Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves)

[The Saucepan Man]

How do Guardian scenes work? Does DAY appear, and the villagers are told nobody is killed? Or is there an exciting cut-scene in which the Mod describes how player X was walking along at night when lots of werewolves jumped out at him, and suddenly the Guardian (masked and robed of course...) leaps out and scares them away?

No - the Villagers are just told that no one died (which could also mean either that the Cursed Villager was chosen by the Werewolves or that the Werewolves were too slow in notifying the moderator of their choice).

Similarly, how do Hunter scenes work (when the Hunter is killed by werewolves)? Is nothing revealed until DAY, when the scenes of the previous NIGHT's struggle are revealed? Or is there a cut-scene, describing what goes on?

The next DAY, the Villagers find the body of the Hunter and the person that the Hunter chose to kill. If the Hunter's victim is an innocent Villager, it is up to the moderator to decide how this happened.

If I understand correctly, the Hunter still gets a shot if he is lynched by villagers. This would obviously be described at the end of DAY.

Yes.

I'll need to get my thinking cap on to come up with a way for the Hunter to be killed by werewolves AND find time during this assault to kill an innocent and sleeping villager. Rest assured, it will be complicated.

As for that other situation mentioned, I had thought this might be the way to go if the werewolves do attack the Cursed villager. I have come up with a 'chilling' scene, but it would involve the other players knowing about it. This is because I have already begun mentioning the SCORE at the end of every kill.

Werewolves: 3
Villagers: 11

....or whatever. And I'd hate to lie, and post something (that there are only 3 werewolves) which the villagers might believe but which is actually false.

So if the Cursed villager is attacked, the other players will know about it.

Hi, all! I just wanted to apologize for my absence in the game...I had a very, very busy weekend, as in having to take the SAT's, which basically ate my day yesterday. So, I'm sorry, all!

Thanks to Eomer and Saucy for clearing up my questions. I have one more for you though.

Can anybody at all be the Moderator? If there are no specific qualifications I need, I would love to Mod a game sometime in the Summer.

Also, I was going to post this poem today. Due to my unfortunate second demise, I'll just post it here today (or it'll go to waste, poor thing).

Fools! Oh woe! The Fishmonger is slain!
A devilry conceived of our own misguided hands
And unguided now we shall remain
Grief lies heavy upon Storyland
No Wisdom to share, no Eyes to See
Alas for Evisse, unjustly killed
The wolves rejoice in their unhappy glee
Rest in peace, and know vengeance shall be fulfilled.

I also never got round to showing you all the Memorial Carrots. Here they are:

Enjoyed the poem(s) and the memorial carrots

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Brilliant. Storyland will be a much poorer place without you!

And yes, anyone can come in off the street and do this. How do you think I got the job?

NB: Nothing in this post should be read as implying anything in the current game. It is simply how I had decided to deal with the situation when I moderated the last game.

Eomer, I thought that it would be rather more interesting if the Villagers do not know whether the Guardian has been successful or the Werewolves have attacked the Cursed Villager, in the event that no one dies during the NIGHT.

To account for this, I was going to post (after a NIGHT with no deaths):

Werewolves: 3?
Villagers: 11?

This would imply that either the Guardian had been successful and the score was correctly stated or the Cursed Villager had become a Werewolf, in which case the true score would be:

Werewolves: 4
Villagers: 10

That's the way that I had decided to handle it, but it's up to you how you deal with it in this game.
