After much delay, it is here! Welcome to Werewolf XXIII: A Lord of the Rings Adventure!

Rules

1) The first Day Phase will be roughly 72 hours. Each Day Phase afterward will be 48 hours, with each night phase being 24 hours. Phases will start and end in Pacific Standard Time. At the end of each Day Phase, the night phase will immediately start when the results from the Day Phase are posted, the same goes for the Night Phase.

2) When players are killed, they will be invited to a PM to spectate the events of the game and talk amongst themselves. Players are allowed ONE goodbye post, headered with "DEAD" in the thread once they're killed before moving to the PM. Dead players are not allowed to hint or make references to any roles they have any knowledge of (IE a dead seer revealing scum).

3) Hinting at information gained during night phases is allowed, revealing information is not. Both revealing and hinting roles is not allowed.

4) You will have one chance to vote "No Lynch" in the game.  You may also choose to simply not vote to avoid using your "No Lynch" vote, but that can make you look equally suspicious. A vote for yourself counts as a vote for “No Lynch”. Not voting 2 day phases in a row will result in removal from the game. A substitute player may be placed in your position.

5) To vote during each day phase, please bold your choice for the host to see, an example being Vote: Red Mones.

6) During each night phase, Power Roles will send the Game Host a PM with their choices that night. 

7 ) As mentioned in other Werewolf tip/trick topics, it is highly...highly recommended to not edit your posts (the game host being the only exception). Editing posts can be seen as withholding important information, and thus seen as incredibly suspicious. So while it isn't against the rules persay, just don't do it. It's very encouraged to keep your posts as is, regardless of any typos.

8 ) Rings are special, one-shot, abilities that are used during night phases. There are some exceptions, but generally, Ring abilities override role abilities.

9) Extended periods (Two, full, day-night cycles) of inactivity with no posts and no use of your role will result in removal from the game. A substitute player may be placed in your position.

10) While you are away from the main thread (i.e., You are in the wolf chat) you may NOT screenshot anything. Such posts here will be deleted and may result in you being removed from the game.

11) Do not communicate with each other outside of the game regarding your roles or the events of the game.

12) Fellowship = Villagers. Sauron's Forces = Wolves.

There are 4 members of Sauron's forces.
Good luck, and have fun!

Day One begins with this post and will end in just under 72 hours on Wednesday, December 9th at roughly 12 PM PST.

QUICK NOTE: 7 players received PMs without explicitly stating their alignments. Those players received new PMs, with their alignments. No other info has changed.

Quick question before the murdering commences: will there be a roles list?

Quick question before the murdering commences: will there be a roles list?

No roles list, no role reveals, and no sharing information gained from night-time abilities. There is darkness across the land.

Are we allowed to speculate about the roles here?

Yes

Let's get this party started with a party at Bilbo's place!

Surely only orcs and their kin can have a party under these circumstances.

Vote: Pengu

Only a follower of Sauron would forget that a LOTR adventure begins with a party.

Vote: Laurentus

Wouldn’t want to impose on good ole Bilbo like that, though. Perhaps an outdoor party... with fireworks!

Vote: Laurentus

Nobody needs a budget party

Vote: Pengu

I know we go through some version of this conversation on the first day of every game, but do we think the odds are high that it's either of them just because they were the first to vote?

I wouldn't say so necessarily, in some cases sure, but this is Lau and Pengu we're talking about. I'm not going to overthink it too much. For now I'm just going to enjoy the party.

There is some method to my madness. It was mostly an RVS vote, sure, but it is also all too easy to hide as a Wolf by just throwing out humorous references to the books while appearing active.

This presumes I had read the books...
