Lord of the Rings WW : The journey begins! [Recruitment now closed]

[Dallas-Dakota]

Lord of the Rings 1: The Journey Begins

One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness, bind them.

The shadow grows and casts darkness over the land. The presence of the One Ring has been discovered and now it is up to an unlikely hobbit to save Middle Earth. Though he is not alone, many fearsome foes and dangerous obstacles lie in his path. Among these are the dreaded Ringwraiths, former kings of men twisted by Sauron’s power. And it is at the Prancing Pony Inn they await, just as the small group of hobbits arrive.

Welcome to the Lord of the Rings 1: The Journey Begins, a WW game based off of Tolkien’s beloved and influential trilogy. Will Frodo and the ring manage to escape the closing clutches of the Ringwraiths or will the quest to save Middle Earth end almost as soon as it began?

Narrator: Dallas-Dakota
Co-Narrators: Andre Fairchilde and Reinholdt

"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
-Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.

*panics*

[Uncle Festy]

Two words:
Eye.

[Sedracus]

The fact that I joined GITP for this game should say it all. :mitd:

[D_Lord]

Find the Roles, Sauron will want them.(In other words in.)

[UncleWolf]

When does it start?

[Reinholdt]

When does it start?
December 22nd or 23rd.

[Bayar]

[Zar Peter]

[Vampiric]

In, with hobbitses!

[Fawkes]

[Dirk Kris]

[Supagoof]

Hmmm. Riskies, no knowing what roles there be. Buts me sees the way yess.

We musts keeps me preciousess from those filthy hobbitsess.

Ins we are. :smallamused:

[Emperor Demonking]

Sign me up.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Sign me up.

....

Damn....

I will need to re-check the rules when they come against breakage and typo's thrice now.........

Nah, just kidding, glad to have you in!


I'll be in, depending on start date.


December 22nd or 23rd.

There you go:smallwink:

[UncleWolf]

Well, I won't be able to play. Good luck you guys.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Well, I won't be able to play. Good luck you guys.
But Mr. Frodo....in so many stories, the hero's had so many chances to turn back.
You know why they didn't? Because they held on to something.

What do we hang onto Sam?

That there's still some good in this world, and that it's worth fighting for!

P.S. Sad to see you withdraw, have fun with whatever you'l be doing then.

[Heroic]

Dammit.. I won't be able to play

[banjo1985]

Signing up, and forewarning of my possible lack of activity.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Well I'm planning a lack of auto-lynches, maybe if you don't votes for three days orso.... And that's without notice:smallwink:

[Emperor Demonking]

I thought you said soon. Its been three days.

[Shadowcaller]

I thought you said soon. Its been three days.

But... the game have not started yet.
D-D was talking about of using three days until the autolyncar gets you instead of two days.

He seems to be able to control it better then me...

[Dallas-Dakota]

But... the game have not started yet.
D-D was talking about of using three days until the autolyncar gets you instead of two days.

He seems to be able to control it better then me...
Indeed.

But I think EDK ment the roles.
To which I have to say.
I spent almost my entire saturday on the dutch gitp meetup.
And I also have other stuff to do, both gitp and RL, but I'l try to work on them today. Though I will first pass them onto judgement of my co-narrators for discussion and such before posting them in the thread.

[Reinholdt]

I thought you said soon. Its been three days.
Plus I'm the one who wrote soon in there. If you must blame someone, look at me. Poor DD has more weeks of exams than I thought possible. We'll get them up before the game starts, don't worry.

[Fin]

In, with the One... Cake!

You know ya'll thought i was gonna say ring...

[Supagoof]

In, with the One... Cake!

You know ya'll thought i was gonna say ring...
That does it. From here on out, I'm joining all games with the phrase "In like Fin". Whether you're playing or not. :smalltongue:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Ok, sorry for the delay, and as planned we kept it simple, which will be handy as it's my first time being a real narrator.

[Zar Peter]

No fool?

Hmm... who would accidentally think he's Gandalf...

[Emperor Demonking]

So, Classic only even more town favored?

[Dallas-Dakota]

No fool?

Hmm... who would accidentally think he's Gandalf...
That was the problem....
Hmmmm....

I got nothing.

[Reinholdt]

Nonsense. DD must have just missed the PM.

[PhantomFox]

Sauraman or Radagast?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Woops, must have missed that PM, stupid PM box filling up to fast.....

[Shadowcaller]

Hmm so its like classic - fool then?:smallconfused:

Edit: No wait, its exactly like classics:smalleek:.

[PhantomFox]

Even so... this seems kinda... plain. Classic with a setting slapped over it. I was expecting more, honestly. I'll still enjoy it though.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Even so... this seems kinda... plain. Classic with a setting slapped over it. I was expecting more, honestly. I'll still enjoy it though.

Hmm, Yes...a bit.....
But a traditional game all along these new-fangled game might be good.

And I want to keep it siiiimple for my first game.

And if there's any RP'ing going on, I'l probably join in on it.

[Shadow]

So, Classic only even more less town favored? (& with a different name)

Fixed it for you.
Less town favored because less masons.

[Emperor Demonking]

Names make no difference.

[Shadow]

The Nine + Sauron = 50-60 players needed, just to make it clear.
50-60 players, with only 4 masons = Mordor favored heavily

[Reinholdt]

Not all 9 Nazgul will be making an appearance. Some of them have dates with a tanning salon.

[PhantomFox]

Hmm, Yes...a bit.....

That's what the Classic series is for. And there's so much potential in this setting! Gimli, Legolas, Faramir, Elrond, Eowyn, Saruaman, Gollum, and THE RING to name just a few.

[Dallas-Dakota]

That's what the Classic series is for. And there's so much potential in this setting! Gimli, Legolas, Faramir, Elrond, Eowyn, Saruaman, Gollum, and THE RING to name just a few.
Yes yes yes.
This is ment to be a SERIE of WW games.
This is just the journey between Bree(the prancing poney) and Rivendell.

[Emperor Demonking]

PF, does have a point, but its your game. Design it as you want.

[Shadowcaller]

Yes yes yes.
This is ment to be a SERIE of WW games.
This is just the journey between Bree(the prancing poney) and Rivendell.

I hate to come up with changes for the narrator but have you considered renaming Sauron to the witch king? Its the same role (the devil) but I would like to have Sauron introduced at the last game instead of the first (you don't see sauron much in the first book anyway)

[Shadow]

Yes yes yes.
This is ment to be a SERIE of WW games.
This is just the journey between Bree(the prancing poney) and Rivendell.
And as such, each game in the series will add new rules and factions? Until the battle of Minus Tirith with many actions warring?
Or possibly Mt Doom & the Black Gates?

I like the concept.
A series that has different rules and mechanics each time it's played.

I like it.

This was in fact the intention. Start small and slowly build up to the climatic conclusion.

[PhantomFox]

So... what happens if Mordor wins?

[Zar Peter]

Some eagles come and drag the main protagonists out of the fire to the next game place... or something like that.

[Mordokai]

So... what happens if Mordor wins?

http://wetako.cik.de/uploads/pics/I_divided_by_zero.jpg

[Reinholdt]

You know how the Eagles could have saved everyone three really long books by flying in there and dropping the ring into Mt. Doom?

Like Zar said, some Dues Ex Machina like that. :smalltongue:

[Dallas-Dakota]

You know how the Eagles could have saved everyone three really long books by flying in there and dropping the ring into Mt. Doom?

Like Zar said, some Dues Ex Machina like that. :smalltongue:

The problem with that is that they would have been easily and far away been spotted by Sauron.

[Reinholdt]

The problem with that is that they would have been easily and far away been spotted by Sauron.
Yeah, but then the Eagles go "Woosh!" and the Nazgul go "SCREEE!" and then everyone gets together for tea and crumpets. :smalltongue:

[Zar Peter]

And the Nazgul would have attacked the eagles. This time the eagles can drag away the main protagonists because the Nazgul are distracted... eating the other players :smallwink:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Actually I imagine that the gods would intervene and maybe set it on where the second part should begin.......with everybody we need alive..

[Shadowcaller]

Actually I imagine that the gods would intervene and maybe set it on where the second part should begin.......with everybody we need alive..

So... the wolfs can't really win then?:smallwink:

Um I had the "rename sauron to witch king idea"...

[Dallas-Dakota]

So... the wolfs can't really win then?:smallwink:

Um I had the "rename sauron to witch king idea"...
Yes they(almost typed : Yes the can:smalltongue:) can. It would just fall into a AU.:smalltongue:

Hmmm....it might be a idea....Let me telepathically discuss this with my co-narrators.

[Shishnarfne]

Hmm... Now that rules are up, I think I'll join in...

[Uncle Festy]

Rules are nothing special, but not bad, either.
If we're escalating, I support switching the Devil to the Witch King, as well as putting in more of the Fellowship in as roles. You've got the Hobbits, Gandalf, and Aragorn – I vote switching the Fool to Boromir, making Legolas the sniper, and making Gimli –*I dunno, the beast? Maybe the voider?

[Aether]

In.

The changing of the Devil from Sauron to Witch King sounds good.


As for who the Fool could be... Possibly Radagast the Brown. If I remember correctly, he was supposed to be connected to animals. And in Fellowship of the Ring, the Fellowship were worried that Saruman and/or Sauron were spying on them via animals...

Actually, all wizards seemed to be able to speak to animals and such.. So maybe the Seer can be a wizard who's scrying methods haven't been compromised, while the Fool would be a wizard who's animal contacts are unreliable...

The Enemy can't completely neutralize the wizards, they can't reach that far with strong enough agents; they're sending the Nine against the ringbearer first... So instead Mordor is going to mess with one of the wizards and have the animals feed him false information.



I have some questions: Will the normal wolves know each other, and only the Devil will be out of the loop, or is this completely blind?

Does the Devil scry as the Devil, a Wolf, or a Villager?

Do the wolves at least know how many wolves there are? Does the devil know how many there are?

What happens if the wolves Night Kills hit a wolf, or the devil? Do they begin to form a network, or will it be a case of friendly fire?


Will the Fool *only* get the result "This guy is the Fool" when he/she scries the Seer... or is it possible for "this guy is the Fool" to come up as a random scry result?

What are the possible scry results for the Fool? i.e. "Wolf or Villager and if Seer then Fool" or is any role a toss-up as a random result?


Can Role PMs be quoted in this thread or in PMs?

[Supagoof]

*snip*
Can Role PMs be quoted in this thread or in PMs?
I don't see why they can't be used. In fact, why don't I use the one you sent me.


Supagoof, you are the baner. Your job is to protect someone each night by sending the player's name into in the narrators.

In general, doing such though will lead to a riskier game for you. :smallwink: I have always encourage taking risks in these games though. :smallbiggrin:

[Madmal]

If this is still recruiting, i'm in.

[Dallas-Dakota]

The changing of the Devil from Sauron to Witch King sounds good.
Indeed.


As for who the Fool could be... Possibly Radagast the Brown. If I remember correctly, he was supposed to be connected to animals. And in Fellowship of the Ring, the Fellowship were worried that Saruman and/or Sauron were spying on them via animals...

Wizards are the istari, there are five of them. The three mentioned out of my head are Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast. The latter two were barely mentioned between Bree and/in Rivendell.
So no.

What we have with the seer and fool is fine by me currently.


I have some questions: Will the normal wolves know each other, and only the Devil will be out of the loop, or is this completely blind?
Wolves will know eachother, the devil won't, this isn't completely blind.


Does the Devil scry as the Devil, a Wolf, or a Villager?


Do the wolves at least know how many wolves there are? Does the devil know how many there are?
Wolves know how many wolves there are, devil doesn't.


What happens if the wolves Night Kills hit a wolf, or the devil? Do they begin to form a network, or will it be a case of friendly fire?
Wolves aren't blind to eachother.


Will the Fool *only* get the result "This guy is the Fool" when he/she scries the Seer... or is it possible for "this guy is the Fool" to come up as a random scry result?
Nope, they will get that its ''this guy is the fool''(< insert more fitting message there though)


What are the possible scry results for the Fool? i.e. "Wolf or Villager and if Seer then Fool" or is any role a toss-up as a random result?
Random results for fool 's scrying is random, but will remain the same(so you can't scry a person twice if you're the fool and get different results, just a inacurrate one) which one that is, is determined randomly.


Can Role PMs be quoted in this thread or in PMs?
Yes they can, however, Role PM's will also be in the first post, making that pretty useless.

If this is still recruiting, i'm in.
Yes, we are still recruiting, welcome aboard.

Sorry for the half-answers but I have to go to school, I'l answer more when I come back!

[Aether]

Hmmm.. Okay. I'm still not sure on two points however.

"Wizards are the istari, there are five of them. The three mentioned out of my head are Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast. The latter two were barely mentioned between Bree and/in Rivendell.
So no.

What we have with the seer and fool is fine by me currently."

I wasn't suggesting that there be lots of people given the role of Istari. Just that Barliman, while certainly not a genius, seems off in that he would think that HE is Gandalf... Radagast seems, at least, to fit in more thematically.


"Nope, they will get that its ''this guy is the fool''(< insert more fitting message there though)"

Either you didn't understand my question, or I'm not understanding your answer. If the Fool makes a scy attempt, will he recieve a PM saying "the person you've scried is the Fool" ONLY when the Fool targets the real Seer? Or is it possible for the Fool to scry Person A on night 1 and be told "this is the Fool" and then scry Person B on night 2 and be told "this is the Fool" just out of randomness?


Some more questions:

What happens if the wolves Night-Kill the Devil? Does the kill go through, or is it blocked/halted and the wolves are told "hey, you just tried to night-kill the Devil."

Can Scries interfere with each other and cancel out?


EDIT: According to co-narrator Reinholdt, Dec. 22 or 23.


December 22nd or 23rd.

I'm wondering if starting close to Christmas will result in some inactivity. But on the other hand, I don't want to wait too long for a new WW game to start! :smallsmile:

[D_Lord]

I forgot then does this start again?

[Lavidor]

Why not.12

[Dallas-Dakota]

Does the Devil scry as the Devil, a Wolf, or a Villager?
The Devil scries as villager.

Hmmm.. Okay. I'm still not sure on two points however.


"Wizards are the istari, there are five of them. The three mentioned out of my head are Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast. The latter two were barely mentioned between Bree and/in Rivendell.

"Nope, they will get that its ''this guy is the fool''(< insert more fitting message there though)"
[/quote]
Hmmm.
I can understand where you're coming from.
It's just first of all, Radagast is barely mentioned, especially between the Prancing Pony and Rivendell. Second, Radagast is not a fool, he has enough knowledge of animals and such to know if a animal is lieing to him or not. He can detect that.
Third, if you want, I can just put up that he doesn't think he's gandalf, just that he knows his customers and such and has great knowledge about them...Or something, but that he really just doesn't and is forgetfull. Or something...:smallsigh:



Either you didn't understand my question, or I'm not understanding your answer. If the Fool makes a scy attempt, will he recieve a PM saying "the person you've scried is the Fool" ONLY when the Fool targets the real Seer?

I think I didn't understand you in my sleepy haze this morning, sorry.
No. The fool can't get that. He can only get that when he scries the real seer.



Some more questions:

What happens if the wolves Night-Kill the Devil? Does the kill go through, or is it blocked/halted and the wolves are told "hey, you just tried to night-kill the Devil."

They get a message that it's the devil.


Can Scries interfere with each other and cancel out?

Yes, Helgraf's scry interefernce rule is applied in this game.



EDIT: According to co-narrator Reinholdt, Dec. 22 or 23.

That is correct.



I'm wondering if starting close to Christmas will result in some inactivity. But on the other hand, I don't want to wait too long for a new WW game to start! :smallsmile:
I've wondered about that as well.
That's why untill the fifth of January, days will last 72 hours and nights 48 hours. On the fifth there will be a decision if days stay that long or are shortened to 48 hour days and 24 hour nights.

[Kwarkpudding]

Alright, I'm in.

[Shadow]

I don't think I ever actually said I was playing until now....

[Dallas-Dakota]

I don't think I ever actually said I was playing until now....
I've got Shadow!
I've got Shadow, nananaana!

You know, Shadow plays in other games to.
Oh...ermm yes.

But I got Shadow! Nanananana!

Umm, you do know that Shadow can break games and such more easily then other players?

ERmmm, yes, but tis a very basic game....so.

I got Shadow!
I got Shadow! Nanananana!
:tongue:

[Fin]

That does it. From here on out, I'm joining all games with the phrase "In like Fin". Whether you're playing or not. :smalltongue:

Woo! My commitment gets the recognition it deserves!

Now to convert the rest of you...

[Dallas-Dakota]

Come on people. Join this WW game and get a free shiny!
*gives shiny's to all players*

[Boo]

I'll say in since I predict I'm going to die in one or two games by the time this one starts.

[Noir_Cat]

I would really like to join one of these games, and I think that this is the only one that is recruiting at this moment (if you guys still are, that is). But is it wise for someone who doesn't necessarily like LOTR to join?

Of course, I also realize that this won't be the last WW game, either.

[Reinholdt]

DD might look at you like you're off your rocker :smallwink:, but you can still join. Unless somebody intends to go about bashing the setting and making the game less fun for people, everyone is invited.

Especially strange cats. :smallbiggrin:

[Supagoof]

Of course, I also realize that this won't be the last WW game, either.
It's a good simple set of rules to join in with and get your feet wet. Plus, if Shadow's playing, you can learn all sorts of things about being sneaky and underhanded and stuff. :smallbiggrin:

And yep, the werewolf games have been going on 2+ years now, and the creativity in new ones hasn't run out of steam yet. :smallwink:

[Noir_Cat]

*peeks around shoulders and glares suspiciously* Nope! No intention or willingness to bash the game, the settings, or characters here!*

Sneaky and underhanded you say? In light of such appealing arguments made by Supagoof and Reinholdt, count me in.

*the verbal poking of other game players, however, is another matter entirely :smallamused:

[Mordokai]

*pokes the kitty*

You're one of us now!

One of us, one of us, one of us...

[Shadow]

Sneaky?
Underhanded?

Not me....

<.<
>.>

[Noir_Cat]

NO!!! Must. Resist. Conformity!

Ooooo...*stares* Evil Mordokai...I had heard, of course, but seeing is a different story. We should be turning the 'one of us' chant on you.

[Mordokai]

You know something is wrong when a fall of a paladin is the hottest news in town :smallsigh:

[Vampiric]

Hey, I didn't know till I signed on and saw your avatar...

Though maybe that says something about me, rather than the playground...? :smallfrown::smalltongue:

[Noir_Cat]

Oh~way to stay true to your new alignment, Mordy. I, of course, most certainly agree. A town in which the villagers don't even bat an eye when a paladin comes over to the dark side is definitely better.

And, actually, it was RHL that told me. I think she should have taken you up on that offer to trade herself for Flora...

:confused:
Welcome, as said, a simple set of rules like this might be a good way to start.

Not speaking from experience...
I think my first WW game was Hogwarts or Camp II....
:smalltongue:

[TRM]

The_Rogue_Monk is interested in joining.

[Helgraf]

You shall not lynch!

((In))

[Dallas-Dakota]

The Rogue Monk is very welcome if he decides to join.

[The Bushranger]

And I am IN!

[Dallas-Dakota]

Great!


recruiting closing in 86 min!

[TRM]

Oh, The_Rogue_Monk meant that he is joining.

[Dallas-Dakota]

K.

Lord of the rings WW : The journey begins is now closed!

I'l have player list up by tomorrow.

[PhantomFox]

May I assume that role PMs are going out then too?

[Dallas-Dakota]

You may assume that I'm going to bed now.:smalltongue:

[Noir_Cat]

Dallas-dakota, I'm not on the players list...:smallfrown:

EDIT: I've just noticed that I'm not the only one who is not on The List. Perhaps The real List is not up yet?

Mordokai didn't say he's in, so I'm not signing him up for a game he didn't want to be in. I'l be PM him to be sure.
Banjo is away untill further notice, atleast new year. Even with 72 hour days and 48 hour nights, he would probably still be autolynched.

I'l have him on the auto-lynch reserve list. ^^
Aether, thenk you for your help and *kill* for making me feel a very sucky narrator(which I probably am but yeah ^^)

[Mordokai]

No need to PM, I just felt like poking Noir_Cat. I won't be joining this game, sorry.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Poking people is a valid excuse. Excuse accepted.

:smalltongue:

[Aether]

Ah. A question.

When the fool/seer dies, will we be told WHICH it was that died?

In some games, if the fool dies, we're not told whether it was the fool, or the seer... Like in Fears 2. Which was a nasty shock.

Ummm, nope.....Unless one of the (co-) narrators on the spot decides to do so.:smalltongue:

[Aether]

Ummm, nope.....Unless one of the (co-) narrators on the spot decides to do so.:smalltongue:

Wait.. So, we may or may not be given clarification as to the role? Damn.

[Vampiric]

The standard for WW is that neither role is definitively revealed until both are dead or the game ends. Until then, the 'rolees' and the players have to figure it out for themselves.

[Aether]

Ah. I thought the standard was that the role was revealed if one of them died. Oh well. Just one more thing to be worried about if I get told I'm Batma--I mean, the Seer...

[Noir_Cat]

Batman??!!! Where? *frantically looks around* I DON'T SEE HIM!!


Just so you guys know, I am going to the lake for a couple days--probably getting back late Saturday or early Sunday (central time). There is internet, but it is dial-up and it is highly unlikely that I will be on. With the double hours for days and nights, I should be okay--I just wanted to warn you.

[Mordokai]

*pokes kitty with a sharpened stick some more*

Have fun while you're gone. Don't go sane all of a sudden :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

[Noir_Cat]

*bats at stick, then randomly attacks Mordy's helmet-horns*

Sane? Why would I go there? I was bored out of my mind last time--vowed to never go again.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Noted.
though with 72 hour days and 48 hour nights, I'l doubt you'l miss much.

[Aether]

*jumps on thread and starts bouncing up and down*

Come on! Start the game! Start the game!:smalleek:


EDIT: Also, a game where Batman is the Seer and Joker would be the fool would be cool. Or possibly the Riddler... The Animaniacs one of Pinky and Brain is good.

Calm down, though it's good to see excitement for the game.
The starting date as discussed with Shadow and Raistlin in WW Central has been moved to the 29th/30th.

Well, since I just noticed that Super Christmas Game isn't going to happen, feel free to start it at your leisure.
Gee, ED scheduled a game that never happened.... imagine that....
:sigh:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Ah ok then, that's great then Shadow...Though a christmas game would have been nice to. :smallsigh:

Ok, so I'l be sending Reinholdt the role Pm's when I've gotten them written, he'l send them out, and as soon as I've written the opening post, I'l guess that means game start...

S.E.U. is kind of a christmas game... really!:smalltongue:

[Noir_Cat]

WOOT!! I am home and ready for the games to begin! --insert evil cackle here--

I think it's more evil if the evil laugh is coordinated to what the listener thinks is evil, not what I think is evil. But the purpose of my evil laugh is defeated by expaining this... :sweatdrop:

Also, a Batman WW game would be absolutely amazing. I would be hard put to find a better game. What would Catwoman's role be? I mean, she switches sides so often...

[Emperor Demonking]

You'd struggle with Catwoman? But not Joker, Batman, Robin, Two Face and co?

[Noir_Cat]

*chants with Aether* Start the game! Start the game!

[Dallas-Dakota]

As said in WW central(which you should all read and keep up with, if you don't already) the new starting date is the 29th/30th, especially in connection with Raistlin moving his game to a later date (And EDK just started recruiting, I don't want to take players away from him, even if he just needs twelve)

*hides from the mobs*

[Hyozo]

Also, a Batman WW game would be absolutely amazing. I would be hard put to find a better game. What would Catwoman's role be? I mean, she switches sides so often...

She could be a neutral "survivor" role who automatically wins as long as she survives to the end. I'm not sure what she would do though...

That is a great idea.


I know, I know, Dallas. I was just being spazzy for the sake of being spazzy. I saw where you told Aether that the date had been moved to the 29th-30th.

[Aether]

Yet another question! If there is no kill at night, will we be told why, or what happened?

For instance, if the Baner successfully defended a target, will we be told that somebody was attacked, but saved by the Baner?

Will we be told that somebody had been attacked, but saved by the Baner?

Will we simply be told that there were no deaths during the night?

What if there are no deaths due to the wolves having targeted the Devil?


Will we simply not be told so that it won't give away when/if the wolves have linked up with the Devil?

[Dallas-Dakota]

That is a great idea.

I...I...I thought only RHL did that..............We've got two of them now....... mommy Boorrrr!


:smalltongue:

Depends on the case.

For instance, if the Baner successfully defended a target, will we be told that somebody was attacked, but saved by the Baner?
Yes, but not who it was that was attacked.

Will we be told that somebody had been attacked, but saved by the Baner?
Yeah...that.


Will we simply be told that there were no deaths during the night?
See the last question of yours.

What if there are no deaths due to the wolves having targeted the Devil?
Then it would just say that there were no kills. Just like if the wolves on purpose or not didn't send in a kill or whatever.

Will we simply not be told so that it won't give away when/if the wolves have linked up with the Devil?
The first time that there was no death on the night. We'l instead have a scene where Atreyu the Masked llama is killed. Granted that he doesn't object. He'l just be ressurected with one of the many souls he has in Playground Squares...

Now stop asking me all those questions.....It's making me squirm as a first-time narrator. >.<

Though it's probably good that you do.

[Noir_Cat]

I...I...I thought only RHL did that..............We've got two of them now....... mommy Boorrrr!

*gasps* RHL and I are absolutely nothing alike! She is a Madd Hatter and I am a Kitty! We are two totally different creatures people. *nods stately*

[Vampiric]

Yes, but not who it was that was attacked.

Wait... what?

"Someone was attacked, but they were baned. But we aren't telling you who. Nyer. :smalltongue:"

[Dallas-Dakota]

No, not really. Please don't lock one of our accounts. o.o

[Noir_Cat]

Yeah, only with my very own body. Hmm...but that would mean that I was your clone. Must rethink this.

[Supagoof]

Points at both RHL & Noir Cat just to make sure.

And Auntie 'Larra does a really good job in checking the software (that she mentioned once in conversation) that alerts the mods of potential double/alt accounts for these games. So don't worry RHL, I'm pretty sure she won't lock you away.

Roland on the other hand.....:smallamused: :smalltongue:

Wait. What about me? *nervously looks behind shoulders* I don't want to be locked away! *screams and struggles as people in white come to take away* I've already been to the Happy Hut once this year!! The room with the pillows everywhere was fun, but I don't wish to visit just now!!

[PhantomFox]

So... roles are going out today then? And remind me if there's going to be a new thread? (I hope so)

[Dallas-Dakota]

Reinholdt is sending out the role PM's I wrote now.
Writing the starting post for the new thread after this post. And I'l have that up in a bit, though 'Larra has to approve it. So depends on her when it actually gets up.
