It is, of course, up to Firefoot to decide how many players she wants in her game. I'm in agreement with all who have just there posted. If there are only 12 players in the next game then I suggest limiting gifted villagers to one Seer and possibly one Guardian. If there are 19 players then by all means throw in all the other roles.

But it's up to the all-powerful mod.

By the way, um.....playing in a game of Werewolf? Hmmm.....sounds like a novelty.... I'm in, if allowed.

Edit to add: Holby, you are my antithesis: you always have some groovy role as opposed to the resident Ordinary Villager Extraordinaire.

If Eomer is in I feel that I can request joining as well. You may have been in more than I have so far, which is hard to believe.

Would you come out and play with me...

Can I express my willingness to participate the WW VII? I totally missed last two games (shouldn't ever have left on vacation...) and I'd like to play this time.

If I play, do you think I'll make it past DAY 1 ever again? Let's hope so, 'cuz I'm in, if our beloved new Moddess Goddess will let me.

I think the Mythomaniac is an interesting addition - but remember that it is perhaps lucky that both times they have picked a special char - well maybe less this time since there were shirriffs.... Maybe it would be fairer if the Myth picked a person before gameplay started. IE before they could guess who was who.... but certainly I think you need at least 50% ordinary villagers .....

I'd like to play in the next game, but I've played in the last two consecutive games, so if there isn't enough space, feel free to drop me.

It would be interesting to see whether Fea lasts longer than Eomer or not.

I will be out of town this week from Thursday morning to Saturday afternoon. The game will probably be starting Sunday morning with NIGHT 1; I will be pm'ing roles out on Saturday evening/night. Sound alright?

Night and Day phases will begin/end at 7:30 Central time (8:30 Eastern) - this is an hour before what WW VI was.

I thought of that. Once the mytho became a werewolf, it would have to stay that way. Which could be devastating to the village if the mytho had just gotten done being a co-seer. But I really think that, barring the wildcard mytho, after the Seer the shirriffs together are the most powerful "gifteds" in the village; it may not seem like it, but this game proved it to me.

I'm in favor of this, FF.

I think this should depend on how many players. If there are less than 15, try banning their revealing themselves, say, until the Seer is gone, or until the number of innocents has been reduced to, say, 7. If the game has 15 or more players, the Shirriffs' influence wouldn't be as great as in WW VI.

What's the function of the cobbler?

I was right too, FF.

Oh, and sign me up for WW VII.

I'm in.

Been away for the last few days. Missed all the excitement...

LMP & TGWBS - Your coordinated move to reveal yourselves as sherriffs was the linchpoint of the game. A masterful stroke that proved to be the drop of water that made the cup runneth over. Good play. Well done. Bravo!

Firefoot - Very astute. You posted just enough every round so that neither one of us lycans ever suspected you. Good job.

Count me in, so long as this won't go past the 2nd week or so of August. (I'll be visiting my Grandma and she doesn't have a computer.) I'll try to post more often in this game, since I'll be done with a summer class I'm taking on the 28th, which should free up my time some more.

I think I'll be the village musician. I sing and play the violin and pennywhistle and a bit of the mandolin, so the role seems to fit me.

When you said that DAY and NIGHT periods end at 7:30 Central, I assume you mean pm? 7:30 in the morning would be a wee bit early, especially for summer ...

Hm, change of plans. Having just found out what my August schedule looks like, phases will not be ending at 7:30 (AM) - I wouldn't have time to write the deaths. So I'm thinking that 12 noon Central (1:00 Eastern) will work better. It also means that American players won't have to get up terribly early...

The players list in my last post is updated.

I'd like to see two more people sign up for a total of 17 - this would make the gifted/ungifted villager ratio equal with the full count of role types (Seer, Hunter, Guardian, Shirriffs, Cobbler, Cursed Villager).

If you don't give me a position in the village for yourself, I will be assigning jobs - they will probably be rather obscure/eccentric/strange (in other words, something that will likely give you an interesting death... )

Firefoot, sounds great to me. I really hope that we get a couple more players. I would like to see Kuruharan again.

Actually, it turns out that I will probably be gone Fri-Sat-Sun, though that does mean I will probably be able to post on Friday before leaving and Sunday after getting back. Don't know if that's enough, though.

Oh, if I am in the game I would like to be the creepy guy on the outskirts of town.

You're having the Cobbler and the Cursed, Footsie? But then again, the Sherriffs are so strong maybe they can negate those two. *shrug*
