Now that sounds really too interesting! Sign me in for sure.

And for that matter, I think Lommy also wanted to sign up (Greenie had said that as part of her own sign-up).

Ai, ai, I predict that this will not end well... but anyway, does this mean it works also for Mandos? I assume not, because it won't make much sense, so what are the rules for a tie of votes for Mandos?

Hey, it worked fine in the Orc-game... for the Orcs anyway.

First time he dies he returns after spending one Day in Mandos. Second time he dies, he goes to Mandos for good.

Yes. That's the point, in fact. We should have mentioned that.

While the living officially know nothing about the roles of the lynched/killed, the dead accumulate knowledge one by one and the two people who can return from the dead can provide some light for the living.

Ah, we missed that, I think. No double choices for the dead, but we haven't thought about the tie-breaker, yet. Will soon be added.

Woah, this sounds great! I may be slow this week because I'm starting a new semester, but go ahead and sign me up!

So I take it that the Dead Thread doesn't sleep (ie. they post both night and day)? And when the first person is lynched, she can just vote to reveal her role, right?

Does the seer see cobblers as ordos?

Glirdan · 01-18-2011, 02:40 PM

Just a forewarning to all that with the added adition to now being a part of my local community theatre group in my life (yes, the same one that I was a part of last year and had to leave Boston early for :P), my time may be cut back quite substantially. Everything is all up in the air so don't be surprised if I am not posting frequently.

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, we're performing Miss Saigon

Rikae · 01-18-2011, 06:39 PM

Yep, the dead vote night and day. I'm not sure whether to give the seer the power to see cobblers or not yet.

Kitanna · 01-18-2011, 06:49 PM

The DL for Nog's game was too pressing for me because it was right when I got out of work. Buuut....despite my better judgement I might have to play. Please put me down as a maybe. I'll look at my work schedule and let you know.

Well, you were looking for another advantage to give the innocents... but on the other hand, making it that simple to find the cobblers may make them too harmless.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I was among those who got lynched back then...

Aganzir · 01-18-2011, 07:23 AM

This sounds fabulous.

This is a silly question, but when a person dies, is she allowed to read the entire Dead Thread and not just from her death on?

Macalaure · 01-18-2011, 07:52 AM

You're allowed (and encouraged) to read the entire dead thread.

Rikae · 01-18-2011, 09:40 AM

Great to see everyone!

Do you think it's too difficult for the village? They do have the reincarnating ranger, as well as a way to access the dreams of a dead seer, but I'm not sure if that is enough to balance the large number of baddies & lack of knowledge. Perhaps I could add another advantage for the innocents.

Cobblers are important so that the dead thread can potentially be a den of cobblery (more so the better the village does, even) & wolf kills won't automatically be known innocents. If the innocents do badly, the influence of the dead will be more positive, too.

You can imagine, I love being able to force people to rely more heavily on interpreting posts...
