Knowing how crazy my RL is right now, I really feel that I should drop out, because either I will be extremely quiet here or I will screw up RL. But looking at all you wonderful people and knowing that it's never going to be the right time, RL is always busy, etc, I don't want to drop out just yet. I may or may not play depending on how things develop by the time we start the game.

Nogrod · 06-20-2014, 04:02 PM

Let it be House Swann for me to continue spreading the houses...

Volo · 06-22-2014, 08:38 AM

Oh gods, I've traveled all my life and still there are shores foreign and strange to me, what cruel joke you play in my never-ending odyssey. So though Colin Mute, a sailor, having lost his one eyed captain.

Aganzir · 06-22-2014, 08:52 AM

So. Is everyone fine with starting Night 1 on Monday the 23rd at 9:00 pm BST, ie. tomorrow?

Yes there are! Welcome!

The quiz above gave me House Stark, but it'd be nice to have a vague enough role that I could get away with not remembering all that much about the books but still have fun in the IC segments. (I love IC segments, okay.)

Maybe I could be a crazy Northern hermit or something like that.

Choosing a house doesn't mean you have to be a member of the house; I take it to mean you're a bannerman or live in the house's general area of influence. Therefore no harm done even if you don't remember much about books.

Aww real life is always crazy! Would love you to stay! Besides, a village with a bear dies faster than the average wolfy village.

Volo ahoy! So glad to have you!

Aanyhow. Here's the final role description:

The Bear and the Maiden Fair - lovers. Only win if both survive till the end (regardless of whether it's the Lions or the Inn who win the rest of the game). Can communicate at night. The Bear, being a Werebear, kills one person a night as long as the the Maiden is alive. If she dies, the Bear then chooses to help the side that did not kill her (that is, becomes effectively an ordo if she's night killed, or cobbler if she's lynched). NB: don't read too much into the choice of gender pronouns.

True dat.

I'm in, but I will be quiet at times (or maybe all the time), and I will be gone for four days this weekend. I highly doubt I will have internet access there, so I will just have to miss 2-3 phases. Assuming I'm alive.

EDIT: PS: DL was about 2 and a half hours ago, right?

An hour and a half from your post, and two hours ago from now - remember it's summer time!

Arggh. Curse DST!

(But that explains why I see you guys up so late...

)

satansaloser2005 · 06-22-2014, 06:22 PM

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, I really shouldn't join a game whose DL is in the middle of my work day....

Expect little posting anywhere near DL (and most of those from my phone), but I'm in.

I know/care not of things related to GoT, so I'll just be a random peasant. Unless there's a House Cupcake or something.

Coppermirror · 06-22-2014, 05:42 PM

YESSS, we have the numbers for the Bear and Maiden.

I will continue to be pleased by this even if I get eaten by the Bear.

Ah, I see. Good to know. I think I'll still stick with being a hermit who lives in the North, though, since it's a super flexible role. I will have wandered off from one of the Northern houses, but which one it was has been lost in the mists of time.

Hey! If the game starts tonight, I'd like to play. I'll be a disowned Lannister Imp if you don't mind. No spoilers please but if the Imp dies I won't bother watching GoT any longer.

Encaitare · 06-23-2014, 10:15 AM

I've sent BW a message regarding getting Jonathan's account cleared. I'm trying to decide what to do in the event that he does not get posting privileges in time, as I mostly signed up to introduce him to the game.

Yes it does! Welcome! However, quoting the rules post, "You are encouraged to pick yourself a House to serve, with the exception of Houses Lannister and Targaryen who are not welcome at the Inn openly", so please choose another house to avoid confusion if you don't mind.

I do hope you'll play in any case! Missing night 1 doesn't really matter all that much because even if he gets a special role (they'll be chosen randomly), there's nothing that can't be taken care of by facebook or email. I'm hopeful, although I must admit you're not the only people annoyed at how inane account creation seems these days. (Those who haven't followed the conversation on the facebook Barrow-Downs group, the mods removed automatic membership because of the recent influx of spammers, and sometimes you have to wait quite long before they approve you, and even so it doesn't necessarily work - this is like Jon's third attempt at joining the Downs.)

I'm also very sad to see me go, but I will peek over Lommy's shoulder (at first literally, later figuratively) and also, I hope this game will be awesome enough so that the people who are playing in this one will consider also playing in one right after that! (In other words: if you get lynched early, take it as incentive that you should play more to get more total playing time, if you survive long, play more in order to get more of the good experience

)

Well, if he's >officially< disowned...

Ah lazy me, joining was a spur of a moment thing, didn't catch that. I guess I'll be an ex-Lannister Imp then as Legate suggests. Who never pays his debts.

And let me also second Agan, no GoT spoilers please!

Coppermirror · 06-25-2014, 05:07 PM

Sorry about not voting on Day 1. My internet connection went down not long after my last post in the game thread. (It's working again now, obviously. I hope it won't make a habit of this sort of timing.)

I'm terribly sorry for missing the Day, darlings. Work was hectic and I didn't have the time to check the forum. Fortunately I'll be around for most if not all of the weekend, so I'll do my best to catch up then.

Galadriel55 · 06-28-2014, 09:37 AM

I'm gonna miss the next couple Days, so be good village, get a few more baddies in the meantime. Or I'll come back and haunt you!

Gil-Galad · 07-01-2014, 12:36 AM

Read my death, and this was all I could think of as a reaction

Boromir88 · 07-01-2014, 05:26 PM

So this one time the DL is just really terrible for me since I'm on my feet all day and work at least 2 hours past the DL...but I really love this concept! I'll try not to miss any more

Rikae · 07-01-2014, 06:37 PM

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to withdraw from the game. I just don't have the time and it isn't fair to everyone else. Good luck!

Aww I'm sorry to hear that. It was lovely to have you play! ♥

Yes Boro, do try!

All these gifs and images make me laugh so much. Dead players have never been so funny.

satansaloser2005 · 07-02-2014, 06:50 AM

I maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay still have to drop out as well, but I won't know until later in the day. In any case, I'll be available to post this evening and will let the mods know then. With luck, things will be fine and I'll be extremely limited over the weekend but able to participate somewhat.

Sorry again, all. Things at work have just been far busier and more stressful than expected, and adding more stress and business is making everything go asplode.

*goes back to sleep*

Oh no! I hope you'll be able to stay! But if not then no can do.

Coppermirror · 07-01-2014, 11:42 PM

Alas, I could not find a suitable ASOIAF image. This shall have to do. And I'm hungry.

This is late, but not as late as the room service at that Inn!
