Okay.

The narration for Day1 is finally at place and the one for Night2 is coming soon (in time anyway). Sorry. I just had a hectic day and had not too much time to do these. It will be better on the next days as my RL timetable looks easier.

To answer the queries (Nerwen in the thread and Roa here): there will be no modfire in this game (it reads in the rules).

The only exception would be that someone was caught "red-handed" violating the basic rules that form the athmosphere of general trust and goodwill on the part of the players aka. having conversations about the game with confidential information about the roles done outside the game etc...

I discourage you to talk about the game in msn or RL (or wherever) in general, even with your best mates as long as you both are alive. I know it's hard. But one might accidentally slip something and for that reason... try to stay calm.

But the real offence would be to talk about your own roles.

Yeah, seriously, just don't talk about the game at all.

I nearly smacked Stick when she and Lari were staying with Nienna and me and Stick was musing over which players sent her PMs and which just sent them to Lari.

"Fea doesn't send me PMs, she just messages me on MSN."

"Yeah," I said, looking worriedly at Nienna, glaring at Stick, and quickly typing 'Fail STICK!!!' to Lari. "It's hard, you know, when you can't talk to anybody, so a lot of people send PMs to the mods just so that they can have an audience to their thoughts."

Ooh, I glared at Stick... Way to tell Nienna I had a role that required Nightly PMversations with the mod!

So yes. Slips happen, and you should just avoid all game-discussion until all y'all are dead.

I guess since I assume Nog is sleeping now, and I don't know when he will get my message. It's best if I just inform ye all, I need to leave the group of Rangers. I thought I could squeeze in another game, but that aint happening, there's too much going on. I requested to be killed at the end of the Day, so do with me what you will.

Hi guys.

Just want to say sorry for not being around toDay. My work day was ridiculously busy and I didn't actually get home until 6 and then friends who I haven't seen in a while came round within the hour and didn't leave til 11. Amidst all that I'm afraid I just totally forgot about the game.

Clearly I have to miss one Day in a game.

Consider these ones (from the game thread) as false statements...
Quote:
The Night-guards are Kath and Nerwen.

Also Nienna should have to choose two BG's (not Kath or Nerwen as they are occupied already).
The rules say that when the number of players is 12-7 there will be only one NG and one BG - and together the three of them (C, BG & NG) form the guarding-gang who can PM together.

I had totally forgotten that Boro left from my numbers (I hadn't forgotten that Boro leaves but had not subtracted him from the tally). The problem is corrected and the people whom this is to concern have been notified of the rule. Kath is the NG as she got the votes first and Nienna now has only one BG (whose name will be revealed in the next narration).

Sorry once again.

Nog:

Leaving my mother's house now, and I'll PM you when I get home. Need a bit of time to think so as soon as I get Hunter switched back on I'll let you know. 15 minutes tops.
