And as Kuru shows us, it's not like the villagers are winning many games.

Yeah, but didn't the villagers win at least one of the games that had the bear in it?

The bear doesn't just kill villagers you know.

Glirdan · 01-28-2006, 09:44 AM

Hmmmm.... By the looks of things, I might actually be able to play. Thursday you say? Well, put my name down and I'll give you conformation by Wedensday. That ok Menel?

malkatoj · 01-28-2006, 09:58 AM

I'll be needing a role then, eh?

Well, I'd like to be the Retired Miracle Man, despite the fact that I'm not a man. It'll be fun, like a game...except it is a game.

This game is promising to be very, very awesome, by the way.

Hmmm... I suppose so. I'll PM the roles Wednesday instead of Tuesday then.

Yes that's true but odds are in favor of him/her killing villagers and not wolves.

I was gonna sit this one out and get some physics done but...

Kath's in.

Therefore, TGWBS is obliged to join.
And for my profession... Hmm. An island, eh? In that case, I shall be a mermaid-catcher and fisherman.

Hmm if no one has any objections then I shall be the deluded girl who believes she is a mermaid. For various reasons I think this role would be perfectly suited for me right now.

The player list is looking great! Too bad Nilp decided to join again, though.

Just a suggestion / question Menel: in a village with over 15 innocents and an Apprentice, I think you really should consider adding a Cursed as well, lest the game should become unbalanced. Of course, it is all up to you in the end. And, if the Ranger or Hunter dies, will the Apprentice also take over the Shiriff part of the role?

Just don't start speaking in Scottish Gaelic and we'll be fine

I'll be the local investigator into the paranormal (and yes that role may have something to do with X-files magazine sitting right next to me!).

Yes, the Apprentice will take over the Shirriff part as well.

As for adding a Cursed, I suppose I could do that at 18 villagers instead of 20. We currently have 16, so neither the Cursed nor the Apprentice will be in the game unless at least two more sign up. Even if the limit of 20 is reached, though, there will be no Bear.

For occupations, and if we're on an island, I'd rather like being someone who (fairly) recently washed ashore...Perhaps my boat had a bad time in a storm, perhaps I went out for a swim, perhaps I fell from the moon...and perhaps I was just stretched for ideas.

Don't worry, Cailín (of the Rohirrim?), I'll be good and non-suicidal . . .

. . . if I'm a Werewolf. Otherwise, forget it.

Naria · 01-29-2006, 11:37 AM

I'd like to play in another ww game, butArry has started a new rpg and I don't know if I can play in both....can someone let me know if I can/can't.
Hmmm....looked back in this thread and there seems to be alot of experienced players in this ww game....might be over my head if I join in. Could give it a go though!

Glirdan · 01-29-2006, 11:43 AM

Naria, if you feel intimidated, there is a WWJ game that should be starting as soon as my game is over.

My occupation, if I can play that is, will be the crazy guy down the street. Or something along the lines that have me being crazy in it.

Gurthang · 01-28-2006, 05:02 PM

Wow, this looks to be a fantastic game. But alas, I fear for my college work. It has not been a problem yet, but I'm finding my homework increasing. Therefore, I shall not be playing.

I plan on being able to join you all again this summer, though I will play again sooner if possible.

Now, forgive me for butting into a discussion of a game I won't be in, but I just wanted to provide information.

There have been two games that have included bears. In the first game, which I was the bear, the wolves were all lynched in four days, leaving just me against the village. Needless to say, the village won that game going away. In the second episode, the bear, Glirdan, died the third day after only getting two kills. The wolves won that one without even losing a one of their own; none of them died. So, right now, that leaves the villagers and wolves tied at 1 each, and the Bears are 0 for 2.

All in all, I really don't think the bear shifts the balance either way. Initially, the wolves are in danger of dying Day and Night, and the villagers are likely to lose two every Night. As soon as the bear is gone, then both obstacles are gone, leaving the village just as if no bear had been there.

But, as I said, I am not in this game, so this is not for me to decide. Hope you guys have fun, I'll be watching as possible.

So, long as you don't go gender-changing on us, Viola...

As for me, I'll be the mysterious lady who lives in the depths of the forest.

mormegil · 01-28-2006, 09:08 PM

I will be an elven smith. The finest metal smithing in all the region.

Formendacil · 01-28-2006, 10:21 PM

Occupations, occupations....

One must have one.

Hmmm...

I'll be... Hmmm... what WILL I be?

I'll be the village historian: dusty, musty, and a nose always in a book...
