Anyone else think that, subject to timing preferences, priority should be given to those who have not modded already? I am inclined to that view.

Since I will be away for a few days in mid-June, it doesn't look like I'll be able to join your game Cailín. Although I'm thinking that I should probably hang up my werewolfing boots for a while anyway. It's far too time consuming - even when one habitually gets killed off (one way or another) by the second or third day ... :(

I think I will be taking a break for a while, though this gives Kath the chance of passing me up in the most games played :eek: . The WW weariness was not an excuse but a real malady that occured because Kath's game was too soon after LMP's massive game in which I dedicated too much of myself to recover that quickly.

Cailín... sign me up! :D I simply can't help it...

Nice to have you aboard (quite literally as you will see) Durelin and Caranlondien.

Saucy, you really disappoint me. :p

You will not believe this but aside from food poisoning and various other horrors, I now sprained my wrist during singing class (apparently, singing pop music is a very dangerous activity not to be taken lightly) so I am done typing for today. Typing one-handed is annoying.

If I miraculously heal overnight (which I fully expect) more info up tomorrow morning.

I'm afraid not morm, though it would have been nice! :D

What with exam pressure at the moment if I did join I'd be even quieter than normal and you wouldn't get a single post that made sense out of me! So my apologies Cailín, but I won't be joining.

I am also taking a break for the time being. However, if you do need players, please, don't hesitate (or should that be hesitate :p ) to ask.

Put me down as extremely iffy.

I have plans to mod a Lovers eventually, so I think it'd be nice to play in one first! But it all depends on how Lomgrod's game goes for me, and if I'll actually have time. I may be starting a new job soon and... you know how that goes.

Well, here's the thing, Cailín. I've (finally) started work for the summer, so my time to be online is now more limited. Like, down to a few hours a day if I don't want to do anything else. And I do actually like to do other things. ;)

Essentially, I might not have the time, or willpower after work, to read everything each day. I will definitely be posting less, and likely I won't come up with any long analysis that I somtimes pull out. Possibly early votes, too, depending on what the timeframe is.

If you say I can still play under those conditions, then I'm all in. It's your call. :D

Cailín, please sign me up. Thanks.

Sign me up. I'd love to play in your game!

Update
 

All those who signed up are in! :D

I will definitely wait some days before starting the game, because it seems to be a busy period for everyone. :) Whether those who have limited time available can sign up depends on the amount of players I will eventually be able to recruit. Otherwise: if you want and think you can play, it's completely up to you. Lack of participation will be punished eventually, but I am quite lenient overall.

Furthermore (and this also goes for the PMs I am leaving unanswered or reps I fail to give out), my arm did not yet heal and I'm trying to be careful with it, so yes, that means more delays. I am very sorry everyone! As soon as I can use both hands to type again, you will be the first to know.

Oh, and before I forget, Nogrod has kindly offered to co-mod the game with me, so that position is officially filled.

Bon voyage, mes amis!

Olc duit-siu!

So there. All one-handed. :p

If there are questions / discussions / random accusations, they may now be put into words.

I did say I would join if I'm out of Nogrod's game by the time yours starts. But, if Nogrod is co-modding yours, then I assume the game will be over before yours starts. So sign me up as a definite maybe.
No hobbit-orc lovin'? How sad!

May I ask if this will be Werewolves at Sea, Werewolves on a Plane, or Werewolves in Space? I'm assuming it's the first one, but you did say it wouldn't be canon... :D

When exactly is this scheduled to take off? I didn't see a date. Is it when there are sufficient villagers? If you are going to Brazil I may be of assistance but only if there is a bit of a time break.

*tear*

Going back to basics with only the three Wolves and a Seer would be interesting, but all three of those options sound great to me. Though I saw 'four wolves' and my only thought had something to do with mangled remains...

Having had another recent lapse of sanity, I would be interested in playing, but am leaving town on June 23rd for three days. Do the games usually last that long?

Oh they really do. Even a short one lasts more than a week.

How long a game last depends on the size of the village, so I guess it's really hard to say.... But normally ways are found to deal with those of us who get eaten by the RL monster. And it's certainly not the end of the world if you do get eaten. Unless it never spits you back out...

Heh, cross-posted with Kath.

Cailín, I was actually wanting you to say yea or nea as to me playing. But, if it's up to me, then of course I'm in. :D

Timeframes are not too bad either way, but I'd prefer the 8 AM over 10 PM.

I'd like the middle option when it comes to roles.

And lastly, my occupation: I'll be the Plank Operator*. ;) Meaning I'm the guy that gets to push people off. :D

*I'm assuming that we'll be on a ship. If not, I'll have to change.

I am also saddened by this. After all, don't ya think that having a wolf and biped in love is already jumping off the deep end? :p

Just one question concerning the lovers- are they chosen at random like the other roles? Because... well.. that could lead to some interesting situations....

If you mean same-sex lovers, I do believe that Cailin said that would be a possibility back in the Scenarios thread when she first posted about lovers. What are you thinking now, Cailin?

edit: Here's an idea, randomly pick a wolf to be the wolfish lover and let them pick a "passenger" to be their lover.

Well, that had crossed my mind, but I was more thinking of the interesting personalities that could get paired up. Me and you for instance. :eek:

Or... Fea and phantom!

Or... any two from the Duos of Doom thread! *faints from fright*

Two words: Kath Morm

:eek:

GAH! I hadn't even thought of a match so... so... of DOOOOOOM! We'd all be dead! There'd be no way to get them!

By the way, I want to be the resident Vulcan science officer- whatever race we are, I've studied vulcan science. I don't even care wheter we're on a space ship, air ship, or ship ship.

Are we for sure doing the lovers? I'm not entirely sure about how it works and unsure if I'd be interested in that.

Flattered to be sure, but we would need to maintain suspicion on each other, otherwise it would be obvious we were on the same team.

That would be a real task I suppose? :)

If you're picking randomly and are worried about gender, just call 'em Siblings instead of Lovers. Y'know, like Húrin and Húor, Amrod and Amras, Isíldur and Anárion, Eluréd and Elurín, Túrin and Nienor...only slightly less doomed.

Dang, I can't find any famous sisters.

With Tolkien, that's no surprise, I guess... :(

Ooh - or Twins.

No kidding.

"And Humdrum begat seventeen sons and one daughter..."
"And Lowlifeion begat two sons and one daughter..."
"And Frederickethor begat one daughter only, and cursed his ill luck on his deathbed..."

I hate to be all RP picky, but siblings just isn't as fun as lovers. :p Also not as secretive.

answers
 

If at all possible, I am doing not doing same sex Lovers, simply because so many prefer the traditional kind. However, that would mean we need more male sign ups and balance out the sexes. If we don't, then I guess that means no Lovers. You are right, siblings are far less intriguing.

About the hobbit-orc love: it will not happen and that's me final word. ;)

I will post an updated and complete description of the role soon. But it's definitely not yet certain: it depends on the final passenger list whether it is at all possible and also on the opinion of those who signed up. Personally, I am rather partial to the Lovers, but I can work without them.

Oh, and I am indeed waiting a little while before starting this game. I did not set a date yet, but assume it will take at least four more days.

"Werewolves at Sea" would be the accurate description. Hy Brazil or Ui Breasail (for those who don't know) is a mythical island out of Celtic Mythology. Don't worry, it's still not canon. :p

They are basically picked at random: I'll solely be manipulating gender. So Roa_Aoife and Diamond, you can breathe easily. Mormegil and Kath... well if Kath does sign up, I'm not saying it cannot happen.

Another thing: as you are passengers, not crew, you don't have to be sailors or anything to do with water at all. You're allowed to if that is what you want, but you may be anything.

Passenger list is being updated.

As long as people don't take umbrage at me being quieter than my historical norm has been, I'm in.

Actually, no... I'm in whether they like it or not. The worst that can happen is they lynch me and I don't have to worry about not participating enough.

Occupations? What are these occupations of which you speak? I'm a ne'er-do-well stowaway of snobbish, blue-blooded origins. :p

Boo!
 

Didn't expect me, did ya? ;)

Well, whatever's up is over, and now I can join.

I'll be lost. I mean, that'll be my description. :D

Oh come now morm. Even when we are on the same team we try to get the other lynched anyway :rolleyes:

I would love to join a WW game, it has been too long. . . If there is room of course.

I am pretty sure I will have time on my hands, but I only returned home to Denmark a few hours ago so I dont have a full view of what I have to do the next weeks. (Save waching the World Cup of course)

Argh Rune...you just had to go and appear, did you? Just when I was prepared to say goodbye to Werewolf?

*grabs horns in both hands and writhes as if in terrible pain...wait, I'm no Mister Tumnus*

Sigh...I'm in. Occupation will come once my brain reads this post.

Welcome back, Rune. What a great timing! And thanks for recruiting Lhuna for me. ;)
