Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

the guy who be short · 06-15-2005, 12:52 PM

Due to overwhelming support, the Seer will dream on the first night and a secret-society will be introduced. The Scribe has generated little interest and will not be used.

Nobody will have double roles - the secret-society will otherwise be ordinary villagers, as opposed to including the Seer, Guardian, etc.

Players should not discuss previous villages at all.

Wolves can PM each other only by NIGHT, the secret-society can PM each other only by DAY.

Players should not post on this thread, even after death. If they need to go somewhere and miss part of the game, they should announce a short trip in the game thread.

If votes are tied, all nominees will be lynched.

If a player does not make at least one post per DAY (however short) they will be automatically killed, with the exception of informing the others of their absence beforehand. Voting will not be compulsory - the post does not need to include a vote.

That seems to be everything. Rest assured that this will all be repeated in the opening post of the new game.

Debate should now focus on the name of the new secret society, which seems to be about all there is left to decide.

Now, the secret society...I still like Mirdain, despite the connotations...

Perhaps Outlaws? Thinking Barahir-types rather than Turin-types.

mormegil · 06-15-2005, 01:06 PM

I like all of the rules.

I would agree with a name such as rangers but I also thought it might be fun to call them the Shirriffs. Being that they have no real power to speak of but they can trust each other.

I know I'm not in this game, but if the name of the secret-society is to be used in all future games, I second mormegil's shirrifs.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 06-15-2005, 02:44 PM

I'll third Shirriffs. Even though it's more of a hobbit thing than a Men thing, it's still a cute nod.

Anguirel · 06-15-2005, 02:46 PM

I'm not mad on Shirrifs, due to the Hobbitishness, but I've no serious objection...

Ainaserkewen · 06-15-2005, 03:12 PM

In the original game I'm used to, the Seers (we always had two) were called Sheriffs.

the phantom · 06-15-2005, 03:17 PM

Would there be any objection to referring to the "masons" as "those-two-people-who-work-together-that-are-like-masons". Perhaps we could call them "ttpwwttalm" for short.

Or how about naming them after a famous inseparable pair from right here on the Downs- "Phan-Feas".

I like "shirriffs" too.
