I saw the same trailer and had exactly the same reaction as you all.

Is it just me, or do Lovers make it all much more complicated?

Nogrod · 12-19-2010, 06:16 PM

The list we have is a bit confusing (go look at the previous page), but I think I'm not too much stretching it if I say it would be my turn now...

Anyway, we should consider the Christmas holidays eg. we probably shouldn't think of beginning a game before the holidays are over.

How are your scheduals? Should we try to begin the next one before the New Year - or should we postpone it to the beginning of January?

I was thinking about a fairly ordinary game for a change. I mean really, a basic game.

So what do you think?

Hey Nog, did you ever do a philosophy-themed game? Perhaps I missed it.

Basic game sounds good and, to be honest, I can play anytime - holiday or no.

Seconded.

Mänwe · 12-20-2010, 02:51 PM

Well it's been..oh at least two years since i've played- i'd be up for offering myself up as lupine fodder whenever it suits the majority.

Hey, if this is not a wraith from the deep past - welcome back! Not sure if you remember me, but I remember you from my very first game (which was seemingly your last?). Anyway, great to see you around - hope to play with you sometime, while you are here...

That said, concerning the debate above, I probably won't be playing if any game is going on during the holiday, but after the New Year, maybe...

A basic game after Christmas? I'd like to be in!

Shastanis Althreduin · 12-20-2010, 11:40 PM

The holiday isn't going to matter much for me either. Sign me up whenever.

Loslote · 12-21-2010, 12:00 AM

I'm good for during or after the holidays.

Kitanna · 12-21-2010, 05:54 AM

I haven't been on in ages. I'm rusty. But I'd like to join in the next game if room is still available.

wilwarin538 · 12-21-2010, 08:33 AM

I'm in, next couple weeks are wide open for me, perfect time for a game!

Nessa Telrunya · 12-21-2010, 09:02 AM

I'm down for a game anytime.

Nogrod · 12-21-2010, 09:08 AM

So a basic game after Christmas? Starting the next week that is?

I'd say we go for that.

I'll come up with a thread for any discussions any day now (as I just come up with a name for the game).

So good to see unexpected veterans showing around!

Well we had this game of Psychotic Penguins with Lommy (the first one we ever modded) back in 2006 where I was responsible for the Night-kills. .. They did include "body and soul separated by Cartesian Dualism" and "brains exploded after entering a vicious regression concerning the possible infiniteness of self-reflective consciousness"

But yes, it wasn't actually a theme in a strong way... I'll try to come up with one this time. Maybe I'll make you all as famous philosophers and throw you in the Middle-Earth?

No!!! Please don't do that, otherwise I'd be really really really really disappointed if I have to miss that one!!!

(I mean, just the very idea gets my brain spinning...)

Let's see if you guys could be able to join even if you're here Legate...

On general terms, it will take some days to get the "roster" full, especially as the holidays are coming, so I'd be surprised if we'd start anywhere like early next week. It will probably take around the New Year to start. And if people thought it a good idea we could make a a longer D/N -circle around the New Year to ease any New Year's partying.

YES!

It's not such a crazy idea. Did you ever see the list of 'philosophy deaths' that was going around the internet? My favourite was: Thales - drowned.

Well turns out i'll now be spending New Years in London and so won't be around the net from the 29th til the 5th, so count me out of any earlish starts!

@ Legate, Lómi, good to see you both again.

Legate, I remember you more for your other posts around the forum then that particularly WW game..it being my last (and first too!) was due to unpleasant circumstances!

Nogrod · 12-21-2010, 05:57 PM

The starting date will be decided when we have enough players, but I'll put you down in as a maybe for now... It would be fun to see you in a game after a long pause to be sure.

True, true, I remember you mostly from elsewhere too, but Werewolf-wise, since it was my first game, I still have you in fresh memory, even though it was rather short.

Mänwe · 12-22-2010, 04:32 PM

It was short..and I hope in the future I can reprise my role as WW and kill some of you!

No comment. But, hey, it wasn't my fault... whatever

Thinlómien · 01-08-2011, 06:56 AM

Yes, I know it's pitiful to start posting on this thread within a day of your death in the most recent game.

And yes, I know Nog's game is probably going to still go on for some time.

But I'm still posting here, because unless someone knows more than I do, we are rather ignorant as for the modding list. And somebody has to mod after Nog and it would be good if they had time to plan.

So, who's next?

The ones whom I can see expressing interest lately-ish but haven't modded are
Wilwa and Glirdan
Sally
Folwren
Rikae

Does any of you want to mod next?

Are there any new volunteers?

Inziladun · 01-08-2011, 05:14 PM

There are people ahead of me on the list, but I have an idea for a basic game. February would mark the six-month period since I last modded, so it should work out.

Loslote · 01-08-2011, 06:39 PM

I have an idea for a game I've been working on. So... go ahead and add me to the list - I don't have any particular time I want to mod.

Folwren · 01-08-2011, 07:29 PM

Tell you what, I can start thinking of a game idea, and then I'll be willing to mod the game after the game after Nogrods. So, that means, Nogrod's game ends, then someone else mods, then I'll mod...however, I request the priviledge of withdrawing my name if this semester of school ends up being another overload, like last semester was. I'll know by the time the game after Nogrod's is half over, I imagine.

Will that work?

-- Folwren

Glirdan · 01-11-2011, 07:07 AM

Wilwa and I still need to work out some kinks in the game we wanted to mod, but havnen't been able to due to a brand new work schedule for me that jumps all over the place and thus making it rather difficult to co=ordinate with her seeing as she is also working and in school.

Oh, and I currently have no laptop as the cord for the charger decided to fray on me. I'm currently on my significant others computer whilst he is working, and trust me, this won't happen often (*mutters about WOW and other non-sensical games that take lives away from reality

* )

Rikae · 01-13-2011, 03:30 PM

Am I still on for January? I suppose that makes me next. I have some planning to do, but I should be able to start in a few days if I put my mind to it.
If not, I don't foresee being able to do it any time this year, actually.

Rikae · 01-15-2011, 09:19 AM

In spite of the overwhelming response, I'm going to have to bow out. Someone else take the next game.

My response was mental! It was "Yes, Rikae should host, that's exciting!"

Nogrod · 01-15-2011, 02:50 PM

Oh, Rikae... I have already mentally signed into your game.

But expect me to be in when your game is on.

Rikae · 01-15-2011, 03:07 PM

Well, I'll do it if people want to play... it looked like no one did right now & I would need to get started quickly, to finish before the semester starts.

Aganzir · 01-15-2011, 03:10 PM

Mental response: "Yay yay yay Rikae is modding and I probably have time to play!"

Glirdan · 01-15-2011, 03:42 PM

I will definitely play Rikae. Provided work doesn't interfere
