This game will undoubtedly make my head hurt, but I can't say I'm not looking forward to it. We ww'ers seem to be a bunch of masochists.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-23-2011, 11:58 AM

You can take away the question mark.

I might have some hit or miss participation on a few days, because I've got a crazy few weeks, but I should be able to eke out some solid playing time.

Mithalwen · 01-23-2011, 12:16 PM

Oh Ang, you have to play now Fea is.. be quite like old times....

Rikae · 01-23-2011, 12:24 PM

Village is full, game thread will be up asap! If anyone else wants to sign up, you can do so up until roles are sent.

You will all (ordo or not) be getting your roles PM'd to you tonight or tomorrow, and if everyone is ok with it, Night 1 begins tomorrow (January 24) at 11pm EST or:

10pm January 24 US Central
4am January 25 GMT
6am January 25 GMT+2
3pm January 25 AEDT

And this makes me feel a bit guilty, but then I remember that I never complain about other mods' deadlines...

Mithalwen · 01-23-2011, 12:59 PM

Ah well my rubbish sleep patterns mean I am quite often awake then...but I shan't be trying to stay up to deadline..

Anguirel · 01-23-2011, 01:55 PM

It seems my decision has been made for me, I wish that happened more often...

...till soon!

Rikae · 01-23-2011, 02:12 PM

Oh, sorry Ang - I misunderstood your post!

Mithalwen · 01-23-2011, 02:41 PM

Don't apologise Rikae..

Il Lupo Fenriso has returned!

Nogrod · 01-23-2011, 02:52 PM

It's just absolutely fabulous to see you both Ang and Mith! "Long time, no see", surely is a fitting saying here.

Glirdan · 01-23-2011, 04:19 PM

Uh oh, it's going to be one of THOSE games.

Aganzir · 01-24-2011, 07:44 AM

I will have a very limited internet access from Thursday to Sunday but I'll do my best to post every now and then.

satansaloser2005 · 01-24-2011, 06:08 PM

I may die from how amazing this player list is.

That being said, I'll be around hardly at all (if at all) Days One and Two. After Friday, I should be able to hang out a bit more. So please don't kill me before then, yes?

Anguirel · 01-24-2011, 06:39 PM

May die?

Clearly a wolf/gifted/cobbler hint, or a bluff

Yeah, I'm kind of ready to start

wilwarin538 · 01-27-2011, 09:25 AM

Uhm, oops

. So I totally forgot that we had started, and Glirdy tried to call me and tell me we had but I missed the call and by the time I got his message it was too late. I'm so sorry! I have the morning off tomorrow, and the late evening available, so I should be able to participate then.

Nerwen · 01-28-2011, 11:26 PM

Apologies for missing the vote; didn't get back in time.

Nogrod · 01-29-2011, 11:45 AM

I do apologise my possibly abrasive conduct late on D2, and I hope no one was insulted. That was never my intention and never is.

Being too enthusiastic about a game, playing it trough the night and into the morning, and having a few glasses of wine too much is a bad mixture for me. I should have learned that by now (and I think I have done pretty well the last years), but it seems I can still lose the control of my moped...

Love you all and always will.

*puts on monk's robes on and goes to make penitence*

PS. I did edit two of my last posts as I was just too embarrassed to read them... I have not touched on any "substance" of them (there's pretty little of that there) but only removed some of the over-pathetic wailings repeated time after time, and which I'm just too ashamed to look at anymore... I did save them to my computer in case someone demands them to be re-installed or wishes to see them.

I know this is exceptional, but I was exceptionally stupid yesterday as well - and no game-related point have been removed.

With his apology I personally can say all is forgiven already.

Glirdan · 01-29-2011, 05:40 PM

Oh Noggins, we love you too.

Boromir88 · 01-29-2011, 07:57 PM

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing to forgive. Don't let it weigh you down

If it was in my power I wouldn't let it, but sadly it does it without me being able to do anything about it. I just feel like a complete moron.

But well, time heals and being able to forget turns things into more or less hilarious memories about major stupid moments in life one can smile at detachedly looking backwards.

Thinlómien · 01-30-2011, 12:14 PM

You know people, you're all seriously cute.

satansaloser2005 · 01-30-2011, 01:59 PM

Awwww, Nog, darling, you're too adorable. No harm done, precious. <3

Hey, exactly. I think this might be simply one of such things. And I don't know how about the others, but I think it's the case of things when you feel thousand times worse about it than the others, if they have even barely noticed it. So let's keep going

satansaloser2005 · 01-30-2011, 05:04 PM

Phantom would like everyone to know that he's been tied up (figuratively speaking, unfortunately

) and will not return until later this evening.

Anguirel · 01-31-2011, 04:07 AM

Yeah. So I actually did fall asleep and not wake up.

So much for the tactical nap, Mith, urkh, now to read the thread. Perhaps I'm a graduate of the second one by now!?

EDIT: nope, still alive. Funny old world innit?

Mithalwen · 01-31-2011, 04:54 AM

Yeah I was starting to worry about you when it got to the sleeping the clock round point... mentally tapping on door and offering tea....

You must have some cat DNA.

Blind Guardian · 01-31-2011, 02:18 PM

Sorry for not playing you guys. Verizon crapped out on us and we haven't had internet for at least two weeks. I am very sorry that I couldn't even come on line to tell you! This happened at the worst time didn't?

Very sorry, BG

Mithalwen · 01-31-2011, 02:25 PM

Glad to know that there wasn't a worse reason, From what Rikae posted on her narration it looks like you are able to join the deliberations of the dead if you are so inclined,

Yeah, I'm kind of reading through it, but the internet is still on and off for the next week or so, so I might not post much. Sorry about everything guys. I didn't do this deliberately: I really wanted to play.

Oh and my PM box is full and i can't download anything (another cause of the internet) so NO ONE PM ME! Thank you

Edit: PM box now empty.

Glirdan · 02-01-2011, 10:14 PM

Okay, just so no one thinks I've gone missing (or on hiatus

), I'm here but not posting to the game as I'm going to bed to be up relatively early again for work. I'll try and get caught up on all the shenanigans before I leave for work, but I can't promise anything. I will be back about seven hours before DL though, so no worries, I'll be back to vote.

Thinlómien · 02-02-2011, 02:37 PM

Hey folks,

Legate asked me to tell you that he hasn't been and can't be around because he is sick (I guess a rather bad case of flu, but at least not anything worse although it does sound quite nasty). Let's hope he gets better soon, poor one.

the phantom · 02-02-2011, 08:45 PM

I received a voicemail from Sally which said, (paraphrasing here) "Please inform everyone that I don't feel well and can't get on the Downs and wish to vote for Lottie, but of course I understand that Rikae probably won't accept this as a proper vote, but just pass it along please."

Boromir88 · 02-03-2011, 08:33 AM

And I feel very terrible about yesterday. I had a host of distractions and then mind block forgetting that it was not a Night-phase time anymore, with the 24-hr extension due to the BD crashing.

By the time I saw Fea's message...you voting? it was about 10 mins before DL. And I couldn't rush to get on a computer, read what the heck had been taking place and then make a vote.

So very sorry Rikae and Mac.

Rikae · 02-03-2011, 08:54 AM

No problem, Boro. Hope you don't mind that your vote didn't get posted - I got the PM at the exact moment I made the DL post.
Also, I'd like to apologize to everyone for the lack of narration yesterDay.

wilwarin538 · 02-03-2011, 09:11 AM

So, I wasn't able to come on....again. And looking ahead to what I have coming up it doesn't look like my participation will improve at all. I feel bad, because I really wanted to play this game, but there's not much I can do about it.

I think the fairest thing to do would be to withdraw, since me not playing (and yet being allowed to live), isn't really fair to those who are playing. I'm sorry guys.

And I'll probably have to take a break from WW until summer, since I will soon become even more busy.

Thanks for a great game Rikae, sorry I couldn't take part more!

Rikae · 02-03-2011, 07:22 PM

Wilwa and Legate have both dropped out today. I think I'll put them in a special "dead dead" category and reveal their roles, since there is no way for anyone to learn them otherwise.

I'm sorry, by the way, that I wasn't able to provide a more interesting game. It was an experiment, and some experiments fail. *sigh*

Nonsense. I love this game (and if I've been frustrated it's always been because of in-game reasons, not the mechanics

) even though it has kept me up way later than intended.

You can't do anything about people's time constraints.

Lommy apologises for not posting but she's been really busy today. She also tells me to write that Legate is feeling better already and will be able to join us in Mandos if it's not too late yet... (Not that having also the modfired to worry about will make our deaths any easier.

)

Rikae · 02-03-2011, 07:59 PM

Oh dear - I just messed something else up, then.
