I thought the mass lynchings were rather like when Somerset declared in a Limited overs game against Worcestershire in 1979 .........
So that is why we ain't having them I do like the role of Mythomaniac to mix things up.

now that we brought up Mass-lynchings, why not just everyone commit suicide? then we must have gotten the werewolf for sure!

Allright, Lhuna, twice real time it is. Anybody with a problem with this can play in a different game, as this plan works best for the mod, and for international players.

Pending the offical "okay", I will be moderating the next game. Rules will be the same as TGWBS, only with 24 hour days and nights, and a strong discouragement from multiple lynchings.
Official sign up begins now. It ends Monday morning at 8:30 AM EST. Roles will then be randomly chosen and sent out. The game will begin at 9:30 AM on Tuesday morning. Please be prepared to actively participate. [Soon to be?] Moderator's Note: Saturday and Sunday of the coming week will have somewhat tweaked hours, due to computer access issues. Days will likely begin at noon instead of 9:30. Full rules for WW6 can be found by looking. Any questions, write a PM, label it "important" and send it to me. Any requests, write a PM, label it "less important" and send it to burrahobbit (just to annoy him). Any complaints, write a PM, label it "nobody cares" and don't bother sending.

Sign me up.
Let's see... I predict a villager win. Thanks to whoever started it, if WW IV was "A New Hope," and WW V certainly fits the bill for "The Werewolves Strike Back"... we'll see, oh yess, preciouss, we will... (That was random. ) |

Sign me up too.
Oh, I don't know if the villagers will find it so easy to win again. There was just too much unluck against the werewolves in IV that is not likely to repeat itself, not least was three rookies. In VI, it appeared that the werewolves had all the luck, but it seems that the seer gave herself away, from what I'm led to understand... Such an important gifted innocent! |

LMP is playing? Old poker face himself?
I know I said no more but with such company, please count me in. LMP - it will be a pleasure going up with/against/over/under/across you again. Fea- let's ban multiple lynchings outright. If the village cannot reach a majority, there will be no lynchings at all. What say you?

EST and not EDT right? Cuz tt's what got me into trouble the first time around. TGWBS posted GMT when he meant BST.
Can anyone confirm that EST is 12 hrs behind GMT +800 hrs? So say if it's Sun 1820 hrs here in SG, it would be Sun 0620 hrs in NY?

Hi!
My alter-ego's game does not count in my lynch rate, for, after, he is my alter-ego, and not me.
I would love to play in the next game. I think would go as a suspicious wolf-breeder. And, I would request before the game begins: Lynch me, please. Oh, brother.

By the way, on EST versus EDT, I confess to being completely lost. I think it's BST plus 6 hours for EST, and BST plus 5 hours for EDT. Right? Last edited by littlemanpoet; 07-10-2005 at 07:45 AM. |

A time zone converter-- http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
A map of the time zones-- http://www.travel.com.hk/region/timezone.htm ...If you need them... What I do for time zones though is go click on the clock in the lower-left-hand corner of my computer screen (since you're all at computers anyway when playing this game). Double clicking on that brings up the "Date and Time Properties" window, if yours is like mine there should be three tabs: "Date and Time", "Time Zone" and "Internet Time". Go to the "Time Zone" one, make sure the check box for "Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes" is clicked then just set it to the timezone you're looking for click "Apply" make a note of the time and change it back to your timezone....problem solved (unless, of course, you get the wrong timezone...) For Example: I'm in "Eastern Time (US & Canada)" so that's what my computer clock is set to...It says that it's now 10:16am...Following what I described I can temporarily set my clock to GMT (3:17pm)...or GMT+800 (10:18pm)...and back (10:18am)...all within two minutes... Incidently I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm talking down to you...y'know, explaining something you should have been able to see for yourselves...but I'm in a hurry and in a mildly bad mood because I've forgotten my glasses and so am starting to get a headache...I don't mean for it to sound that way and I really am sorry if it does....

Okay, that means London time is 5 hours advanced against North American Daylight Savings Time. In other words, 10:30 a.m. here (EDT) is 15:30 in London, or 3:30 p.m. Fair enough. Hope that helps all you EDTers.

I'm pretty sure that GMT changes to BST at the same time that EST changes to EDT, that is, people on the Eastern coast of the US are always 5 hours behind Britain.
Times will be displayed in EDT time anyway, seeing as that's where Fea live. Unless she decides to be weird. If anybody finds themself lost, just look at the time of the post in the top left and add 24 hours for the start of the next phase of the game. Hmmm, what character to cast over myself? I shall have to think this over... Anyway, I think MM was a nice little change, but I'd support reverting to Middle-Earth for the next game. |

If I ever took leave of my senses enough to have another shot at it, I would definitely have another Mythomane - especially if there were a larger number of participants... adds uncertainty.
I thought MM would go a lot closer when although there were 4 wolves the Seer knew of 2 of them. I think my time schedule favoured theolves - they managed to sway opinion and poor kitanna was doomedc before she could speak....

I'd also support a mythomane in the next game, it means it can turn in any direction.
I'd also prefer the Shirriffs to replace the Ranger and Hunter being in cahoots - it gives more people a special role if there are lots of players, and also gets rid of the extremely strong Hunter-Ranger knowing one another's minds advantage. |

The Mythomaniac will make a reappearance, again replacing the cursed villager.
Shirriffs will be back.

It has to be said that in MM the villagers gained virtually no benefit from the Hunter and Guardian knowing each other since by the time we had an active seer the Guardian was dead. I agree with shirriffs in a larger game but I think in a small one it is overkill. I wonder if we will ever have a were-hamster... lol

I haven't been following the last game at all so I think it would be a good idea to list down all the character types and rules before starting.

The rules and roles will be Post #1.
The narration of my own demise will be Post #2. You guys trying to kill each other will follow immediately. Recruits so far: Firefoot LMP Saurreg Nilp TGWBS Eomer Gil-Galad Unless people want me to start getting rid of roles, we need a bare minimum of two more players. Remember that sign up ends tomorrow morning at 8:30.

Fea, you might want a short period of rest and reflection... also meaning more people can join up. Just a thought.

I'll be in again too. Even if it means I get yelled at some more for being on the computer "too much" . I can't stop now, I think I'm addicted. I just hope I'm not a wolf again. It made things so much harder...

I'll be the useless good-for-nothing who scrapes out a living on the edge of the hamlet by the creek, living in a tumbledown shack that would be anybody else's out-house (and was once). If you want a short handy title for the position, it's "the bum".
An' I'll spit outta wudever side of me mouf I choose to, so dere's dat for ye. An' git offa my property! 'S not like I ha' dat much ta claim as me own, so git! Lowzy no good biddy bodies I swear dey'll lynch me for a werewolf da way dey acts. ptooey! |

I'll be a Dwarf. I live underground beneath the village where I regularly mine. Any land subsidence in the village in purely coincidental. I'm old, bearded, grumpy, hairy and filthy rich, and never seen without my trademark hammer.
You can summarise that with "Dwarf." |

Hmm... I'll be a wanderer: this'll be my home village because I was born there, but for not much other reason. I'm good for delivering letters to other villages and collecting news in the area. (True to form,) I have a horse which I ride on my wanderings (Pony Express, anyone?). Mostly I camp out, but I do have a nice woodsy sort of cabin for when the weather gets bad (or when there are werewolves about...).

This game seems to be dominated by males.

Erm, Fea . . .
I think you forgot to put my sister the Lhunatic in the list.
If she were here, she would say, "I would like to play the role of village Lhunatic."

Yes. Yesss.
I knew something's lacking in this game. A government official. That's what we need.
We'd lynch him everytime the currency free-falls.

Fea, I am too terribly hurt. The only way you can make me feel better is by counting me in as the village Lhunatic.
Oh, and yeah. Thank you, kuya. EDIT: Quote:

I'm so tempted but I've just got too much on at the moment to get involved.
And I know how werewolf can get scarily absorbing....during WW IV, my loved ones became somewhat concerned when I started looking at my watch saying "oh my goodness I've got to get home for the lynching." But by the next game, things should be quieter chez Lalaith and I'll be back....
