So this game is too interesting to let go.

*signs up*

Depending on how long the game goes there may be some days that I have dodgy participation but I will let everyone know way in advance.

This game looks far too lovely for me to miss it. Count me in, please. And I'm a female in case you need that information.

Wonderful! So now:

Nerwen
Eomer
Lommy ????????
Aganzir - jailor, arena and lions included
Sally
McCaber
Izzy
Mira
Gaurcrist - blacksmith
Shasta - fletcher
Gwath the Tentative
Boro88
Kath
Inziladun
Fea
Nienna
Greenie

And Fea, the way things are going it looks like I should be able to get started monday (maybe even as early as tomorrow if I can get a few more), so I'm sure they'll have lynched you by the 30th.

So a couple more people, and a definite answer from Lommy and Gwath, and I will be ready to go. This is quite exciting!

Oh and jobs/roles from more people would be lovely, though it is not required.

Good. I expect we ought to shake on this, just to formalize the agreement.

Consider it shaken.

Oh, and convince the phantom to play (since he'd be a lovely Fair Maiden ) and I will give you a glorious death scene.

Lari says to tell you she's also playing. Simply can't resist the temptation.

I am male by the way.

If there is worry about balance, maybe take out Hansel&Gretel or one of the questionable good roles, and add in some baddies, who aren't wolves, but can counter some of the extra good roles.

I do agree with wilwa about the lovers and such, that depending upon chance and luck one whether lovers find eachother, decide to look out for their own interests...etc it is not as unbalanced as it first appears.

But an extra bad role could be the robber bridegroom? If I recall this tale correctly, he was a suitor who convinced the miller to let him marry the daughter, and he had plans to take her back to the den and chop her into horrible pieces.

The robber bridegroom would not be a wolf, but he can perhaps send in a choice everyday, and if he finds Cinderalla/The princess, they die because he has captured the lovely ladies and hacked them to pieces. And if Cinderella and the Princess have already been united with their lovers, either the robber bridegroom can not kill them, and Prince Charming/the Frog-Prince will find out.

Hmm...maybe the robber bridegroom could act as the cobbler, he wants the wolves to win, but also has the power to steal Cinderalla/The princess and kill them, if he guesses correctly?

It seems mine and Fea's feminine whiles were able to convince the phantom to play.

So it's definitely still open for more! But I'm thinking that I'll be able to start Monday, meaning Night 1 will be Monday and Day 1 one will be Tuesday. Hopefully that's good for everyone. Expect the Game thread to show up much later tomorrow, though no posting on it of course until 9am EST Tuesday.

So anyone else wanting to play is welcome to sign up. Everyone's oppinions on the roles are welcomed. And roles/jobs from everyone is also appreciated.

So here are a few changes I've made: Cinderella will no longer receive Prince Charmings choices. Prince Charming will still perish if he chooses the Old Witch but will not loose a guess if he guesses the Ugly Stepsister. Aswell the Princess will no longer lose a guess if she guesses the Big Bad Wolf. Otherwise, nothing has changed. Also, everyone should keep in mind that I am the Moddess Goddess and have all the power, and found inspiration from Sally's game...so conclude from that what you will.
