So I guess I'm just a loner than? Some migrant manual laborer who just wandered into town and happened to get a job? Sounds fine, I guess... I was halfway hoping to be married off by LMP. I'd be much too shy to ask someone myself.

Well, if the game starts Wed., then I'll probably have to drop. I have a final that day (actually, a few finals

), and even if it starts later in the day, I'll be doing some extra sleeping and driving the next 24 hours. So, in short, I'd miss out on most of the Day 1 fun, which is some of the best banter of the whole game.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-08-2006, 07:51 AM

Lom-Lom, there are no retractable votes; and I think that nothing happens if the GW is chosen by the wolves. Hunter-variable is down to LMP, but Hunters have been known to have a free kill regardless of who kills them in the past (Mormegil slaying Abercrombie immediately comes to my mind!).

Does "be betrothed" even make sense? Why am I using words that I don't know how to use? And Cailín: I presume you meant: "How did we ever manage to produce two such improbably wonderful sons?"

I take your meaning quite well. Bold fellow to brave a flurry of flying kettles, pans, and other assorted cooking implements to make your case.

Very interesting.

Argh! I haven't played ww for ages (read: a month or a bit more) so I'm starting to forget the rules...

A note on posting times: I won't usually be around for the first half of the day (doesn't include weekends and exceptional days) , so don't wonder my absences...

Roa_Aoife · 05-08-2006, 09:44 AM

People with time contraints- If my reading of the rules is correct, all days and nights will last 48 hours untill the village is small enough to go back a regular schedule. (After all, with 30 people trying to talk, it'd be quite hectic if we onle had 24 hours to decide with. That's not even taking into account the myriad of heavy posters we have playing!

)

Now that I know you're playing, we'll see what can be arranged.

CLARIFICATION! Each Day and Night will be only 24 hours long (unless it becomes clear that they need to be longer).

Yes. At least, that is how I understand the Hunter rules. I've noticed some weird kills here and there that don't make sense to me, such as the Hunter killing the Seer; how does that happen?

This happens when the Hunter chooses the Seer as the one they will take down with them (by accident!) and then they are killed by the wolves at Night.

JennyHallu · 05-08-2006, 11:11 AM

Gurthang, might you consent to be my butler/manservant/general go-fer?

All good eccentric maiden aunts need a lackey.

mormegil · 05-08-2006, 11:17 AM

I'm not sure I can give my blessing on Kitanna's betrothal to Eomer...She is my granddaughter after all and I MUST have a say in this. Eomer is more suitable to be married to the sea as a pirate than my granddaughter.

Can you believe he never once asked my permission?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 05-08-2006, 11:53 AM

I had no idea Kitanna was attached to you, Mormegil; but now that you mention it, it wouldn't make a bit of difference: we're an infatuated young couple who don't ask for permission.

(Or are we? Where is the lady in question to settle this?)

Ok, let's clarify this Hunter position. Does the Hunter get to kill only if attacked by wolves, or does s/he get to kill if lynched by the village too? I say ++Give Hunter a kill whichever death s/he suffers

I do hope you give your blessing Grandpa Mormegil.

Looking at these family trees, I can see the insanity of this game is going to top anything I've seen thus far.

I've already told you, Mum, I found a nice one myself- Azaelia, but we're not going to be popping out babies any time soon. She happens to like my adventurous side, and thinks it would be great to go traveling for a while and share in an adventure or two before settling down.

All right then. Fea's deceased father was your brother, Mom. Fea and Valier are my cousins.

And Sleepy Ranger is my uncle, my father's (Alca's) brother. Notice how it says Sleepy used to be a "wanderer", just as I am now? You see, it runs in the family.

And that would make Roa my aunt, and Caranlondien, Glirdan, and Lommy my cousins.

Can Gurthang be part of my family in some way? Please?

Well, Nogrod and I (and Firefoot so far) have decided that on Day 1 we are not going to vote for family members. I suspect this also means that as a family we will be prepared to bandwagon against those who vote for one of our clan.

After Day 1 everyone is fair game for suspicion and voting, but I rather like the idea of starting some family feuds on Day 1.

Diamond18 · 05-08-2006, 11:13 AM

Sorry to double post, but I just realized:

Quote:

Nogrod = Diamond

Eonwe=Lhunardawen ... Azaelia .... Firefoot

Does Eonwe have no family ties to another family? Maybe if he was the son of another couple as well as our son-in-law....

And just to double check -- does the Hunter not get to kill of s/he is lynched? ONLY if s/he is taken down by Wolves?

JennyHallu · 05-08-2006, 11:14 AM

Careful with matching everyone up, Di...we don't want to be too inbred...

I'll give Eonwe some time to decide that.

ANNOUNCEMENT: As of Wednesday 6pm EDT, all relational aggrandizements will be officially done.

Okay, snap decision. Hunter kills whether killed or lynched.

Not approved. However, Sleepy and Alca can be 2nd cousins.

Now you know how first cousins got hooked.....

Loki, you don't have to be in a family, so that's cool. But what you must do is pick an occupation, and whether you are an old man, middle aged man, young eligible, or a child.

EDIT: To Hookbill: There should be about four little 'RIP' gravestones beneath Lhunardawen and Eonwe. Put 2 Diamond and Nogrod. Put 4 under Alcarillo & Cailín. Put 6 under Spawn & Nilp. 1 under Celuien & SPM. Put 3 next to Feanor and Valier. Just 1 under Sleepy and Roa. Explanation: still births, infant mortality, child mortality, young men lost at sea. Take your pick for a good mix; these are your options.

Can do. It may take me a while. I've got a lot of work on at the moment, but I'll try and get it done as soon as possible.
Wish you'd told me all this before.

Don't 'kill' yourself about it; it's really only window dressing to get the werewolvish feel into this; that is, the fact that most of you are going to DIIIIIIIEEEEE!
