So let's see... Mith will tackle Bêthberry, Nogrod can go after B-W, the phantom has been after Esty for a while now, I believe... Rune, you should 'take care of' Thenamir. Who wants Mormegil?

But the fundamental rule is that it is all for the amusement of the mods .... we are your labrats....

Me and Mormegil have always been bitter villagers in the games we play together...

I really should deal with Thenamir. . .the question is: Should I defeat him with the sword or with song?
Since this is WW I actually think that Mormegil would be the first one I would want to see lynched. he seems to having a way of making enemies. . .

I really want to play but both my car and I are unwell which is limiting my extra curricular activities ...

So twelve players out of fifteen? For a second week? Yeah, it's summer and all that. I understand, but still...
Now where are you lurking people? The set-up looks so promising but sadly I have to say that I'm going to be away from July 27th to August 1st and then from August 5th for a week... So I possibly need to pull out from this. Well, that depends... If the game starts asap and we can get it going & you don't mind me being away for a a couple of Days gamewise then it's okay for me at least, but if the game doesn't start soon I will need to pull out...

I really want to play this game but my car has blown the head gasket (again
 ) and is B.E.R). Since I can just about make it to work (2hr each way commute!!! for 10 miles!!!!) I am not going to rush the biggest purchase of my life just to play (sorry I know I lack commitment...) 45 mins at lunchtime and perhaps half an hour after work in libraries is not going to be enough. I am hiring a car for the weekend(s) ..so I might be able to do more then ... so don't wait for me ... I suppose it would be too insane for Nogrod and me to gang up? That might just work logistically even if not game wise

You know, we should all club together and get Mith a lap-top and internet connection ...
 I really want to play this game too, but may be in difficulties if it doesn't start soon. We are away from 1 to 5 August. I could take my lap-top and hope for a wireless connection, but I am not sure that would go down too well with the family ...

I have a lap top - it is just that after 4 years I have not managed to get it to talk to the internet ...other than for a month back in the day ... by some fluke
I bought a mac cos it looked pretty and led a teenaged cousin who only really knows about PCs set it up....  Nothing in my house works ...technology is stressfull... and I don't have the time to sort things out .... I tend to lose the will to live after phoning "Helldesks)..and the corkscrew always works.... PS I am taking my god-father car shopping so I don't do something stupid like buy a barbie-pink cabrio on the "It looks pretty theory"

Even if we have enough players like... now, right this second... I'm about 120 miles from home. And as of this afternoon, I'll be three and a half hours north of here, deep in the Adirondacks to celebrate a friend's birthday far, far from internet connections, phone reception, and indoor plumbing.
So even if everybody recruits like mad while I'm away this weekend, the earliest I can start is Wednesday morning, the 25th...

Then I should withdraw from the game. . .
This saturday I will leave for an un-inhabited island in the northern Denmark and I do not think there is any internet for me to use there. . .even if there is I would probably not use it as the reason I go there is to be social. After that I will leave for the USA. So many places to be and revolutions to start. . .

Why don't we wait for a bit then? It's not been a good time lately what with the school hols, Harry Potter taking up all our time and Mithalwen's Motor Misery (I think you live on some mystic ancient ley line
). Though if we start soon we can maybe prevent Rune from stirring the proletariat and I am aching for some fun now I've finished The Book...

Oh Lal don't say that ... I have just bought a car (more specifically a Ka) so I hope my motor misery will be at an end, at the end of the week (I have bought a warranty too just in case.... )..
I am not really in to all that New Age stuff ..I know that the crop circles were manmade ... but the house does have some forest rights (the ponies used to "lane creep" till they introduced cattle grids)... will that do?

I will be back at "full enthusiasm" at Aug 12th the earliest.
After that I can play as the work begins and thence there will be no holiday trips or others... but before it... it looks very bad indeed now.

If we wait a bit, then I'll have to withdraw.
I will be unavailable August 5-17, and while I could still attempt to play afterwards if it is at all possible, I will be rather busy with a wedding followed a couple weeks later with me moving 3,000 miles back to school...

I didn't even want to pop in, knowing my holiday schedule, and seeing the situation, maybe it even does not have much sense. But if my presence in the game would change anything (and to think that I was planning to give it a break on holidays!), I could sign up, but (of course, there's one "but") like more people here, I'm going away in some time and couldn't play later than to 4th August. And from then on till September I'm totally out. It's up to the Mods to decide - if it is possible for me to play, and if it will help, I'm in. Otherwise, don't bother with me.

I will be away from August 8th, but then with my recent luck I would be long dead by then so it's hardly a worry!

The summer...
How fun it is the summer! But not ww-wise... Maybe we just wait until there are enough people back from their summer-camps? As I said, after the 12th of August I'm all in - and before that mostly out. And the same seems to fit many others as well... EDIT: X'd with Kath... well not all of us in the same schedule...

Also, if anyone's interested, I've got my game done (I host next, I think.) |

I move into college August 22nd, and so will not want to be committed to a WW game around that time...probably not for a while after classes start...
Also, I'm going on vacation nearly right before that....and the weekend of the 11th and 12th or whatever I'll be busy (I'll be busy, but I might be able to post at least once...), so...ergh. I guess my time is running short...

So I'm concerned about this game.
Because with everybody's schedules conflicting... And my schedule looking concerning... If I knock the cobbler out to simplify and even out good v. bad so we don't need spare players to begin, who can start tomorrow or Thursday morning? Because if we have to wait any longer, I'm going to have to give up my mod-spot...

I'll try and see who I can drag into it ASAP....
I'd hate to see the Cobbler go, but that might work. Edit: You can add CaptainofDespair to the list. Oh, and he said he could be an 'efficiency expert' for his role, if it matters.... Last edited by Durelin; 07-24-2007 at 04:48 PM. |

The cobbler is always fun but I'm fine with a smaller game to get it going.

I'm good to start anytime, and we're not going away now, so I'll be here for the duration.

Okay. Here's the deal. I'm going to get the game thread up. I'll send out roles (no cobbler) tonight and we'll start in the morning.

Roles have been issued. If you did not receive a PM from me, you are an ordinary villager. You'll probably hear from me before then, but if you do not, DAY ONE begins 10:00am EST tomorrow. That's approximately fourteen hours from the time of this post.
Sorry for the short notice...

The game thread is now open for play (I'm sorry, three minutes early...).
I'm leaving for a good part of the day, so I rather hope you don't need me. Good luck, have fun!

My apologies but I'm very probably not going to be here for the next Day. I'm up in Guildford til Sunday (it was originally only going to be for one night which is why I didn't bother saying anything in the planning stages) and I'm not sure whether I'm actually going to have a net connection yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get a couple of posts in but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Oh %$&£!
Someone called me over and I missed the $£"& deadline by two minutes!!!  And now I've seen the vote if it's any consolation I was going to vote otherwise anyway. Not that it matters *mutters darkly about strangling certain newspaper writers who cause me trouble at work...*

*still laughing at your rotten luck*
B88 will be covering mod duties this weekend, as I'm definately busy tomorrow and probably busy Sunday. Game-related messages should still be sent to both of us.

Going out of town this weekend so won't be able to participate in tomorrow's DAY, feel free to suspect but know that I can't defend.

You'd think y'all would've learned by now... Anyway, who do I send my game to to look over? I think I host next. |

Since the 'Downs has been down for however long over the past 24 hours, I'm giving the wolves/seer an extra 24 hours to do what needs doing.
We'll start the next Day 25 hours from now (our regular time).

I have some unexpected business to attend to, it came up rather quickly (in fact yesterday!) I don't know if Fea will be around or not, but if neither of us are here. You know what to do, talking/voting stops at 9, and everyone do what they're supposed to do.
I'm going to try and stick around for as long as possible, but the 9am deadline is going to be cutting it close. Sorry for any inconvenience.
