Yes, that was me indeed, it was my first game and I had no clue what I was doing, so I was an easy pawn to your wolfish schemes

. But in one of my last games I was the sneaky one with the wolfish schemes that lead to all three wolves surviving to the end, and no one suspected me in that one

. So I won't be falling for your tricks again any time soon Eomer

.

That's why I'm very excited about the player list for this games, some names I recognise as being very accomplished players, and other's I don't recognise but I know probably have many tricks up their sleeves. It's an interesting situation for me, I have played many of these games and yet I'm coming into this one practically as a newbie.

Having never played in a werebear game where I wasn't the werebear - I think I'll sign up.

I am the white bishop, knight, and rook of course (just to get that out of the way).

Oh dear. Is anyone else going to sign up? What about those "maybes"?

Kath · 02-15-2009, 01:49 PM

Could you put me down as a maybe until a little later today or tomorrow when I've had a chance to read the rules! I want to play I just need to check it all makes sense.

I actually have a couple questions about the gifted wolves. I can understand how the Were-Seer would work, but the Were-Ranger and Were-Hunter confused me a bit, how exactly would that work?

It would be fun to have you in the game Kath!

Eönwë · 02-15-2009, 04:20 PM

I'm definitely in if the game starts this week.

Beregond · 02-15-2009, 05:38 PM

Sorry, I'm officially out of this game - too many other things I need to be doing. I hope everyone has fun!

The evil Ranger and Hunter work exactly the same as the Gifted Ranger and Hunter, except that the evil Hunter will take the person they are hunting down with them when they die, regardless of alignment.

Sorry, just poking my nose in here out of curiosity...I'm still confused about the evil Hunter and Ranger.
Do the werecreatures know each other's identities? In which case, how would an evil Hunter ever take anything but an innocent with them?
And the evil Ranger...against what would he be protecting his fellows? The werebear?
