12! I knew I'd been in a lot but wow.

Nilp am I still in for your game?

As to secret messages, I don't like them, but will concede to their use as I never notice them myself so unless they're brought to my attention I won't be bothered by them.

tar-ancalime · 03-08-2006, 05:04 AM

(sign me up for the next game)

I'm all for secret messages, handshakes, and other devious play. Provided, of course, it happens in the game thread where we've all got a shot at deciphering it, and it doesn't reference any real-life information to which we're not all privy.

I found the anagrams and recognized them as such, but I have to admit that I was too lazy to figure out what they were saying. I will not make that mistake again!

EDIT:

Lovers! I have been waiting for this to show up in a game. Now I'm really excited. Can we start RIGHT NOW?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-08-2006, 05:18 AM

Setting: We shall be set in early First Age Hildórien, a few years after the awakening of Men.

All occupations, therefore, must fit this. You can be trappers (NOT hunters), shepherds, fisherfolk, etc.

(Well, maybe I could allow anachronisms, but they must be in italics. Otherwise I'll be subtracting points from you. You don't want that, I assure you.

)

I shall be a prophet; not the Mod God, but the kon Vayor of his wishes. (Don't ask. Just wait for the opening post.

)

Cailín · 03-08-2006, 06:17 AM

Ai, Nilp, stealing my brilliant ideas! I should... I should...

Oh, this is só mean. I cannot possibly sign up unless you postpone the start till Tuesday at the earliest. But then, I do really not want to miss this game. *sulks*

Anguirel · 03-08-2006, 06:25 AM

Postpone the start Nilp! We can't let Cailinimedes the Great Inventor miss out.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-08-2006, 06:27 AM

For you, Cailín, it will be moved.

Tuesday it is.

Okay, speaking of times . . . there shall be two choices. I wish to know which one's more convenient for the majority.

1. Game cycles at 5:30am, GMT. No fluctuations.

2. Game cycles at 8:00am, GMT, although on Saturdays it will be 2-3 hours earlier.

So, I need two opinions now:

~ The other roles (Hunter, Ranger, Cobbler, etc.)

~ The DAY/NIGHT cycle time.

Lhunardawen · 03-08-2006, 06:32 AM

Mwahaha! It's your turn to suffer from timezones! *evil smilie*

Well, to some extent.

I'll go with option 2, 8:00 AM GMT.

Hunter, Ranger the same. I'm not very sure about the Cobbler or a Cursed. Will the Seeriffs be enough to counteract the four wolves? Or is the scale heavier on one side?

tar-ancalime · 03-08-2006, 06:34 AM

I prefer the first choice for the time cycle, but both are better-than-average for me.

Now, as to other roles--

I'd like to see a Hunter and Ranger who can pm each other as in the last game.

Farael · 03-08-2006, 06:36 AM

well, for us in North America it might be better starting at 5 30 GMT as it'd be around midnight for most of us... but then, it's a little unfair on our Brittish counterparts (Wait, will this hamper Saucepan Wolf? hmmmm

) Anyway, I cast my vote for 8 GMT. North Americans may have to vote a few hours early but it would give Brittish (And most European I guess) people a chance to vote before the deadline.

I must admit to be ignorant of Timezones in Europe though, so those of you who actually live there should speak up now or hold your peace for ever.... or 'till the end of the current WW game, whichever happens first

Cailín · 03-08-2006, 06:41 AM

Yay! Thanks Nilp.

As for roles, just a plain Hunter and Ranger would do, I suppose. The cursed or cobbler doesn't seem like a clever idea: might be overdoing all the intrigues. Also, to add another team and make the Hunter and Ranger Shiriffs might be overdoing it.

I vote 8:00 GMT, obviously.

Also, Nilp, did you decide on boy/girl lovers or just random, which would allow for boy/boy and girl/girl lovers?
