Oh, good. I am relieved. I will definitely be able to mod, and I can start planning before I leave, I just couldn't start it, realistically, within a week.

Thanks, to you both!

-- Folwren

Good to hear that, Foley!
I will here and now reserve a place in your game as I got dropped off the last one just when it started getting interesting... :D

:p

Blahh to you too, you wolf-cretin! And I alredy got you (well, almost) in the end of Day2. If your friends hadn't got me busy my last Day, then... :mad:

But yes, well played indeed! I'm looking forwards to see you in this game. Maybe we can be on the same side this time? :)

Hmm... We shall see. I might leave the next game out, again. Sorry, Folwren. And
I don't think being on the same side is good for either of us: I'll just waste all my time suspecting you...

Ok, offtopic.

So we can sign up already? Count me in! :)

I....guess so. But it would be most helpful if you said so officially on the Admin thread, whenever I get that up...

-- Foley

Out of respect for the game in progress please refrain from signing up for the next game until the current game is over.

Thanks

Okay, then. No problem. :)

Mormegil, Nogrod, others... I've decided not to mod this game. Reasons for not doing so are in no way connected to anyone here, so don't worry about it. :)

Have fun, everyone.

-- Folwren

I be here, signing up for whoever's game is next...

Nogrod, would you be able to begin within a week or so. As the opportunity came somewhat sudden and you weren't expecting to mod so soon there will be a grace period if you need it.

Can I sign up for the next game yet? Can I? Can I? Whoever's modding, I want to play! :D

No problem. I'll throw a sketch of the game in 24 hours... :p
I have given it some thought already and can start it as soon as we have enough players.

I'm going to open an admin thread soon enough.

Sad to hear that Foley, I hope you are willing and able to mod the next one...

Just some preliminary revelations & questions...

What I can reveal already is that I would still be going for more than one Ranger. I think it's high time to see a real battle where the goodies have an actual chance to really fight back and where the baddies need to consider their kills with some more thought. And to balance this, I think the wolves should be given two kills a Night as long as there are three of them... (the numbers will of course depend on the number of players) But it's up to you too. I'm not wishing to try and stage a game no one else is interested than I myself.

Would you like a game that would have in it an air of insecurity? One version of the game I have thought includes the idea that the players would not fully know what is going on (aka not knowing all the roles in the game). These facts would be revealed by the narrations (not the facts over who is who, of course, but the facts of which kind of roles there are - and there would not be any shifting roles: everyone stays in the role they are given in the beginning!) but they would have to be thought about, giving something more for the villagers and the villains tochew about.

(Just trust me on this. I have thought of a host of different initial arrangements and how would they play and have tried to come up with one or two possible ones that seem equal)

How would you like a kind of a Gallup before the game? I thought one way of enlivening the Day1 could be revealing the results of a villager-poll where people could have "secretly" told me (by PM's) before the game who they are afraid of and who they tend to look at symphatetically (I would be making a formal questionnaire on this to every player by a PM before the game starts). Infused into the Day1 narration that could give people something to pick up upon as the results would be the shared beliefs of the village (with no individual points revealed). Just one more way of trying to make the Day1 a bit more reasonable...

After all this, I also admit enjoying the really basic games.

It's up to you which one you wish to take on. A mildly experimental one (with more than one ranger and possibly one or two other extra-roles, like a seer, a hunter, a cobbler, or something; possibly unknown to the villagers but by interpreting the narrations) or a basic game. I'm happy with both, but would surely like to try the ideas I have been entertaining in my head the last month...

These thoughts I think should be shared here. After I have enough points on one way or another I will start an admin thread where we can continue this untill all is set.

Up to now it seems that Durelin and Rikae have signed up to whatever comes. Also I have talked with Lommy today and know she will be in too.

So the preliminary list of players stands in:
Durelin
Rikae
Thinlómien

Feel free to join and make your comments on the above questions. The admin thread will be opened as soon as there is some preliminary agreement on behalf of enough of the people whether we will go for a game of rangers fighting the wolves in one or another version or with a basic-basic game...

PS. I will be considering the importance of any "WW-character roles" with the result of the kind of game chosen, so at least for now there is no hurry in getting an occupation as I'm not sure we'll need them.

Hmm... It's too hard to resist... :( Count me in!

I vote for the most confusing version you have thought of.

But first: When does Day end? When (about) will the game be going on?
Next weekend I'm off to somewhere...

Well, I'm all for experimentation! Anything that will require new strategies, and keep us on our toes...

The (updated) attendance so far:
Durelin
Rikae
Thinlómien
Volo
Kath
Kitanna?

I could take up to 16-18 players, but we'll see how many we'll be able to sign up for this one...

The Deadline would be something like 9-10 PM GMT. With an avalanche of argumentation I might change it, but at least for now this would be the most convenient for me and securing I can take care of the endings and the beginnings of the days / nights...

I predict being thoroughly confused ... but count me in Noggie! This experimental version sounds like fun.

If it's all the same to you, 10 pm GMT would be infinitely better than 9, as far as I'm concerned; 9, or 4 EST, will find me still in school Tuesday and Thursday.

Sounds interesting and I'd like to play. But I may not be able too. Nogrod if you could please put a question mark by my name. I'll have definite answer in a day or two.

Done. I think it will take a few days to sign up enough people so probably we're ready to start the game at earliest the next week (not the week that starts tomorrow, but in 7-8 days from now). Just to inform you to count your scheduals.

I mean 18 players would be just luxurious but we can start with about 15 too. All this makes the starting-date move there and fore.

I'll try to come about with an admin thread tomorrow.

Count me in! :)

I'm all for experiments as well, and I trust you to make it well-balanced for both sides. The deadline is excellent for me and I'm already looking forward to that questionnaire.

Count me in

As long as it starts in about a week there should be no problem.

People flooding in in quite a pace...

But it's great! And this game seems to be gathering good players too... I almost can't wait! :D

I was going to take a 'breather' for a while...but me miss Nogrod's game!? Pah, aint gonna happen. ;)

The (updated) attendance so far:
Durelin
Rikae
Thinlómien
Volo
Kath
Kitanna?
Macalaure
Rune son of Bjarne
Boromir88
Mithalwen?
Lalwendë

I will be opening an admin thread in a short while (just got home)...

Good to see you all!

Another seven would be special and great! :)

The admin thread is now opened. It is here.

Please continue the discussion about this one there.

Signing up will be made there too.

I hope to see you in the game that throws us back to the things that gave birth to the story of Beren and Lúthien!

Mac, you have no problems modding the next game? (Just asking (Well, actually no, but want tell why.).)

As I understand it, this is the current list:

Mac
Volo
Menel
Fordim
Morm

I've been preparing my game the last days, but if you have a good reason, Volo, then we could switch positions. Wouldn't be a problem to me.

Otherwise, I will put up the admin thread within the next two days. I could start this weekend or early next week, whatever suits you.

It is going to be a simple game again, three wolves, seer, ranger, hunter, cobbler and as many cannon fod..*cough* innocent villagers as want to join.

Mac, sign me up for cannon fodder. :p

Oh, and one other thing...what's the limit on the length of the mod list? Because if there's room to get in line, I have something in mind....

You're most welcome! :)

As I understand it, the limit is five. So you should be able to be put down once that I'm off.

I'd like to play, too, Mac. Maybe I'll live longer this time.

Excellent!

I was too excited about it. The admin thread is already up and running.

As much as I'd like to play in your game, I won't, too many things left undone because of werewolf...

The next list:

Mac has his admin thread underway so

Volo
Fordim
Morm
Rikae

Volo, are you able to commit to modding the next one?(after Mac's)

Fordim has not been in this thread since his "sign me up" post. I have no idea if he is still going to mod.

PS: Sorry I wasn't able to get this info up sooner. RL is unfair sometimes :(

Edit: Foley is unable to mod her game, therefore, Rikae you are on the list :)

I guess I can. Timewise it can be a problem as I'm away 1-10.03 and probably busy the next week. The game has been planned already for a long time, so the only problem is the time.

Kath, still interested in helping? :)

Sure! But it'll have to be by PM or e-mail as my MSN is just so untrustworthy these days I barely use it. That ok?

Menel, would you like to swich places with me? I have a feeling that I won't be able to mod a game during that time.

Is Menel even here anymore?

His last post was about a month ago, and it was this one. :(
