This game was thrilling to watch, and I'm glad I got to be part of it.

To Vro, I was really hoping you'd die because you had one of my all time favourite chaos roles I've ever gotten in a game.

A surprising amount of people didn't use their roles/rings. I especially wanted to see Wintermoot use their ring.

Yeah, I used my ring pretty much the first chance I got, because I usually don't survive long, and having one person I could be completely sure was Town seemed like it would be great no matter which abilities they brought to the game.

*giggles*

Yeahhh, I was hoping I'd die too just to try it out, it just didn't feel right to be lynched and then the wolves never chose me for a night kill. >.<
I've played a game with a Tree Stump role before, so I had a little experience with it and I tried to fit the way I played around it, it was quite fun for the most part.

I was honestly blowing a bunch of smoke when I guessed you were the Loudmouth, hoping they'd never try to kill you. I had no idea if you actually were the loudmouth or not.

Also, @Adorable Oracle Hapi, I was practically crying for help with "We need to keep our Town Cores alive at all costs." Ya failed me.

I'm nothing if not crazy and unpredictable

Hapi, I was trying my luck with the ring of time to give you an additional ring ability 

Apparently Rohan said "no."

gg town

Okay, so my two ideas to make this thing work are to either give Sauron and allies some sort of shape-shifting ability (or perhaps illusion magic), or to simply have them obscure their presence in large battle scenes through some sort of mystic fog to hide their presence. This might be a departure from lore, but I am having trouble envisioning how it's going to work otherwise.

The shapeshifting route would also require me to create new characters, or maybe just use ones not featured in the story. Either way, expect the tone of my flavour to be quite a bit darker than LotR proper.

I am also going to let it start off pretty much from the Council of Elrond. I see no reason to rehash everything in the books/movies up to that point.

Saruman and Grima Wormtongue I think would be fine to just be normal since they weren't known to be Sauron-aligned at the start, but yeah I don't know how you'll get around writing Sauron and the Nazgul.

Sauron could probably just display himself in his fair form once more as Annatar, the Bringer of Gifts. While a violation of lore - since he hasn't been able to do that since Numenor sank beneath the waves - it's still a reasonably effective tool you could make use of.
As for the Ringwraith - who I demanded be acknowledged as the Witch-King of Angmar, which was accepted by Mones - no such easy tricks, but I suppose if you were going for a darker and less lore-consistent tone anyway, you could always steal liberally from Shadow of Mordor and just have him be Talion instead, who at least looks mostly normal.

I was really hoping they'd attack me lol.
