Great! Welcome on board! I never saw you in action, so I hope I may this time.

Rune, what about you? Just passing by, or are you pondering joining in too? (so that you may contribute to Brinniel's death once more?)

Put me down as a question mark. I think I might sit this one out, but you never know.

Well, let's see if I can change that...

And if not...well, I guess I'll just have to set some sort of record for all my early deaths, won't I?

Fine. If that is so, you should join then. In fact, I dare you to. I am more than ready to battle it out with you.

Anyways, I'm really pumped for this game. I even just had a much needed refresher on Chapter 21 of The Silmarillion. WW is always a perfect excuse to sit down for a good read.

Werewolf seems like a nice way to reintroduce oneself to the barrows, and to Tolkien.

8 PM GMT is 4 AM my time so you need to get used to my early votes. (Again.)

As for roleplaying - I guess females will have to remain so? In that case, it will be a good exercise in roleplaying to come up with a good reason for a female to suddenly find herself among the Outlaws. Hmm.

Well, even a woman can end among the Outlaws. If you choose a role however, you don't necessarily have to remain as female if you want to...

Since we already started about this topic, unless all the female players (of which there are, thus far, majority) decide to be presented as male Outlaws in this game, it is not impossible that Beleg or Túrin, though they are male, cannot cover in female disguise... (a clever trick to hide yourself, wouldn't it be?)

Um, well, unfortunately, if I DO decide to join, this might be the only chance I get before I'm swamped with schoolwork.

I opt to stay stubbornly female. It makes for greater confusion, this gender issue, which is always fun in a Werewolf game.

Besides, Beleg and Túrin are just roles assigned, aren't they, for the sake of storytelling? So the players shouldn't let gender affect their decision-making in the game so far as these roles are concerned, just like we don't single out males ALONE as werewolves since there are not much known female werewolves in literature.

Of course they are. I just wanted to point that out in case someone somehow came to the conclusion that their players have to be male.

And, does it mean I should remove the question mark after your name?
