Well. In earnest I believe we might make the 15 players (about) with a game with not-normal roles.

But making the same amount with definitive roles (eg. Nogrod playing Spawn, Valier playing Spm, Lommy playing Glirdan... etc.) will be much tougher.

I would love the last one, but I'm also afraid we will not have enough players here. Prove me wrong...

And really, if someone in the line of the TIG-thread wishes to take the game, please do take it. I have just volunteered because of my sick leave and because no one seems to be wishing to go for it.

I'd say go for it if no one speaks up soon, though of course first dibs should go to the rest of the people left on the mod list who have not passed their opportunity aside for now, I believe.

Diamond
Oddwen
Folwren

Are the next three on the last list who have not yet passed on modding, I think...

(I'm working from Naria's post.)

Well, I'd certainly be willing to start one after the current WWJ is over if nobody else will, and since the villagers are getting better and better now I'm thinking it's time for the Black Beorning to show up again.

However, I'll step aside if someone on the mod list or whatever steps in.

This idea of "not-normal roles" sounds intriguing. I'd like to try my hand at Nilpaurion Felagund's style, personally.

No, you wouldn't. Trust me on this.

Be quiet already.

You also have issues of lots of players have similar styles to some extent.

Although...Nilp is...Nilp.

Sure. But trying to be Spawn or Spm would be much more challenging... and much more fun indeed!

It's all the same to me who mods the game we're talking about here. Maybe the next Mod wishes something completely different and this discussion should be shoven off...

But if we are having a slow-down here, I might apply for the modding as I have two weeks of spare time to actually do something about it. But as well, I would really enjoy playing the game myself as well...

So who's next? So far all the people have just avoided their turns...

Actually, I'd like to be involved in playing the aforementioned game rather than modding it. I defer to whoever would like to mod that one.

If nothing gets started, though, I'll be doing a more "standard" one that'll involve the return of the werebear, which should hopefully be more challenging. Though perhaps adding a fourth Wolf might be a good idea...

I already said that I would mod if the people ahead of me on the list were not able or wanting to at this point.... I'm busy but I will be this same level of busy for a long time, ergo I'll just have to work around it if I ever want to mod again.

I could work on a post outlining my game (I've some posts in the Scenario thread about it) and put up a Sign Up thread. The only problem is, how long do you think it would take me to get 20 players? Because that's how many I'd like, and would be happy with more. If you think that someone with a smaller game idea should go next... well, would you all be adverse to me at least giving it a go? And if a week or so passes without enough players, just reverting to a more basic game?
