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 '?'.

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!

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.

Remove the question mark from behind my name. I have signed up for real.

Mnemosyne · 07-13-2009, 10:58 PM

I'm going through the Personal Info things, and am still missing four people's. Since I'm still waiting on confirmation from Eonwe and Fea I won't kill them yet, but...

I am not waiting on Lalaith or autume. Except for the narrational aids. *suddenly wishes there were an angry face that did not look so virulent as the one we have*

McCaber, I'll make the necessary edit. Thank you!

Clarifications that should have been made, like, a week ago:

1). "Tolkienian deaths" does indeed mean any sorts of deaths that have happened in canon, for very, very loose definitions of canon. BoLT does not have to be ruled out, even! I've got a really good list so far; just need to do some more organization.

2). "Your room" is supposed to be your room at home. Even if it's a fairly lame room. I said this was inspired by The Prisoner, remember?

3). This is taking place in an alternate universe in which the Barrow-Wight never introduced Werewolf to the 'Downs. You are all theoretically called here because you're members of this great Tolkien site. So no, you shouldn't talk about how you've played with people before. All that you, the character, know about them is how coherently they can argue on the topics of Balrogs and Wings and Such.

Oh, and also.

Any vegetarians among us?

How are the wolves supposed to manage that if they may only PM in the Nighttime? Decide one night in advance?
