Argh, can't believe I'm doing this
 A promise is a promise Cailín! I'm in.

Change of occupation.

When are you starting? I'm tempted to join, but I fear I can't unless the game starts quite soon.

As a football widow, I need something to keep me out of even worse mischief. I'll come aboard too, please. Is football widow too anachronistic for you Cailín? If so, I'll be a merry one...

Bad news
I saw the doctor today and my arm is a bit worse than I expected.
I am really dreadfully sorry, but I am just not up to (nor allowed to) typing out long posts and spending more time behind the computer than absolutely necessary (which is still too horrific to fully comprehend for my geeky side). Fortunately, I do have medication and should see significant progress within a week. It's so frustrating with all you cool people willing and wanting to sign up. So it seems there are two options: 1) I could give it another week and start the game then. This may mean that some people currently on the passenger list will not be able to play. 2) Someone else should take my place to mod WW XXIII. I'd be unhappy, but I completely understand (especially with the long waiting-to-mod list) people cannot wait for my recovery. What do you think? I'm really unsure what to do. I don't want to waste my chance to mod a good game by being unable to type more than a few sentences each day. Argh. |

I'm very sorry to hear about your prolonged injury.
However it works out don't rob yourself (or us  ) by having to edit your narration. I always look forward to what others have come up with.I suppose the decision will also be based on if the next mod is ready. If that person is not ready we'd have to wait anyway therefore we can wait for Cailin, but if that person is ready then we should carry on and Cailin can mod the next game.

I believe the next mod in line is Gurthang. Cailin if you still want to mod this one I can help you out in someways if you need it.

You should have the opportunity to mod this interesting take on WW (maritime WW, that is), so perhaps your game should be put on hold until you can do so. Further games can be played, but whenever your ready to take on yours again, you can do so (obviously not in the middle of a game, of course...you know what I mean).
Unless you'd rather pass on this idea. I just know that, t'were me, I'd want to hold onto it once I had all the plans... But as Holby pointed out, it does depend on who's ready, I suppose. |

If it's only one week I say wait. It would actually give me the break I need. Besides how many have signed up?

Partly out of self-interest (to increase the chances of me being able to play) I'd be positively happy if you waited.

Actually, waiting a week sounds grand to me. There's no telling how long Lomgrod's game will last, and it would even be nice to have a break between the two.

Well, being the next on the list, I would actually prefer to wait, too. I have some things I would like to do before my own game. I would have done some of them already, but it hasn't worked out. So I also would be fine with just waiting for your arm to get better, Cailín.
Still, if it comes down to it, I suppose I could get most of the stuff done tonight. So if you guys want me to, I can probably be ready in a couple days. Although, I think most people are agreeing that waiting for Cailín is okay. Sounds good to me... more planning time. Well, planning when I'm not playing, anyway. Cailín, how long did the doctor think it will take for your arm to get up to typing health?

If Gurth doesn't one to mod the next, could Sleepy (the next one on the list) do it?
I think it might be very unfair for Gurth and Sleepy's probably not prepared. So maybe that's a very bad idea. Just wanted to say it aloud.

If sleepy is ready to start right away, I think we should let him mod the next game. If that is not the case then I dont mind waiting, at all.

I see opinions vary.
Thanks for the best wishes, and Valier, I do very much appreciate your offer to help, but if I wait, I might not need it!Quote:

Poor old girl, what rotten luck.
Still, it could have been worse, just imagine if it had happened while you were in the middle of modding a game.... Anyway, I'm happy to wait although it just means I'll be spending more money (I already bought a garden shed and a bathroom floor today....  )

Well, most of us have to wait for the end of Lomgrod's game anyways, especially Thin and Nogrod...
How about this- we wait until that game is over, and then see what's what. It could end up taking another four or five days in real time as it is.

I've missed werewolf not being here, and now that school and everything which is taking up enough time to stop me from playing is over, I'd be interested in playing if there's still room.

Commiserations, Cailín. I hope that the doctor gives you the all clear soon.
All this talk of medical consultations before assessing whether you can play puts me in mind of a certain England player and his metatarsal ... I will be back from my trip on the evening of 19 June, so if the game starts on 20 June, then you can count me in. We share a birthday, Cailín.

If there's room, put me down as a maybe. I will be missing the first weekend in July, but if that isn't an issue (I'll leave that one up to the mod), count me in.
Now that school is finally over, I'll have more time on my hands (or so the theory goes, anyhow). I'm looking forward to putting in some good solid werewolf hours this summer!

Cailin starting next week would be far better for me so I say wait! That way I might be able to participate properly

Speaking of Not-Cailín, is he going to play? What better first game than the one your sis in moderating, no?
Hmmm, well, if we're waiting a week, I am confident enough that I'll be able to play to choose a vocation. I am gnawing my ankle off over jealously that Jenny got to the Dread Pirate Roberta first, of course. Can I be Weslamond, the Dread Pirate Roberta's protégé?

Did anyone ask Sleepy?
Well, I think we shall be starting on the 19th then! (with a Night phase). I am actually doing somewhat better already, so I'm quite confident I'll be up to it. I will update the Player List tonight. If you are unable to play because of the later starting date, please let me know. Di, to answer your question, my brother (non-Cailín, now known as Taliesin) is indeed playing but it takes him a little long to officially sign up. Holidays are making him lazy Thanks all for your well wishes. Quote:
Um, yeah.

Okay, if you're starting so late, I can't unfortunately join the game.
I hope you guys have a good game!

I'm in. I'll be Sir Anguirel Spens, sent at the bidding of the King of Scots to find the King of Norroway and bestow his daughter in marriage...

New Werewolf Rules
PASS THE JOINT Randomly determined player forbidden to make any kind of sense for one Day. Partaker changes every day. EUTHANASIA Any hardened players from Werewolf 1 must be killed as quickly as possible because "it's the kindest thing for them". EDIT: By the way, some of my best friends-and my step-grandmother-are Dutch. So that means I can indulge in all the immature stereotyping that I like with complete impunity! Nyah nyah!

I could come up with a few more, but I fear my country is becoming too X-rated for the Downs. You don't *want* to know what they're trying to legalise now. But honestly, Anguirel, I don't think we'd need such rules. People rarely make sense anyway and seasoned players are almost always killed off immediately.

Well as a decadent Londoner I think Dutch Werewolf Rules sound rather amusing - but fair enough, we must abide with the moral majority...
EDIT: I'd particularly wish to introduce stringent Euthanasia legislation for kilt-wearers. But as he's not even playing, as yet...

The "Michiel Adriaan Joosten" in me is amused by the Dutch Discussion (seriously, Ang, that first, random, rule would be hilarious... I'm seriously for it). The very conservative North American is pleased to see Cailín taking a moderate approach to things.
And the voter in me has to say: ++ 10 pm

Either date is fine for me, I'd prefer the 10pm time. I'm the whale hunter.

An academic question (it's of course entirely up to Cailin how she runs her game)
WW involves lying to our friends and killing them. It also involves reading sometimes extremely graphic descriptions of cannibalistic violence (how graphic depends on the mod, but I've read stuff on here that I would call pretty immoderate, gore-wise) So what is the issue with same-sex Lovers, purely for convenience because there are too many female players?
