Tol-in-Gaurhoth Junior

[Valier]

Alright I am definately in!

I shall be a female Dwarf, with a beard so long it rivals the mens. Occupation= Well with all the bird related roles.....they will surely get hungry! I will be a Millet spray picker.

[Glirdan]

This is looking to be quite an interesting game!!

[JennyHallu]

For those (*coughSAUCEcough*) worried about the purpose and necessity of two WW games...this seems to be the way to go when the playing pool is thinnish and large games are in the works. Use the two threads so there can be continuous recruitment, and minimal to no downtime between games. That way those who (crazily, and like me) wish to play game after game can, and no mod is forced to wait slowly with no interest in his/her game while his/her own morale and motivation decline.

Sounds good to me, as long as people avoid playing in two games at once and don't neglect one game in their eagerness for the next.

Am I to be the only Orc?

[Glirdan]

While we're on the topic of the games, I think it'd be a good idea to have a list of mods for the junior (I don't know why everyone is calling it senior. Not just the most experienced players play there so it's not senior now is it??).

Lmp's game will be excluded because his game might put the Junior games on hold because there will be a giant amount of people playing.

Diamond18
Lommy and (I believe) Norgrod
Samwise

If you would like to sign up for modding a game afterwards, please do one of the following (I'll end up saving the lists in a folder on my computer): a) copy and paste the list above and put your name at the bottom. b) PM me to let me know so I can update the list. Thank you for your cooperation in this.

If someone has the list for the original game thread, please, be my guest and post it. I will also go and post the list in the original gaming thread once Farael's game is over.

[Kath]

Glirdan I'm modding after lmp in the Senior thread not in here.

[Glirdan]

Ahhh!! Ok, I'll edit that out then. Thanks Kath!

[Elu Ancalime]

Yay! 24 hour 12-hour phases!!! (If only time could really be drawn ou 2x)

Let's hope, no-one uses this list, as the philosophical penguins -game (by me and Lommy) will be after Samwise's game... So the order should be:

Junior
Diamond18
Samwise
Lommy & Nogrod
Glirdan

[Glirdan]

Well, I'm only going off what has been said previously in the thread. So please forgive me.

No problem. There was this same confusion earlier too. But I think Samwise really did come up with the modding earlier than we did.

Actually I am playing with the idea of exerting my moderatorly perogative to make Spawn an Orcish Astronaut. That is, if you don't object, Spawn.

[Lalaith]

Those of us on BST will either have to vote early or stay up til 4am....

So the owl/seer gets just the one dream?

I think it would be quite amusing if the ducks knew the goose but not vice-versa.

Yes, sorry about that. But my schedule is all over the place and late at night is the only time I'm guarunteed to be here every day.

Oh, and there will be no double lynchings. Don't know about retractables yet. I liked them before but now I'm kind of enjoying the stability in Farael's game.

So the owl/seer gets just the one dream?

No, no, s/he dreams every night. But I played one game where the Seer (Seeker, actually) didn't get a first night dream because the game started with a Day phase. So I thought I'd make it clear that this starts with a Night phase.

I think it would be quite amusing if the ducks knew the goose but not vice-versa.

Duly noted.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ack! I just worked it out and the deadline is 6am my time!
So this means I'd have to vote insanely early and be missing from the game for a good amount of time. I'd be active from 3 pm till 10:30 pm my time and then leave my vote at around 5:45 am my time, which is when I wake up on school-days. When I'm off I'll be able to stay up late and'll probably vote around 3 am my time.

There, thats my schedule for this game. If a majority of people believe it'd be an annoyance I guess I'll drop out...

EDIT: I like retraceable votes but I agree with you, I am enjoying the stability in Farael's game. I'd say no to retraceable votes because it'd keep people from throwing away their vote.

Also, I don't think the goose or duck should know either... think of the insanity...

So it's 6 hours difference, then. That makes the deadline 4am for us Brits (and even later for the Continentals and Scandinavians, I think). Any chance of bringing it forward by a few hours, Di?

And, despite having been a Cobbler (Huan) who got killed by the shtoopid Wolves (Heroes) on the first night, I think it probably works better if the Ducks don't know the identity of the Goose either. A large part of the game (and much of its intrigue) involves trying to work out who are the gifteds and I am not sure that the Ducks should be denied this pleasure ( ) with regard to the Goose. They already have more information than anyone else as it is.

Only one Owl dream? That rather balances the game in the Ducks' favour doesn't it? Or do you mean that the Owl gets a dream on the first night, before the game starts in earnest, and then every night thereafter until caught?

Good. I am rather fearing an anti-Orc sentiment on the first day in the absence of anything else to go on ...

Nonsense! You, Spanman, are awesome!

Ah, I see.

Personally, I'm a fan of double lynchings, but I can live without them. As a Wolf in a large village, I found the prospect of only one villager a day being lynched rather daunting. But they can seriously unbabalnce a game when there are a few known innocents hanging around. And, while I appreciate the different dynamic in a game with retractable votes, I prefer non-retractable votes on the whole. Voting is something which should not be undertaken lightly and retractabvle votes give the Ducks much more opportunity to "hide" their votes.

[Diamond18]

Re: the deadline.

I actually have two options as far as the deadline goes. Either 10 PM or 8 AM. I prefer 10 PM because I am a night person. However, since I love you all so much, and it seems I have a lot of people in my game who reside over the sea, I could, I suppose, change it to 8 AM..........

But that's the only other time that's guarunteed to work every day. [whine] My schedule is stupid, and I hate it. I work all different shifts on different days, so while one time might be good for me, say, Monday, on Tuesday it's a bad time, etc. [/whine]

So actually we can take a vote, if people want. 10 PM or 8 AM.

Sauce and Sleepy's opinions on the Goose noted, as well.
