pms are sent to everyone save for those who have not sent me a chlass choice yet. When I wake up tomorrow morning, i'll randomyl assign classes if I have not gottten pms yet.

In the meantime, Night Zero has begun, and I'll take night orders. It neds at 1 am EST in three ish hours

Autumn · 01-23-2013, 09:48 PM

Since there's no cultists among us yet, should we instead take bets on who will go insane first?

CrimsonFox · 01-23-2013, 09:50 PM

I think mau is a cultist.

Jacob Typer · 01-23-2013, 09:52 PM

Well, let's get started then.

If i recall correctly, it's traditional to say "I am not a Cultist." What do you say in a game where everyone starts out clean?

CrimsonFox · 01-23-2013, 10:00 PM

pass the potato chips?

fontisian · 01-23-2013, 10:02 PM

The whispers haunt me at night, depriving me of sleep.
"You could have saved her."

Hi everyone. It's nice to meet you. I'm not a cultist?

Coffee Warlord · 01-23-2013, 10:04 PM

OH MY GOD, THE VOICES. STOP THE VOICES. THEY TELL ME TO KILL, THEY TELL ME TO TOUCH MYSELF IN NAUGHTY PLACES, THEY TELL ME KNOCK KNOCK JOKES.

SAVE ME!

Hi.

CrimsonFox · 01-23-2013, 10:08 PM

And these are people starting at max sanity...:P

Sanity is such a relative term.

Abe Sargent · 01-23-2013, 10:18 PM

I will run Night Zero a bit early if the orders are all in and th epeople who pm me are okay with it.

Jacob Typer · 01-23-2013, 10:34 PM

Well, its already past my bedtime, so I'll be back in the morning. I really look forward to this game. I'm excited!

Autumn · 01-23-2013, 10:38 PM

Let's lynch Jacob first!

Autumn · 01-23-2013, 10:41 PM

I'm off as well. Interested to see how things start tomorrow. Abe always has great and surprising stuff in store for us.

Abe Sargent · 01-23-2013, 11:25 PM

My games are abou tgiving you the right sticks and then standign back and hope you build a long cabin.

ntndeacon · 01-23-2013, 11:28 PM

We all need to read the Sanity clause again....

Wait a second we can't do that!!!

There's no such thing as Sanity Claus!!

Abe Sargent · 01-24-2013, 01:03 AM

Every time a train passes through Thurmond you feel something deep in what some might optimistically call your soul. It’s a bit sooty with a lifetime of use by the sort of people that live in Thurmond. The roar of the train follows the herald of a whistle, and then the train rounds the last hill. It pulls into the town and stops to unload flotsam and jetsam. The detritus of modern life. People and parcels fall away from the mighty engine like leeches off a dead carcass.

What really strikes you about Thurmond is the nestling between the bosoms of earth, bound to each other by the tether of the New River. The Appalachian hills and you have a lot in common. You are both old, past your prime, and have seen a lot in your day. All of you were once younger, firmer, happier. It might once have been a transparent joy covering a field of fetid foulness that clogs your sinful heart. That veneer has since been stripped away, leaving naught but the dregs of what once could be called human. But now, is merely the shadow thereof.

Thurmond is at the crossroads of modernity, with steel train over steel track still bright and gleaming at night time under the twinkling moon.

As you pause at the glistening reflected starshine, you suddenly hear a soul-rending male scream that staggers everybody within roughly a half mile away. All you move out and gather to see what made that sound.

You arrive at large rock, about the size of a house, bent in a rough triangular shape by the glaciers that once ruled here and left behind these calling cards. This was a proud rock, and it did not bend easily. Long gashes of ice are still able to be made out in the moonlight thousands of years later.

As you peer closer, you spy a hand of someone handing over-top the rock. All you can make out is a palm and five fingers.

A band of seventeen of you climbs the rock to witness what made that noise. It was a man, and what he cried was obviously more than any death-knell you have previously encountered. It had the mark of the loss of innocence, the loss of sanity in it. Staring at you is a roughly hexagonal hole that is stabbed into the center of the heart. Where the heart once was, there is nothing but blacked flesh, and no blood is on or around the wound or body.

You look at the face and recognize the person. You bring the body back to the morgue for tomorrow, but all of you are frightened by what you witnessed here. It was something beyond normal ken. It was something seditious and vile.

You have all lost 1 Corruption Point.

Jacob Typer has died

Night One has Ended, Day One has begun

Instructions for Task One will be given in the morning. Because there is no lynch tomorrow, I am moving it up to an early evening deadline – more info will follow later.

Abe Sargent · 01-24-2013, 01:12 AM

We will end the Day One Action at 5 pm EST and all actions will need to be in by then. Find out what it is, in the morning.....

Simbo Klice · 01-24-2013, 01:15 AM

Alright, here. And of course that's short for "Here I am, Rock You Like A Hurricane".

CrimsonFox · 01-24-2013, 02:19 AM

Sadly, I was right.

Darth Vilus · 01-24-2013, 02:31 AM

Jacob Typer got killed already? Oh wow, that's sooooooo cold

Darth Vilus · 01-24-2013, 02:32 AM

Shouldve at least given him til Day 3 me thinks

JAG · 01-24-2013, 05:32 AM

Wow, that sucks.

mauchow · 01-24-2013, 06:28 AM

yeah thats mean as heck.

tyketime · 01-24-2013, 07:20 AM

That's just down right cold. "It" is a mean bastard.

Coffee Warlord · 01-24-2013, 08:55 AM

I dunno, that's almost a fitting way to enter the world of WW.

Abe Sargent · 01-24-2013, 09:04 AM

Day One Task:

Today you are going to investigate the death and person of Jacob Typer. Who was he? Who wanted him dead? How did he die?

Day One Task - Research Death of Jacob Typer

6 units of Researching papers at Library and what passes for courthouse
6 units of Interviewing other people
6 units of Investigating physical area for clues

All of these tasks count as investigation takes for a Detective, and for today, any Detective doing work on any of these will count double.

booradley · 01-24-2013, 09:10 AM

Note to self: Do NOT talk about being excited.

Coffee Warlord · 01-24-2013, 09:11 AM

So do we PM you with our actions, or post in thread?

Abe Sargent · 01-24-2013, 09:12 AM

Classes have been posted for all

INVESTIGATE AREA FOR CLUES

Coffee Warlord · 01-24-2013, 09:20 AM

Ah, we do know each others classes. Cool.

Well, seeing as it fits the best with my class, easy choice for me...

Research at Library

Coffee Warlord · 01-24-2013, 09:27 AM

I dunno how many people got random classes, but we actually managed a very impressive spread.

JAG · 01-24-2013, 09:27 AM

Wow, we did a pretty darn good job spreading out class selections without coordinating.

I recommend we have all our antiquarians search the library since that seems to be up their alley moreso than interviewing people or investigating a crime scene, unless it could be useful to have one at the crime scene in case something old there is found.

Should we send a soldier to each destination in case a battle is a possibility or maybe just focus them on the non-library locations since those seem like a better possibility for combat? (especially the scene of the crime)

Research papers at library and what passes for courthouse

Abe Sargent · 01-24-2013, 09:34 AM

Research - 2
Interview - 0
Investigate - 1

So Far

I'll figure out 2x for any Detectives later.

CrimsonFox · 01-24-2013, 09:36 AM

are there missions or are these things the only thing.

Jacob Typer · 01-24-2013, 09:38 AM

Ummm....okay....wow...

See you next game?

Autumn · 01-24-2013, 09:47 AM

WTF, for real? I assume that was random.org, but I've got a few words to say to random.org. Way to screw up our Werewolf forum you heartless bastard.

I don't know what happened, Jacob, but hopefully it won't put you off of WErewolf. In a regular game we honestly wouldn't have voted you off day one, we always give the new guys a bit of rope. You just stumbled into an oddity.
