One thing’s for sure, though: I’m gonna do my best not to be as damn wordy as I was last time around. Given the amount of thought and analysis that’s been put into these games by experienced SDMB players over the last couple of years, I’m essentially a newbie. ---

Have a good game. … and the proper way to cook a Hobbit is to curry it. ---

Ahem, small notice folks: I’m changing 2 rules before the game starts. I think they are relatively minor, but I’ve decided it. Please take your complaints either way and shove them deep down inside yourself. I mean that with love. 🙂 \*\*1. Night Zero will indeed allow strategy talk. Only Night Zero. It still has no powers/actions of any kind. 1. Editing is up to you. I will allow it in this game and leave it to the players to decide how to handle. Up to the players to decide what to do if an edit occurs. \*\* That is all. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Editing is up to you. I will allow it in this game and leave it to the players to decide how to handle. Up to the players to decide what to do if an edit occurs I suggest we feed them to the Balrog. Or Old Man Willow. Whichever is easier. ---

Well, that worked out quite nicely. I’m planning to send out the role PM’s tonight, but I can’t do it this minute. \*\*Once I finish sending out the role PM’s, I’d like everyone to confirm ASAP. I’m planning to start a short Night Zero tomorrow, 24 hours or so after I send out the role PM’s. I’ll update here once the roles start going out and when I finish. Roles and the order they go out in are completely random.\*\* Oh, I still need a few subs, just to have a good list, so go ahead and let me know in here if you want to be on the sub list.
