Admin Thread for Werewolf XLVIII: When Virtual Becomes Reality

[The Sixth Wizard]

**Drops everything. Reads the outline of the game. Doesn't even read the rest of the Admin Thread. Sign up for WereWolf straight away.**

Finally a werewolf I have the time to be in!

How's it going, long-time-no-see-ers?

Oh yes, as for a role, make me a nitpicky grammar Nazi. Ending a sentence with a preposition I will not like!

Blast. I was thinking of doing that. Then again, that'd be no fun for me anyway. I'll just have to be a person who makes occasional "accidental" mistakes. Have to keep you on your toes, after all.

And welcome to the game, by the way!



Brinn, any ideas for deadline? Or still up in the air?

Oh, and I was thinking about maybe being a person who, essentially, is in the wrong fandom. For example, talking about Doctor Who (spoiler-free of course, for my fellow American Whovians) or....blah, I don't know.....anyway talking about fandoms other than Tolkien. It was just one of the ideas I've been tossing about. I'll let you know for sure before the game starts. *apologizes for her silly indecisiveness*

Hello all-

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you. I see no reason to delay the game another week as we seem to have plenty of players. However, my weekend was longer and busier than expected so I would like to delay starting by a day so that I have some extra time to recollect my thoughts if that's alright for everyone.

So unless any serious problems arrive, I plan to start the game on July 2. The deadline will be 11pm GMT. That deadline seemed to work well for the last game and I think it's a fair enough split for those who wanted an earlier deadline and those who wanted a later one.

Hi Sixth! Glad to see you return to WW. I noticed someone had mentioned you'd be interested in joining the game after DW and I was hoping you'd get my PM in time.

Good news: I have managed to convince Formendacil to join. He hasn't chosen a role yet, so I'll have to remember to ask him about that.

But before I start the game, I do need to know if Mith and McCaber can confirm their participation. Also, if anyone else still wants to sign up they are welcome to up until I send out the roles, which will happen shortly before Night 1.

As for regards to the hunter, I think I like Mith's suggestion best:

Using the logical hunter gives a good middle ground between the two extremes.

Okay, off the update the list...

[satansaloser2005]

*mutters slightly* Heh. Kidding, kidding. If nothing else, it'll give me all the more reason to want off work each day.


Whoa....wait a tic that means the first day'll be on the fourth. Excellent! (No seriously. I don't have anything to do on Friday until the evening, as I generally have, ya know, no life. Perfect for werewolfing though. )



Well, I was thinking I'd be one of those people who can't take a joke (not that we have any here) and are easily offended and pretty much a stiff-necked (but completely oblivious) slightly mean pain in the bum. But is that too much like Eomer?

[satansaloser2005]

Shoot. I was referencing his character choice. You know what I mean.

Sorry, Eomer. It's like 3:30, and I'm clumsy at my best.




Anyway, if Eomer would rather I chose something a little farther away from his decision I'd be cool with that. I rather like the cross-fandom idea actually....I could lend much discussion to why the King's Cross scene at the end of Deathly Hallows was pretty much a complete rip from the whole "Oh Gandalf dies....just kidding!" thing.

(Meh, you get the point. I'll think about it some more. Heaven knows I should be able to come up with something better than miscellaneous crossovers)

That's an interestsing idea. So what would you call that? Maybe....misguided fan?

Hmm...yeah, that might be slightly too close to his role. Unless you were an easily offended purist...

Btw, for those having trouble coming up with a role *coughKathcough* I recommend checking out other options in the links Ka provided. I read all the FlameWarrior roles today and some of them are really funny.

[Mithalwen]

Oh I can't resist though I shouldn't.... sinceI don't want to be dependent on Boro - I think I will try therapist or?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

It seems a bit similar to my character. He'll be without a sense of humour, and a trendy who has little knowledge of Tolkien. I'm looking forward to playing this.

They're especially delicious after a heated WW game. I recommend it.

The therapist is a good role. I was going to pick it, but I thought it was too close to some of the other roles people would chose later and because I'd ruin it being myself.
So, you should keep it.


Target I believe is one that we all can play in WW, eventually. Tireless Rebutter is always at home here though too.

Oh, and an apology for being confusing with my earlier reply. I had a job interview that day, for one that wouldn't be a complete waste of time, so I was a bit anxious and all over the place. The good thing is, I ended up with the job, and I can still play WW.

[satansaloser2005]

Sorry Brinn! My internet (well, the internet I use anyway....) had a major hiccup so I haven't really been on the last day or so.


I'll stick with being, as Emily and I would say, "in the wrong flipping fandom," aka making comments about every canon BUT Tolkien's. Sorry I didn't come up with something better, but hey. It's fitting and still entertaining.


And an announcement just in case. If I'm not here when I say I will be, it's because of the dodgy internet connection. If nothing else, I'll go back to parking lot internet, but I should be fine. Just letting you all know in advance should I suddenly get gagged by a lapse in the wireless. Thanks! *toddles off until day phase*

~~Sally the Insufferable~~

[satansaloser2005]

Oh noes.

[Gwathagor]

This looks to be a fun game. I'm sorry I won't be around for it; I've never played with a cobbler before.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Bloody Angamandi. Formendaga is playing?!?!

Bring out the . . . I don't know, pitchforks?

We are, after all, sworn enemies. (Sorta . . . )

Capers madly in the Canadian tongue*.

I will be a bit quieter the first one or two Days - if I'm alive that is - as I got a fast-option to go and meet my father in the east of Finland. I will be there from Friday to Monday-Tuesday. There is a net connection there and I will most certainly play, but understandably I will not be lurking around all the time but meeting also my old friends.

Just for you to know...


PS. I can be the Lacanian therapist trying to overcome both the Freudian and the Jungian one...
