Hi everyone,

What’s the difference in being part of the cult and being a Nazgul?

9. Cult Rules: Sauron’s convert at night does not change any powers a player may or may not have, they will continue as the same alignment and will not be informed of the conversion, unless they become a Nazgul.

The way I have read is;
Nazgul are like typical converts, they know they have been converted to the cult and likely get to enter back room and chat with Sauron and Witch-king.

Standard cult converts have no idea they have been tagged and will keep playing as they were, in ignorance to their conversion. But the invisibly tagged will count in any parity checks involving the cult.

Confused? You are young, no surprise.
It's the purpose of these divisions I can't surmise.
Plenty of time to see who is good or bad,
But best to simply speak and be glad.

Because we have majority voting rules after day 1, so the lynch could end at 4pm before someone had a chance to vote

The lynch could be at 10:10am after a majority is reached on a peeked evil. Then night happens and 2 hours later @ 12:10 next day starts and we have until 9pm to find the next lynchee.
Majority voting normally is only used to save us from long drawn out days where everybody knows who the next lynchee is and to get to the next day quickly.
4pm is only when speed lynches stop.
If we has two peeked evils, we could have a 2nd majority by 12:20, and another day would start at 2:20pm.
If we had 3 peeked evils, we could squeeze another quick lynch in before the 4pm deadline.

Everyone can be converted to the cult and if they convert everyone they win.

People who become Nazgul will actually join the team and will need to be killed to wipe them out, but you wont have to kill off non nazguls to wipe them out,

Is my read

With potentially everyone not getting a vote in before lynch, then FFAs will likely be extra important this game as it'll be all we have for research purposes.

Okay, i rephrase to better grasp full sentence now that i understand where idea is coming from.

I can agree somewhat, but if we have a dead cert, get rid of them and getting onto the next day may outweigh waiting around for everyone to say, FFA: lynch the peeked evil.

Well I was sitting at home minding my own business when what seemed like a piece of rubbish blew in through the open window of my living room. As I picked it up to throw it in the beautiful fire I had layed out for myself, I decided to be nosey and read it first. It turned out to be a piece of text from an ancient manuscript reading ::

&"*$%£"*

Which with my limited knowledge of the now extinct language, Boardsatanian, meant that I needed to undertake upon an epic journey to save the village from the hoards of wolves that have besieged it.

After a journey of some miles, uphill, in the snow, barefoot....... both ways.... I made it to the village of Bree where I chanced upon a Merry and a merry gathering that was with him.

To make a long story short (which Tolkien never did) I am here and ready to win this one for the forces of good!

FFAs usually contain three names though, so still useful to have names of who else each player thinks is sus.

For the sake of merriment, only a heart laden with woe and worry cannot rhyme.

And I am noone's chief Wendy.

Gabriel WW

Though, to add, with the Balrog being able to kill any time, it would be worth getting rid of all evils asap, by majority, rather than waiting for lynch-time alright. I presume if we lynch before their put in their kill order it would save us a player?

Eva WW

I'm not the only one who just Googled "72845328 lord of the rings", right?

Liam WW

lol

that's taking it to a new level Eva

So this conversion mechanic.

Each evening a player is marked as a cult member, but they don't know it and it only becomes apparent when cult members outnumber other teams? Have I got that right? How is such a mechanic combated?

By killing Sauron and the witch king. I assume once they are gone there can be no more conversions

Gertrude WW

Arguably by how it's worded, we find the witch king we stop the poisoning, but we need to kill them both to stop the killing and converting. (In reality that's probably not the case)

If they convert Frodo and/or boromir, we have a couple of black riders on our hands and the killing continues but the conversions stop. Seems reasonable - the forces of darkness are hardly going to rally behind khamul

Winifred WW

Evening all, just caught up. Initial thought is the conversion mechanic is extremely powerful. I remember reading writings from the first age of men- dildo bagpuss I think was the writer,- of an epic battle against a similar foe in the land of Facebook. A grisly tale of loss!

I’m assuming from some of the op that a few of the sidebar characters from the books will be around at some point- big shout out to Shelob (ya big manky eight legged killer ya)

I ain’t poet
And I know it
That makes me sad
But I’m not bad

Gertrude WW

Dude your rhymes are lame.
And I know who's to blame!
The government and their paltry syllabus
If you punch out its engine, you can kill a bus.

Jake WW

Look what you’ve done, Holly

Henry checking in, haven't read anything yet, but will get on to that soon.
