Agreed on random.org being no fun

I second that notion.

As for the protectors - Having protection at all may be a bit dated. Lite works fine without it, Big may get a refresh out of not having protectors. Sure, this means there never will be one 100% trusted person for your JL to do outings through, but isn't that the point?

How about having the doc be a type of protector that causes someone's death to be delayed by a day, rather than actually saving them permanently? It nerfs the role into oblivion, sure.. but is that a bad thing?
Of course, how that works out with blesses and curses is a bit of an open question. Or what happens when the game ends before he actually keels over, dead .. :p

Interesting idea. But what would you give the goodies in return for this nerf, to preserve the balance?

Agreed. I've been saying for a while there is no reason for a GA, a doctor could be used, perhaps should be in a large game, but in a game with <30 players there's no need for him either.
About the doctor keeping someone alive for one day, I don't see that adding anything of interest to the game. I would just remove him altogether.

@sedracus: decrease the number of baddies slightly. Nothing more complex than that is needed.
 
Werewolf Lite CCXX: The Fall of Gondolin

​

It is more than 6500 years before Frodo Baggins set out on his journey to Mount Doom. In the unnumbered years of the First Age, the elves and their allies fight a hopeless war against Morgoth, a fallen god who was the first Dark Lord. They look to take back by force the three Silmarils - jewels of unsurpassed beauty - that he stole. Having forsaken the council of the gods and slain their kin in their pursuit of vengeance, they have been doomed to fight this war alone.

The war is now coming to an end. Betrayed by men, the final attempt of the elves to overthrow the fortress of Morgoth became known as the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. The forces of evil swept over the land, and one by one the great fortresses of the elves fell - some to dragons and orcs, others to betrayal and fighting within. Now all that remains is the hidden city of Gondolin, ruled by the High King of the elves, Turgon.

Morgoth turned his will to finding this city, and soon determined that it was hidden somewhere in the mountains of the north. Before long his spies captured Maeglin, one of the elves of the city, while he was out looking for ore to mine far from its hidden valley. Maeglin gladly offered to give Morgoth the location of the city - in exchange for lordship over it and the hand of Turgon's daughter and only child, Idril. Now Morgoth could destroy the last of those who opposed him. Maeglin returned to the city, keeping secret his betrayal and preparing his followers to turn on it from within.

In dreams the god of waters spoke to Turgon, telling him the time had come to abandon Gondolin and seek atonement with the gods of the west. Yet out of pride of the splendour of the city he had built, Turgon refused. And so Gondolin was set upon unawares by orcs and dragons and wolves and balrogs, at a time of feasting and celebration.

And so you stand, great heroes both man and elf, fighting desperately to allow a few to escape through secret tunnels beneath the city - or to betray your kin in hope of the power Morgoth has offered you.

Does anyone else absolutely hate this change to the forum? I can no longer favorite a topic on a new page to overwrite the old favorite file on a page before, instead it favorites as "Topic Name - Page x". I can't view topics on my mobile because the page number doesn't come up. I can't view Subscriptions on my mobile, simply because I can't. And to get to Subscriptions, I have to go through My Profile! What were they thinking?

I despise it. And they still haven't restored the ROFL emoticon.
 
I'm hoping it's not so much a change as a "whoops we broke it, hang tight until we fix it".

Stop using the mobile skin. It's slow and clumsy.
 
What decent wall of text poster doesn't regularly save their planned out posts?
