Who is Bill Ferney indeed?

Bill has been removed from the role list, and the balance has been shifted to less favor the mafia (like it was before).

It seems I am so far removed from hosting relatively vanilla games that I've forgotten what proper balance looks like.

Posted: **Mon Jan 01, 2018 10:11 pm**

I wanted to be Bill Ferney.

i guess i'll still play.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2018 3:42 pm**

I want to be Tom Bombadil. Like, in real life, not just in this game.

I value my health and sanity slightly more than the The Lord of the Rings franchise-- not by a lot, but luckily by enough.

Since this is a simple game, I'm willing to expand those options to the players' choice of the following (in PST):

7-8 AM
12-2 PM
6-7 PM
10PM+

So just let me know any of these times that work for you. This is for all players.

Additionally, day phases are 48 hours while night phases are 24 hours .

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2018 2:10 pm**

I forgot about my friend visiting Jan 23 for 2 weeks so I won't be signing up for any new games. I would pick 12-2PM out of those options personally, in the event the game starts after my friend leaves.

Posted: **Thu Jan 04, 2018 3:07 pm**

I'll never say no to a Tolkien game. Also, it's jarring to imagine Tom Bombadil as a vanilla civ.

My preference is for 6-7 PST.

I had planned on PMing you to let you know this was in signups, but I didn't even have to do that.

I also just (conveniently) finished reading The Children if Hurin, and Christopher Tolkien release. First Tolkien book I've read that wasn't made into a blockbuster film, and I found it quite enjoyable.

I'm only a maybe because I already signed up for the other two open games right now. I don't want to put myself into three active games at once. I very much want to play this.

I'm a yes if you start this on/after 4th of February. Slick chance of that happening on a theme like this, but there's no other way I can play.

Posted: **Fri Jan 05, 2018 4:52 pm**

I'll probably be away for a while in mid-February, which I realize is going to impact my availability in any of these games.

I can honestly say that I can think of no greater thrill than to be Samwise Gamgee to Sloonei’s Frodo Baggins

Posted: **Mon Jan 15, 2018 4:45 pm**

As facilitator, I will be roleplaying as the elven bread gifted by Galadriel. If that was even in the first book.

Indeed. You seem lovely and I’d love to play more games with you. I’d like to play this one but I have scheduling issues. If this game starts after about 28 January I’ll be good but before then, it will be impossible

same here, actually. But Feb 4th for me. If it starts a few days before then, I'll sign up anyway.

Glad to hear it. I knew you were dealing with some rough shit, good to hear it's finally normalizing.

You have all kinds of new blood to get acquainted with, so that should be fun all around.
