Quote:

If the ranger happened to choose the hunter to protect, and the wolves choose the hunter to kill, then (I assume) that means the hunters' choice does not die either because the hunter did not die. Correct?

Yes.

Quote:

If the ranger protects who the hunter choose and the hunter is killed the ranger can protect against the hunter killing too, right?

I would say that the Ranger only protects against Werewolf kills, but it's open to question. So that's one for Holby.

Quote:

What about the Hunter, can they want to kill the same person every night?

Usually, yes. Although I suppose that the game mod can change the rule if he/she wants.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-27-2006, 02:47 AM

No, I'm not going to disappear in a puff of light.

I won't be modding XVII, after all, due to unfortunate circumstances--or a serious of dubiously unlucky ones. You decide. Menel, it's your game.

EDIT: Although, I would want to join the next game. I'll be an escaped thrall (from Tol-in-Gaurhoth, if possible).

Lhunardawen · 01-27-2006, 02:56 AM

YES!!!

*dances around like a Lhunatic*

But Menel modding? Aww...I'm so sorry, but I really should be taking a break. The previous game had me thoroughly exhausted. *glances pointedly at Formendacil*

Garin · 01-27-2006, 04:06 AM

I would be amiss not to wish Naria the best and to hope her family emergency was not so emergent. Best of luck Naria.

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 01-27-2006, 04:32 AM

I need my (almost) monthly WW game.

I'm in.

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-27-2006, 05:38 AM

I still have no home Broadband connection, but I'm hopeful that it will be resolved within the next day or so.

So count me in for the next game for now, with a proviso that I may have to withdraw if my connection problems continue.

Who's modding?

Menel?

Proposed roles 'n rules, please.

Firefoot · 04-30-2006, 09:55 AM

I agree with Kath. If you have to vote an hour or two early, that is not bad. That hardly even deserves to be called voting early. The problem that happens if you move it much earlier is that then some of us will be voting about six or seven hours early. That just plain stinks.

mormegil · 04-30-2006, 10:28 AM

I tend to agree with Diamond, whatever is best for LMP and the rest of us will accomodate the best we can.

I second the motion (although it's already been seconded...)

Roa_Aoife · 04-30-2006, 11:09 AM

I third it, or fourth it, or whatever. We'll make it work.

Gurthang · 04-30-2006, 01:14 PM

Well, first off, about times(if I play):

Any work for me. I'm pretty sure that I won't hesitate to stay up late to vote if necessary (although, I shouldn't do that frequently). And I'm not worried about voting early.

Next, I've not yet given any occupation or relationship(again, if I play):

I think I'll be a stable-hand at our jolly Saucepan Barman's establishment. As to my single/someone's child/married status and age, I'll leave that up entirely to LMP.

I have noticed that no one is asking about normal rules, probably because we are so intrigued with the new ones. So, here are a couple. First, double lynches? I'm assuming no, but I want to be sure. Next, is there any penalty for not voting/not posting? Like instant termination... or even instantly 'switching' sides.

Oh, and as to whether or not I will actually be playing... my last final is on Wednesday, May 10. If the game starts after that, then I'm in. If it starts before... well, I'm still undecided about that.

Thinlómien · 05-24-2006, 03:37 PM

Because of the possible confusion, we will announce this here for this one time:

WWJ IX: Psychotic Penguins: The Crossing of Helcaraxë

So what really happened to Elenwë? What was the fate of the Noldor lost on the Grinding Ice? Who were those guys with the black suits? Who was behind all that? What is the meaning of life anyway? And what has Cartesian Dualism to do with any of this?

This TiGJ-game will start in early June (after Kath’s game has been going on for a while)!

Book your tickets here to take part in this adventure – and to test the effectiveness of Hume’s guillotine!

Garin · 05-24-2006, 07:57 PM

I've received a rep point sans name saying I was missed. I have met the perfect storm of a non-participation-causing maelstrom.
Lost my job, had to move, lost my companion, my felines were taken away by aforementioned companion and then my lousy little lap top completely crashed and burned and I hope it will return home soon from the shop.
Anyways, I hope things will be close to normal soon and I hope to kick your behinds in the next WW. Cheers all.

05-24-2006, 08:37 PM

Is it to late to join? If not count me in

Formendacil · 05-24-2006, 11:25 PM

There is a link to the Junior Planning thread in Thinlomien's post, where you can sign up, fellows. This thread is currently reserved for notices of serious departure pertaining to LMP's WW game.

I mention it because, that being the case, signing up here may well not be valid.

Naria · 05-25-2006, 12:03 AM

Form, I may be misunderstanding what you are saying. Is what you are saying only pertaining to the Lomgrod game or Kath's as well(or both)? I don't really understand what the problem is. If one has died in the Little guy's game, why would one not be able to come on here and sign up or talk about another game? Is that not what this thread is for?

That was me. Blame the clumsy fingers for the anonymous state of the rep. You are missed.

And envied?

Yes. The 100% lynch rate remains a wonder to behold.

Enedwaith, hope everything turns out well. Then get your behind back here!

Oh, and Kath, I'll be an ex-World Champion in Chess. With suicidal tendencies, of course.

Kath · 05-28-2006, 04:45 AM

Celuien and Lommy I need occupations from you.

Sauce I need a yes or a no from you.

Now, to other matters.

Rules:
Deadline will be 11pm GMT - please don't ask me to translate that into EST or CST or anything because a) I won't be able to and b) my head will explode if I try!

NO double lynchings - if there is a tie the first person to get the most votes will be lynched.

Retractable votes - because I love the mad frenzy at the end when we have those.

Roles:
3 werewolves
Seer
Ranger
Hunter
Changeling - the person with this role will choose another player each Night and will gain that players power for the Night, in place of the real Gifted. For example, if I was the Seer and Lommy was the Changeling, if Lommy chose me that Night she would dream in my place, but I would be informed of who she dreamed of. If the Changeling chooses a wolf, that wolf cannot join in the Night's PMing (once they know they've been chosen) but nor can the Changeling. However, the Changeling does get final decision on the kill. They cannot choose the same person until 2 Night's has passed, and they cannot reveal anything they have learned about people's roles at Night, but while in posession of a Gift (be it good or evil) they are on that teams side. So, as a wolf they could kill the Seer if they knew who the player was, and as the Seer they could dream of a wolf to let the real Seer know who one was.

If that makes any sense to anyone I will be amazed. I'm not going to be here for quite a lot of the day but please ask questions, argue amongst yourselves, and will try to sort it all out when I come back, which should be at around 7.

The game will be starting today at 11pmGMT with a Night phase.

Celuien · 05-28-2006, 04:49 AM

Occupation...

Ketchup grower. Yes, it does grow on trees.

Thinlómien · 08-03-2007, 11:17 AM

I and Gil have agreed to change spots because I'm relatively busy in the near future and Gil' s eager for his game to start. So the new modding list should be like:

Shasta
Gil-Galad
Thinlómien

So Naria if you would be so kind to change it, I'd be pleased.

Gil-Galad · 08-03-2007, 11:22 AM

So when Shasta starts his game up i will get the admin thread ready to go and get myself organized, i wouldn't mind a co-mod to help me if i miss a time or even just getting a end-day story ready if i come across a writers block

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-03-2007, 05:08 PM

Do I need to send my game of to someone, to make sure it's balanced and everything?

*worried*

Feel free to PM me your idea I will look it over and get back to you if you are worried.

Gil-Galad · 08-04-2007, 12:06 PM

the best thing to do is start an admin thread, there people can talk it over with you and join the game
