Juliets, the 11th Doctor was Matt Smith. The 12th is the current and it's Peter Capaldi.

Tennant!! Thats the one I've heard about. What number is he?

Number 10!

Thank you Dana, it's number 10 for me!

I kinda have a soft spot for 9 (that's eccleston right?) as the first doctor I saw, but miss tennant soooo much.

I know, I wanted both of these games to start so badly, especially this one, but them starting the same night will prove interesting for my schedule sometimes. Lol. But I'm sure it won't matter.

I have a soft spot for 9 too (Yes, Eccleston), I don't understand some of the apathy there.

When we feel like it, dammit!

Honestly, it will end after a time which bea and I determine is a reasonable amount of time for everyone to check in. So probably 3 or so days max.

Makes sense. Thanks!

I voted for 3 because I didn't see it getting much love.

Oh god, those things. Okay, terrible story arc, I will admit that.

I love Eccleson, but I just hated the farting aliens.

Agreed entirely. The rest of his episodes were great.

4 all day, man. Dat scarf, dat swag...

Also the only one I ever really remember. >.<

Question for the hosts: There still appear to be 28 roles in the role listing. Shouldn't there be 31?

Lol, fair response. Is the role listing going to be updated to 31 roles or are those 3 roles secret?

I know you have a LOT to do, so I'm only curious.

Well, I tried.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, I tried.

Bea did say some roles would be secret, if that helps at all?

Why would that help, Dana? Don't be silly.

Help with the confusion. Don't be mean, Enri.

Here are two of my other favorite doctors:

yay, its begun!

I could rank every Doctor pretty easily but I won't. The Tenth is MY Doctor, closely followed by the Fourth.

Up to 13 options?

I chose 4 & 10. A lot of the other doctors lost my interest, but not those two.

I know some people aren't Whovians so I'd just like to point out I think its pretty likely the Cybermen leader can recruit at some point. The Cybermen are human being carved up and put into their suits. Dalek Sec is a half human, half dalek - so might also have a recruit (or evolution of a human). More likely there is just one recruit and it's with the Cybermen I think.

Also likely the Master will resurrect, as he's a Time Lord like the Doctor and can regenerate after death.

sorry pls dont hate me

I know nothing about Dr Who so voting randomly the last number.

Yay, game begins!

Excited the game has started!

Doctor from the 50th anniversary special, if I am correct, he isn't even suppose to exist. The 9th doctor was suppose to be the war doctor but 9 refused to show up (or wasn't asked to show up) for the special??

Not quite right. From what I heard Ecclestone was invited to be a part of the 50th but decided it was best if he stayed away because he pretty much hates everything about the production. John Hurt (War Doctor) was always going to be that character, in 9's first episode he is implied to have only just regenerated. Also the things Matt Smith says about him in Name of The Doctor wouldn't make sense if he was talking about Ecclestone's character.

The War Doctor is who 8 regenerated into after deciding he needed to stop the Time War for good. He's the Doctor who wasn't the Doctor. Except he totally was.

Give Capaldi a full season, and I bet my answer to this will change. But for now, I would agree.

You think so? I saw the first episode and found the writing to be quite awful.

Capaldi's first episode was no Eleventh Hour but I thought it was decent. The second, not so much. The Robin Hood episode was fun and the latest one was quite interesting IMO, while Listen is up there with Blink as one of the best ever. I think he's going to do a great job.

I agree. There is a difference between the writing and the acting. I think the writing will catch up with the acting soon enough (I hope. ) I really did like the last two episodes though. Transitions are always difficult.

I really hated most of Smith's reign. I love Matt Smith, but I thought the writing was horrendous.

Anyway, I don't want to clog the thread with my pretentious 'Moffat Killed Who' rants.

Please, pretentious away. Really I think it's River Song who killed it though. Her plot was so convoluted and dumb that I barely even remember what happened in the season six finale or really what the overall point of it all was. I also think she kinda ruined Amy. Smith is still my favourite though tbh.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Lol, fair response. Is the role listing going to be updated to 31 roles or are those 3 roles secret?

What if the other 3 roles are the Silence and they're totally there but every time we look away we forget? Also, why are my arms covered in tally marks?

I think Tennant was good but part of me thinks he's also overhyped. He had a lot of the best episodes but he gets a lot of credit just for being good looking as well. Matt Smith got me back into the show after I'd sort of lost interest and missed most of season 3/4 and the specials. He had some lame episodes but also some of the most badass scenes. Eleven is totally my Doctor.

I thought I smelled a brand new shiny game thread this morning.

I will read and vote later right now I am off to earn a living.

Hahaha This amused me.


Anyway, although I may not be super familiar with Doctor Who I do know that I like David Tennant so that is who I am voting for.

Hi. I'm going to be pretty AWOL today and tomorrow due to life. But I'm here, and I'll catch up as soon as I get a chance.

Hey all! I chose 6.

Well since I don't know any of the doctors I'm just going to go with one of my favorite numbers which is number 9.

I don't know who is who, but I like the number 7.

hello

As your moderator for this game, I want to welcome everyone and remind them of the friendly neighborhood llama's friendly neighborhood rule: my inbox is the place for complaints and personal problems, not the thread.

Thanks, and have a great game!

Your llama stache is scary.

I totally forgot about them, I definitely think this theory is pretty likely. They would make pretty awesome roles.

Yeah, that happens a lot. You probably stopped looking.

I have read up and am voting for #1. Without the first Doctor we would have had allthe rest including my favorite 10.

You can vote for more than one.

Yah I know but I don't want to

Why can I edit in this forum? is it bc I am hosting the other game?

Good observations. I often dislike worrying about dynamics that we do not yet know to exist (such as speculating there is a 'Seemer' role when there is not one listed in the roles), but on the flipside I think it is good to keep in mind that recruits are a possibility, and definitely could be likely. If just the Cybermen have a recruit though, surely the Daleks must have a pretty significant power to balance the teams? So if there are any recruits, I'd venture to say one per team is most likely.

Given The Master appears to be an LMS, which makes complete sense, I would bet he has a pretty powerful role, so yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he would resurrect after dying. I suppose The Doctor can as well though? Which means someone automatically regenerating after death could be either of those roles, potentially. So why wouldn't you mention that?

Consequently, while I do believe you have some logical and astute observations, in the end, I question the true intent behind your post. I've seen baddies (and I always try to do this myself as bad) who try to appear as helpful as possible but while simultaneously causing unnecessary paranoia, so just because I find myself agreeing with you, when I read your post part of me wondered if you are trying to set up misconceptions and paranoia.

Did anyone else get this stroke of paranoid thought or was it just me?

Never too early to start suspicion discussion, am I right?

Wow, nice theory. That's a definite possibility and would explain why they're not listed. Would that be a third mafia team then? If so, that's kind of scary, but might actually be kind of a good thing since the baddies will have a lot of competing factions to worry about, and won't focus on just ridding civvies. When I had three mafia teams in Classic Rock, there was more fighting among mafia teams than I expected, with the Satanists rising to an advantage among the ashes of the other two. So I wonder if that's what's going on here.

That's only fair. And don't get me wrong, others were also very good, but Tennant just fit the part like a glove.

I'm curious what this poll means... but I would bet maybe voting certain options leads to certain events? Or maybe we become members of groups corresponding to the doctor numbers? But I don't know. I decided I wasn't going to overthink it and just answer the question straight up, but sometimes I can't help myself.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what this poll might cause game-wise?

I know it could be unlikely we'll guess correctly, so it probably is sort of pointless to speculate, but there's really nothing wrong with discussing it, especially since it appears we can change votes.

That should not be why, no, the permissions are completely separate.

Let me look into this. I was pretty thorough in making sure I accounted for everything permissions-wise when instituting this shiny new subforum, but that doesn't mean something didn't fall through the cracks.

Maybe this poll will decide what season our story is based on or what season we begin with at least?

I was actually kidding at first! I suppose they could seriously be the Silence though, which would lend to the idea of them being bad.

I just assumed it was like a check in activity really.

sabie12 wrote:Maybe this poll will decide what season our story is based on or what season we begin with at least?

Hmmm, that's a good point, maybe it has no risk/reward system at all but is merely a vehicle to drive the story. Sure, a possibility!

My instinct told me there must be some risk or reward corresponding to each option, and that whoever selects which option will receive the results predetermined with the option(s) selected... but that seems too convoluted.

Linki with Bullz: LOL, that's funny, I knew the last sentence of your post was a joke but I didn't realize before that was as well! And yeah, maybe it is just a check in activity. Given the complexity in poll options (both in magnitude and ability to select more than one), that's definitely likely.

Well in the last game I played Mongoose used some of these kinds of polls to drive the story so I figured maybe that was what they were doing here. I think it's an interesting idea.
