Because it's fun to talk about me.

Plus he wanted my attention perhaps?

Why does everyone assume that just because he comes up with a crazy plan, we have to follow it? We could always just ignore him.

And I hadn't considered that when Boro said 'allied with Zeus' that he meant 'the village'. I suppose that all makes more sense now.

I don't say ignore him, but he shouldn't be blindly followed either. No one should, at this point.

Lynching someone and being dictated to by someone are two options at far ends from each other. I'm saying p'raps we don't want to do either.

Good glory, is there any purpose to this first day at all, besides bantering, teasing, and otherwise killing time?

I guess not.

I'm going to go check out the roles. Then I'm going to get something exciting happening.

No, no, it definitely has to be one or the other, Fowlren. Slavery or bloody revolution– there is simply no middle ground!

Sure there is– lynching people!

Edit: X'd with Wilwa.

[Nerwen]

Seriously, Fowlren, Day Ones are generally useful for analysis later on, if nothing else.

Also, with so many weird roles, things could get interesting even this early on.

I definitely concur. As Wilwa said she was going to do, I just looked over all the roles. Craziness!

I mean, really, what the Hades is going on? And I hear there's a mortal among us! We must smite this upstart immediately!

She's invoking the name of Hades! Lynch her! Lynch her!

Grar, I wish I had more time. I'll be back in six hours or so and shall putz around and catch up then.


And there are (essentially) ordo roles in the game. They're just not mortal. (How do I know this, you ask? Well wouldn't you like to know?)

That's true. Didn't think about that. At the time though it is quite confusing.

If you find a purpose for day one other than what you mentioned you will have to share.

So far I got a whole lot of nothing.

Well, of the Great Ones that have so far spoken, many seem to have taken too freely of Ganymede's cups - but still, these are times of confusion and chaos not seen for many an age, so perhaps we can excuse ourselves. And to add to the chaos, no-one, save one, is 'innocent' in the sense of being exactly what they seem. Some are already grouped and paired and so know more than others, others are searching for mates.

Doesn't to me - particularly as Zeus himself is not whole-heartedly allied to the village.

Is he allied to the village at all? Can he win without Hera?

What I said.

EDIT:X'd since tum at #43.

If Hera dies, then isn't he at that point on the side of the village, as he is a non-WW who can only live if the village triumphs? And that goes for the other non-WW lovers too, yes?

Well, I think in reference to the narrations, how Zeus is supposed to be on the 'good' side, so 'allied to Zeus' would be 'allied to the good side'.

The roles.

4 Wolves, 3 of which have Lovers (2 of which need to be located, and there is some potential for revenge kills or role knowledge, if one of them dies)

1 Unicorn

1 Mytho

2 Shirrifs (some protecting powers for Hercules if Hebe dies)

2 Seers (1 of which is False)

1 Ranger

1 Cursed (who knows they are cursed)

1 Hunter

1 Hunting Guardian (can communicate with the Hunter)

2 'Protectors' (Demeter knows the identity of Persephone (a lover), and can protect her once. Athena will know the identity of one of the Hunting Guardian, the Ranger, the Hunter, or the Seer, and she can get an extra vote twice)

1 Ordo

So. Possibilty for 2 more wolves, and the two lost lovers are potential allies for the wolves as well. At least there's no Cobbler. But then there are lots of gifteds, and the potential for another (Mytho) and for one to come back (Unicorn). Lots of oppurtunities for extra death, but also lots of oppurtunities for extra protecting. So I suppose it actually is pretty balanced.

*brain explodes*

Well, Wilwa's post was at least an attempt at clarification so thanks for that. I have no idea what Sally's on about though - what's this plethora of ordness of which you speak?

Unicorn is like an Ord, something only happens with their death. Persephone and Aphrodite are like Ordos until they've been found (and will remain so if their matches die before finding them). Mytho could become an Ordo if they choose certain people. The Cursed is like an Ordo until (if) they get chosen by the Wolves.

I can only assume she's referring to one of those. Unless she knows something the rest of us don't.

... I'm almost too impressed with myself to post ... I made it to Day 1!

So hello all. Think there are quite a few people here I've never played with before so this should be interesting. I've just got home so will read through what admittedly looks like not very much and get back to you.
