For the most part this will be a standard game:

Roles
Three Wraiths (werewolves): Each night the wraiths seek for innocent victims. They're trying to bring down the number of villagers to equal their own numbers. Each night the wraiths send the name of a person they wish to kill to the mod and by morning the victim is toast.

Barliman Butterbur (Seer): The inn keeper hears and sees more than other players in the game. Each night the seer sends the name of the person he/she wishes to dream of to the mod. That person's role is revealed to the seer and he/she uses that information as he/she sees fit.

Strider (Ranger): Each night the Ranger picks someone to protect and sends that name to the mod. If that person is attacked by wraiths in the night they survive.

Villagers: The village is trying to root out the wraiths.

Two new roles:
Frodo (Ringbearer): The ringbearer is mostly an average villager. If he/she us attacked in the night he/she becomes a wraith as well. However, if the seer dreams of the ringbearer the seer has the choice to share this information (through the moddess) with the ranger if he/she feels the ringbearer may be in danger of becoming a wraith.

Bill Ferny (Informer): The informer is working with the wraiths, though the groups do not know the identity of the other. Each night the informer sends a name to the mod who in turn sends the name to the wraiths. The name is a suggestion for a kill, someone the informer thinks is a gifted or the ringbearer, or just too good a player to keep alive. If the seer dreams of the informer his/her role is revealed as an ordinary villager. The wraiths can chose to listen or ignore the informer's suggestion.

There may be retractable votes (one per day per player).
Votes should appear as such:

++Kitanna

Retracted votes should appear as such:

--Kitanna

In the event of a tie the first one to receive the most votes is lynched.
If a player neglects to vote for two days in a row they will be modfired.

Day and Night will be 24 hour periods staring around Midnight -6 GMT.

This game is now open to sign-ups

Oooo another game already!

(I'll have to see how my schedule is working out, so I won't sign up for certain yet. Please do put me down with a question mark though!)

~~Sally~~

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-17-2009, 10:13 PM

I'm in.

Lariren Shadow · 01-17-2009, 10:15 PM

Oh yes please!

~Lariren

Mirandir · 01-17-2009, 10:18 PM

After watching Fea and Lari playing the last game there's pretty much no way I could possibly say no.

Kitanna · 01-17-2009, 11:14 PM

I forgot to add you're free to pick occupations. Also since Bree was home to big people and hobbits you may choose which race you'd like to be. This is merely for narration purposes.

Lariren Shadow · 01-17-2009, 11:24 PM

Ok then, big person(not hobbit) and, I can't resist, tavern wench.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-17-2009, 11:24 PM

I shall be a Big Person, a gardener with a renowned belladonna plot.

Gollum the Great · 01-19-2009, 04:58 PM

Meneltarmacil · 01-19-2009, 06:16 PM

I'm in! I'm in!

I'll be a crazy ex-ranger who thinks the solution to any problem is "hit it with a sword," and is frequently drunk out of his mind.

Macalaure · 01-20-2009, 07:36 AM

For my character, now that this game takes place in Bree, I think I will use my last one again: make me Barney Broadbottle Jr., a smith who detests all music, and opera especially.

satansaloser2005 · 01-20-2009, 09:21 AM

I think I shall be one of those lovely people that uses their charm, cuteness, and generally adorable nature to obtain favors (and food) from other people in the village, who does nothing of her own but sit around and 'beg' (though I'm beyond begging, of course

) for her bread.

Or, as my roommate/duck says, I'm a female Pippin.

(Word that however you like, Mistress Moddess)

Kitanna · 01-20-2009, 01:20 PM

I'm so happy to see so much interest.

I still need a few occupations and races from people and while I wait for that I'm going to work on the opening narrations so we can get this game underway tomorrow.

Thinlómien · 01-20-2009, 01:57 PM

I'll be Miss Lommie Mugwort, a young Hobbit who just has to put her nose in other people's business. (So, another female Pippin, I guess.

)

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-20-2009, 02:26 PM

I am going to be a hobbit, too, to balance things a bit (though it still seems quite unbalanced). "Old Leggy", a silly old herring dealer (I have dealings with the Elves, reputedly. How else would one get sea-fish here).

satansaloser2005 · 01-20-2009, 09:24 PM

Wow! It's coming up fast, then!

*can't wait!*

Lariren Shadow · 01-20-2009, 11:48 PM

Because I'm wondering, are we getting our roles tomorrow then?

Kitanna · 01-21-2009, 12:11 AM

I'm going to send them now. If you don't receive a PM you're an ordo. Tomorrow will be Day 1. This is also a last chance for everyone to give their race and occupation. Anyone who doesn't leaves that decision up to me and I'll make sure they're awesome occupations.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 01-20-2009, 09:26 AM

I will be a Hobbit and my proffesion shal be: Brie Salesman

Durelin · 01-20-2009, 11:48 AM

May I play? And may I be the dark, mysterious, hooded and cloaked figure (yes, a big person)?

A Little Green · 01-20-2009, 12:43 PM

Okay, I'll be an ex-bear-tamer who is currently occupied with farming carrots. A big person, of course. (Can you imagine a hobbit taming bears?) My, this looks like a lovely game.

Gwathagor · 01-20-2009, 07:39 PM

When do you plan to start the game, Kitanna?

Gwathagor · 01-20-2009, 07:50 PM

Oh, tomorrow, I see. Can't play this time, sorry!

Kitanna · 01-21-2009, 08:19 PM

Just a reminder, Day 1 will be beginning in a few hours.

Thinlómien · 01-22-2009, 01:36 AM

Oh goodness, I thought the deadline was at least four hours later.

Well, it's 8am for us Finns, so I will be voting dreadfully every Day. And this also means I don't know how much I will be able to post toDay: I have school, and work, and I promised to see my friends because I was counting on being able to write to ww tomorrow morning when I have an hour off... so I'm afraid you'll get just a few points from me toDay. But after that I should have no problems (except, as said before, i will be voting really early because I'm not waking up earlier for ww, I'm not that mad...)

Well, what am I supposed to say: it's 7 AM for me. But anyway, I should have time to stay around for longer and post sufficiently during the Days, as my timetable is more or less free. Except for the thing that I won't be probably around for the whole Day 2, but I hope that won't be such a big problem, as I really should be active enough on the other Days.

Nerwen · 01-28-2009, 06:50 AM

I am going away with my family for the weekend and may have trouble getting Internet access. I will do my best, but don't be surprised if you hear little or nothing from me on Day 5.

Also, the power supply to the area goes out rather often– so if you don't hear from me at all, that's why.

Meneltarmacil · 01-29-2009, 06:06 AM

I'm just letting you all know that I'll be out of town on Saturday and thus will be unable to post. Sorry about that, but I'll be back by the time the next Day starts on Tuesday.
