Admin Thread for WW LXI: Grimm Tales

[the phantom]

I am a collector of books, and keeper of the village library.

I also talk to myself, talk to various inanimate objects, eat my sandwiches in the same odd pattern every time, freeze for three seconds whenever someone shuts a door, and do all sorts of other strange things for apparently no reason.

EDIT: Oh, you are kidding me. I started to make this post before Nienna posted, got distracted by PMs, and now "village bookkeeper" has been claimed. Hoo boy.... what to do...

Fail. What do you suppose the village bookkeeper does?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Books and library are just elaborate metaphors, eh fantòm?

[the phantom]

Actually, you know, that's fine. It fits well with my insanity that I've set up a library when there already is one. As a matter of fact, I almost never let anyone use it, and refuse to ever sell any of my books. It remains a mystery as to how I am able to afford to eat.

I don't get along with the other book keeper, or "that blasted library wench" as I call her. And yet I'm always sneaking in and reading her books, and occasionally I try to walk off with a few.

[wilwarin538]

So rather then bookkeeper, you are a book-imprisonner??

*approves*

Nay! I liberate books! Other people don't appreciate them- don't read them properly! Books are sad with other people. Only I can make them feel right- listen to what they really have to say.

All of my books are happy books. They're my friends.

Oh I can think of how you eat

Now I promise the next time I post I will come up with a profession, I thought I had one earlier...

Awwww, that was going to be my occupation, but I knew you'd say that.

(Get it? )


Anyway, I'll think of one I swear. Just a tad busy this afternoon packing up some stuffs.

[wilwarin538]

Of course you knew. As I knew that you wanted it so I snatched it first

On my planet, book keeper is a bean counter ie accountant..... though some of use also keep books in the other sense(as domestic pets...).

In the interest of creating maximum confusion, I will be a bookmaker.

Anyone want to be the Village Problem Gambler?

[Boromir88]

I presume you'll call yourself 'Roger'?
( Couldn't resist )~Inziladun

Sure, but please pronounce it "Row-jair"

I'm quite excited about this new role by the way Boro, it's wonderful.~wilwa

Thank you. I was first thinking of maybe some "Giant" role, but didn't know how you would be able to fit it in, then I remembered the Robber Bridegroom and looked up the story.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'll be the gravedigger.

[wilwarin538]

So I'm off to work soon, I will be back in about 9 hours. That is when I will put up the game thread. The 12 hours following that will be when I send out the roles. Then Night 1 will start Monday. So keep an eye out.

Anyone who wants to give me a job/role should do that fairly soonish.

Anyone know whether Lommy is definitely playing or not?

[Thinlómien]

I'm playing, but I have given myself rules: if I want to play I have to 1) wake up earlier and play before my scheduled studing time and 2) only play in the evenings once I'm done with my studying, so don't expect me to be as loud as I tend to be! I'll be the local minstrel, if that sounds good.

Fantastic! My friend in NZ used to work on a programme to help problem gamblers which was funded by their Lottery.....

I read the narrative. That Prince chap sounds like a real winner. I mean, his name is Philip. That's the first step to awesomeness right there- naming your kid after Lord Phantom.

Careful there, dear. If your head gets any bigger we'll have to change the theme of the game from fairy tales to nursery rhymes, and you'll have a big fall.



Incidentally I'm letting you all know ahead of time that now that I'm home from college my internet's a bit skittish. So if I do disappear that's why, but hopefully it won't be a problem. Oh, and the deadline's 8am my time and I am so not a morning person, so I'll be voting early. Shutting up now!

[Nogrod]

I'm soo unhappy not being able to take part in this one, but my days are basically on a minute schedual from now on to the end of the month and I would have no way of even reading through the thread every Day - not to talk of posting.

But I hope you all will have fun as this looks like a very entertaining game indeed both on grounds of the line-up and the setting of it.

All the best to everyone involved - and go village go! (my natural instinct... unless I'm a baddie. )

Hahaha...no. I got Philip from the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty, because the Prince had no name in the original Grimm story.

But you go on and think what you like.

[the phantom]

Yeah, but the Prince in Sleeping Beauty was named after me, so same thing.

Err ever heard of Fella belong Mrs Queen?

[Nerwen]

*Nerwen crawls in to offer her usual apologies*

Sorry about missing the deadline yet again. Yes, I know this happens every Day One. I swear I don't do it on purpose... something always happens. It's a sort of... I don't know... karmic thing.
