Woot! Volo you're back!

A Little Green · 10-24-2010, 10:43 AM

Agh. I've changed my mind. Who cares about school, if it's not too late I think I'm joining.

Pitchwife · 10-24-2010, 12:14 PM

I've been eying this thread like a cat around a pot of cream since it came up and telling myself, "No, this time you'll be strong and resist", but it's no good, this looks just way too yummy; like Oscar Wilde said, the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it, isn't it?
In other words, I'm in, if you'll still have me. (Don't expect me to flood-post though, I'll seriously need to get some things done inbetween.)

Didn't he also say that at the time of your death you'll only regret those sins you never committed?

The same goes with me. I've had ridiculously pressing deadlines the last weeks and thus a lot of things have piled up meanwhile.

Heh, good to see you Volo - and Greenie - and Pitch... Hurray!

Boromir88 · 10-24-2010, 01:25 PM

YAY! And not a moment to spare!

Well actually a few moments, since roles will be sent out and Night 1 begin tomorrow (have a birthday dinner celebration since my entire family + soon to be brother-in-law just happen to have birthdays in October, and this will be a massive celebration right smack in the middle

). But if I didn't get up to at least 16 signed up, I was going to force myself to cut one of the cobblers, to stay at a 3 to 1, good to baddie ratio. Now that there are 16 (plus later on tonight, will have word from 2 others) all the roles will remain.

I'll change the orginal post now to make more clear the B-W and Bombadil roles.

Thinlómien · 10-25-2010, 06:50 AM

Aww now I'm sorry I'm not playing! Volo you must play again soon.

Glad to see you back here!

Everybody, have a nice game.
Innocents, win.

Boromir88 · 10-25-2010, 11:03 AM

Sign-ups closed. Roles being sent out momentarily. Everyone should get a PM, if you did not get one than PM me back.

Night 1 will officially start when I put up the game thread in 5 hours. But once you receive your roles, wolves go ahead and chatter. Seer send in your first dream whenever.

*rubs hands in anticipation to start....finally*

Edit: Barrow-wight role is staying the same as the original post as essentially a "role blocker." It chooses one person to stun each night, and if it's someone with a role, that person can't perform their nightly duties. There is NO chance the person stays stunned into the next Day.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-27-2010, 06:02 PM

When you watch Glirdan's death video, there is access on that webpage to another video depicting Sally's death.

That video is completely unrelated to this game and was created as a mock up when I was getting used to the animation website settings. Since she and I were chatting while I was practicing ("I got an A on my Hamlet paper!"), the example death was done as an homage to her. I thought she would enjoy the tragic chainsaw death.

Glirdan · 10-27-2010, 08:39 PM

So I think that has got to be the most entertaining way I've died

Bit over three and a half, Muffin, dear. DL is at five for me, and it's now almost nine. Just for clarifications and things. Stupid Daylight Savings!

Also, I'd just like to say some final words....

Dear village,

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Love,
Me

P.S. Also, I can STILL kill you with my brain.

Loslote · 11-06-2010, 12:53 AM

Yay! I'm dead!

Wait.

Wrong.

Oh noes! I'm dead!

Aganzir · 10-31-2010, 11:24 AM

I don't know about America & Australia, but Europe changed from daylight saving time back to standard time last night. This probably means the deadline is an hour earlier for us from now on... right?

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 10-31-2010, 04:47 PM

Well, just got home. Realise I missed most of the day (and another vote) but there were unforeseen circumstances I had to attend to. Sorry, but it couldn't be any other way.

I'm not certain what the rules are for missing voting but this weekend was pretty out of the ordinary, hence my lack of participation. It's hopefully out of the way now. Let me know, Boro.

I said those who miss two straight votes "may" get mod-fired. 'Tis by my disgression and after further running it passed the honorary co-mod, we both still want you. So, you're still in to play as long as you feel you can do so.
