modding
 

I actually think I would like to mod the next game, if nobody minds. I'll gladly give it up if someone desperately wants to try their hand at it, or thinks it'd be best if I had more experience (please note that I've played at least six non-Barrow-Downs games, so I have a general idea). Before I designate myself the official Mod, however, I'd like to hear a few people say I'm okay; obviously if they don't think I am then I won't be mod yet.

You modding is fine with me. Really, it's completely up to Perky but in my all honest opinion, the newbies should get a chance at modding to.

After malkatoj, and I think Wayne wanted to mod one, I'll be glad to mod a WWJ game.

Woohoo, I get to mod!
This means I need to know who's playing, who's not playing, genders for everyone, alternate names if they so choose (i.e. Jack) and roles. I'd also like to know what time people think is best for NIGHT and DAY--I think 10:30 was a little late, but It's not like I'm not awake anyway, so I'm flexible. Remember that I'm on EST, which is GMT-5. (Right? Hope so.) Lastly, I'd like to know when people want to start.

As of right now, I believe AbercrombieOfRohan is my backup mod, but I need to check with her about the one time I know I won't be here.

Thanks to you all!

Just as a recommendation, Malka, I'd wait to get officially under way until after tp's game begins. WWJ I was for newcomers and those who missed the deadline. I thought that the diversity of experience made for a fun game and would hate to see it lost because of timing.

Good point, Fea. I'll be waiting a little while, in that case. I'd also like to give enough people an opportunity to sign up. (What's a good number of people?)

I do think we could start planning/getting ideas in my head about roles/rules/names of village. And by 'roles' I mean both who you want to be in the town (like I was the Drunk Fencer last game) and what roles you want to have...Cursed Villager, for example?

That's up to you and how many you think you can deal with. If you think you might end up short on time, you might want a smaller game, but if you aren't worried about that, games with more are equally fun, though less personal. I'd say stick with between 12 and 18. It also depends on what roles you plan on using. If you're going old school with three wolves, a seer, and a bunch of ordos, than a small game is better. If you want all-out with all of the extra parts, the more the merrier.

PS: I've always thought it would be fantastic if a Mytho picked the WereBear. Now doesn't that sound fun?

Feel free to mod! I think I'm signed up for WW XVI :p

He changed his mind, he doesn't want to any more, he's got school to deal with and I think he would have more fun playing anyway. :) But I'm sure he's going to want to sign up for the next game. He'll have to verify that though. ;)

here we go again
 

you'll do fine , malkatoj. sign me up as a "superstitious guy".

time
 

missed that part of your post. 10:30 was FAR too late. maybe 9:00

I agre. For us on this side of the atlantic, 10:30 means that you should either stay up all night or go to bed realy early and log on in the night/morning.

9:00 Is still late, but early enough for me/us to be online in the "hectic" hours, even if we are to get up real early!

If the signig on is started then count me in !

I will sign up for this game. But if someone drops out of phantom's game I'll be getting a spot there. But most likely I'll be playing in this game. :D

I'll get back to you on a role, I'm a she, and any time is good for me. ;)

Well friends, looks like you get to see me, excuse me for this, "strut my stuff". I'm joining in this one, but if a spot opens up for me in the phantom's game, I'll be switching over to there. My occupation will be the village baker.

BTW, do you have a name for the village malka?

I will play this one. I will be a scientist.

Go ahead and sign me up. I think I'll be a peddler. Not to be confused with cobbler!

Peddler - Travelling salesman who carries all his items on his wagon.
Cobbler - Cobbles shoes.

So don't lynch me for trying to sell something. I'll probably have an extensive supply of wolf-retardant handy(which will actually be watered-down ale or something like that). :D

If signing has started then I'll be an explorer from out of town who gets stuck when the lycan outbreak hits. :)

I'd really like to play this time round. I'm brand new to the Downs but I followed the last WWJ game and really enjoyed it! I can understand if you would want to offer places to older members first though.

I'd like to be either the school teacher or the Inn keeper. I am a she for reference
:D

Is WWJ not mainly for those who has not tried yet?

I would say that sotty and others are first in line! Is it not so ?

Me too! Me too!

I'll be a crone.

(Maybe i can make a charm against wolves!)

As for the time, I'm in Asia and on the opposite side of the world from many of you, so as long as the voting deadline isn't between 6pm and 1am GMT, I'll be able to make it work. I may post at what seem to be odd times--I can assure you in advance that this is not wolvish, it's just that we crones sometimes keep odd hours. :rolleyes:

No worries, Ancalime... I played the "insomniac" last game as I knew I'd be keeping odd hours. Nobody really minds them, though you might get gently teased about it because of day one randomness.

What a silly notion. The older members have already played. You haven't. That means that, by all rights, and especially in a game for newcomers, you get first dibs. Welcome, and well met, and all of that, as well.

I'm not a newcomer and I'm not new at this game but I am new at the game at the 'Downs and online... Do I get dibs on a dibs too? :D

DEATH WOULD LIKE TO PLAY

Unless anyone has any objections (read: better ideas) the name of the town shall be Lower Tadfield. (If you don't get it, read Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.)

Currently, our population is Nine. We have:
Bergil, m. A 'Superstitious Guy.'
Rune Son of Bjarne, Traveling Cheese Juggler
Wilwarin538, f.
Glirdan, m. Baker.
WaynetheGoblin. Scientist.
Gurthang. Peddler.
Sleepy Ranger. Explorer from out of town who gets stuck in Lower Tadfield.
Sotty. School teacher OR Innkeeper (choose one, please!)
Tar-ancalime. Crone.
Márcolië Lamen, unknown. DEATH.
Eonwe. Friendly undertaker.


I'd rather not go over 18 people, so unless some drop out, only eight more spaces.

Those of you who don't have a role in the village, you have until the game starts to think of one. Those of you who don't have a gender, (I'm not assuming any in case you want to play around with it) again, you have until the game starts to get one in.

As for timing, I think 9:00 on GMT-5 will work well for me except for on Mondays, but I'm going to have to check AbercrombieOfRohan's schedule as she is now officially my backup mod. The game won't start at least until Monday, though maybe later depending on the other game, since this weekend has been divided by zero.

I'd like input on which roles you guys want to have in the game, as well.

Until next time,
Your loving God. I mean, Mod. Er... let's stick with Malkatoj.

I would like to be a traveling cheese juggler (mabye i could travel with sleepy)

(If this is too silly i will find something else)

As per me its done, its final. Rune was part of my previous expedition or just travelling with me....>_<

DEATH NEEDS TO POINT OUT THAT I WILL HAVE WEIRD HOURS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF SLEEP AND WEIRD HOURS OF CALLING TO THE FEILD. I WILL BE ON AT LEAST DAILY THOUGH.

EDIT: DEATH MUST SPEAK IN CAPS, IT DOESN'T LIKE THAT SO I MUST EDIT EVERY POST. NO FAIR. I WILL BE EDITING EVERY POST FOR THIS REASON. THANK YOU AND UNTIL I SEE YOU AGAIN

-DEATH

The Mods, of course!
 

To add to the above list:

AbercrombieOfRohan is an Angel and a Part-Time Rare Book Dealer.
I, Malkatoj, am an Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards.

Thank you.

I smell Good Omens coming from this new WWJ game.

Well, my gender (if you didn't read my death in the WWJ I game malka) is male. This is definetly going to be a good game. So far we've got three pretty experienced players in here. Wilwa, Gurthang and myself (even though this is only my third game ;). Well you can say two if you want. :rolleyes:) And I forgot Wayne!!!

Oh, and a little advice for you, Wayne my friend, try posting more than one scentence posts and try coming up with theories of your own, like you did in my game. Ok?

Malka, name's fine by me. Kind of spooky and mysterious sounding.

Wilwa, since your in my time zone, the time would be what for us? I'm no good at the time zone change.

scotty, the whole reason we came up with WWJ was so the newbies (pardon the word) to the game would get used to playing it before moving on into the original WW games, which have much more experienced players. So you, above all people, get a dibs in this game, even before you Sleepy!! :p

I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHAT ROLES AND NUMBER OF EACH THERE ARE GOING TO BE. WILL THERE BE A WEREBEAR AND MYTHOMAINIAC AND EVERYTHING OR JUST SEER, RANGER, AND WOLVES?

IF IT IS KNOWN ALSO IS THERE ANY IDEA AS TO WHEN THE GAME IS BEGINNING? JUST CURIOUS SO I CAN REMEMBER TO PACK BOOKS IN MY BACKPACK SO I CAN QUOTE MYSELF ;).

-DEATH

If you are looking for more players, i would like to join. but ive played in WW X and WWJ I, consecutively, so if i need to be bumped, that's no problem.

i shalt be, let me see...aha! the friendly undertaker.

What's your ideal number for villagers malka? Because once phantom's game starts and we find out who's in it, you should ask those who weren't able to make it in to join this one.

As for the roles, is it going to be 3 Wolves, 1 Seer, 1 Ranger, 1 Hunter and 1 Cursed?

Another thing. Those who played in the last WW games, you can now deactivate you invisibility mode until we start the next games.

I really don't care about number of villagers, as long as it's between 13 and 18, inclusive.

As for roles, I'm taking requests, so if people really really really want a mythomaniac, for example, I'll include one. Or if they really DON'T want a Hunter, then they don't need one. Unless I'm violating some horrible code. So, opinions on roles are nice, but since this *is* the Junior game, I'd rather keep it kind of simple.

Well, Modkatoj, you may refer to me as a 'he'.

For the timezones, it really doesn't matter to me. As long as the first death starts at the correct time, I will just plan accordingly. Which may end up having me vote a few hours early or such, but hopefully it won't get me lynched. ;)

On the roles issue, it doesn't really matter either. I'm sure it will be a great game no matter what.

Oh, and DEATH, I don't really like you editing every post, but as long as you promise to edit ONLY for that reason, I'll let it slide. ;)

GURTHANG I PROMISE I WILL ONLY EDIT POSTS TO FIT THE CHARACTER. I WILL ALSO HAVE IT WRITTEN UP TO POST SO THERE ISN'T TIME WASTED IN THE EDITING PROCESS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO NOT EDIT POSTS AT ALL I WOULD STOP WITH THE SPEAKING IN CAPS [THOUGH DEATH DOES THAT]; JUST ASK AND I WILL PROVIDE.

Nope. The promise will do fine. :D

(sorry, forgot to specify a gender)
 

I have heard the rumors in the village. Ever has the maiden feared the crone, for in me she sees herself.

Nonetheless, those who dare to call me less than a woman reveal nothing but their own fears.

Like all the wise-women of the world, I am FEMALE.

Never heard of a woman, wise or not who is male... :)

In the words of the immortal Jack Sparrow, "clearly you've never been to Singapore." ;)
