I'm going to let Lalaith take liberties with my age, since I don't want to make an age insult of a lady. (If you really want, I'm completely fine with anything that has coherent speaking and up, meaning, from about five years. Don't worry about working age, I delibertly picked a job that a child could easily do).

Okay, here's my latest chart update for all the family connections, with status as child, adult, and elder labeled for those that I know for certain. (I assumed that Kath and Brinn were adults since they were already life partners.)

But if we do as I suggested earlier and into which morm indirectly agreed ("I'll be where I'm needed") then he should be my brother and also Volo's adult child. In that way we have two "grand families" approximately the same size in the vilage which I think is good.

About the starting date. Rikae and Mac wished the game would start on June 1st. And now as I look at my last days at school I'm bending to think likewise myself.

So if no one has anything against it we might make a deal that the game begins on June the 1st at 11PM GMT with a Night phase.

All those who have announced their willingness to be a wizard to me should make some considerations as to who to pick as their first scries. I will make a lottery on wizards about one or two days before the game starts so that the wizards can get ready and if they send me their lists of choises well beforehand I can then PM both them and their minions when the game begins so as to maximise the time on Night1.

Umm... No. I'm Noggie, Nerwen and Lalaith's grandfather, not father.

That would really work out to keeping the families all relative. Might make for a rather tight household (assuming that, being a 'traditional' village we live with our parents homes or with our spouses' parents, etc for economic and family reasons), but oh well it'll lead to a rather 'cabbin fever' game of WW.

Okay, then who's the missing link?

Is Brinn actually married? And if so, then she probably would be the "elder sister" of us three, which would remove the polarity two sisters vs. one brother unless I were let's say the youngest (well not that I care, it was their idea, not mine). But if she is not, then don't forget I am dating Sally... so I don't know from what time you label people as "adult", in any case don't forget I have a herd to care of; even a teenager can do that, however still I think then at least one of us, phantom or me, should be either at least 20, or both of us being at least around 18. Personally I think 18 or so would be the optimal age for me.

I guess I can't give a better answer than "why not?". Originally because Noggie was in the way of me being the father.

I think marrying one's cousin is legal even in Finland.

I suppose you can. Now you should just pick yourself an occupation and get some family members if you wish. Also it might be useful to skim through this thread, though complete rules will probably be posted somewhere before the game starts.

Okay, my new, improved, corrected, and waaaaaaaay too complicated family chart. (Volo, I left in the father position because I didn't feel like finagling another row into there.)

Well, we always could go raiding into another village and kidnap some husbands. Y'know, pillaging, the world's original Club Med.

... I think I'll take my pack of feral canines out and hunt down a mate instead.

I still have no clue what my age should be, but I'm stuck with either nine or some older age.

So, to make it easy, I've forgotten my age and no one seems to remember my birthday. Makes things easier to manage I guess. I just, am. There.
