The admin thread is up!

I automatically signed up those who showed obvious interest in joining the game on this thread. So please let me know if you aren't playing after all so I can remove you from the list. Thanks!

[Naria]

The list:

Noggins
Mnemo
Lari
Eonwe

Tentative:

Legate
Gwath

Thanks to all who kept the list orderly

[Mnemosyne]

Next week (starting Sunday) is my grace week when I get a lot of time off, so it'd be an ideal time to start a game.

The game itself is quite simple; the one thing different about it is that I'd like those who play to have as their secondary focus (primary focus = winning, of course) telling a good story through the game.

If people are up for it I'll get a signup thread asap; however, I don't want to do anything to proceed until I've heard from Nog because I know we've kept him waiting for a while.

[Nessa Telrunya]

I would like to join the next WW game, although I've never played it before >_>

No panic... I have no hurry. So please go forwards Mnemo!.

And welcome Nessa! Give it a go. It's fun.

[Inziladun]

All right. You twisted my arm.
Bloody addictive game.

Heh, I'll try, but I may need help. >_<

Honestly, it's not unduly difficult. Just have a good look over the last couple of games first.
If I can figure it out, how hard can it be?

[Nessa Telrunya]

Well, I followed the previous game so I think I have it, but I'll be consulting this thread if I forget anything. It looked like a lot of fun though, so I'm excited

[Mnemosyne]

This game itself should not be too complicated, either.

And we always like having fresh blood... er...

I'll try having an admin thread up tonight so that we can get this rolling asap.

[Nessa Telrunya]

Great! I'm in! (and shaking in my swirly chair: so don't sneeze, Nessa!)

[Nogrod]

Well the last one was anything but a normal game as we didn't get to know the roles of those who died - and was thence an extra-challenge and well, different. But just check a game where the mod tells s/he'll make a pretty standard game and you can see how it goes.

And bah... I came into these games with no preparation whatsoever back then.

So just jump on board!

[Nessa Telrunya]

Alright let's do this!(Unintentionally quoted Leroy Jinkins) *stalks Mirth until admin thread appears*

[satansaloser2005]

Oooo, tasty duck. I mean, tasty Werewolf.



I'm in!

(And the sooner we start the better, 'cause I've got to take off again on the 19th)

[Mnemosyne]

...erm, except for this story to make sense all participants have to have read the books.

Besides, sally, who's going to take over when I can't for whatever reason fulfil my obligations?

[Mnemosyne]

FYI, my admin thread's up. I hope lots more sign on to play!

Okay, Mnemo's game is ending within a day, but I will not be able to host a game until the end of August or early September.

So someone should once more over-ride me. I will just be away from the 'Downs from the early August to the late August with a too tight a RL schedual...


But to those interested let me reveal some initial things from my game to come (as I have finally created the concept).

The rangers of north were a tough bunch. So a game set into their time and place (Approximately the time of Bandobras Took and the wolf-invasion in the north - and when werewolves infiltrated also the rangers) would see no one dying easily: every death – whether it be a lynch or a Night-kill – would be fought between those trying to kill someone and those trying to save the one, and who knows who comes up triumphant or gets killed in the end? It might be someone just trying to protect someone else who gets killed – or someone just supporting the kill who might die. It all will depend on the skills and luck of the stout fighters – even if the chosen one will be facing a bad situation indeed among the battle hardened company.

So it will also be a game of loyalities. You have to back your mates even if it means putting yourself at the risk… You need to be ready to put your neck forwards for someone else you feel you can trust – from Day1! And you need to choose someone every Day and Night. But as a reward, you gain experience everytime you have been in a fight and survive it, and will thus be a better fighter the next time.

So you will not only vote for someone to lynch by Days but also for someone you’d like to stand side by side if it comes to it at the deadline. Also during the Nights, you should give the mod a name whom you’d be ready to defend if s/he was attacked.

You’re a bunch of rangers of the north and not some cattle to be slaughtered. You make a fight for it Day or Night – and you face some gruesome werewolves who have infiltrated your company getting better Night by Night unless you harvest them down!


Coming to your ‘Downs werewolf in late August or early September…

[Formendacil]

It's decidedly selfish of me to say it, but I'm glad, Nog that you can't start that game until September, because there's no way I can play in the next one, and if there's any way I can play in your ranger game, I wantss it, preciouss!

Gollum!

Erm... yeah.

Seriously... it sounds intriguing indeed; though you haven't laid out the rules, there is a flair of... shiriffs maybe? Or lovers? Something nice and complicated along those lines. And the story is in Arnor with Rangers! *likes Arnor and Rangers*

And, heh, if it's in September, there's even a chance (slim, but better by a long shot than August) I'll be able to play. I'm starting my graduate studies this fall, so my daily schedule should *hopefully* be more conducive to WWing, though we'll see. More conducive, anyway, than the summer holiday schedule is proving, and September should antedate most assignments.

And I haven't even mentioned the best thing of all: if Nog is moderating then he won't be playing! This means I won't start the game with a Philosophy-of-WW archnemesis.

Of course, I realise what this means... whoever does moderate an August game will moderate an even better game. I can only concede defeat now and sit here, ( <-- Green with envy) knowing how horrid is my lot in life.

[Rikae]

Hm, the ranger-game definitely sounds intriguing.

[Hakon]

The ranger game sounds nice and I want to join in the next game if that is possible.

[Mirandir]

So unless I'm mistaken that means Lari (and her oh-so-awesome-and-humble co-moddess Mira ) are up next right? Which means I should probably shoot her a text one of these days to inform her...

[satansaloser2005]

All this potential werewolfing goodness is making me drool a little. I'm just sayin'.

[Nessa Telrunya]

Whenever the next game is, I'm up for it. After this one, it's addicting.

[Hakon]

Who comes up with the order of who mods the werewolf games?

You express interest in modding and then the list is basically updated. It's revised according to the number of times you've modded (people who haven't get first dibs) and occasionally you can sweet talk your way in if you've got a time-sensitive idea (like last November when I hosted a US politics (sort of) based game right around election time).

So basically? You want to mod, just let us know.

[Nogrod]

Although I'd say it being advisable to play a few games yourself before modding one. Modding is fun but one needs to understand the dynamics of the game somewhat before modding a game.

But welcome to play and to mod as well!

A case in point!

[wilwarin538]

My month of intense crazy business is almost over, and thankfully ending even sooner then I thought it would!!!! So I am so in for the next game, as long as it doesn't start before next monday. Not really sure where this game is at, but I'm sure I don't have to worry. Then that'll be it for me til like.......Christmas, haha. Looking forward to a bit of WW fun before real life kicks in again....

[Lariren Shadow]

So Nog, since you can't run a game until the end of August that means I'm allowed to start my game? Because I do have the time, not to mention a co-mod who can have the time as well.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Yep Lari, Nog said for somebody to take his turn, since he's busy. Since you're next, post your admin thread and let's get the party started!

[satansaloser2005]

Seconded. I wanna play!

[Mirandir]

Good, sally, cuz you were going to play whether you wanted to or not!

[satansaloser2005]

Heck, like I'm gonna complain. Heh. Is it time to start yet?

[Mirandir]

Admin thread is up! Go sign up! Wheeeeee!

[Lariren Shadow]

And Mira's post is why I have a co-mod...

[alonariel]

Sign me up! (Hopefully I'm not too late. I passed out last night when I got home from work and just now checked my email...)

[Boromir88]

Add me to the Mod-list, I finally have a preliminary idea that I adore and think I can be responsible enough to run one of these games. I will also be accepting applications for anyone who would like to co-mod.

Oooh, depending on when your game happens I would like to. If you'd have me!

[Boromir88]

Most definitely! I'm planning a basic, straightforward game - but have 2 ideas for a 'theme' I'd like to try out one of 'em. I won't work you too hard, I will mostly just ask for your help before the start in picking out teams, but that I can explain more later.

Right now, after Lari's game I think Eonwe is next. Than I will just wait on word from Nogrod. He has a certain time available to go, so if he's ready and able, take it Nog . If not, I'll go...which means I'm guessing late August-early September?

[Hakon]

I would like to. If you'd have me!

Isn't that the quote that The Phantom used to keep in his signature?
