Okay, this is how I did this. I went back and looked at the dates in which everyone signed up and Mac and Volo are right behind Nogrod and before Menel.

The list:

Foley
Nogrod
Mac
Volo
Menel
Fordim
Morm

Edit: Please no more sign ups until the list has been brought back down to five again. Thanks

Thanks Naria and sorry for missing those names. No more sign ups until we are down a bit.

Oddwen's game may be ending on Friday. If it does, my game has to start by the following friday, correct? Or do we just have to be discussing things by then?

I am going to be out of town and out of computer and internet reach next week from Tuesday through Thursday. I might be leaving Monday afternoon/evening, and I don't know when I'll be back Thursday. I may not be able to check this until Friday. That being said, it will get in the way of my preparation week.

Will this get me bumped, Morm? I didn't know about this leaving home until two days ago. If you don't want to wait longer (like, until the following Monday or so), I can go after Nogrod.

P.S. Perhaps I'm not absolutely clear on your rule - do you want one game to end and then a week later, another game to begin? Or do you want one game to end and then within the next week, planning for the next game to have begun?

Nogrod · 01-17-2007, 03:39 PM

As Foley has a preparation week ahead I think she should not be dropped from the list if she can't make it. Those are stuff that one can't foresee when reserving a modding. And I couldn't require for anyone to wholeheartedly delve into working on a WW-game in the middle of such an important week. Also, commenting on Foley's question, surely it's a bit tight schedual if we require the next one to actually start within one week as it takes some time to settle all things and get all the players in. What I understood from Morm's "rule" was the fact that he got annoyed by the last one that seemed not to get started as the mod was not to be seen or heard for a really long time - and I think he was not the only one...

I'm ready to wait for Foley in any case, but I have also quite a wealth of plans myself (I could basically start the sign-up tomorrow, if needs be, with some preliminary structures of the game explained), so if Foley thinks it a good idea and Morm agrees, I could shift places with her and run my game next while Foley could concentrate on her college-entrance and mod the next one.

Up to you Foley and Morm.

mormegil · 01-17-2007, 06:01 PM

Sorry for the confusion. What I hope/expect to see is that no more than one week after the last game we have some firm commitment on the part of the next mod, showing that they will be modding and giving a definite timeline to events. I understand that recruitment may take longer than planned but no I don't expect a game to begin within a week, in fact I would generally recommend against that as some people might need a break. Does this make more sense?

So, if I understand you correctly Folwren, I don't see any problem in you modding. I simply hope you have some sort of planning going on within a week. You could even start now and post a preliminary set of rules and your ideas for your game, if you would like.

Folwren · 01-17-2007, 07:45 PM

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!

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...

mormegil · 01-21-2007, 10:58 AM

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.

Rikae · 01-21-2007, 11:21 AM

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

No problem. I'll throw a sketch of the game in 24 hours...

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...
