Actually, the image of our driving away suitors to our eligible maidens with one of his saucepans amuses me to no end, so I'll be quite disappointed if we end up childless.

Any volunteers?
Hey people, could you even dream of more weird parents? The always sensible Celuien, and the Spm? Hello! Just dramatically the most twisted parents you might have? Why don't you grasp your chance? (Were I not an old-timer with a family, I might have surely wanted to be their child)

Why not - then Celuien and I would get to be grandparents.

Hey now, it's not my fault I'm not part of a family. Every time I try to take out your jewel of a daughter, your wife starts swinging her battledore and screaming "You stay away from my Zali!"

Eek, I had forgotten - I'll be in Detroit at the ballgame on Sunday May 21, so don't look for me that day. Or likely the evening before.

I've always wanted to play in a secret-role'd village. Cool.

++ HIDE THE ROLES

Aagh, I'm flip-flopping about this vote already...

And I'm already dreaming about this game. Or, at least Diamond's battledores. (Ick ick ick ick. You don't wanna know.)

Me and Fea as sisters.....one widow, one unmarried.... Almost like Patty and Selma... Hee Hee

I for one vote for some knowledge of the roles or I fear I will be terribly confused.

No, I believe that it is I who is terribly mistaken. Yet, you can play either gender and (I am not sure of this, so Naria, correct me if I'm wrong) she could be playing a male.

Naria's status is Eligible young maiden, so I think she is a girl and cannot be someone's brother.

Thumbs up Yes, Elempí.

I'm in.

About children . . . I've heard that families with advanced bloodlines in old villages were either made rulers or killed. And since we already have a mayor . . .

. . . Well, I guess it depends on the missus. spawn, do you want broodlings or not?

Eomer, single some lass out to receive your romantic attentions.

Dad and Mom (Alca and Cai), one of you be the older brother or sister of someone, like Sauce.

Fea- you're a widow. Hmm.... let's say that it was my older brother (and Eomer's) that was your husband.

Yes...perfect...

Our family must grow. GROW!

Yay, I have a husband! As to the offsprings, don't we already have one - Kath? Hmm, we must be great parents if we've forgot if we have kids or not, but sure, we can get a few more.

Uh oh, so probably anyone who votes for you, Nogrod, Eonwe, Lhuna, Zali or Firefoot will get six votes on Day 1.

Nilp, we need to expand our family! Quick!

If input is requested about the hunter I say give him/her ability to kill when they die so I agree with Eomer and Spawn.

I refuse to be dragged into your dastardly scheme. Besides, as Jenny pointed out, we don't want to be too horribly inbred. Oh, I plan on voting for my family members as I see fit.

I feel remarkably unloved. Fea? We don't want Fea. Well then she can be your cousin. You're uncle's ex-wife's sister-in-law's little brother's second cousin once removed on his father's side?

But that's quite all right... with all the time I spend with my sheep, I just haven't time to tend to romance or family. If ye want me, ye'll have to come a'searchin'. I've got my priorities, and they baaaa.

You sensible lass, Fea, sticking to your work and not letting any of these men distract you from it. I have high hopes for you...you may live in my mansion, if you like...Mamma left me her house, and there's a nice spare room not getting any use.

If Gurthang agrees to be my handyman, we'll put him up on a cot in the kitchen...it's always warm in there, I pay him well, and if darling little Fufu needs out in the night he'll be right there handy.

Can't deny it.

We need some single people around to gang up on.... I mean, provide variety....

Edit: Though, come to think of it, Eomer is in the market for a brother, tp. And the thought of you two troublemakers as brothers just makes my fingers itch for the battledore.

Ooo! That'd be interesting! As long as I'm not related to Kath, I'm fine. You could put Naria as my brother and we compete for Kath that way. Just make sure that neither of us are related to Kath.

addendum toward game time

If you don't firm whether you're playing by 6pm Wed., well, then you're not in the game, are you. Almost goes without saying, but I thought I'd make that clear.

You're so mean, Diamond.

I'm hoping I can find an ally in your husband, Nogrod. Perhaps his many battledore bruises have made him sympathetic to poor souls like me who have suffered cruelty at his wife's hands, for crimes no worse than complimenting Zali on her fine work as a seamstress.

I've sent the rough chart below to Hookbill, to turn into something pretty. There are a few permutations on it that will take some of you by surprise, I wager.....

Nogrod = Diamond
|
Eonwe=Lhunardawen ... Azaelia .... Firefoot
* * * *
mormegil = (passed on)
|
Jenny Hallu ... Celuien = The Saucepan Man
|
Naria ... Kitanna
* * * *
Sleepy Ranger = Roa Aoife
|
Caranlondien ... Glirdan ... Lommy
* * * *
Spawn = Nilpaurion (or 'passed on' if he doesn't play)
|
Kath (yem)
* * * *
Alcarillo = Cailín
|
the phantom ... Eomer
* * * *
(passed on)
|
Lalaith (guardian)
|
Oddwen (orphan)
* * * *
(passed on) = (passed on)
|
Feanor (widow) ... Valier (never married) (sisters)
