The debating continued around the town as the death toll continued to rise. There was still some division amongst the villagers as to who the most likely candidates were, but this time nearly all of them had reached a consensus. After all, if the town drunk was a werewolf, it would not be surprising if he had killed Preston one night after being denied a drink. The day was hot, and Enipul Mai's hangover was wretched. Grumbling to himself about the state of things, he shuffled through the town, looking for a cool place to sleep through the worst of the heat (and hopefully the worst of his hangover). He eventually came across a barn on the edge of the town. The door hung open and the inside looked cool and inviting. Needing no further encouragement, Enipul wandered inside, making a small bed for himself amongst the hay where he promptly drifted off to sleep. He didn't even stir when the villagers surrounded the barn, many of them holding lit torches. They debated dragging him to the stake as they had done with Chalice, but if he was the werewolf he would no doubt violently defend himself. They were still in debate when a nameless member of the crowd threw a torch into the barn. After a brief pause, the rest of the villagers followed suit, before backing away from the rush of heat as the barn quickly caught fire. They hovered uncertainly around the flaming building, more certain than they had been the last time, but still uncertain of their decision. And Enipul Mai's screams of pain when he finally awoke did nothing to allay their fears... OOC: Cryptomancer/Enipul Mai was a Villager. Better luck next time. Night Phase. Specials, PM me.

It was late. Long after both Samuel and Millie had turned in for the night. Try as he might, however, Samuel still couldn't sleep. He lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling as his mind turned over the recent events. They were no closer to catching the wolves, and the thought of having to endure these attacks every full moon was enough to chill his blood. Samuel sighed and crossed his arms behind his head. He'd heard a rumour once that silver weapons were the most effective to kill werewolves, maybe he should try and make some. But it was only a rumour, and silver was too expensive and hard to come by - was it worth the risk? Then there was the fact that any weapon to use against the wolves meant you had to be within striking distance of them...but still, it was something to consider. The creak of an opening door in his house snapped Samuel out of his thoughts as he sat up in bed. In the silence, he could hear the quiet pad of feet move in his house. Had Millie gotten out of bed? Or was it intruders? Rising quietly from his own, Samuel moved stealthily to his bedroom door and opened it carefully. He looked out into the hallway and, seeing nothing, hesitantly ventured further. Moving quietly, Samuel entered the kitchen and noticed that the back door was open. Frowning in confusion, he moved to close it, wondering if he'd accidentally left it unlatched before turning in. It didn't seem likely, but it wasn't like werewolves could open doors now, could they? He was about to close it when he noticed a hunched figure a few feet away from the door. In the dark, it was impossible to make out any features. "Millie?" Samuel asked quietly, taking a step outside. The figure raised its head, revealing pointed ears and glowing eyes as it bared its teeth. Samuel barely had time to react before he was hit in the back by the second wolf. As he felt the strong jaws close on the back of his neck, severing his spine, Samuel's last thought was of Millie. He prayed that she would remain safe in her room, that she wouldn't investigate the growls before, mercifully, everything went black. OOC: Savage Dragon/Samuel was a Villager. It is now Day Phase. Lynch away.

On account of it being a long and frustrating day and my sense of humour being sent away to the cleaners, and because certain players have decided to make life difficult for me notthatI'mnaminganyone... No lynch. The villagers couldn't make up their mind and the sun's set so it's now Night Phase. Specials, PM me. And next time - please don't vote for someone *just* to make my job difficult.

Congratulations to the wolves on their first kill. It is now day phase for roughly 48 hours. Cast your votes! Updated list below: Patrick – Xander, a settled artist with a drug problem Tanuchan – Millicent Avery, the cook at Preston’s tavern Lord Panther – Preston, the town bartender, Villager, Wolf Kill 1 Savage Dragon – Samuel McGreggor, the town blacksmith Cryptomancer – Enipul Mai, the town “philosopher” (drunk ) Giles Jordan – Giles I.

Preston brooded to himself as he wiped the tables down at his tavern. Two people dead already, one of them by the townsfolk's own hands. It was bad enough that the werewolf had returned, but that they had burned one of their own at the stake... Sighing as he finished the last table, Preston returned to the bar and began to finish wiping down the glasses. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice when the door creaked open. It wasn't until a cold breeze came in that Preston frowned and looked up from his task. The mug in his hand fell to the floor and shattered as Preston saw the two wolves in the doorway, everything about them feral and wild except for a certain knowing look in their eyes. An awareness not owned by the true, wild wolf. "Werewolves," Preston hissed, backing against the wall before opening his mouth to cry out for help or attention. He'd barely drawn breath when the first one moved, leaping effortlessly across the bar and lunging for his throat. Preston managed to get his hand up in front of his face, crying out in pain as the werewolf's teeth closed on his wrist, pulling Preston down while the other one made a lunge for his stomach. Preston felt something tearing, felt pain, but was only dimly aware of it as the first wolf went again for his throat, this time succeeding. His world faded slowly, painfully, to the sound of growling and tearing flesh. His remains were discovered the next morning, scattered to the farthest reaches of the tavern's room, the bloodied wolf tracks disappearing into the dewy grass... OOC: Lord Panther/Preston was a Villager. Day Phase for 48 hours

End of day phase. Votes came to a tie and a coin toss. Night phase for 24 hours. Specials, PM me with your selections. Edit: Okay. I just made a stupid error and accidentally copied from the wrong list, revealing everyone's roles. I apologise for this error. Because roles had nothing to do with the first lynch vote, that will remain, but special roles will be rerolled and sent out. Thank you to Giles for pointing this out to me. Everyone else, I apologise for my own stupidity. Fixed list below Patrick – Xander, a settled artist with a drug problem Tanuchan – Millicent Avery, the cook at Preston’s tavern Lord Panther – Preston, the town bartender Savage Dragon – Samuel McGreggor, the town blacksmith Cryptomancer – Enipul Mai, the town “philosopher” (drunk ) Giles Jordan – Giles I. Crane, the town school teacher Hjolnai – Ahadrion Karios, a foreigner Mithrandin – Jonathan Powers, a farmer Venefyxatu – Ezekiel Llewellyn, a disgraced nobleman Harmony – Miss 'Sisie' Susanna Caroline Dean, the Miller’s daughter Dragonqueen – Jeremy 'Jem' Williams, the teenage son of a clerk Gabrielcharon - Chalice Tantrella, a woman without a name, Villager, Lynched Day 1 Edit Edit: New roles have just been PM'd out. I ran the numbers with Gabrielcharon included and she was still a villager so nothing changes. Night phase. Game on!

Amidst all the debate, the day passed, until the setting sun brought with it a new urgency. Find the wolf before the sun sets. An unspoken goal, but one felt by all. If the wolf wasn’t caught before nightfall, who knew what would happen next? But who to target? Who to accuse? Who was the most likely wolf? Names were cast about, two in particular, until the town was almost divided by it. Eventually, however, they decided on the one who was known to sleep under the moon at night. She always had been a bit strange, they told one another as they built the pyre and erected the stake. They repeated this so called evidence as Chalice was found and dragged screaming to the stake. “No! No I’m not the wolf!” she sobbed as the fire was lit. The villagers all stayed as the flames crept higher, devouring the wood before finding her flesh. Chalice’s screams and pleas echoed into the night as the villagers watched her burn, grimacing slightly at the stench of burning flesh. They told themselves this was for the greater good. And yet...even as Chalice expired, she had not changed form. They had no proof to allay the worry that they had made a mistake. The howl that filled the air as everyone returned to their homes that night only confirmed the mistake. OOC: Votes led to a tie, broken by the flip of a coin. Chalice, although a bit strange, was a harmless villager. Better luck next time. It is now Night Phase. Specials, PM me your choices.

Day phase begins! You have 48 hours to cast your votes. Roles have been PM'd out - we have 2 wolves, a seer and a baner Good luck!

Darkness fell upon the town, and along with it the sounds of villagers turning in for the night. Dogs and cats whined in complaint as they were put outside, children kissed their parents goodnight, lovers embraced... And as the full moon appeared from behind the clouds, a chilling howl rose in the air. Most ignored it, or told themselves it was just someone's dog - perhaps catching the scent of a rabbit or a female in heat. Others suspected, but refused to give into their fears. As one though, the villagers all told themselves that it was nothing to worry about. Just a noise in the night. And they believed that until the next morning, when they discovered the body of Johnny Caster, the shepherd. He was lying sprawled in the town square, his throat and innards torn from his body. No matter how much they wanted to deny it the night before, now the villagers had no excuse but to acknowledge... The werewolf had returned. OOC: GAME TIME We're now in Day phase and roles are being PM'd out. 48 hours to cast your votes...

Game Thread's up! I'll be running 48 hour day phases, 24 hour night phases, but giving everyone 48 hours to play before the killing starts Roles will be posted after the first NPC kill (Edited) Players list: Patrick – Xander, a settled artist with a drug problem Tanuchan – Millicent Avery, the cook at Preston’s tavern Lord Panther – Preston, the town bartender Savage Dragon – Samuel McGreggor, the town blacksmith Cryptomancer – Enipul Mai, the town “philosopher” (drunk ) Giles Jordan – Giles I.

Asmenfarmod was a small town, but rarely was it quiet. Industrious, friendly, it was the type of town where children were raised together, secrets were nigh on impossible to keep, and routine ruled the daily lifestyle. It was also a town, however, that years ago had dreaded the full moon and the beast it brought with it. An old superstition, and old fear of the lycanthrope from generations past. Even though the fabled beast had not been seen or heard from for years, the older villagers remained nervous of those few nights every month. Yet, as the first warm days of spring entered the town this year, it was hard for even the most fearful to remember to lock their doors at night. In fact, this year, no one even noticed the lunar cycle as it approached another full moon... OOC: You know the drill. 48 hours to introduce yourself and get to know people. In two days, the first NPC kill, and the roles will be cast

Current numbers at 11 - list below I'm gonna give it to the end of the weak cos I'd like at least 12 but if not I should manage to get this rolling by the weekend... Patrick – Xander, a settled artist with a drug problem Tanuchan – Millicent Avery, the cook at Preston’s tavern Lord Panther – Preston, the town bartender Savage Dragon – Samuel McGreggor, the town blacksmith Cryptomancer – Enipul Mai, the town “philosopher” (drunk ) Giles Jordan – Giles I. Crane, the town school teacher Hjolnai – Ahadrion Karios, a foreigner Mithrandin – Venefyxatu – Harmony – Miss 'Sisie' Susanna Caroline Dean, the Miller’s daughter Dragonqueen – Jeremy 'Jem' Williams, the teenage son of a clerk

Well! I'd say it's high time we had another one of these games, don't you all? And since it's been so long since the last one, I think it's time we went back to the beginning format. So, instead of a theme, it's just good old villagers being tormented by werewolves For those unaccustomed to the game, it's relatively simple. You have your villagers, your wolves, and depending on numbers your seer and baner. The game rotates between Day Phase and Night Phase. During the Night Phase, the wolves come out and kill, the seer picks a player to see if they're more than they seem, and the baner picks a player to protect. During the day, unless the wolves' kill was unsuccessful, the players all come together and lynch one of their own in an attempt to thwart the beasts. The game ends when either all of the wolves have been lynched and the villagers win, or the number of wolves equals the number of villagers, resulting in the wolves winning. The number of wolves depends on playing numbers, and the game's always more fun with more people. So come one come all! Sign up everyone! That includes you too, newbies! Signup will be open for at least a week but maybe longer. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or just ask around

I'll get a signup set up then What number are we up to? Edit: Guessing number XL - someone correct me if it's wrong Sign-up here!

If no one else wants to mod I'd be willing to run one. Can't really think of a theme atm though so might just go back to good old fashioned wolves in a village. Thoughts? PS: I do apologize for my long absence. A bad semester combined with having to move house has left me with hardly any time to myself...

Is this a commission style job where you pay-by-project? or is it more salary based? (Also - wth is a 1099? )

Van Helsing <-- RT Movie Review with Special Guest Blade. I think this movie's already been ragged enough in this thread, but when it started playing on tv late last night it seemed too good an opportunity to pass up hassling it... So many myths destroyed. So much fail. So many bunnies...

Hollow Man 2 <--RT Movie Review Sequel to the 2000 flick starring Kevin Bacon. I...no. Just no.

Stigmata RT Review here I've never been much of a fan of religious films, to be honest. Especially the horror kind. My own opinions aside, while I concede it is occasionally done well (The Omen) or justifyably creepy (The Exorcist), most of the time it just seems to be the director trying to come up with as many religious ideas and shock moments to squick those that have any beliefs. And most of the time they're too busy trying to squick their target audience that they screw up the facts. This film, I have to say, wasn't much better. Random girl starts experiencing Stigmata, priest investigates, creepy stuff happens, etc etc etc. Some okay cinematography, average acting, fairly decent gore, but a pretty weak story overall. So I guess I'd have to say my overall rating is...eh.

Something Weird Click here for a RT review I don't even know what to say about this movie. Classic HGH, I suppose. Interesting, some good moments, but at times too much dull conversation and an almost throwaway ending. Some guy gets his face badly burnt and psychic powers as a result. An ugly witch offers him his pretty face back if he'll bed her. Something about a serial killer...that's all I really remember I'm afraid... It did have entertaining moments though, it was just...very aptly named.

I know it's been reviewed to pieces here and I don't think I need to add any further insult to it (although it is entertaining)... But here's a RT Review of Snakes on a Plane if anyone's interested...
