I knew you'd say that.

Lommy has informed me that she can't play:(. Which means we're still one short.

I've tried shameless advertising on Facebook, and still no takers...at least I know not to go into the marketing business. :rolleyes:

I'll see who I can scare up, though my luck's not been the best this time 'round. :(

If it doesn't begin until Thursday or so, you can go ahead and put me down.
If you get the required number before then though, you certainly need not wait for me.

Thanks for your efforts, sally and Boro! I've invited a few people myself, so all hope isn't lost yet.

Zil, thanks for the update. At the moment it doesn't seem likely that we'll take off within the next two days, but we'll see.

Count me in. Too much persuation. To be honest I'm a bit scared of being a new member in forums, I thought a werewolf game would be a good way to, you know, start.

Boro invited me to join a while ago and hadn't it been for an exam I would have, I figured you would have started the game a long time ago.

Anyways if you start no sooner than Friday, then I am game.

Rune, Glirdy, Esty?! What?! I'm so sad I have to miss this.

Woot!

And then there were 12!
 

Seconded!:D

Welcome to the Downs, Pomegranate! No reason to be scared, we've all been newbies in our day, and we're a friendly crowd here. Enjoy being dead!

And yay Rune! I had planned to start as soon as there were 12 players, not expecting any more and keeping in mind Esty's RL deadline on the 21st; but after the latest news from you and Zil, I'd actually like to get the two of you on board, which would mean starting Night 1 on Thursday 2300 GMT. Will that be OK for everybody?

I'm flattered that my mere presence in a WW game has attracted other players! However, the death of a very close friend has changed my plans - I will be away from Friday to Tuesday to be at the funeral. That is too long an absence to be active in any kind of sensible way, I'm afraid - unless you all want me to join and volunteer as the first or second victim...

I'm sorry about the inconvenience this change causes, but it truly is a matter of life and death.

Dang, Esty, I'm sorry to hear that! *hugs you*
With such a loss in your life, this game should be the last thing on your mind now; at least I know I wouldn't have a head for playing if I were in your place. But thanks for being willing to play, and know you'll be in my thoughts.

So sorry to hear thatEsty :(. My condolences and I agree with Pitch. Your last thought should be a WW game my dear.

And I am good whenever our dearest Mod is ready to go.

Thanks, Pitchwife! I've heard only good things about this place, so I'm excited. On the other hand you are all a bit daunting with your thousands of posts (and nicknames, I resolved on not using them quite yet). Thursday is as great as any for me.

And condolences, Estelyn. Be where you need to be.

Esty, I'm really sorry to hear that. :( I'll echo the others - a game shouldn't be bothering you at a time like this. My condolences.

Don't worry about this. Back when I had thirty posts I thought three hundred was a lot, and now I have three thousand (when has it gotten that many?). They seem to multiply on their own; you hardly notice them. :)

Pitch, tomorrow night sounds great. And it means that D1 will be mostly on Saturday, when I *should* be more or less available! :D (Don't lynch me, it's the admin thread! :P)

I'm very sorry to hear that, Esty. There'll be another time for WW.

Beginning tomorrow should work for me.

As I hear no objections, Night 1 will begin today, Thursday, Jan 12, 2300 GMT. Roles will be assigned and sent out during the next twelve hours - so clear up your PM boxes, everybody. *goes to heed his own advice*

Game thread is up, and all roles have been sent. If yours didn't get through for some reason, let me know. If you have any questions about your role, feel free to PM me.

:( Sorry to hear that Esty. Best wishes to you, and The Downs will be here just as it was when you're back...it won't be trashed, much.

Thanks to all of you for your sympathetic thoughts and words! Losing a friend reminds me of just how important friends are, and those who remain are a great comfort.

Have fun with the game!

Pome, you should turn yourself invisible during the game. Go to your User CP, select "Edit Options" on the Control Panel on the left side, tick "Use Invisible Mode", scroll down and click on "Save Changes" at the bottom.
Sorry, I forgot to mention this earlier.

Pomegranate, go to invisible mode. :) Click on your User CP. Then edit options and check "invisible mode" box. Make sure to save the change too.

Wolves, I suppose this is the next best thing to getting the Seer. :rolleyes:

GO RANGERS! FOR GONDOR!

Dangnabit!!! I honestly didn't realize what time it was until now as I've been running errands since I got off work at three :(.

Glirdy, I'm inclined to be lenient today, with it being Day 1 and all, but try to make up for it and vote toMorrow, K?
Nog, the same. (No, I don't seriously think you need admonishing, and I won't make any comments about submarines on Day 1.:))
Nate, as you haven't offered any reasons for not voting, consider yourself frowned at.

Addendum to the Rules
 

Don't post anything on the Admin thread that you feel obliged to delete once you've sobered up. Thanks.

I will offer them now, being as they are pretty much exactly the same as Glirdys. I lost the track of time, plus I went to a place where I thought I could use the internet and found out too late that I couldn't - and by that time it was too late to start running back to my apartment. I will make this up, promises.

Nate - OK, but do try to vote toMorrow.

Ok, so, my lil man Max (seen here) had a seizure and that had me freaking out, mostly because it was completely unexpected. And it's just one of those things that there can be a countless amount of causes for, that I'm really really really hoping it doesn't wind up being one of the serious ones. He's fine now and will be going to the vet, so it wasn't serious in "I have to back out of game," it was just...yeah, at the time. wasn't going to be able to keep focused on anything else. And I hope the vet doesn't find something bad. :(

Thanks Pitch and everyone else for your kind words and thoughts. :)

You will call/text me as soon as you know anything. Understood?

*nuzzles you and Max*

I apologise for the mod for the lack of red in my vote and hope she considers it a vote anyway, it's a sign of my waste of forum code knowledge more than anything else. I realised there's not a button for it only when I was posting my vote, when it was already too late to start to go through manuals/ask someone.

1. Our fair mod Pitchwife is, in fact, a man. :smokin:

2. To highlight a vote, simply replace the 'B' in your tags with the word 'highlight'. :)

*cheers from beyond the grave*

:D:D:D

Apologies for not voting. I was unexpectedly out of town all day. Won't happen again.

Hello everyone, this is Pitchwife's wife writing...

Unfortunately he stumbled over a doorstep, while he was thinking about his moding here and managed to damage his knee joint. It is likely, that the doctors will put in some nail in the morning, to fix the bone again...

But he left you in good hands, as you know Nogrod has taken over.

@Nogrod : Sorry that he was right beeing so negative. But I do hope he'll be back home in a few days...

Ouch! Get better soon, Pitch! And thanks to Pitch wife for updating us!

Oh, Pitchwife. :rolleyes:

Thank you for the update, Pitchwifewife. Tell our lord that we send our best wishes for mayhem, slaughter, and a speedy recovery. :smokin:

Oh no... :( Pitchie, I hope it is nothing the doctors can't set right in a jiff! I wish you a speedy recovery and that your life can return to it's regular path as soon as possible!

Did a strange and terrible curse get somehow cast over this game? :( Wow. Sorry, Pitch, get better soon.
