Okay people!

I have sent out your PMs containing your roles. Remember to keep them secret!

Now would also probably be a good time to set yourselves to Invisible Mode.

Werewolves, you may begin PMing anytime you desire.

The Seer may submit a name as soon as they wish.

As for the rest of you, hang in there... We'll get properly started soon enough.

Finally, concerning Azaelia and Kath: neither of you have submitted occupations- at least that I could see. If you did, let me know, but in the meantime Azaelia is the Town Drunk and Kath is the local Gongfarmer.

Someone who farms gongs.

Thanks

I must mention by the way that my participation will be somewhat limited the first day as that is when my exam is. I might only be able to make two posts that day but I will try to make them long and insightful!

Be warned, it is not the... cleanest... of jobs. But somebody has to do it.

I suppose I'll be a clueless Gongfarmer then. Could be fun.

I think it's a septic/toilet cleaner. Good luck with that.

Because I watch Dirty Jobs and empathize you can have a free pint at my inn. I would ask that you wipe your feet first.

Perhaps, but giving the werewolves the right to choose whoever they want lynched in the case of a double-lynch could encourage them to do so as many times as they want, as subtly as they can, and each time to their advantage.

Look, let's say you and I were set up for a double lynch. The werewolves can choose only one of us, and in this case they decided to have you lynched. The next Day, when they see that I'm yet alive, the villagers could all think that I'm actually a werewolf protected by my "fellow wolves" from the previous lynch. And with that in mind, they'll have me lynched that Day.

(I hope you got that.)

Anyways, my point is that I'd prefer that you just randomly select the lynched villager in that case; factor in the werewolves' decision to pursue the double-lynch if you wish, as long as they don't get to choose which one to lynch. Or, to make things simpler, just forbid double-lynching.

Garin · 01-07-2006, 12:43 PM

I have always opposed the idea of double lynchings unless there is werebear in the mix. It ends up killing innocent villagers and playing into the werewolves hands. I think we should try to avoid ties and come up with some sound reasoning for each lynching, after all, we are KILLING PEOPLE. The first day will be crazy as usual. I think the most silent will get bumped off. Will the Euros/Brits/ Students please identify themselves so as we don't get suspicious for no reason?
My most active hours will be at the beginning and near the end of each day, being 3 pm (1500) by my time. I can't wait to lend you horses, I have the finest stock.
Villagers win!

Like Garin, I am not a fan of double-lynchings, at all. My "Werewolves" pick was, and still is, viewed in my mind as much more of a double-bladed sword that Lhuna seems to view it... but I'll bow to the masses on this issue and simplify it somewhat.

Please refer to the original rules post for clarification.
