WW36: Battle for Middle-Earth Game Thread - GAME OVER
Thu Oct 30, 2008 2:33 am
Welcome, mortals, to Middle-Earth. Your hostesses for WereWolf 36: Battle for Middle-Earth are two of the Valier, the Queens of the Valar, Varda (Pickles) and Nienna (averly).
Your goal will be to survive. Whichever team is still around at the end of the game will be declared the winners. Every player will receive unique roles, both good and evil, which will influence the game.
Voting and Executions: Everyone has the chance to have a say in who is executed. Each day, you have two votes. Consider who you vote for carefully, as you do not want to kill the wrong person off! No execution votes are permitted.
We of the Valier do require a little emphasis on things you really want us to see (namely your votes and your locations), so please post them in bold, like so:
Vote: Pickles and averly
If you do not post in bold, we will consider it not important enough to spend our time on, and thus ignore it.
You may change your mind about who to vote for, which is OK. To confirm that you wish to remove your vote for them, please unvote (also in bold) as so:
Unvote: averly
Once you have unvoted, you may vote for a different person. If you do not unvote, and vote for a new person, your original vote will be the only one to count.
Executions will be decided by majority. If 51% or more of the live player vote for one person, that person will be executed. Double executions are possible. In order to obtain a double execution, one person must have 76% of the vote on them, and the second, 51%. Double executions and double votes will be removed once the game gets smaller.
Death: Many people will die throughout this game, in a various assortment of ways. Once you have died, you may not post in the active game thread. A separate thread for the dead and those not playing the game to post in will exist. Additional rules will be posted in this thread.
Please keep in mind that it is possible to be resurrected after you have died, and be brought back into the game. If this happens, you will receive a PM to let you know.
Roles: Everyone will receive unique roles that will allow them to change bits and pieces of how the game flows. You may not quote your role to anyone, but you may discuss it openly if you so choose. You may not reveal any teammates you might have.
Special Powers (SP): You might receive or stumble across a special power during the game. You may not discuss what this power is until after you have used it, but you may mention that you have a special power.
Shields: Everyone starts with a shield. Your shield is your protection against death. If you are executed and survive, your shield will go down 30%. If you survive a night or day attack, your shield will go down 15%. It is possible for your shield to be raised by various powers.
Day: Days will be from approximately 10PM CST (8PM NST, 4AM GMT) (after night is posted) until 9:30PM CST (7:30PM NST, 3:30AM GMT). During this time, you may discuss as much as you want, vote, uses role abilities or special powers, and submit your lists (including locations).
Execution: Executions will be promptly at 9:30PM CST (7:30PM NST, 3:30AM GMT). Just as a reminder, executions will be based on only the bolded votes.
Night: Night will be posted at approximately 10PM CST (8PM NST, 4AM GMT) Once night is posted, the next day begins.
There will be no break for weekends (the day/night cycle will continue as normal).
Lists: Many roles require nightly action. All lists must be submitted by Execution time 9:30PM CST (7:30PM NST, 3:30AM GMT). Any lists received after this time will not be counted. The sooner you can turn in your lists, the better.
Lists should be submitted to BOTH Pickles and averly.
Because Lists are important to the game, they are taken seriously. You will be granted a pardon for the first missed list, but if you miss a second one, your shield will go down 5% and you will be warned. If you miss a third one, you will be modkilled.
Locations: Everyone will be required to select a location every night to stay, whether or not they are required to submit a nightlist. Locations can have an effect on the game, so are mandatory. Locations should be posted on the game thread. Please bold your locations so that we know this is where you wish to stay and not simply part of the conversation, like so:
Move to: Bree
If you decide that you would prefer to be in a different location from the one you originally chose for the day, simply post like below:
Move From: Bree
Even though the geography of the land does not limit you to what location you chose, here is a handy reference map for your reading pleasure.
Available locations are:
-the Shire
-Bree
-Rivendell
-Moria
-Lothlórien
-Isengard
-Fangorn Forest
-Minas Tirith
-Helm's Deep
-Mordor
Inactivity: While not posting or voting will not get you modkilled, it will likely not make the other players very happy with you. However, your nightlists are imperative. Once again, 3 missed lists, and you will be modkilled. If you will be inactive for a short period of time, please PM both of us and let us know ahead of time if possible.
Miscellaneous rules:
-Obey all forum rules. This includes the WW rules, posted here. Please take time to review them. Players who are modkilled are subject to consequences, per these rules.
-You may not quote anything we have PMed you.
-You may not quote private conversations with other players unless all involved PM both averly and Pickles their consent as well as the conversation in question.
-All posts from avelry and Pickles will be in dark green to distinguish from regular posts. Please do not post in this color.

Intro
Varda and Nienna stood solemnly at the center of Weathertop. The sky darkened ominously at about the same time a cry for help came to their ears from somewhere in Middle-Earth. They looked at each other silently, having expected it. Closing their eyes, they called upon the powers of the Valar and others like them. Within moments, a crowd of confused people stood in front of them. Amongst them was a body, and a figure huddled over it in distress.
Varda stepped forward as the crowd parted to let her approach the body.
"What's going on?" Ange asked as Varda passed. A look to her direction silenced her temporarily.
Varda knelt by the body, a soft glow coming from her body. "It is as we feared," she stated, her voice seeming to echo around the stones. "There has been a murder. Our friend, Butterbur, is dead. I cannot ascertain how he died, or who killed him."
Nienna began violently weeping. Varda looked to her, reprovingly. "Now, my dear, there will be time for that later. First, these people must find out who among them committed this crime." She touched the body of Butterbur, and a bright light surrounded her hand, temporarily blinding everyone.
"He's gone!" Mongrel cried, rubbing her eyes.
"Yes, he has gone to Valinor," Nienna wept, tears trickling down her cheeks.
"And now it is up to you to find those who would bring terror and darkness to this land. Each day, we will gather here to see if you have discovered someone to execute. Now...off with you!"
Roles have been distributed. If you have not received your role, please contact Pickles and averly immediately.
Day 1 begins.
Again, please note: Execution of Day 1 will be on October 31st at 9:30PM CST (7:30PM NST, 2:30AM GMT).

I've gotten my role. This will be fun. Just as long as I don't run into any ringwraiths -- those things gave me nightmares (and no, the ones in the movie were not even 1/10 as scary as the ones in my imagination from reading the books).

Oh, hi. Come here often?
* Note of warning: Yes, I will be playing, but I am slammed at work right now. Case in point: I did 79 hours in 7 days, which includes 23 hours (almost 3 extra DAYS) of over time. I love my job, that's all I can say. So yes, I will try and reply to PMs etc, but if I'm not as active as normal games, I'm getting my explanation out there now

Aaw, Butterbur. 
Wasn't he the innkeeper at the Prancing Pony in Bree?
...lol, I think I shall be listening to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack a lot in the next while. I listen to it a lot anyways (it is on my mp3 player), but I'll specifically search them out now.
The music on there is so pretty.

He was indeed. He was also one of our casualty roles - IE, he was a role, but is no longer. The intro is a tribute to him.Candy Corn Twiz wrote:Aaw, Butterbur.

Gots my role!
I think I should read the other two LOTR books now, haha. I only read the first one and parts of the second and third before all the movies came out. Maybe I'll go buy them tomorrow, actually. At the rate I read I'll be done with them well before this game is over, lol.
And aww poor Butterbur, I bet that would've been a neat role!
