Is there gonna be a Forbidden Thread for this game? If so, I’ll supply the nachoes. 😉 It’ll be fun to read the Forbidden Thread _during_ the game, instead of after. ---

Hmm… I’d like to play. And if there’s not room, I’d like to be an alternate. I promise to play nice. ---

I think I’d like to GM one of these some time. A Tolkien theme would be nice. I’d also like to join in this one but next week I may be incommunicado as the family’s off to Centre Parcs and I can’t tell from the brochure if there’s internet access on site. If it’s not OK for me to be out for 4-5 calendar days then that’s fine by me. ---

Drat! Didn’t see the thread until all the places were gone \. Any chance of a spot on the waiting list as an alternate? I promise not to lurk. ---

**ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies:** > [@](#): > > Not that it really matters (since I already made the cut) but I only played in the original game, not the second game/trainwreck that is still currently ongoing. Whoops! I had you mixed up with **One and Only Wanderers** , who made a _very_ brief appearance last game. My apologies. Player (and alternate) list coming up next post. ---

Good luck to you all… And hey, why is our game being called a trainwreck!?! Although, 20 players is far, far more sensible in hindsight… ---

Blaster Master 3. tirial 4. Malacandra If anyone else wants to be put on the reserve list, let me know. My judge has a brief hearing right now, but afterwards I’ll be back with a description of the various possible roles and such. After that, I’ll PM everyone with their role assignments. When I do, write me back to confirm…and once everyone’s done that, the game will be afoot. ---
