? Hmmmm...... We'll just have to see, won't we?. I'll demonstrate in the next game. See you there, *buc* (barring unforeseen circumstances). I wish that I could have kept up the doggerel, but it just got too hard to use both sides of the brain, as it were, in Game IV.

By the way, on EST versus EDT, I confess to being completely lost. I think it's BST plus 6 hours for EST, and BST plus 5 hours for EDT. Right?

A time zone converter-- http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
A map of the time zones-- http://www.travel.com.hk/region/timezone.htm

...If you need them...

What I do for time zones though is go click on the clock in the lower-left-hand corner of my computer screen (since you're all at computers anyway when playing this game). Double clicking on that brings up the "Date and Time Properties" window, if yours is like mine there should be three tabs: "Date and Time", "Time Zone" and "Internet Time". Go to the "Time Zone" one, make sure the check box for "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" is clicked then just set it to the timezone you're looking for click "Apply" make a note of the time and change it back to your timezone....problem solved (unless, of course, you get the wrong timezone...)

For Example:
I'm in "Eastern Time (US & Canada)" so that's what my computer clock is set to...It says that it's now 10:16am...Following what I described I can temporarily set my clock to GMT (3:17pm)...or GMT+800 (10:18pm)...and back (10:18am)...all within two minutes...

Incidently I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm talking down to you...y'know, explaining something you should have been able to see for yourselves...but I'm in a hurry and in a mildly bad mood because I've forgotten my glasses and so am starting to get a headache...I don't mean for it to sound that way and I really am sorry if it does....

littlemanpoet · 07-10-2005, 08:29 AM

Okay, that means London time is 5 hours advanced against North American Daylight Savings Time. In other words, 10:30 a.m. here (EDT) is 15:30 in London, or 3:30 p.m. Fair enough. Hope that helps all you EDTers.

the guy who be short · 07-10-2005, 08:43 AM

I'm pretty sure that GMT changes to BST at the same time that EST changes to EDT, that is, people on the Eastern coast of the US are always 5 hours behind Britain.

Times will be displayed in EDT time anyway, seeing as that's where Fea live. Unless she decides to be weird.

If anybody finds themself lost, just look at the time of the post in the top left and add 24 hours for the start of the next phase of the game.

Hmmm, what character to cast over myself? I shall have to think this over...

Anyway, I think MM was a nice little change, but I'd support reverting to Middle-Earth for the next game.

No. There will be one death (or more, if you want to go in a boringly narrated fashion) per game period. I've got several fantastic ways for some of you to go, and it would be absolutely depressing if I don't get to use them because you guys couldn't agree on who dies.

If there is a tie: both or all involved will die.

Mithalwen · 07-10-2005, 10:58 AM

If I ever took leave of my senses enough to have another shot at it, I would definitely have another Mythomane - especially if there were a larger number of participants... adds uncertainty.

I thought MM would go a lot closer when although there were 4 wolves the Seer knew of 2 of them. I think my time schedule favoured theolves - they managed to sway opinion and poor kitanna was doomedc before she could speak....

the guy who be short · 07-10-2005, 11:07 AM

I'd also support a mythomane in the next game, it means it can turn in any direction.

I'd also prefer the Shirriffs to replace the Ranger and Hunter being in cahoots - it gives more people a special role if there are lots of players, and also gets rid of the extremely strong Hunter-Ranger knowing one another's minds advantage.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 07-10-2005, 11:15 AM

The Mythomaniac will make a reappearance, again replacing the cursed villager.

Shirriffs will be back.

It has to be said that in MM the villagers gained virtually no benefit from the Hunter and Guardian knowing each other since by the time we had an active seer the Guardian was dead. I agree with shirriffs in a larger game but I think in a small one it is overkill. I wonder if we will ever have a were-hamster... lol

Saurreg · 07-10-2005, 11:35 AM

I haven't been following the last game at all so I think it would be a good idea to list down all the character types and rules before starting.
