I'd like to play.
So, I suppose part of not breaking character means not talking about previous games, how people usually behave, how wolves behave, etc? That will be difficult.

Sorry, I don't understand this bit.

Basically try to remember how people died in Lord of the Rings and PM as many as you can think of (I'd give an example but....well, you know....I'm me and you know how accurate the movies are) to the moddess. Like a list of the interesting character demises in the books.

Or at least that's what I think she means. Feel free to correct me, oh duckess.

Hope that helps!

That's what I did, and apparently that was correct.

Nerwen · 07-11-2009, 07:48 PM

Okay, thanks.

Just a friendly reminder that once the game starts you lovelies should be in invisible mode. Don't forget!

Mnemosyne · 07-19-2009, 01:46 PM

All PMs are out.

It is currently Night One.

Wolves may PM; the Seer should send me a pick tonight.

Reminders

If you have any questions, take it to PM.

You should all be in invisible mode.

When Day begins, please remember to keep in mind that we are also working together as a team to make this a nice, readable, Werewolfian story. So anything that you think will make this read better, as long as it keeps in mind the primary goal of the game (i.e., playing it well for your side), is good.

Do not break character!

Nerwen · 07-19-2009, 11:38 PM

This is just to let you know that I probably won't be around for the first part of Day One. I am currently posting this from one of the three internet terminals in Bordertown, SA, and most likely won't have another chance until I'm back in Melbourne tomorrow evening.

I'll think up some in-game reason for my absence.

!!!
If any of my fellow newbies (looking at nobody especially...

) has problems finding the invisibility option, it's in your User CP, in the Control Panel on the left, under Edit Options.

Mnemosyne · 07-20-2009, 01:05 PM

By the skin of my teeth, the narration is up.

We are now in business.

You may post on the gamethread.

Good luck.

That depends - if understood Mnemie correctly, we're supposed to play ourselves as Downers; as such, it wouldn't be out of character for us to know and talk about Werewolf, would it?

PS. - Mnemie, did you miss Rikae's sign-up? She's not on the player list yet.
Just two short of 13! I hope this is going to start soon, waiting is becoming unbearable...

I think Eönwë said earlier to put him down with a '?'.

satansaloser2005 · 07-13-2009, 02:49 PM

Fea, it looks like we'll be starting later after all. You in?

*goes to poke a couple people on facebook*

Player list seems to be as follows:
Nessa
Zil
Shasta
Pitchwife
The McCobbler

Nog
Fea (maybe, now that it seems we'll be starting later?)
Tum
Steve (?)
Boro
Lal
Nerwen
Rikae

Assuming no one else has signed up by PM or something (and assuming that Fea is still interested) we have the desired 13 players! (12 without Steve, though I hope he can play.) I know someone else who is interested but hasn't decided if they can play yet, so it looks like we're getting close!

Nogrod · 07-13-2009, 02:51 PM

C'mon everybody! Show up!

Darn... just realised I haven't fulfilled the requirements... *dashes off to do that*

Quite right, sir!

Mnemosyne · 07-13-2009, 08:57 PM

I am currently thinking Night One is going to start on the 19th.

This way Fea can play, and we should be up to 13 if all of our ? players are in.

I will have more information for everyone shortly; I just wanted to give everyone a quick info update.

This should also, if any ?'s drop out, allow us to find replacements shortly, and lastly, for me to be able to do some advance narrations. I am seriously hoping that I will not fall into the moddess' sin of not getting narrations done on time.

Accordingly, I will need all Nighttime decisions in by 2 hours before the deadline.
