Admin Thread for WW LXXV: It's Always Tea Time Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Inziladun · 04-05-2010, 10:15 AM

I think this is the highest number of players I've seen since Wilwa's last game.

Nogrod · 04-05-2010, 10:33 AM

Wilwa clearly hits the nerve...

So we only need Tweedledee to begin? Wow!

Haha, clearly I'm awesome.

Yeah, 1 more, but if no one shows up we can still start. Maybe start tomorrow. We'll see.

Anything goes as long as it's good.

I was about to text you earlier today that you should join but didn't do it because I wasn't sure if there was still room and had no chance to check. Glad you joined anyway.

Oh and I can't promise my performance as the Queen of Hearts will be true to the book because I haven't read any of them. My knowledge of Alice in Wonderland is based on the Disney film, Wikipedia, and Lost Girls.

My knowledge of the King of Hearts is equally dodgy. It's been probably 25 years since I last read the book.

Awww, thanks wilwa! I didn't actually seriously expect you to do that... but now I'll try to play to my best!

And I am wondering whether this game isn't breaking the record of fastest gathering players for a WW game ever...

No prob.

Haha, you should go check out my last game and see how fast that one filled. It was in like 8 hours, haha. I guess I just end up modding at times where everyone is available to play.

I have the feeling we'll start tomorrow. The DL will be 10 PM EST, cause the night DL will be better for me. So I'll get stuff ready and we can have the first Night start then. (in about 30ish hours for those in other time zones).

Thanks! Maybe your sentiment reached me through some mysterious thought-transference process, you know, like the Elves' trick. That's what I'd like to think anyway.

Just go with the "Off with their heads!" line, it seems fitting. That's the White Queen though, isn't it?

I will be hard for me to get into character too. Couldn't find my copy of Alice In Wonderland/Through The Looking-glass which is a shame because it was given to me many years ago by someone special, and it is a wonderful book. All I know about Humpty Dumtpy is that he's gotta have a mind not to fall off his high horses or he might shatter quite irreversibly.

Nogrod · 04-06-2010, 07:09 AM

Talking about the characters... do I get immunity from lynching as you surely can't lynch a grin without a cat?

1 retract per person, for the entire game. I can easily change the ranger thing, no problem.

But the player list does look so great...newbies plus those who haven't played since forever (coughAganzircough)...

doooooooooo iiiiiiiiitttttttttttt

First, we had to go shopping to pick Nienna up some Old Navy flippity floppities. And then, well, we shoe shopped. And looked at puppies. And ferrets. And then got Coolatas from Dunkin. And otherwise were fabulous.

And then I made Stick accompany me to a gallery opening. We looked most excellent.

And then, after running through the rain in very tall stiletto heels, and then eating, we had a fabulously awesome photo shoot of amazing.

And then realized that ZOMG Stick had forgotten to go to work!

And then her boss (for Lari and Ni, we're talking M, not L or P (we luvs P)) decided to be a heinous Sauron-emulator, and there was an awful lot of "Oh no you di'n't!" and "Oh my gahd, did she just?! Oh my gahd, I can't believe she said that!" and "What a [expletive deleted]!". Not because we don't respect authority, but because we don't respect HER.

So then we realized deadline had come and gone, and I was dead, and Stick apologizes.

The end.

Lottie's vote doesn't count, it was a minute late.

So...do I still have a retraction, or no?

wilwarin538 · 04-09-2010, 05:39 AM

Fea: I will forgive her, because it sounded like she had fun, but only if she promises that we go shoe shopping next time I go to Boston.

Lottie: Yes, cause it didn't count.

Technical question -

if we have 20 players, wouldn't it be fair to add a fourth wolf?

Yes, yes it would. That's what I had in my last game (along with cursed and cobbler) and it worked out fairly. I hadn't thought I'd get this many players, so I hadn't really considered it. haha

I will add another wolf.

So we're at 19 now right? K, well if 1 more person shows up that'll be cool, but either way we're good to go for tomorrow.

Mad Hatter - Glirdan
Cheshire Cat - Nogrod
Tweedledee
Tweedledum - wintywinty
The Caterpillar - Boro88
White Rabbit - Izzy
March Hare - Mira
The Dormouse - Sally
Humpty Dumpty - Skip
Queen of Hearts - Aganzir
King of Hearts - Inziladun
Knave of Hearts - Shasta
Duchess - Lottie
The Dodo - Nerwen
Jabberwocky - Legate
The Gryphon - Lommy
The Mock Turtle - Morsul
White Knight - Greenie
White Queen - Nienna
Red Queen - Fea

Morsul the Dark · 04-05-2010, 09:37 PM

When I did this play I was Hatter and also Tweedledum...

fun times. mortifying as tweedle though never got the poem right

One more for tea? come friends one more

Brinniel · 04-05-2010, 11:28 PM

Gah, if only this wasn't starting for another month...

Both the game and the player list look incredible. I must admit, I was watching sign-ups in between writing my term paper last night and it sounds like it's going to be so much fun. I'm just sad that I can't be a part of it. Perhaps one of these days I'll actually be able to join a game of yours, wilwa. But anyway, have fun all of you.

Loslote · 04-05-2010, 11:44 PM

*is parodying now, so don't jump on me when I post 'em*

Aww. *wishes for a Brinn-Tweedledee*

Aganzir · 04-06-2010, 05:34 AM

Are you absolutely sure you don't have time to play, Brinn?

Then a few questions. Are the votes retractable? And does the ranger really have to be able to protect herself? Personally I dislike such rangers (not the least because of all the trouble they've caused me

), but we also have quite a few special innocents anyway, so it might favour the innocent team a bit too much...
