Fresh blood is always welcome, Annunfuiniel.

I'm certainly ready for a game and don't want to wait 'til August.

Eönwë · 06-04-2009, 05:59 AM

These next few weeks are exactly when I won't be able to mod or play, but after that I may be able to (then again I'd like to mod quite a large game, so its probably better if I wait a bit).

Nogrod · 06-04-2009, 07:11 AM

Just go ahead with it Brinn!

And welcome Annunfuiniel, nice to meet you!

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-04-2009, 02:01 PM

Hooray, a Brinniel game!

Mnemosyne · 06-04-2009, 02:52 PM

Thought I'd jumped in too late to call the modslot. ^_^

I'm in my two-month period where I think I could mod. Not entirely sure about playing yet, though.

We just finished a chaos game, didn't we? Mine would be fairly orderly...

Anyway, if it's settled that it's Brinn then it's she. Otherwise I'd like to jump in.

Okay, will do.

I have the weekend off, which should give me some time to prepare. I'm hoping to have an admin thread up by Sunday night, if not earlier. I thought up this game months ago, so I'm looking forward to actually trying it out. It's a bit experimental, but it shouldn't be too chaotic; no made-up roles at least. You'll see.

Oh, and I hope none of you have anything against piracy...

Why thanks Eomer....or wait..... on second thought, you make that sound a bit eerie.

Nice to meet you too, Nogrod!

So, I need to do some more reading to get a better picture on how these games work. But looks mighty interesting! And piracy?? Arrrrr, ahoy and yo ho ho!! Sounds great!

Brinniel · 06-08-2009, 12:02 AM

The admin thread is up!

I automatically signed up those who showed obvious interest in joining the game on this thread. So please let me know if you aren't playing after all so I can remove you from the list. Thanks!

Naria · 06-10-2009, 02:08 AM

The list:

Noggins
Mnemo
Lari
Eonwe

Tentative:

Legate
Gwath

Thanks to all who kept the list orderly

Mnemosyne · 07-02-2009, 04:36 PM

Next week (starting Sunday) is my grace week when I get a lot of time off, so it'd be an ideal time to start a game.

The game itself is quite simple; the one thing different about it is that I'd like those who play to have as their secondary focus (primary focus = winning, of course) telling a good story through the game.

If people are up for it I'll get a signup thread asap; however, I don't want to do anything to proceed until I've heard from Nog because I know we've kept him waiting for a while.

Nessa Telrunya · 07-02-2009, 05:06 PM

I would like to join the next WW game, although I've never played it before >_>

No panic... I have no hurry. So please go forwards Mnemo!.

And welcome Nessa! Give it a go. It's fun.

Inziladun · 07-02-2009, 05:33 PM

All right. You twisted my arm.
Bloody addictive game.

Okay, Mnemo's game is ending within a day, but I will not be able to host a game until the end of August or early September.

So someone should once more over-ride me. I will just be away from the 'Downs from the early August to the late August with a too tight a RL schedual...

But to those interested let me reveal some initial things from my game to come (as I have finally created the concept).

The rangers of north were a tough bunch. So a game set into their time and place (Approximately the time of Bandobras Took and the wolf-invasion in the north - and when werewolves infiltrated also the rangers) would see no one dying easily: every death – whether it be a lynch or a Night-kill – would be fought between those trying to kill someone and those trying to save the one, and who knows who comes up triumphant or gets killed in the end? It might be someone just trying to protect someone else who gets killed – or someone just supporting the kill who might die. It all will depend on the skills and luck of the stout fighters – even if the chosen one will be facing a bad situation indeed among the battle hardened company.

So it will also be a game of loyalities. You have to back your mates even if it means putting yourself at the risk… You need to be ready to put your neck forwards for someone else you feel you can trust – from Day1! And you need to choose someone every Day and Night. But as a reward, you gain experience everytime you have been in a fight and survive it, and will thus be a better fighter the next time.

So you will not only vote for someone to lynch by Days but also for someone you’d like to stand side by side if it comes to it at the deadline. Also during the Nights, you should give the mod a name whom you’d be ready to defend if s/he was attacked.

You’re a bunch of rangers of the north and not some cattle to be slaughtered. You make a fight for it Day or Night – and you face some gruesome werewolves who have infiltrated your company getting better Night by Night unless you harvest them down!

Coming to your ‘Downs werewolf in late August or early September…

Formendacil · 07-26-2009, 08:04 PM

It's decidedly selfish of me to say it, but I'm glad, Nog that you can't start that game until September, because there's no way I can play in the next one, and if there's any way I can play in your ranger game, I wantss it, preciouss!

Gollum!

Erm... yeah.

Seriously... it sounds intriguing indeed; though you haven't laid out the rules, there is a flair of... shiriffs maybe? Or lovers? Something nice and complicated along those lines. And the story is in Arnor with Rangers! *likes Arnor and Rangers*

And, heh, if it's in September, there's even a chance (slim, but better by a long shot than August) I'll be able to play. I'm starting my graduate studies this fall, so my daily schedule should *hopefully* be more conducive to WWing, though we'll see. More conducive, anyway, than the summer holiday schedule is proving, and September should antedate most assignments.

And I haven't even mentioned the best thing of all: if Nog is moderating then he won't be playing! This means I won't start the game with a Philosophy-of-WW archnemesis.

Of course, I realise what this means... whoever does moderate an August game will moderate an even better game. I can only concede defeat now and sit here, (

<-- Green with envy) knowing how horrid is my lot in life.

Rikae · 07-26-2009, 08:15 PM

Hm, the ranger-game definitely sounds intriguing.

A case in point!

satansaloser2005 · 07-03-2009, 11:07 AM

Oooo, tasty duck. I mean, tasty Werewolf.

I'm in!

(And the sooner we start the better, 'cause I've got to take off again on the 19th)

Mnemosyne · 07-03-2009, 01:39 PM

...erm, except for this story to make sense all participants have to have read the books.

Besides, sally, who's going to take over when I can't for whatever reason fulfil my obligations?

Mnemosyne · 07-05-2009, 02:02 PM

FYI, my admin thread's up. I hope lots more sign on to play!

Mirandir · 07-28-2009, 08:48 PM
