Lots of player sign-ups, but we remain modless.

Anyone interested?

How about the one who's highest on the list and shows up by Dec. 1, gets to do it?

Anguirel · 11-23-2005, 11:22 AM

I'm tempted to jump into the breach, but I really would rather save my powder till a more prudent date, if only to wait for the bad karma from WWXIII to evaporate...mormegil? You up for this?

the guy who be short · 11-27-2005, 11:56 AM

Hmmm... is it too late to join this game? I've been off werewolf too long for my liking, and seeing as I have a lot of coursework to hand in soon, the most logical thing I can do is join a Werewolf game.

Kath · 11-27-2005, 04:43 PM

Hmm, I don't really know what I'd like to be, so if you want to assign me a random role Alcarillo please feel free. Otherwise I shall be the role-less one.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 11-27-2005, 05:06 PM

I dont know what to be, if I don't think of anything else I will be a religious leader.

If it is ok with the mod, that is.

We call "role-less" ones homeless, hobos or bums over here. Is that what you are?

Kath · 11-27-2005, 05:27 PM

Ok I can be a bum!

Ironically at WWJ we have many mods and few players.....

Alcarillo · 11-24-2005, 11:36 PM

I will close recruitment and stick with the 15 players we have now.

Some Basic Rules
Non-retractable votes
Up to two multi-lynched at once

I'm in the minority: I like multiple lynchings; I think they're exciting. But as not to anger rest of you, I have set a maximum of two-at-a-time.

Possible Roles (that will almost certainly be changed)
3 werewolves
2 sherrifs (Elendili)
1 seer
1 ranger
1 hunter
1 cobbler (agent of Sauron/Pharazon)
And the rest ordinary villagers.

But this is obviously too many gifteds for a villages of 15. I'm rather set on sherrifs and a cobbler, because they so easily can be given Numenorean roles, and I've had a first-post-of-the-game outlined in my mind for a while now that fits perfectly an Elendili vs King's agents scenario. Perhaps we can get rid of our ranger and hunter? What do you guys think?

The Village
The village is on the northernmost tip of Numenor during the reign of Ar-Pharazon, so if you pick occupations within the village they should be appropriate for the time and place. No dentists, TV repairmen, plumbers, etc. This is just a little village in the middle of nowhere.

mormegil · 11-25-2005, 01:26 AM

Sounds good but I would say keep either the hunter or ranger. Probably the hunter as it doesn't necissarily tip the scales in the favor of the innocents, is a bit of a wild card.

As far as profession goes, I'll be a repairman specializing in ships and docks.

I agree, except for the very last thing mentioned. But then again, I played a negligible character in Werewolf XII...so, I completely agree.

I'm looking forward to playing for the first time with a lot of people, and playing again with the rest.

Well, it actually depends on how you want the sheriffs to be. In VI, the game was turned in favor of the villagers thanks in part to the sheriffs' revelation of themselves. But in VII, with the rule that they can't reveal themselves until one dies, they weren't really considered gifted much, no offense to wilwa and Enca. At least that's how I perceived it.

If it comes to the point of having to remove roles, I guess the Hunter can be discarded...

Numenor, huh? Interesting. By the way, when do you intend to start the game? Will it be on the 3rd of December as requested?

**The Saucepan Man** · 11-25-2005, 03:29 AM

I would be sad to see the exclusion of either the Ranger or the Hunter, since both roles have the potential to make for interesting games and have certainly enhanced recent games. On the other hand, I am not a great fan of Shirriffs who, it seems to me, have less potential to add to the game's interest. And while allowing them to reveal at any time probably makes them too powerful, stipulating that they can only reveal once one of them has died has always struck me as rather illogical, and that troubles me.

Why not simply label both the Hunter and the Ranger as Elendili, albeit ones who do not know each other's identity?

Glad to see the return of the Cobbler, though.

Kath · 11-25-2005, 03:34 AM

The Shirrifs are only real of any use when they're allowed to reveal themselves, but that then gives the villagers too much of an advantage. I wouldn't mind seeing them excluded but it's your game Alcarillo!

What date are we starting by the way?

WaynetheGoblin · 11-25-2005, 06:46 AM

I dont really care when it starts or what the rolls are I just whant to play.
