The Game Thread looks very promising! You're making this a hard one for the wolves, aren't you?

I think this could do with some explanation. Exactly how will it affect the Nightly kills if, say, one wolf of four is Guarded? Does it mean there will be only one kill that Night, same as if there were only three wolves left? And what about Nightly PMing?

Great that you put Form in the narration! That way his spirit will be with us, even though he can't play (sadly).
And I'm all for being in character as much as possible! I love that about the early games, as far as I've read 'em.

Do I need to mention that I'm also beginning to get very curious about those secret/modified roles?

Basically, the wolf is has to act as an ordo for the Night (The seer will still see him/her as a wolf). I can't say anything else for certain yet, because it depends on the number of people playing. And I can't tell you too much anyway.

Eönwë · 08-28-2009, 04:02 PM

Anyone who wishes to play who has not signed up must sign up within the next 36 hours.

Now don't say I didn't warn you...

wilwarin538 · 08-28-2009, 07:18 PM

Uhm, Eonwe, your Game Thread went up twice, just incase you hadn't seen....

Getting very very excited for this! Gonna be fun, love the secret roles, makes it so crazy!!!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 08-29-2009, 05:36 AM

With the understanding that I shall not be responsible for headaches and frustrations, I'm in.

Village fool already taken?

Shastanis Althreduin · 08-29-2009, 11:59 AM

May I sneak in and sign up? As the village apothecary?

Boromir88 · 08-29-2009, 01:04 PM

As an advanced warning Monday and Tuesday I won't be here for long, which means I'll be pretty much inactive.

Eönwë · 08-30-2009, 04:10 AM

Sign ups are now closed.

Roles will be sent out before the beginning of Night 1 (22:00 GMT) today.

Eönwë · 08-30-2009, 05:56 AM

Remember to go invisible

Eönwë · 08-30-2009, 01:58 PM

All roles have been sent out. If you have any trouble with anything, PM me.

Night 1 will start in about 2 hours.

Eönwë · 08-30-2009, 04:01 PM

It has begun.

Aganzir · 08-31-2009, 04:44 AM

Sorry but I don't think I have time to play.

alonariel · 08-31-2009, 10:43 AM

Just wanted to let you know I won't be around for the first several hours of Day 1 much.

Pitchwife · 08-31-2009, 10:58 AM

Same here, due to the necessary evils of sleep and work, but I'll be around from about 1300 GMT to DL.

satansaloser2005 · 08-31-2009, 02:10 PM

Unexpected recent circumstances dictate that I miss most of the Day. (Aka rubbish life is complicated.) I'll be around, but not much. Sorry.

Eönwë · 08-31-2009, 04:10 PM

Day 1 hath begun.

Eönwë · 08-31-2009, 04:54 PM

Boro- Nogrod signed up for the game by PM.

Haha thanks, I was more or less just looking for something else to say besides offering you a pig.

Brinniel · 09-01-2009, 01:48 AM

Just so everyone knows, while I will be able to be around, my participation will be limited this week, specifically the first two Days. I'm packing up to fly cross country on the 2nd and then I'll be in the process of moving into an apartment. Once I arrive, I think my time will be better, in between moving the furniture...though I probably still won't have time for those long analyses that take me hours to write. I feel quite awful about my participation level these past few games, so I'll definitely try to do better this time around. This past month I've been moving one place to another and it's been quite hellish, so I'll be glad to be done with it.

wilwarin538 · 09-01-2009, 06:03 AM

said it on the game thread, but suppose I should here as well. I'm only going to be around for the next hour, and then only for the hour before DL. Unexpected work stuff.

Nienna · 09-01-2009, 08:52 AM

Alona would like me to let you all know that her laptop is being repaired so she won't be able to post until toMorrow. She apologizes.

Pitchwife · 09-01-2009, 11:56 AM

Is anybody else having problems with the forum server? I've been getting repeated time-out messages for about an hour now whenever I'm refreshing or going from one page of the thread to another. No problem with other websites. If I vanish from the game without a trace between now and DL, this will be the reason. Just so you won't hold it against me.

Yes, it does that to me too, but (at least this far) only for relatively short periods of time.

satansaloser2005 · 09-01-2009, 01:43 PM

Hey Steve! Just in case you didn't see it on the game thread....

If there's a ranger save will you let us know that specifically? Or will you just narrate that there was only one death (or none) and leave us to guess?

Eönwë · 09-01-2009, 02:25 PM

I will mention that there was a save.

Thanks for clarifying!

Pitchwife · 09-03-2009, 03:08 AM

Just caught up, and have to be off to work now, but I'll be back a couple of hours before deadline.

Nogrod · 09-03-2009, 09:04 AM

Just FYI, I'm still alive and kicking but it will take a few hours before I can post anything. Sorry.

But then I should be able to hang around...

Eönwë · 09-03-2009, 09:35 AM

Just a few notes that I forgot to write in the rules:

-If a ranger is Night Guarded then xe cannot save anyone.

-If Night Guarded, the hunter can still select a target for the next Day, but it will be of no use in the Night, as xe will not be attacked.

wilwarin538 · 09-03-2009, 09:38 AM

Can the Ranger protect himself???

And what if a wolf is guarded by the village, the Hunter chooses that wolf, and then the Hunter dies? Does that wolf still go down with the Hunter or no?

No and no.

Hmm.... ok, let me update the rules (more detail- on other stuff too).

edit: wait, I did say the first one in the rules.

Eönwë · 09-03-2009, 06:32 PM

Just a note: The narrations do not give any clues about roles.

And I'm sorry about making you wait so long. I had to go urgently and only came back about 45 minutes ago (to write the narration).

satansaloser2005 · 09-03-2009, 08:21 PM

Steve, that narration....was made of awesome with a side of winsauce.

Eönwë · 09-04-2009, 11:53 AM

Thank you, Sally.

I'm glad you liked it.

Eönwë · 09-05-2009, 05:13 AM

If alonariel does not vote toDay, she will be modfired. As stated in the rules, this means that the wolves will only get one kill toNight. Logically, this would mean that whether the person who is guarded toNight is a wolf or not, they will still get their kill (there will be a minimum of 2-3 left).

satansaloser2005 · 09-05-2009, 04:08 PM

Sorry again for not being around toward the end of the Day. Computer issues, so I didn't get to catch up much either. Off to do that now, I think.

Eönwë · 09-05-2009, 04:22 PM

A question: How gory am I allowed to make the narrations?
