I can go next but then the game won't start before September 13th (admin thread can be up much earlier of course).

Thus, I recommend somebody taking the next spot ex tempore. It's fun. :D

That's funny. We could be up and running by like... the sixth or seventh. Technically we could be up and running the 5th if needed, but it might be a slightly rocky first couple deadlines. Then again, the nature of the games, that wouldn't be so bad...

So maybe we should put it as, if the current game ends swiftly, and anybody can get started immediately, they should go ahead of us, but otherwise Ni and I will just go for it?

Given that today is the 26th (right?) I think starting around the 6th should be perfectly fine... (but I have to admit I haven't been following the current game.)

Sounds like a plan. :)

PS. If sombody else mods before you, you can go before me if you want to because a) I have given everybody such a headache with not being able to mod and b) I'm not any more busy later in September. So whatever suits you the best! :)

As we're working out the details of the game now, while we have time, we should have it more or less ready to go before either of us leave next weekend, and then one of us (probably me depending on when Ni will be returning) will send out roles and get things started. You know, provided that this game has ended, and recruitment is quick, etcetera etcetera.

Hello folks. I'm planning on posting up the game thread for Ni and my game either tonight or tomorrow. Once it's up, sign-ups are open. Once we have at least 15 people, we'll get started.

So I don't know if I'll be able to play in any more games for awhile due to work and sleep schedule conflicts ( :rolleyes: ) and the possibility of me being in a community theater production (which my audition for is tomorrow :D ) starting in the next week or so.

We Need Mods!
 

Since Fea and Nienna's glorious game just ended, mine will be up next. It will involve most probably a basic full cast (wolves, seer, ranger, hunter and cobbler) and you will be Nargothrondian Elves in the dungeons of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. Admin thread will be up in a few days (tomorrow?)...

Anyway, I'm here not to just advertise my game, but also point out our severe lack of mods. There's no one in the line after me! (Or, there is Rikae who wants to mod in January and Folwren who wants to mod "when she has enough experience".)

So, we need mods. Any volunteers? Foley feeling prepared enough to take the spot after me?

And I would say that in a case like this if there is a volunteering mod and he/she hasn't officially played enough games or has modded too recently, we ignore those "rules". I'd call them guidelines, anyway. ;)

Well I've been thinking about doing another game, but not completely sure whether I want to go for a more complicated/experimental game or the standard. By complicated, I mean trying out some modified roles. The theme is lovably Tolkien related, set in Bree when the Rangers have left. :)

I would still need at least a week or two to figure it all out, and also this would mean I would need to sit out of your game Lommy. :( I need a bit more time off.

Well, Glirdy and I would like to Mod together, but he just just modded so we'd have to wait for a while (and we don't have any details worked out), but eventually we will be interested. And we're aiming for epicness. ;)

Well for the most part I've got the premise down and the roles will pretty standard (normal wolves, and at least normal seer and ranger). But I'm planning on doing something similar to what you did with the Grimm Tales, and just take a few LOTR characters to have some kind of minor role. (Only not as many).

Like I really want Bill Ferney and Harry Goatleaf as cobblers (and add a bit more than just normal cobblers). As well as a Butterbur who is on the innocents side, and if killed by the wolves, his ale is so deliciously tasty, the wolves are unable to transform and make a kill the next night. :D

Plus possibly a few others, I just don't want to have it be completely out of balance also, if I were to do it after Lommy's game I would probably need a co-mod.

Throwing this out there, if we have no one to mod after Boro has gone, perhaps Wilwa and I should start working out the details now as a "just en cas" scenario.

I know with the new rules and regulations that we have all come to agree upon that I should not be going, but I will not be having full control of the game.

It's up to you guys.

Ahem. I'd said a while back that I'd like to be in the mod queue again.

That being said, I'd like to put myself last on whatever queue we may line up in the next few days, as my game is going to take loads of preparation and my internets have been rather shoddy of late anyway.

I can host at any time, if we're in dire need. Just say the word.

I might also be willing to give modding a shot one day.

I've been modding a few games during the years so I'm in no great hurry as long as there are players who haven't yet modded or who have modded only once or a long-long time ago... But just to inform you: maybe once again I could take the job. :)

Okay, so we have potentially (in no order whatsoever with the exception of my sallycakes)

Boro
Wilwa and myself
Nog
Shasta
Sally

So, who's going to go after Lommykins?

Oooo! *bats eyelashes* Can this mean more Dueling Wizards? :Merisu:

Obviously since I just finished a game, I shouldn't even raise my hand, but I've had a game of my own in mind since before Ni recruited me to be the face and illustrator of her game.

It's experimental in nature, but with a very simple premise. Just wolves, villagers, and a seer, with possibly another role or two to keep it balanced based on the experimental part. I'm in no big hurry, but I would definitely like to mod my own premise some time in the not horribly distant future.

No, I'm not ready to mod a game. I haven't thought of any plot or place or anything, and I don't have time to think of anything, even if I did have time to mod it, which I don't.

So, I'll just wait for now. Thanks for asking, though.

I also have an experimental yet Tolkien-themed game in mind, but I need to sort out the details before I can be any more specific.

After sorting out things with a few open ears yesterday, I'm ready to go with a game, and have modded one so far, back in December. If anyone hasn't modded a game yet (who can and has one ready), go ahead after Lommy. If not, I'm ready to do another one. :)

Actually dear, your fantastic game (that I won ;) ) was August 2009, so you're definitely due to Mod another one. :)

Heh... well, it's quite a unique game. We've had two so far I think, one by lmp and one by me, and I think the next one doing it should be a different person just to spread that fun. Although anyone considering of doing it should be aware beforehand that it is actually quite time-consuming and requires the mod to be able to hold quite a web of threads together... so it's not the simplest of tasks.

But it's been some time the last Dueling Wizards was played and we have I think a host of players now active that haver never had a chance to play it, so why not in some not so distant future once again?

To those who have never checked the marvellous concept of Dueling Wizards, here's the last one (it has the participant list and full rules after the prologue post).

I'm quite ready to mod a conventional kind of game or a more experimental one, whatever the general feeling is that people wish to play when it comes to my turn.

My admin thread is up now, please sign up! ;)

Since Lommy's game is winding down I should have my admin thread and open the sign-ups sometime late tonight. If not than early tomorrow morning (ohh the love of NEOEA day :D)

Set in Bree and Fea's agreed to do the day lynch narrations in the style of the drawings from her game for me. Don't wanna miss!

Taking applications for/requesting a co-mod
 

Though it's not my turn yet, for my game to run properly I'll need a solid co-mod who is an experienced (read, veteran) Werewolf player. The veteran part is important, as the game will deal with various events in BD WW history. There will be (as always!) twists and turns and my co-mod will hopefully be able to help me fine tune some aspects of the game. If you're interested, please PM me. Thanks! :)

~~Sally~~

So, who's next?

Wilwa and Glirdy? Nog? Sally? Shasta?

Sallycakes, I would otherwise volunteer for being a co-mod, but I think you'd do better with a co-mod who can help you in posting narrations etc in case you don't happen to be here around the DL and that won't be me with your dreadful US DLs. Anyway, in case now one else volunteers, feel free to poke me about it. :) (Also, I don't know about my schedules in the near future so volunteering might be a bit hazardous.)

PS. Wow this Uni browser/computer has spell check even when I write here!

I don't think Glirdy and I are quite ready, I have the idea but I haven't started sorting out the details yet and he is really busy. We could probably go after whoever is next though. Tidbit: it will be Tolkien related and hopefully awesome.

For what it's worth, this DL will likely be European-friendly; I've gotten terribly old in the last few months and fancy going to bed earlier. I've been informed (:Merisu:) that Madame Fea will be my co-mod, but the more the merrier, so if you think you can't play I'd love a third pair of eyes on rules and roles and things. :)


Also, I can't possibly go next. With my co-mod being all deaded from thesis I've not planned everything out thoroughly, so I'd rather someone else go next.

If nobody else can go now I *might* be able to put this together by next Monday. But if someone else could go first that would be ok.

I'd be happy if we went by the list, meaning that I would take not this one but the next one. I do have quite busy times for one and half weeks from now on, but it should get better after that. I'd hate to mod a game with my scheduals full.

Alright, we'll see when it's a more actual topic, because it would be fun to play too if I just have time... :)

I'm not sure what the current order is, but if needed, the earliest I can host is Wednesday, November 17th. :)

If you can put the admin thread up earlier, I think you should go next. :) Seems like the others are a bit reluctant to take the next place...

If Wilwa and Glirdan can't/need more time/are unable to, then certainly. Wilwa? Glirdan? Thoughts?

I could potentially have the thread up on thursday, but if Shasta can go first that would be nice cause we still have stuff to work out and I'd hate to rush through it. But we will almost certainly be able to go after him.

Duly noted. Expect an admin thread in the next day or so.

If I'm still on the list of potential mods, I can run a game anywhere between December 16 and the end of January, likely. School ends on the 16th, so that's pretty exciting. I'm way too busy to participate in anything now, though.

Just a piece of amusement for ww players...
 

So, Greenie and I went to see the newest Harry Potter movie yesterday. We totally cracked up when this trailer came up (hadn't seen it before!) Our mum was with us and she didn't get what was so funny - no wonder as she doesn't play ww. ;)

Thanks. I bet I just cracked up at the very same line as you two did.

Actually, the film looks pretty hilarious in its own right.:D

Ha ha! I saw the HP movie a couple of weeks ago and I remember seeing that. I thought at the time that they ought to have consulted some experts like us on the particulars of wolvish hehaviour. :D
