Oh, specialties! Can I be the patron of town criers across the world? That way, I can cause them to inconspicuously respawn when one dies?

I'm not feeling creative enough to come up with an occupation. I throw myself at the mercy of Nog.

I say yes to double-kills if the village is large enough to handle it.

I vote yes to double-kills. Also, since Agan is a spirit of fire, I trust it won't be too much trouble to make me a spirit of water?

Well I don't want to be too obvious by just being the queen of all butterflies, haha, so.....I'll go with caring for all of the small, winged creatures that enjoy flowery areas (various little birds, dragonflies, ladybugs, etc). And flowers = Vána.

So, in short: belongs to Vána, cares for all the garden dwelling, winged creatures.

I'm good with any start date, and vote in favour of double kills. Can't wait to start!

As long as you aren't planning to cause me any trouble with that water.

And Nog, I want to be called Firebeck!

Welcome Blind Guardian!

But you should really consider your explicit loyalties. Being known to follow Melkor will most probably get you lynched pretty soon, well on the first occasion there are no alternatives... like D1.

It's your choice to be sure.



Listening to the mood it looks like we should introduce double-kills; I'd say they come into the play with 21 or more players (if everyone now enlisted, also as "a maybe", will play we have exactly 21). But we'll see whether all the questionmarks will play - or whether some more join the game in the next few days...

Well, if my occupation didn't make it obvious, I am also a follower of Melkor.

I'm sorry for missing the vote today, there was an unexpected emergency because of bad weather. Thankfully everyone's ok, but I just got home now.

Just thought of reminding you about basically a self-evident thing: the narrations have no clues to any player's roles in what they say or do there. They serve only narrational purposes and even if they might have in them some characteristics of people and their RL- / BD-relations, there are no hints to the player's roles.

The only exceptions are those where "the truth of the role" is revealed in the tally (like in the last one Kit being the Hunter indeed - and her reason to withdraw rather than hang around a few Days).


Hi Eonwë! I hope you do enjoy following this. We'll meet hopefully in another game...

Thumbs up

Although the dead don't talk, this one is a little rebellious -

I really enjoyed the game, it was a good one. Thanks everyone and keep it up! Good luck village.

PS. Love watching it all with a more enlightened perspective too.

I'm afraid that Cailin won't be able to post today as our house currently has no internet access.

I can get on the Downs at work, though email and fb are blocked.
