In that case I'll be a delegate from nearby Fortress You know, from somewhere in Mirkwood...

Hey... now it striked me... I'll be simply a Legate of Amon Lanc!

At the risk of sounding like a complete moron... I am not extensively familiar with all of Mirkwood.. are we just coming up with names for these villages which we are delegates of? Or are there actually that many villages in the area?

I think the wolves (and what-not) can handle one Day-phase without discussing. They will have all the time after that to discuss their strategies. And as they will be notified of their roles anyhow, which I take for granted, they know to avoid each other during the game or to play more daringly anyhow.

Even though some of the villages sound possible many of them seem to be more caught from the thin air (or from Monty Python) more to amuse... So do not stress with it but come up with something, either realistic or just fun.

As far as I am aware, there are no villages within the area actually specifically identified within Tolkien's works, so it's pretty much up to you. As you can see, most of the delegates so far identified are not exactly canonical.

OK, we'll go with a Day 1 start at 11.30pm BST today. Roles will be sent out shortly before the game starts. Since not everyone will have an opportunity to discover their role before the game starts, there will be no contact permitted between the players who are allowed to communicate by Night until Day 1 has finished and Night 1 has begun.

To save me from excessive PM'ing, if you do not receive a PM telling you that you have a hidden role, you may assume that you do not have one.

Oh and please remember to switch to Invisible Mode (using the Options screen on your User CP).

Happy werewolfing!

Edit: 11.30pm BST is just over 5 hours from the time of this post (it's 6.20pm BST as I make this edit)

And I shall be the naughty delegate from the Castle Anthrax.



EDIT: or the village with the unlikely name of "Castle Anthrax".

To be safe, check from here.

Fill in 11.30PM (23.30)

Then GMT+1

And add your timezone...

Just remember the Daylight savings...
(There is quite a substantial updating for them at the bottom of the page "Don't know your timezone?")

Yup, about two hours (precisely 15 mins from now it will be precisely two hours).

And as SpM said, don't forget everyone to go into invisible mode...

The hidden roles are now being sent, so no more discussion in this thread please, save for administrative matters.
