WW XXIX Dor-en-Gaur admin thread

It's nice to have you around Eomer as it is sad to see Kitanna gone...

We're still in 17 confirmed players and that is very good I think. A few more would be fabulous but I'm ready to go with this line-up too. As I said earlier, Lommy has asked us to start after the weekend and if no one has anything against it the game will start on Sunday with a Night phase.

Couldn't we be roles related to distantly Eiliniel and Gorlim, like in the WerePenguin game with Elenwe's hangers-on? Or we could have a family tree; I missed the Dueling Wizards and would like to try the brother 'gainst brother aspect...

I have nothing against occupations as such and am quite ready to take them with in this game. The whole idea of the questionnaire was just to give the players also something else to chew on Day1. And yes, you might have relations to Eiliniel and Gorlim if you wished. It's a small village in Taur-nu-Fuin, so the occupations should be something around that scenery... What say you? I'm happy with occupations or without them.

I also agree with Ang that the family-tree stuff was hilarious in the Dueling Wizards and really enhanced the experience. But it's hard to fit in with the questionnaire-idea and might make this game a bit too complicated with all possible features around at the same time. So I would leave that idea to some other game - in which I would really like to join myself in as a player!

About the deadline: At least for now I think Firefoot's hope of a later (10PM GMT) one weighs heavier than Lommy's and Volo's point on the earlier one (9PM GMT). As - if I interpret it right - it's a question of having a possibility to join at the last hour while other times are more problematic against the inconvenience of having to vote an hour earlier but still considerably late.

I would like to hear if there are any other problems with the deadline? If it's generally thought better or if someone's chances to take part are greatly enhanced by it, I might try to heave the deadline up to 10.30-11 PM GMT but would not be too happy with that as I live myself in +2GMT.

I'll try to have the initial narration and thence the actual game-thread up tomorrow for you to see.

Meanwhile I would like to hear your views on the occupations / the deadline... and other things you wish to discuss before the game.

Deadline - I think I'm in the same situation as Firefoot - that is, I'll have to vote very early in the day if it's 9 GMT. 10 would be fine, though.

[Kath]

Either deadline is fine but just as a personal preference I'd go with 10. As for roles having them is fun but I can live without.

[Thinlómien]

I, too, am glad to see Lalwendë in this one, as I missed the last one she was in.

Agreed. No problem with that then.

[Volo]

10 GTM is fine.
