Bump! I even put up a sample PM for you guys.

[yuma]

I'll official in (just checking that I can mail-mi. I know I talked with you on some RMM roles in the past and hope that doesn't disqualify me from this game)

I really want you to join, but I would advise you at least complete 1 normal game first.

Btw, that book has an awesome ending.

Yeah, even a few days of Adventure Time would serve you well.

mail-mi...HOW role madness will this be?

mail-mi...HOW role madness will this be?

How do i put this.... It's stat-eligible, if yuma decides to do the RMMs he's specified. But not too un-crazy that it would be normal.

[shraeye]

dang; i like the wiggity-wack ones the best.

Well there will still be some "wiggity-wack"ness of course.

How does yuma determine if it's stat eligible? There's definitely some weird roles and interactions, but I don't think there's anything that's considered bastardly. (No alignment switching anyways, which is one of my least favourite things to have in a game.)

yuma doesn't track RMM. Full stop.

yuma doesn't track RMM. Full stop.

I remember him saying at one point if he did track RMM games, they would be ones without weird things like dice rolling or The One Ring. This one, like LOTR1, doesn't have any weird things like that.

I was assuming the whole time that yuma wasn't going to track this. We tried for something balanced, but there wasn't any thought on my end of the creation about having it tracked for stats.

He isn't. I'm just saying that if he did track RMM games, then this would be eligible.

I do!

(Speaking of which, I need to input more stats...)

I don't know why I said Lord of Chaos. I'm actually in the middle of Fires of Heaven. This book is apparently when everyone slows way down, although I haven't had a problem with it yet.

Having quickly looked at the plot summaries of the series, I don't think it slows down until Lord of Chaos, then it picks up again in Winter's Heart. That's not to say that the books in between are bad, or lack plot.

Very minor spoilery hints at what might happen in later books:
There's still lots of things happening they just don't seem to progress as rapidly as the previous ones. At that point I'd say the series seems to actually start wrapping up some of the many plotlines introduced in earlier books. I'd say that around Lord of Chaos it is more accurate to say that the books start to suffer from character bloat. Too many perspective characters that are all doing different things, so the story must jump from person to person who are in totally different settings that need to be explained. Around Winter's Heart they stop introducing new people and start tying up loose ends (some people die, some people just end up in the same room more often, some people's perspective's become less crucial to the story and are thus not told as often). There's a little bit of back and forth in the series where the occasional new character line pops up after that, but it seems more managed. Around Lord of Chaos it starts being problematic, continues to until Winter's Heart where it seems to get under control again. All that said if you like a character they are written consistently throughout so their story lines will continue to interest you even if you occasionally feel like maybe there's a bit much going on.

Yep. I don't track RMM games, partially because some are wacky, but more importantly because RMM games are played differently. For me they are like the All-Star game, or pre-season or FIFA friendlies. For example, I play much more loose and free (also post a lot less) and just don't get nearly as competitive and so I don't like the idea of mixing stats with normal games.

[faust]

I'm only in one mafia game, how can that be?

Winter's Heart is where the character slog ends, and the story slog begins. Crossroads of Twilight is just so slow, it's literally "Mat continues to try to blah blah blah, Perrin continues to try to blah blah blah, Egwene continues to try to blah blah blah, Elayne continues to try to blah blah blah..." Almost nothing important happens in that book.
