Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves)

[Volo]

Ok, I've posted the post.

If you want traditional, don't sign into my game!

[Gil-Galad]

i signed in on the otehr thread..


and ouch Volo, you didn't add me to the player list even though i already volunteered to join the next game... breaking my heart

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

The excitement over Volo's game didn't fall off yet, but I'm already posting on this thread with the obligatory question, "Good lunch, and what do we have for dinner?". I.e., when does some other game start? Well, now I am, of course, on the "Lost-Age radio waves"... but, my question can be as well just general... I have promises to keep (the addressed know ;) ). It's true that I'll have a hard time to "tune back" on "regular" WW after this brilliant in-story game (unless Volo wants to continue in some sort of marathon), but, Werewolf is Werewolf...

And since I am already here, I'm going to ask one other question. I don't know if it's not too daring for a relative newbie, but I was thinking if I could be added to the list of future modding candidates. I had some ideas shaping in my mind quite some time, so I thought I might as well try to mod my own game some time in the future. It just looks like that I'll succeed to bring the idea of a "long-time WW" to be played on annual holiday camp me and my friends organize :cool: so, while already preparing to go with this and having some scenarios in mind, I thought I might try here as well...
The only thing I was afraid of a little bit is time: from what I saw, one game with all the signing up etc. takes +- four weeks, but that's not for certain and thus, there is no guarantee when a game on the list would come into place. So even if I signed up for the list, would it eventually be possible to move or switch me or whatever if my turn somehow turned out to be in some time that's not much good for me?

[Naria]

Updated list

Morm
Rikae
SPM
Legate

There's room for one more :D

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

If those I manipulated in my last game will forgive me enough and there's interest, I'd love to mod a legitimately no strings attached game of three wolves, one seer.

But I've modded a couple times and if there's somebody who hasn't and wants to, no need to include me on the list.

[Volo]

And since I am already here, I'm going to ask one other question. I don't know.....blahblahblah
Wow! You can sign me in already! And don't worry about being new, I signed in for mod-time as soon as I played my first game ever. ;)

[Kath]

Is morm around? And if he is is he still willing to mod? I'm quite antsy to join a game at the moment, it's been a while!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Is morm around? And if he is is he still willing to mod? I'm quite antsy to join a game at the moment, it's been a while!Ditto.

[mormegil]

Right now life has been too crazy and I'm trying to write sufficiently for the RPG's so no I won't be able to at this time. Rikae, would you be able to take my spot?

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I know I've only been in one game here, but I've modded WW on other forums, if you need an extra person to fill out your list. I'm definately joining the next game to play, though. :D

[Naria]

Psst, Morm clean out your inbox :p

[Rikae]

Right now life has been too crazy and I'm trying to write sufficiently for the RPG's so no I won't be able to at this time. Rikae, would you be able to take my spot?
Um...I was afraid of this...
I'll need at least a week to prepare. Sorry everybody...

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Um...I was afraid of this...
I'll need at least a week to prepare. Sorry everybody...
Hey, c'mon...
*We-want-werewolf! We-want-werewolf!*

But actually I think, if people could start signing up in the time you make preparations, well, it would be good and speed up the process, no? Of course, you'd possibly have to put here at least some basic outline of what sort of game it would be... but for some people, this doesn't matter :smokin:

(P.S. And yes, I know the word that's in your mind now: Addict!!!)

[mormegil]

Psst, Morm clean out your inbox :p

Clear

[Naria]

Here is your new list :)

Saucie
Legate
Fea
Shast
Lommy

[Thinlómien]

I'd love to mod a game, but I probably can't do it before mid-August (since I have no chances of modding one from mid-July - when I think my game would be scheduled to begin at earliest - to mid-August)... So could I be added to the bottom and people after me in the list could mod before me, if the fifth game from now is to be before that (like I'd think)...? Or should I just sign up later?

[mormegil]

So could I be added to the bottom and people after me in the list could mod before me, if the fifth game from now is to be before that (like I'd think)...? Or should I just sign up later?

It is difficult to gauge how long each game will take and what the wait time is in between games. If sign up is slow obviously it could delay the game significantly. I'm hesitant to get the list too long also. I would consider 4 people to be a 3 to 4 month period so it may work out just fine and I can't remember for certain but I think I specified a list max of 3 or 5 so go ahead and add Lommy but no more after her until we clear one more off.

[The Saucepan Man]

Looks like I am next on the modding list. I have a game plan worked out but, before starting up recruitment, there are a few points to mention:

1. Mormegil was, I think, next in line before Rikae but was unable to mod at that time. I'm happy to make way for you, morm, if you are ready to mod now.

2. My proposed game is similar to Rikae's, in that the roles will be unknown (though not, in themselves, necessarily similar to the ones that she had) and will be a quite big game (20 players+). If people would prefer something a bit different, then I am happy to make way for a simpler game and mod my game after that.

3. I am away from 15-18 June and will be very busy over the weekend of 23 June (my 40th birthday party :eek: ). So, if the game was still going at that time, there would have to be a break (unless there are any volunteers to co-mod).

Subject to all that, I can start recruiting right away.

[mormegil]

No go ahead. I've punished myself because I have removed myself now twice and I think that if that is done I would make it so that that person could not mod a game for a while and I hold myself to the same rules.

I'm not sure how much time I could commit but I may sign up for your game Saucie.

[Rikae]

Sign me up, Saucie!

[Durelin]

I have officially graduated from high school so all that crap that sadly kept me from Rikae's game (I am sooooo, sooo sorry...I feel so bad about that, and I am quite p.o.-ed that I missed it, particularly the chance to play with fire and werewolves...) is out of the way.

So sign me up, please, and if it looks like anything else is going to get in my way before the game starts, I promise I will back out rather than leave everyone hanging. I am so sorry for that...

[Aganzir]

I would like to play too, but I'm afraid I have little chance to be online during 15-17 June (it's my friend's birthday and we're going to her summer cottage), and on 20 June I'll travel to Hungary.
But if the game starts early enough so that I won't miss too many days, I'd be happy to play.

[Gil-Galad]

i'm in...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Shasta: *signs up*

[Volo]

Unknown roles? Again? Why?

...

Sounds great! I'm deffinitely in!

[Nogrod]

Absolutely in!

I can't fathom Saucie's game without participation....

Ha-haa.. my birthday is only at the beginning of December... You oldie! :cool:

PS. Nice to see Morm around as well. I have been missing your sarcasm lately...

[Boromir88]

I would love to get in another one here, but a lot of it will depend upon the voting deadline. I don't want to be stuck in another situation where I can't be around for most of the day.

[Meneltarmacil]

Hm, unknown roles? I'm glad to see my idea taking off like this.

Put my name down while you're at it. Note that I'm two hours behind my usual time, though, since I'm considerably farther to the west. I'm probably in with Gil-Galad and Mormegil as far as the timezone is concerned.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'm getting the feeling I should either

A: Be in awe

or

B: Be very scared

:eek:

[The Sixth Wizard]

I will be signed in an upward direction please. :)

[Thinlómien]

Sign me in.

If Noggie and Aganzir are able to play I suppose I'm able to play as well.

The sooner this starts, the happier I am. :D

[Volo]

Oh, and I'd like to note that I might be having a very wierd logic in the game. Just telling, now before I get my role.

Also, is it anyhow possible to sign in the modlist for the second half of August (or so) or am I too late?

[Thinlómien]

I guess the modding list is now closed, but watch out after Sauce's game has started because then he's not on the list anymore and there's space for one more mod on the list.

[Naria]

Legate
Fea
Shasta
Lommy

Sorry for the delay. Saucie's admin thread is up! There is now room for one more mod :)

[Thinlómien]

If there's room for one, should you add Volo? :)

And Naria when will you actually take part in a game yourself? We miss you... :)

[Mithalwen]

I ..will be very busy over the weekend of 23 June (my 40th birthday party :eek: ).

I hope it is undercover.... I happen to know that it is always a good chance of vast amounts of rain on 23rd of June... my 21st for example was the wettest June day since records began. Other birthdays have been spent being resolutely British at Wimbledon hoping to goodness that the rain will stop before Cliff Richard starts to sing... I am not being entirely flippant in my profile....

[mormegil]

I have spoken to Naria and while there is still a great deal of interest in modding I think it wise to limit the number of games modded by an individual. I realize that some have modded more than one and in those cases I don't see a problem as the time frame has been significant. However, I think at least 6 months should go by before somebody mods again, unless of course there aren't sufficient mods but I don't see that as a problem. Please take that into consideration when signing up to be a mod.

[Volo]

Ok. In that case I guess anybody willing to mod before me, can do that. Lucky you, who do!

[The Saucepan Man]

I hope it is undercover.... I happen to know that it is always a good chance of vast amounts of rain on 23rd of June...Well, we are having a Marquee. But I am rather hoping that June's weather will make up for the current poor showing.

[Rikae]

So, Legate.....

;)

(Put me at the top of the list, OK? :D )

[Volo]

(Put me at the top of the list, OK? :D )
No you don't! I was first, ages ago. :p

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

No you don't! I was first, ages ago. :p
That's true, Volo practically signed up some month ago :D

But I hope this does not make a problem, Rikae, you'll be on the (also very important) second place. Or if you wanted something really special, I can give you the first place from the bottom or something like that...

[Volo]

Umm... Legate. I m- mi- mightnotbeabletoplay... *gulp* Since I don't have a computer myself at the moment and my family is returning from Mor- umm.. Ukraine tommorrow, I won't be able to use the one I'm currently using at all. That would mean the I'd have to do like Lommy did for a long time and go to the library, and that would have been fine with me. Except for the fact that I'm going to a camp on the 24th and I'll return on the 1st. Although I'll probably leave for Germany straight after that... :(

Sorry... Rikae will probably have to take my place in the queue.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I get Rikae's place, then! :P

[Nogrod]

You can count me in as well Legate!

I have two reservations though:

About the old pagan Midsummer's Eve which the Christian conquerors of our lands have never been able to trick away from us Finns (St. John's day... who knew that? ;) ) I will be at our family's summer cottage having a party. In Finland it's forced to be out of the real calenderic day of the Midsummer's eve to be the weekend - not to interfere with the labour market for the capital gain (so here you see the real forces of this world, the Markets). So I would be away from Friday 22nd to something like Monday 25th. If that doesn't maim the game I'm all in!

Secondly: be ready to meet a different Nogrod! I'd like to change the playing style of mine and it's time for something completely different... It's another thing how well I can live up to this promise but I will try just for the fun of it!

So with these reservations I'm in.

[Macalaure]

Sign me up, Legate!


So I would be away from Friday 22nd to something like Monday 25th.Don't worry. I would never try to lynch you while you're being away.

*coughvalier'sgamecough* :D

[Thinlómien]

I'd so much like to play but I guess my situation is hopeless because I have the same midsummer-thing as Nogrod and I will be going to Berlin on the 30th... So I guess I'll miss the game. Hope you guys will have fun though. :D (I guess I can't trust on dying early enough to play in the game... ;))


And I took the liberty to update the modding list, as I've decided that instead of modding alone I will co-mod with Aganzir. So, the modding list:

Legate
Fea
Shasta
Lommy and Aganzir

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Now, now! I think if we start early (of course depending on the speed of assembling the people), you Finns might be able to participate for quite a long time. And if nothing else, they can always lynch/kill you before you are forced to depart ;)

Volo, that's really a shame... you might try at least, but if it's worth it... decide for yourself...

Seeing that the discussion about SpM's game is probably solved, and the queue is forming, I'd put up the admin thread today, and then we'll see... (meaning we'll see if someone doesn't back off :D )

[Volo]

Volo, that's really a shame... you might try at least, but if it's worth it... decide for yourself...
I might be able to play in July. But I doubt that getting the game started will take that long. Real pity though... :(

[Rikae]

If it takes that long, I won't be able to play! :eek:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

If it takes that long, I won't be able to play! :eek:

Don't worry, (unfortunately for Volo) I'd also like to start it as soon as possible... So whoever wants to join, don't think twice! Admin thread coming up in a few minutes...

[Naria]

Updated list

Fea
Shasta
Lommy

Legate's admin thread is up! There is now room for two more mods :)

[Oddwen]

Hi all, just a public ANNOUNCEMENT, a few of you have heard this already.

I have decided to not play in any more WW games for an indeterminate time. I've been trying to get involved a little more in RL (gasp!), my schedule is all over the place, plus I really don't enjoy playing (gasp again!).

Thank you all for your past invitations, please don't count me out of future mod lists, and if you need a theme song, you know where to glance suspiciously.

~Oddwen the Party Pooper

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Hey kids. I know I'm next on the list to mod and the plan has been to co-mod with Boromir88. Trouble is, I'm not sure if I'm going to have a consistent internet connection. As of right now, I do and I'm fine. But if you don't hear from me when it's my turn, do what you need to do.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Hey there darlings.

B88 and I have agreed to co-mod it up on this game. I'll take care of business during the week and while I'm out partyi-- I mean... working... on weekends, he'll cover the rest.

I'll put up an Admin/Discussion thread in a bit for recruiting and question/answer purposes.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

For anybody who hasn't found it and wanted to, the planning/discussion thread for the next WW game is located here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=527390#post527390) for sign ups and game-chat.

[Gil-Galad]

i've thought it out and i would like to add my name to the mod list, i have came up with ideas and i hope i won't get bogged down like last Christmas so that would make the list

Updated list


Shasta
Lommy
Gil-Galad


i already have a name for my game too... just to want you for my game, you should go on youyube and watch Venture bros, harvey birdman, clone high and more if you want to understand exactly the premise of my game... other then that it is going to be comical at most

another update, sorry but i am excited for this now, as i said what shows it wil lshadow, it will me most closely to the old comic books too, i will explain further when it is my time...

Update again...

i don't want to be a ready-neddy, but i have pretty much everything laid out all i need is the characters for the story, so i will state that if the next 2 in line have problems going after Fea's game, i am ready, andi think you will enjoy my game...

[mormegil]

Naria, does Gil fit the previous requirements set?

[Naria]

Gil, you fit the requirements

Shasta
Lommy
Gil

There are two more mod positions open for those who wish:)

[Volo]

Weell... I'm more than willing to take a place, but it hasn't been six monthes yet...

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'm next to host?

Eeeexcellent. ^_^ *rubs hands together*

[Thinlómien]

I and Gil have agreed to change spots because I'm relatively busy in the near future and Gil' s eager for his game to start. So the new modding list should be like:

Shasta
Gil-Galad
Thinlómien

So Naria if you would be so kind to change it, I'd be pleased. :)

[Gil-Galad]

So when Shasta starts his game up i will get the admin thread ready to go and get myself organized, i wouldn't mind a co-mod to help me if i miss a time or even just getting a end-day story ready if i come across a writers block

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Do I need to send my game of to someone, to make sure it's balanced and everything?

*worried*

[mormegil]

Do I need to send my game of to someone, to make sure it's balanced and everything?

*worried*


Feel free to PM me your idea I will look it over and get back to you if you are worried.:)

[Gil-Galad]

the best thing to do is start an admin thread, there people can talk it over with you and join the game

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Um.

My game is ready, but the theme is Ireland... is that too far from LotR for comfort? Because I could change it...

[mormegil]

I'm not a big fan of it personally and I think many stray too far on their naming conventions but no official ruling has ever been laid down. Use your judgement in this instance and perhaps something a bit more official (hopefully not :eek:) will appear eventually.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Anyone else have any input?

o.o?

[Gil-Galad]

like i said before start an admin thread listing your details! we can't give you any input by what you've told us so far.

so... start an admin thread!!! so it shows the game is on the way or else people will forget about it and not be joining...

[Thinlómien]

Hey, come on people, there's a game (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=530295#post530295) to play - what are you waiting for? :smokin: I haven't played ww for a long time and I'm itching for a game. And, obviously, I need someone to play with me! I need you. So, come on! Shasta's waiting for you to sign up...

:Merisu:

[Nogrod]

I might wish to put my name into the list of the coming moderators as well. I enjoyed the last one a lot - and as I don't seem to get to the end of the game otherwise I'd like to moderate one to get through a game... :rolleyes:

This time I would like to keep it simple and concentrated by way of the game mechanics (eg. a very basic game) and try to boost it in other ways. I have a few loose ends in my mind now but there seems to be a few games before my possible turn so I think I have time to recollect these ideas into a consistent game.

[Gil-Galad]

My admin thread is now up and running, just to let everyone know...

[Thinlómien]

But morm and Naria, what about the modding list? I'm next, but there's no one after me. The only ones that have expressed interest in modding soon are Volo and Nogrod - both of whom don't qualify if you take the time issue into account. But as there seems to be no other volunteers, should the list be something like this?

Gil-Galad (admin thread opened)
Lommy
(someone who hasn't modded for six months if such person who desires to mod appears)
Volo
Nogrod

[Volo]

That's very kind of you, Lommy, but to say the truth, I feel a bit too busy to mod right now... :/ Anybody willing to mod before me (or after Nogrod), please do so.

[Thinlómien]

That's very kind of you, Lommy, but to say the truth, I feel a bit too busy to mod right now... :/ Anybody willing to mod before me (or after Nogrod), please do so.So it should be something like this now:
Gil-Galad (admin thread opened)
Lommy
(someone who hasn't modded for six months if such person who desires to mod appears)
Nogrod
...?

[Naria]

The new, very short, list!:p:D

Lommy
Nogrod
Volo

Volo, are you sure you do not want to mod? You have been waiting so patiently. By the looks of sign up(modding and players), you would have enough time to not be so busy when your turn comes around?

[Gil-Galad]

I'm still waiting on more people for my game thread... its a very slow time for WW...

[Thinlómien]

Yes, do join Gil's game, otherwise poor Lommie will never get to mod (or to play, for that matter)... :p

(But, if you don't like playing in two ww-games in a row, just skip Gil's game and wait for mine... :Merisu: ;))

[Volo]

The new, very short, list!:p:D

Lommy
Nogrod
Volo(?)

Volo, are you sure you do not want to mod? You have been waiting so patiently. By the looks of sign up(modding and players), you would have enough time to not be so busy when your turn comes around?

Thanks, but I'll mod only if nobody else is willing to mod before me now. I do have four ideas for original games and would love to give them to whoever wants to mod by them, but I've already booked most of this years weekends, or nearly. I'll ask for a place if I change my name. But I will mod if there are players and no mod.

[Volo]

Yeeesss! Please do add my name to the list. :)

[Thinlómien]

Itching for a ww-game? Missing lovers? Ever wondered what a werebalrog is like?

If you answered yes to any of those questions (and even if you didn't :p) look out for the admin thread of the next game, Tol-in-Gaurhoth XXXIX. It should be up tomorrow when I have (hopefully) finished planning with my co-planner Aganzir.

If you can't wait until tomorrow ;), you can of course sign up here and I'll add your names to the first post on the admin thread when I manage to make it.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Itching for a ww-game? Missing lovers? Ever wondered what a werebalrog is like?
:eek::cool::D
You can sign me in already even before the admin thread is put up. Surely I'm not going to miss that one.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

And me!

*plans on not being executed Day 1 for the fourth time in a row :P*

Hi! I'm pretty much newish here. One of my college friends told me about this site and said it was a fun place to play mafia (werewolves, etc.) I'm totally up for a game, although I'm used to quicker games, so I may not be up to the standards here. But I can definitely give it a shot. Count me in on the next game if you would please!

[Naria]

O'tay. Lommy's admin thread is up and running! Please take sign ups there.

Welcome! Hopefully you are going to like our style of playing... you could look at some older WW threads to see how it generally goes around here.

By the way, I see we could have a little problem with typing your name. You see, when someone has a long username, to avoid typing it in full, we usually invent some shortened version for him and call him like that. But in your case, I don't think calling you satan, or loser, or even 2005 would be a thing that you'd like. :D Maybe sal or something like that would be good enough, what do you say? :)

[Kath]

How about stan? We don't have a stan and it has all the necessary letters. :)

[satansaloser2005]

Haha. I'll go with Sally, that's what I get called on a lot of other boards. Thanks for the welcome! :)

[Kath]

Oh alright, but I still like stan. Think of the gender confusion there could have been! If you want to join up Sally just follow that link from Lommy.

EDIT: Er, Lommy is Thinlomien, before that little bit of confusion starts up again. :D

[Nogrod]

Btw. as it seems my game is the next I'd just like to hear a view or two about it. I'm open to all suggestions.

I have one basic idea which would be "the scouring of the Shire, Vol II". That would mean the players would be Hobbits in the world from where Frodo has left and where something Saruman did before he died has started to grow. It might enable a chance to play Sam, Merry and Pip as well as Rosie Cotton etc. I'm not sure if it should be role-oriented even if I like myself games with an RPG-element in them.

But this information just for you to have a consideration about it and to give me a few guidelines about what it might be you would be interested in.

Another question is whether it should be a "classical game" - which is just fine by me as I do like them - or whether you'd like to see some new ideas or surprises. So just let me know either by answering to this thread or PM'ing me about your thoughts.

Yea, I know I'm a bit early with this but as I will be away the next week I'd like to bring this thing forwards now so that I could prepare for it in time.

[Volo]

Sounds very good, do keep the theme!

I'm always for un-classical games and if it's role-based, I'd rather be some unknown hobbit.

[mormegil]

Noggie,

If you do a classic style game I may be interested. Let me know time frames please.

[Nogrod]

Noggie,
If you do a classic style game I may be interested. Let me know time frames please.I'm just back from Cuba and need to get some sleep with all the jet lag and stuff. But I would be interested in modding a traditional game indeed. I'll try to come up with a discussion thread tomorrow.

As soon as we have the 15 (+- a few) players I'm ready to go.

[Gil-Galad]

i just thought of another idea similar to my Werewolf gang wars, but its almost like a village war.

There are 2 villages each start with 6 people, so thats 12 people all together. that number includes 3 wolves and 3 gifted (seer, hunter, ranger) randomly split between the two. basically the villages take turns in either lynching a member or sending a member to the other villages

for example:

Day 1 - Village A lynches a person
- Village B votes to send a person over to village A
Night 1 - gifteds talk, they can only dream/hunt/protect someone in the vilalge they currently reside in
- wolves talk, wolves can only kill a person in the village they are most numerous in, if they are down to 1 wolf in each village, they must decide who to kill in one village.
Day 2 - Village A votes to send a person to Village B
- Village B lynches someone

it goes on till one village is completely gone, then the remaining village fights it out amongst themselves.

this is just a thought and i already am coming up with contradictions and dilemmas... but its my crazy thinking again...

[satansaloser2005]

Three words.

Count. Me. In.

And as for a role-oriented game, it's probably not my preference but I'm definitely willing to give it a shot! :)

[The Might]

Definitely must have another go.

[Farael]

Who's up next in the modding list, if we have one?

I'd very much like to mod a

Roleplaying Werewolf Game

and I should have plenty of spare time over the Winter break (starting on Wednesday)... but if anyone else is up for modding, they of course go first.

[Volo]

I'm first, but please, let's not start modding the next one just yet... I need to relax, and probably everybody else too, before the next game.

The very earliest starting day is 22nd of December.

[The Might]

After finishing this last game, I decided I would like to do one as well.
Probably some crazy idea. :D

[Brinniel]

Volo, are you really going to start a game on the final days before Christmas? If so, I certainly won't be able to join....I'll be out of town for the holidays. :(

What I'm really hoping is that someone will start a game either on the last few days of December or the first week of January. Any earlier or later, then I can't participate. It may sound selfish of me, but this might be my last opportunity for a WW game in awhile. So, I'd really love to join if I can.

[Volo]

Oh, Christmas... Indeed... I forgot about is as I decided not to celebrate it.

Well, I'll start the sign-ups on the 22nd then. I somebody still dares to play WW, I wouldn't were I not a mod.

Rikae, still willing to be a co-mod? I'll probably need the help in January.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

If signups are starting the 22nd, and the game doesn't start until after the holiday, I'll be there. I haven't played WW in a while, and the timing looks pretty good on this game. Yay! :)

[Rikae]

Rikae, still willing to be a co-mod? I'll probably need the help in January.
Oh dear... this is not good timing.
I'm going to be on vacation during the first two weeks of January. :(

[Volo]

If signups are starting the 22nd, and the game doesn't start until after the holiday, I'll be there. I haven't played WW in a while, and the timing looks pretty good on this game. Yay! :)

Great!


But since the game is going to be experimental, I'll warn everybody now and explain the basic rules:
The optimal number of players is 21 (!!), but it can also be 18 and in a worse case 15.

A third will be Wolves.
A third will be Special (Slight variations of the Seer, Ranger, Hunter and Cobbler).
A third will be Innocent.

Rules will be explained completely, I will add no surprises into the game.
There will be a single Lover at most.
The roles will be given out by random.

Votes will be revealed, but the roles of the players will be revealed only to certain players - still undecided on how to arrange this.

The mechanics go as such:
The game will start with a Day to Day phase, with no Nights between. The ammount of Days will be the ammoun of players divided by 3. (21 players, 7 Days).
On each of these Days only 3 players will be allowed to post in the thread and vote. One of the 3 players is a Wolf.
In a way this means that the last Day will be played before the real game.

After that phase the game will continue with 14 players like any normal game.


I'll answer any questions already now, but I'll write the rules more clearly later on.

If this feels like an impossible idea, we'll have to think of something else.

[Volo]

Oh dear... this is not good timing.
I'm going to be on vacation during the first two weeks of January. :(

Ok, no problem. I'll think of something. :)

[Brinniel]

Hmm....sounds like an interesting game.

If you need that many players, perhaps you should start sign-ups sooner than later? That way we won't have to wait as long to start the game.

Anyways, since I probably won't be around on the 22nd, you can sign me up ahead of time. I should be able to play as long as the game as long as it starts earlier in January. Because I can promise I won't be around much from January 16 and on.

[THE Ka]

Looks interesting, sorry to intrude, but I don't have much at all going on for once this time of year and thought I might join a werewolf game. Only thing I can imagine would be in the way, time wise, is work. Though, only having three people per day post sounds enterprising. :)


So, if my assumptions are right, the first phase is simply a process of elimination, then the traditional number of players, those still standing, thus continue on their merry way towards more elimination. Sounds fun. :)
Though I have a question about nights. After the first phase of 21 players, would then the 14 players have the day-night-day pattern being used, or the day-by-day pattern still?
Just curious... :p

Anyways then, If there is a spot still open I'd be most willing to join the game, please.

Room for one more:)

[satansaloser2005]

Sounds....well....how do I put this? AMAZING!

My interterm starts around the second week in January (I know when I just can't remember) so as long as the game starts after the 8th or so I'm totally up for it. Just let me know!

[Farael]

Hey Volo since you plan on taking a break, and my only free time will be these next couple of weeks, would you mind if I tried to start a game by the end of this week? that way it would probably be over before yours starts.

However, it could cause some trouble with sign-ups, so if you mind let me know and no hard feelings.

[Nogrod]

Hey Volo since you plan on taking a break, and my only free time will be these next couple of weeks, would you mind if I tried to start a game by the end of this week? that way it would probably be over before yours starts.If Volo's game will be on after Christmas / January I can't see a reason why there couldn't be a game before it...

It's only December 10th now...

[Volo]

After the first phase of 21 players, would then the 14 players have the day-night-day pattern being used, or the day-by-day pattern still?
Just curious... :p
Day-night-day.

I'll get the thread read this week (after a few days of sleep after the preveous game).

Farael, I guess that could happen, just don't steal my players. ;)

[mormegil]

I'd very much like to mod a

Roleplaying Werewolf Game



Farael, this idea has been discussed and quelched to a degree. Roleplay, as an official game, is to be only on the Roleplaying subforum. There are multiple reasons for this which have been discussed previously on this thread. Suffice it to say, that if you wish to do something similar to this that it has been done but it is considered an 'in character game' not roleplaying as there is a distinction and serparation that needs to be maintained.

[the phantom]

As a few of you are aware, I had an idea last summer for a special game of Werewolf. It is a type of game that has never been done before, though on the surface it will appear to be conventional. I've been wanting to launch it for a long while, as Fea can tell you. I asked her about guest-writing several months ago. My lovely schedule, however, has always been in the way of me actually launching the game.

Ah, but the seas have parted, and from now until my January classes begin, I have a window! Perhaps my last window before next July. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I have never been absolutely certain that I would have time to run the game, I never placed my name on the mod list. I spoke to Master mormegil about this problem previously, and he suggested that when the time comes I should simply pop onto the thread, state my situation, and see what the reaction is.

So here I am. Would a riot happen if I were to get a game rolling ASAP?

[The Might]

As I am always open to new ideas, I would like to take part in your game.
And as I am sure all understand that this might be one of the few opportunities you have due to the schedule, I don't see why making it now would be a problem. I mean, I for one don't mind waiting.
Hope the others agree. :)

[Nogrod]

I guess it's up to morm to decide / negotiate between Farael and the phantom...

But if Volo is going to bring his game on only after Christmas / early January there surely could be a place for a game before it.

And don't worry about other games "stealing players" Volo. You can start when you have gathered enough players fex. after the one going before has ended / is at it's later stages - as I saw your timetable was quite flexible anyhow. I think there are some freaks around who'd possibly wish to join both games... :eek:

[mormegil]

Please all feel free to give your feelings regarding this. I think it will be a masterful game and worthwhile. I do understand the phantom's problems with schedule and will try to accomodate but do not wish to step on anybody's toes.

*coughs and raises hand*

[Farael]

As to Morm's note, let's call it "in character" then... it's just a matter of semantics as far as I'm concerned so it doesn't matter how I call it... but if The Phantom really wants to have his game, then by all means go ahead... I meant to do a simpler, "quick" game (12 players tops) with only a Seer and three wolves (maybe two?) where there'd be penalties for posting "blatantly out of character" to encoruage people to take up a role and stick with it, rather than bantering a little on day 1 and then being all business.

Also, Phantom perhaps we could try co-modding a game? I don't know about your idea or any guest writers you may have, but I wouldn't mind it.

If not, by all means start your "innovative" game, there's a reasonable chance I'll have a little time for modding in January.

Edit: I'm not sure if my post seems "agressive" or not... I'm extremely tired and I just can't figure out if I'm using words with the right connotations....I mean no agression or hard-feelings, I trully don't mind how we describe the game, nor I mind Phantom modding (with or without me) right away.

[satansaloser2005]

*coughs and raises hand*


Yeah I'm an addict too. *hangs head in feigned shame and silliness* Hey, if I could keep my internet connection over break I'd be in on Farael/Phantom's game too (whoever's game runs) but I couldn't guarantee my daily presence so I'll have to sit that one out unless I can find a way to get more reliable internet than I get in the parking lot downtown (and at a less akward looking place :p) I'll keep ya posted.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

Depending on how the specific scheduling of games works out...I might just turn into one of those freaks as well. WW withdrawal does strange things to a person.

Ain't it the truth. By the way I love your picture thing. makes me giggle ;)

[Rikae]

After sitting out most of Nogrod's legendary game, I'm dying to play some werewolf! Please sign me up for the next game (Farael's and/or Phantom's). Mac and I will promise to be good and not discuss WW outside the 'Downs. :Merisu:

[Meneltarmacil]

I'd like to sign up for whichever one's available. I'd prefer the phantom's, but I'll gladly do Farael's game if the phantom's game doesn't work out.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Please all feel free to give your feelings regarding this. I think it will be a masterful game and worthwhile. I do understand the phantom's problems with schedule and will try to accomodate but do not wish to step on anybody's toes.

It is hard for us to voice our opinions as we don't know what Phantom has in mind. Personally, I am going to decide, when a game is up, whether it looks attractive enough for me to join it. From my POV I'd say it's really on the Mods how they negotiate. I'll be willing to join something interesting, a roleplaying (or in-role or how you call that) game as well, since I only moderated one and would like to experience it from the "inside". And as I said, I don't know exactly what TP plans, so I can't say (and neither of us can, probably).

[the phantom]

Also, Phantom perhaps we could try co-modding a game? I don't know about your idea or any guest writers you may have, but I wouldn't mind it.
I don't mind letting you in on my village, but I would hate to rob you of a village of your own.
If not, by all means start your "innovative" game, there's a reasonable chance I'll have a little time for modding in January.
Well, since you don't seem to mind (and I see that Might has approved as well), I suppose I will go ahead and start my village as soon as I get a final okay from morm.

EDIT: morm has approved. :)

And as a token of appreciation, Farael, you are welcome to be a guest-narrator if you wish (don't worry, it won't be that much work, just a day-beginning post most likely). In addition, I will inform you of the roles of the villagers (for your viewing pleasure), and also let you in on the secret twist that the game will feature. ;)

Also, do not sign up for my village here on this thread.

And don't sign up on the game thread either.

(those who have already requested a place before this post, I will save spots for you)

Send me a pm to sign up, but only after I've announced that I am ready on the game thread, and after you've read what the prerequisites are. The criteria isn't terribly exclusive, but there will be a participation rule or two that might cause problems, as well as a rule or two that will be given to a random individual. These extra rules must be followed, otherwise the individual will be killed off by me. (btw, this is not a game for someone brand spankin' new to werewolfing, only sign up if you have a bit of experience under your belt, gifted experience would be helpful just in case you are selected to be the special twist, I expect a high level of play)

Do you want us to hand in resumes? ;)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

From what he says it almost sounds as if he prepared a game where you sign-up in secret and then in the game you don't even know who plays :D Maybe all the game will be played via PMs and to keep the secrecy complete, phantom will send all our PMs on the game thread as posts but we won't know who posted them... and then we are to deduce who the players are and also who of them is the wolf. Then I say "I vote Mac" and later we learn that Mac didn't even play in this game. Then people start to debate whether I voted Mac because I made a mistake or whether I am a wolf and intentionally wasted a vote. Wow, now that would be really innovative style of game :D

(No, I know it ain't funny, it's really like that, of course.)

[Nogrod]

(btw, this is not a game for someone brand spankin' new to werewolfing, only sign up if you have a bit of experience under your belt, gifted experience would be helpful just in case you are selected to be the special twist, I expect a high level of play)Even if I can't be sure what tp means I think I have a hunch on what he's after... I think the important things might be the ones I've underlined. The latter one I think is the more important one. (Sorry phantom if I read you wrongly but this is also something I'd like to say from my part as well...)

Okay. I've learned my lessons in BD WW during the multiple games I've played and I've also learned to appreciate that there are different ways of playing the WW - including just flying under the radar (Naria in the last game she was in! see her participation in the Nightly discussions vs. her scant posts during the Days!) or simply going with the flow. Those players are challenges for the ordinary villagers (are they ordos or sneaky wolves for you can't say anything about them as they don't "say" anything?) and assets for the wolves (never kill an innocent one of them as the innocents need to waste their lynches on them on just pure quesswork). In a normal game one should just admit that and stick to playing with that in mind. And that's okay, it's how the game is.

And before you read further just remember what I said above: that's okay, it's how the game is. I'm not complaining about anything as I've accepted what the game is and I still really love to play it! All the time! Time and time again! :D

~*~

But to be sincere I must also say that I do enjoy playing the game the most when all the players around are somewhat dedicated to the game. Being dedicated doesn't mean one has to post a gazillion posts or something but that they read and think independently and are able and willing to go openly with their own ideas. That makes playing both a goodie and a baddie a challenge that goes pass pure guesswork. The everlasting question of a bluff - double-bluff - triple-bluff etc. surely remains even then, but it makes sense to try to read it out when everyone else are also putting in a dedicated effort...

A case in point is the early lynch of Rikae in the game before the last one... just because she acted funnily / differently on Day1. Not that we shouldn't vote for someone on Day1 - well, we have to - but because feeling secure to vote for any shared enigma on the rhetorical level sounds pretty lowbrow indeed (it's a different thing if you actually can come up with a reason why someone as a wolf would act in way that is not straight out from the "handbook" - and sadly most wolves nowaDays also act just according to the handbook and just stay low and nice). What I mean by "lowbrow" is not risking oneself eg. playing it too safe even if one is just a villager, going with the flow, not thinking independently, not risking anything... so just playing for staying alive and not for actually playing and having fun?

~*~

So what I can gather from the phantom's message is that he's wishing for a game into which the players would be dedicated to and where they would play hard and actively - and not be afraid of new or unforeseen situations (the first underlining).

I mean I know A Little Green pretty well and I think she's an intelligent, witty and cool person (she's my daughter, yes ;)) but when she got into a role of a wolf in her first game she was lynched on Day2 with overwhelming majority. One day she will be a killer - I tell you this because I know she will be much shrewder than I can ever be as she gets the taste of this game - in these games later but not yet. She needs to play and get the experience; to learn how to play in different roles, under pressure, to learn how different people play different roles etc.

So no resumeés but a kind of mutual or shared understanding about what kind of game we're applying into - what is required from the mod(s) and what is required from the players.

~*~

I hope not to give birth to this age-old discussion about "what werewolf actually is" as the arguments have been made quite a many times already and as I said before I'm happy with the game as it is and I love you all anyways. If you have strong opinions against what I said please neg-rep me or send me a PM so that I can answer you as well as I can.

~*~

I see no problem in tp to wish to have a game with some prerequirements. And we should not overestimate them either as I think tp only wished to say that if you've never been under pressure please reconsider (my first underlining) and if you're going to stick in once per Day to vote with no reason at all (my second underlining) you shouldn't take part!!!

Otherwise I'd believe everyone is the most welcome!

[Nogrod]

Each day, I expect everyone to post and vote. If you do not vote more than once, I will deal a blow to your side. Also, if you contribute little or nothing to the discussion more than once, I will deal a blow to your side. So remember, you won't just be hurting yourself- you'll be hurting your fellow villagers/werewolves.tp seems to have said the thing more eloquently and definitively than I did with my page-long mumble... :)

[Volo]

WW42 - Admin thread (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=539405#post539405) is up!

[Thinlómien]

I don't know if everybody has noticed this, so I thought it'd be better said aloud here before any serious catastrophe occurs.

Since the forum system was updated last summer, multiple private message recipients have been able to see to else the private message has been sent to. So, if you for example sent me, Nogrod and Aganzir a role pm saying "you are an ordinary villager", I would be able to see that Nogrod and Aganzir have received the same pm as I and thus I would know they're ordos. So, don't send a role pm to more than one person at a time!

[Volo]

One place left in the 42nd Werewolf game! Take it now and the game will start in exactly 24 hours.

[Gwathagor]

I'd like to learn to play. Maybe next game?

[Nogrod]

I'd like to learn to play. Maybe next game?Welcome Gwathagor! I hope to see you in the next one! Reading a few earlier games might help you grasp the idea (I noted you had made some questions on the matter).

[Nogrod]

Btw. is Farael still around wishing to stage the next game? Or the Might?

If I have read people's opinions around correctly the next one should be pretty basic as we've had a few of these pretty weird ones lately...

There is now room for three more mods. I will PM Miggy and find out if he's still interested:)

Edit: *sigh*I just heard back from TM and as you can see he will not be modding his game.

Please, do sign up if you wish to be a moderator and you haven't been one in the past six months.

[Nogrod]

Just take a path down the memory lane...

I was just curious who had modded games the last and ended up making quite a survey. It's only two years as I hadn't time for a full sweep but even this should bring back some nice memories with people.

And to show whose turn it is to mod besides those who have not tried it yet. :D

PS. the dates after the titles are those when the actual game-thread was begun so not necessarily the day when Day1 was played - but near enough. Also the dates are written in the logical style so first the date, then the month and last the year.

PS.2. For those of you who don't know the term WWJ means a "werewolf junior" game we had going alongside the "regular" games but which in the end (before they were closed) were no different from the non-junior games in practise.

That surely brings back memories....

I believe WWJ III was my first game ever. And WWJ IV was my first game as a wolf (and the first game where Nogrod and I squared off ;) ) if my memory serves me correctly. It's been a long time since then.

Is anyone still talking about another Deuling Wizards game?

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Please, do sign up if you wish to be a moderator and you haven't been one in the past six months.

Well, you know what. I wanted to mod when I'm allowed a some time ago, though now I am not sure how I'm going to cope with the time. And mainly, I wanted to have some time to prepare the game before I release it... on the other hand, the sooner I sign up (and thus, have something to push me to start working on it), the sooner I'll have it done...

What is clear that I won't be able to run the game by the days around 23rd-30th February, but otherwise it could be good. Well, it all depends on how this game and the game after goes, and I can always try to switch if someone else signs up.

Okay, so: Sign me up, with a little question mark, so to say, but most probably I'll be able to run a game.

[Nogrod]

Is anyone still talking about another Deuling Wizards game?
Ahh, Dueling Wizards werewolf! I have thought of that too sometimes...

Maybe the time would be ripe in some near future?

I guess now many people would prefer one or two rounds of quite basic WW for a change (after phantom's and Volo's pretty sneaky / avantgardist games) but after that I think we might try one Dueling wizards again.

First of all that game would require a host of players (20+) who would actually need time to chew the rules so we'd need time to see whether there would be a sufficient number of players interested in that kind of a game.

Secondly we'd need a mod who would be able to pull all the strings together and to be reliable enough so that the players would trust the game is not going to fall apart because the mod(s) can't handle it.

I could be interested indeed to mod that game later this spring if you all trust me enough - even though my death in the hands of my cruel mistress in the last one still kind of calls for revenge... :D

But yes, I'd rather try modding it. That would be a challenge up to me and not up to whether Roa wishes to finish me off in the eyes of other players. :rolleyes:


That surely brings back memories....

And WWJ IV was my first game as a wolf (and the first game where Nogrod and I squared off)
I do remember that as well as that was my first game ever and I was the seer who managed to pick you on Night1... Well, that was a battle I do remember - like those you have won after that. :)

But yes... *sighs*

Nice memories. I've really enjoyed playing with you Roa whatever the turnout has been.

PS. I kind of remember there was one game where we trusted each other and won the game in the end for the innocents...

[Kath]

Well I think it is true that a couple of simple games would be much appreciated I think there might be interest in a Duelling Wizards game, and Volo got 21 players so it is doable.

[Nogrod]

For a possible future game of Dueling Wizards I'd like to bring forwards a few things.

First of all there was something like a slight inbalance in the one we played making it a bit easier for the evil wizard to win (even if you were spectacular Roa you must admit you had the upper hand also because of the rules). That should be adjusted somehow. I'd like to go back to those discussions we had then and to have a review on them even if someone else would be the one to actually orchestrate the game itself.

Secondly I kind of liked one of lmp's comments after the game where he said something like that there was a genuine feeling of a crowded village where people heard only this and that rumour and not necessarily everything. And they acted on what they heard. I'd love to exploit that fact in the narrations... :p

And even if I'm one of those who usually kind of complain that people just sneak in, look around and vote with the latest rumour, then in a setting where there are so many people posting that only hardcore players like me read everything and try to consider it all that could be appreciated differently. And the narrations might try to mirror these things as well.

I also loved the families that were formed by the players themselves, the couples, the children, the families, the relations... and they brought a lot of things to speak of in the first Days anyway. I'd like to see something like that once more.


But as I said I think we'd need to have a few "basic games" now the next after these more experimental ones.

If you people think bringing on the Dueling Wizards the second time is a good idea maybe we could open a planning thread for it? Later in the spring we might be able to play it as there could be enough people who have a grasp of the rules which we should revise before that. As it's a bit more complicated game we should start planning it soon even if it's played later. And it would be frustrating to do the work if the game never comes reality.

So Roa and Kath seem to be interersted with this short call. Who else? If there are people enough I (or someone) can open a thread for the discussion so that we don't need to fill this thread with a discussion on something that would be played only later.

So please come forwards if you're interested. Let's change the thread then with this one...

PS. this doesn't mean I myself or some others taking part in this discussion would leave Werewolf before this game comes reality - if it comes. On the contrary I'm ready to apply for the next game already even if it's not sure who will mod it and when... This is kind of planning ahead as this would be a game that requires some planning indeed. :D

[THE Ka]

But as I said I think we'd need to have a few "basic games" now the next after these more experimental ones.


I'll have to second that. Experimenting is wonderful at times, and can lead to great progress, but there is also a time and need for getting back to our roots. Also, balance is nice too. That and a break once in awhile.
Plus, I miss the old village concept a bit. With the rumor/reasoning aspect. It was highly enjoyable, for me at least. :P


~ Pondering Ka

[Naria]

And even if I'm one of those who usually kind ofcomplain that people just sneak in, look around and vote with the latest rumour

lol Thanks Noggy that made my day:D

I would also love to participate in another Dueling Wizards. Although difficult to grasp at first, I quickly found out what to do...with of course, Roa's help;)

I too loved the family aspect. I was actually saddened to see my father(saucie) lynched.

Soo yeah, I'm in!

Re: Modding
Legate, I have updated my post.

[Thinlómien]

Dueling Wizards Vol2 would be hilarious. :D There are a lot of great players who weren't around when the first DW was played and I think they'd love to try it (and I'd love to play it with them).

If I wasn't so enthusiastic about actually playing, I could volunteer to be a sub-mod. Because besides of the actual mod, we almost certainly need to have sub-mods for the good and the evil team.

[Macalaure]

My first game was WWJ IX, Lommy's and Nogrod's Psychotic Penguins game, just after the first Dueling Wizards. Unless you start in mid-March, I'm definitely going to join a new one (after a few simple games have taken place, of course).

Just take a path down the memory lane...Talking of that, what happened to the old Grimoire (not the personal statistics, but the game summaries)? :)

[Brinniel]

I have no idea what a Dueling Wizards game is and what it involves, but it certainly sounds like lots of fun....I would love to participate if it's at all possible.

The only problem is that I don't think I could participate in anything like that unless it didn't actually start until May... :(

[satansaloser2005]

I read the thread for the last DW game and it looked like a ton of fun. But I don't know if I'd be able to play or not, as I seriously need to concentrate on homework this semester. I'd probably still sign up though because....well, because I'm addicted. ;)

[Rikae]

I think I'd be interested in trying a DW game, although, like Macalaure, I most likely won't play WW for a couple weeks in mid-March.

[Nerwen]

I also have no idea what Duelling Wizards is (though I might take a wild guess that it involves wizards and duelling) but it sounds intriguing.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Sounds like a good time to me. I'll go and read the first thread when I have time.

[Volo]

Now that is the most experimental game I've ever seen! I'll play fo sure!

If I wasn't so enthusiastic about actually playing, I could volunteer to be a sub-mod. Because besides of the actual mod, we almost certainly need to have sub-mods for the good and the evil team.
What about using e-mail? I don't remember exactly what the sub-mod did in DW, but e-mailing worked well in WW32.

[Roa_Aoife]

I'll help you Mod a DW game, Nogrod. I'm on Pacific Time now (-8 GMT) so I could easily be around when you aren't. I'll be the Evil team's mod.
(We really need an evil smilely.)

[Gwathagor]

Ah, Pacific Time.

[Volo]

(We really need an evil smilely.)

We do! And I have a good one somewhere, just can't remember where I put it.

[satansaloser2005]

Ah, Pacific Time.


Bah. Give me good old fashioned Central Time any day of the week. Well, except when it's like 3am for most of you and only 9pm here and so I sit around waiting for posts and such and get nothing. Quite depressing. :eek:;)

[Nogrod]

Any sign of Farael? Anyone? Or is the Might still interested in modding? Or should Legate start to gear up?

Anyway someone could come forwards.

As I said earlier I might be very interested in modding the DW II later in the spring after we have a few normal games under our belt first so that experiments feel good again. And thank's Roa for offering your help as a co-mod - even if I'd love to see you play as well...

But let's give it some time now (and get a game rolling meanwhile). I try to read and think the rules in coming weeks and maybe we could continue the rules discussion in the DW-thread somewhat later?

[Aganzir]

You can add me on the list. :)

[Nogrod]

I sent Farael a PM about whether he still wishes to mod a game.

I don't see any problem with you Aganzir helping to write narrations to Lommy. I mean you have never modded a WW-game yourself and it would be great to see and to take part in your game.

I'd suggest that either of you two, Legate or Aganzir should mod the next game if there's nothing from Farael or the Might in a few days.

Or what do you say Morm and Naria?

[Valier]

I would like at some point to host another WereCat game. It would be a simple game with perhaps only 3 or 4 gifted and 3 or 4 wolves. I'm in no hurry, so put me on the list after some newer people have hosted if they want.

[Nogrod]

I would like at some point to host another WereCat game. It would be a simple game with perhaps only 3 or 4 gifted and 3 or 4 wolves. I'm in no hurry, so put me on the list after some newer people have hosted if they want.Well Legate modded quite recently himself but Aganzir has never done it... Then again it has been time since you Valier modded...

The trouble is I'm not so sure whether what Legate said should be read as an immediate interest to stage the next game or saying he would be wishing to do it a bit later.Well, you know what. I wanted to mod when I'm allowed a some time ago, though now I am not sure how I'm going to cope with the time. And mainly, I wanted to have some time to prepare the game before I release it... on the other hand, the sooner I sign up (and thus, have something to push me to start working on it), the sooner I'll have it done...

What is clear that I won't be able to run the game by the days around 23rd-30th February, but otherwise it could be good. Well, it all depends on how this game and the game after goes, and I can always try to switch if someone else signs up.

Okay, so: Sign me up, with a little question mark, so to say, but most probably I'll be able to run a game.
I think we need Morm here. :)

But let's settle this anyway.

I'd be glad to be in anyone's game! :D

[Aganzir]

Well, I know I won't have time to mod right now. It's the exam week, he-he, someone's supposed to be studying.

[Nogrod]

someone's supposed to be studying.And someone's supposed to be reading what you students write during this exam-week... :D

But then again I don't think any game would start in a few days anyway... It takes some time to gather the players so it would be the next week the earliest, if not longer as I think it would be.

Don't shy away. You're good in this. I'm pretty confident in it.

[Aganzir]

My lazy brain thinks it requires more to plan the game & write narrations than what playing requires (which is what I'm going to do despite the exam week). I was rather saying that if someone else just can mod before me, I'm happy (besides, I was counting on either Farael or Legate or both to mod their games before me).

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well, I could second Agan - I counted with that someone (Farael, namely) is going to mod before me, and eventually, even someone of the later signed up people may switch with me to run a game on the 23rd-30th February when I definitely cannot mod. So here you have it.

[Naria]

The list

Legate
Valy
Menel

As Nogrod stated, one that has been a co-mod in a previous game will not count as a main mod...they are free to sign up. I will leave the list as is for now, if someone wishes to swap positions then please make it known here.

Agan's admin thread is now up. There is room for two more mods.

[Meneltarmacil]

In case all else fails, I've definitely got enough time in the near future to run a game. There are a few times I may be gone for a weekend or so, but I'm mostly clear until mid-late March.

[Nogrod]

Just a short notice.

This far it's been declared that both Rikae and Mac will be away from mid-March a "couple of weeks" (two that is?) on.

Also Brinn has said she can't join until May.

So how about we set ourselves a goal of having a Dueling Wizards Werewolf game in the beginning of May?

Before that we have apt time to make two or three games depending on how fast they get enrolled and how long they last.

Do other people have different preferences? With a DW game we'd need a pretty large village (last time it was 30 but I quess we could do with a slightly smaller one as well... but not with one under 20) and so it would be good to know when people are having restrictions in taking part.

But I quess this discussion could be continued in the DW suggestion -thread (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=12887&page=3) so as not to interfere with the discussion here about the more immediate games.

[Farael]

Well, Nogrod has PMed me to ask and see if I want to mod the next game... and I do. However, I'm going to need a co-mod as I'm back in University and I may not always be around at the deadline.

So, if anyone would like to co-mod with me, I'll start preparing everything asap.

[Farael]

Tehee! Double-post. Sorry folks.

I should also mention that I will be away from Feb. 16-26th. I should have Internet at the hotel, but you know how those things work. I believe there's still time for a small game (and I'm looking for 15 players tops) but I'd still need a co-mod to make sure that everything can be played out properly if the game takes longer and I'm found without Interweb.

[Gwathagor]

What type of game would it be? Something wacky, or a more traditional werewolf game?

[Nogrod]

I believe there's still time for a small game (and I'm looking for 15 players tops) but I'd still need a co-mod to make sure that everything can be played out properly if the game takes longer and I'm found without Interweb.It would sure be the most safe if you'd have an actual co-mod named already when the game begins but if you could handle the first one or two days I quess you could count on someone of the first drop-outs to become your co-mod. I myself would like more to play as I've modded quite recently. But as I've been lynched three times in a row on Day1 so you could count on me if I'm going to continue this sad trend... :rolleyes:

Have you tried to PM anyone about it Farael? I'd guess it's easier to find a co-mod that way...

What type of game would it be? Something wacky, or a more traditional werewolf game?I guess most of the people are looking forwards to a few more traditional games right now but in the end it's always the mod who decides these things...

[Brinniel]

So how about we set ourselves a goal of having a Dueling Wizards Werewolf game in the beginning of May?
That would be excellent. Personally I'd prefer if the game didn't start until after May 8, which is when I'll be back in the US with a lot more time on my hands. But if it did happen to start earlier, I'm sure I could use an internet cafe somewhere in London...

[Kath]

Right in the middle of exams, what a plan. :p Though to be fair, mid to end May would be fine.

[mormegil]

I would be wanting to play for the Dueling Wizards game when it comes...so whoever ends up modding it please keep me in mind.

[Azaelia of Willowbottom]

OOOh, Dueling Wizards. That's such a fun variation, and I'd love to play.

Mid-May works for me. :)

[Roa_Aoife]

If you folks have input or suggestions, head over to the DW suggestion thread and offer 'em up. Questions to be answered:

36 hour days, yes or no?
More gifted?
Less wolves?
What kind of gifted?

And more!

Also, any concerns you have, please note them there.

[Farael]

Have you tried to PM anyone about it Farael? I'd guess it's easier to find a co-mod that way...


Well, I just don't know who to PM... I haven't been active enough lately and I have not really been keeping in touch with my friends here. I'll wait for a bit and if no-one volunteers (anyone, really, whether old friend or friend to be ;)) I'll see whom I can snag... err I mean convince.

As to what kind of a game it will be, it'll be straight forward

If we get 15 players:
Three Wolves
One Seer
One Ranger.


If we get 12 players
Two wolves
One Ranger.

In either case, wolves PM at night, no-one PMs during the day

[McCaber]

Sounds like a plan. Sign me up, if you will.

[Roa_Aoife]

I should be available for co-modding around that time, Farael. If you can't get anyone else, I'll do it.

[Farael]

Great! I already started a game-thread and my co-mod Roa has kindly graced it with her presence.

Now we only need players heh. Signups are managed on that thread, since I am notoriously absentminded and might otherwise forget to check this thread.. and things may get messy. Hope to hear from as many of you as possible soon!

[satansaloser2005]

Right in the middle of exams, what a plan. :p Though to be fair, mid to end May would be fine.


Shoot! That's finals week for me too, and then I lose my internet when I move out of my college room. Alas, it was not meant to be. :(



Oh, and ditto Cabbie. I'm in for your game too, Farael. :)

[Nogrod]

The list

Legate
Agan
Valy
Menel

I think it's up to Legate and Agan to see this. Legate had a game in June 07 and Agan has never had a game of her own - but she has co-modded after Legate's game...

I'd say we give it a go with Agan but whatever you others think... or whether Agan is ready for it herself - or whether Legate need to be held back from his bursting ideas... :D

But anyway we need a new one...

[Thinlómien]

I think Agan should mod next:

Well, I could second Agan - I counted with that someone (Farael, namely) is going to mod before me, and eventually, even someone of the later signed up people may switch with me to run a game on the 23rd-30th February when I definitely cannot mod. So here you have it.

I'd say we give it a go with Agan but whatever you others think... or whether Agan is ready for it herself - or whether Legate need to be held back from his bursting ideas... :D

But anyway we need a new one...

Let me elaborate somewhat on this.

First, it's whatever way if Agan has her game ready, there is no problem for me to let her have her game now. If she is not ready, I have absolutely no problem with coming up with my game right now.

Now, if I were to do the game now - I said already that 23th-30th (from this Friday to the next) I am not here. That means if I were to run a game now, the game would start after I return (or later, depending how the sign-ups go etc.), that is, at the beginning of March. That's of course no problem: I would put up an Admin thread, provide all the information necessary, and then leave and let people to sign up meanwhile (you don't need my assistance for that, and all basic questions will be answered beforehand, and any other questions you'd have surely can wait seven days). We'd spend some time with sign-ups anyway, and personally as I know it the sign-ups may take even longer.

So this is it. But as you see, I'd prefer to settle this matter as soon as possible, so that if it's my turn, I put up the admin thread before I leave. I must say for me personally, it will be almost better to have the game now rather than later, as at least now I know I will have time and not many other duties (or I hope) and also, I wanted to have a little break from playing, and this way I'd have a break by just modding and then jump fresh into Agan's game. But in any case, I said I'm open to everything. If Aganzir wants to present us with her game, I will not restrain her. If she isn't ready yet, I'm here. So I think it's up to Agan now - let her speak and we'll know more :)

P.S. I also thought about the players' moods as one of the factors - like if people would like a more classic game, and one of us prepared a more complicated one, we could do the more "normal" one first and the other later etc. But that's just if there are any tendencies among the players, as eventually possible factor.

[Aganzir]

So, we decided I will be the one to mod now.

It's going to be a rather normal game, just one without gifteds. I'll try to get the admin thread up tonight.

[Rikae]

Where does the DW game fall on the list (or is it not on the list?)
Mac and I were talking about co-modding a game sometime in late spring or early summer... it would be a somewhat experimental game, so it's probably best for us to follow a more traditional one. Just thought I'd throw that out there...

[Gwathagor]

There had better be another game coming up soon, because it's seriously personal now, between me and the werewolves. I am not a happy camper. :mad::mad::mad:

[Gwathagor]

Thanks for the game, Aganzir, and all the mod-ly effort you're putting into it. I'm sorry for getting you lynched on the first day last game; now I know how it feels!:cool:

[Nogrod]

Mac and I were talking about co-modding a game sometime in late spring or early summer... it would be a somewhat experimental game, so it's probably best for us to follow a more traditional one. Just thought I'd throw that out there...I think there were quite a lot of voices that would like to see the DW game after the middle of April. Please correct if I'm wrong with it.

I'm not sure if it's on the list as it has been kind of a sidetrack-thing this far. And seriously we should come back discussing it before long. I have a busy week now but the next week I might be able to concentrate with it once more.

But at least to me it looks like it would be played then - and no one has kind of challenged me modding it. That could be discussed to be sure. I have just taken the initiative as I would like to see that game come true again - and admittedly I'd like to mod it as well & have tried to delve into the rules enough to have an idea about the game-mechanics. But as I said that's open I think.

Looking at the games right now, Agan's game will take a while and then there's Legate's game if I'm not wrong. After these there might be a gap to play one more game before the DW or then not - depending on how fast the games end and how fast they get enrolled.

Whatever the outcome I'm going to apply to your experimental game right now. I couldn't lose it! :)

[Gwathagor]

So when IS the next game?

[satansaloser2005]

So when IS the next game?

*pats Gwathkins on the head* Now, now. Be patient, little one.

Sorry. I had all kinds of funny names to call you but I'll just have to save them for another game. ;)

[McCaber]

You can still use them, Sally. He just can't respond.

[satansaloser2005]

You can still use them, Sally. He just can't respond.


Course I can. But his reactions are half the fun. ;)

[Macalaure]

Gwathagor, dead men tell no tales - not even in their location. ;)

[Nerwen]

Seconded. Gwath, my condolences on your untimely death... but there it is. You're dead now, and you're not allowed to accuse people from beyond the grave.

[Gwathagor]

*rushes off and changes location*

*walks back in whistling casually*

[Kath]

Watch it guys or the chat skwerlz will find you! Isn't there an admin thread this could be on?

Anyway, I wanted to ask whether there was likely to be a simple game any time soon? I want to play again but I don't think I'd be able to keep up with anything any more complicated than a couple of Gifted's. :D

[Durelin]

Hmm...is it too early to attempt to claim the mod-ship of a game sometime in mid-late May? Or any time over the summer months if May will be taken up by a DW game.

(The first and last time I modded was last December, I believe.) Thanks!

[Kitanna]

Anyway, I wanted to ask whether there was likely to be a simple game any time soon? I want to play again but I don't think I'd be able to keep up with anything any more complicated than a couple of Gifted's. :D

I would like to know as well. It has been such a long time since I joined a WW game (can't even remember the last one). With so many school and work engagements I would love to join a simple, small game.

[mormegil]

Watch it guys or the chat skwerlz will find you! Isn't there an admin thread this could be on?

You leave the place for a day or two and see what happens. Thank you Kath. Please keep game conversations limited to the appropriate admin thread.

[Nogrod]

I guess Legate is the next mod and if I remember it correctly he was thinking about a pretty standard game with no extraordinary props included.

[satansaloser2005]

Well, whenever the next game starts you know I'm up for it. Until then, I'm off into the shadows....

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

A little announcement beforehand: Yes, I was thinking about a simple, classic game. Probably something like three wolves, one seer, one ranger, one hunter and nothing more (and even this can be changed depending on the number of people who sign up etc.).

However...

...however, there is one other thing. I was thinking about a simple game, that's true, but at the same time about an in-role game. Like the one I did when I modded for the first time (WWXXXV: Werewolves among the Wolf-Men (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13982)). That is, with compulsory roleplaying. I don't know whether it would not scare people off. I have some concept, though, and I believe it may be more interesting if it is with the in-role posting. I know WWXXXV was quite appreciated, however if there is strong wave of protest against in-role game, I may reconsider. So, as the matter was brought up here, I'm giving you this to think about before my game is about to start.

[Kath]

Well it would put me off, the idea is what kept me out of Farael's game, but I'm happy to wait for the next game if you want to put it in. :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well it would put me off, the idea is what kept me out of Farael's game, but I'm happy to wait for the next game if you want to put it in. :)

That's just what I was afraid of. :( Well, if the queue of the players who want to play, but won't want to play if roleplaying were compulsury, I may as well drop the idea. It's not necessary for the game; only I think it may be enjoyable combined with the setting I prepared - and I believe there will be such players who would prefer roleplaying - but it remains to be seen. I'll probably progress based on the people's stances. This is why I asked that in forward. In any case, you can wait till I put up the admin thread (that is, after Aganzir's game finishes), and you can then choose when you have the complex picture.

[Nerwen]

Legate, I'm quite keen on the idea of compulsory roleplaying.

[Gwathagor]

I'd be willing to try something new (i.e. compulsory roleplaying).

[satansaloser2005]

I'd be up for it too. It'd be fun to actually be FORCED to stay in character. Although I'm up for it either way.

[Thinlómien]

I agree with sally, I'd enjoy compulsory roleplaying since if it's not compulsory, I always drop it after a couple of posts even though I like roleplaying in ww. But then you just must prepare yourselves for a very frustrated Lommy because I tend to get annoyed when people hide behind their roles.... ;)

[mormegil]

This may be simple semantics but please, please, please remember that we do not do official roleplaying in WW. That is left to the Roleplaying subforum. There can be compulsory in-character play.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

This may be simple semantics but please, please, please remember that we do not do official roleplaying in WW. That is left to the Roleplaying subforum. There can be compulsory in-character play.

Sorry. Compulsory in-character play. Who is to remember complicated terms like that. I think it's obvious we are not going to roleplay in there. But it's "role" - everyone has a role and they post "in-role". That's true. In-role or in-character makes no difference in my opinion. Well, true, role maybe contends come pre-scribed pattern of behavior. But enough of that. Anyway everyone can look up what I mean in the link I provided.

[Groin Redbeard]

Legate, I'll back you up 110%! When do we start? :smokin:

[Gwathagor]

Yes, when do we start our "compulsory in-character play" game? :p

[Naria]

The list

Valier(?)
Menel
Nogrod
Rikae and Mac


"The list" is now open for one more!:)

Edit: Val still hasn't popped in to confirm her reservation..hmm. I'll get ahold of her asap and find out if she's still interested.

Eh, I think I'll be sitting out on the "in-character" game, as I find it difficult enough to analyze without having to add roleplaying to it.

Oh, and Legate: Yes, I'm sorry for killing you in Volo's last game (just saw your post late on that thread).

[Gwathagor]

Hope we've got another game coming up soon?

Hope we've got another game coming up soon?

Ditto that. Once the semester's over I lose my internet for a few months, so I'm up for playing as much as possible until then. ;)

[Gwathagor]

DON'T quote me! We are NOT on speaking terms. :mad::mad::mad:

[satansaloser2005]

Well, I can say it now. I had to kill you, kiddo. I mean, what kind of seer would I be if I let you off the hook? You're still a good player though; I just got lucky. ;)


*waits impatiently for next game*

And dang it, I want to be a gifted again. That was a blast!

Nogrod
Rikae and Mac

Open for two more!!

[Meneltarmacil]

Well, I don't really have a good concept lined up yet, but I'll think of something by the end of today. You won't have to wait too long for the admin thread.

[Nogrod]

After Menel's game we'll be then having the return of the dueling wizards werewolf! I'll try to cross-examine all the requests concerning the dates when people have expressed their ability to play and will come forwards with some more detailed suggestions sometime later.

But now it's time for Menel to take the reins. This was just a pre-remainder of what is to come...

[Nogrod]

Well, I don't really have a good concept lined up yet, but I'll think of something by the end of today.It would probably be wise if your game wasn't a hyper-experimentative one as the dueling wizards right after your game will be one that really makes it's own logic...

[Nerwen]

And dang it, I want to be a gifted again. That was a blast!

And very good you were, too. And so were you, Gwath. It's hard being a wolf-cub.

[Meneltarmacil]

The admin thread is up.

[Brinniel]

Now that Menel's admin thread is up, is there now space on the mod list?

[Nogrod]

Be prepared for Dueling Wizards Werewolf II

It will start after Menel's game as soon as we have enough players and that means quite a lot. We'd need about twenty players for that.

I will be bringing forwards an admin thread to iron out the rules and start the discussion soon enough.

I will be away from home between May 17th and 25th but I hope we can get things rolling before that and can start asp after that.

I'll give you a sneak preview of the game's athmosphere asp as well with posting the thread starter.

So gear up my friends!

[Volo]

It would be great to have DWII up as soon as summer starts! Sign in, people!

[Gwathagor]

You can count on me.

[satansaloser2005]

My pouty face, let me show you it. :(

Finals are next week, as I mentioned before, and after that, alas, no consistent internet for Miss Sally. Thus I will not be able to sign up.

That also means that I command, that's right COMMAND, all of you to enjoy the game, or you will feel the wrath of the duck. Well, not really, since she's leaving for the summer too and I won't see her for a few months after that. But you get the point. Enjoy the game; it sounds like it'll be a lot of fun! :)

~~Sally~~

Why does it have to be that your summer isn't equal to my summer? Sigh.

[Kitanna]

Another Dueling Wizards Werewolf II? My, my, I may have to join. I'm not sure how far along Menel's game is, but would this Dueling Wizards game start next week at the earliest?

[Mithalwen]

We are on night 3 with a start number of 13. We have had 2 lynches and presumably now 2 dead in the night. One of an undisclosed number of werewolves is dead. I doubt there are less than 3 so it should take at least the rest of the week to complete, possibly rather longer.

[Volo]

Why does it have to be that your summer isn't equal to my summer? Sigh.

Yeah, stupid two-sided ball, whatever that means.

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Be prepared for Dueling Wizards Werewolf IIWell, this is certainly interesting . . .

[Valier]

Another game of dueling wizards does sound appealing....;)But for me, my participation rests on what time of day the deadline will be. I work weird hours and I do like to be around for the deadline if I can help it. Put me on the list with a ?:D

[kementari]

Could someone clarify this werewolf games? Sounds interesting...I'm curious...:confused:

[Thinlómien]

Could someone clarify this werewolf games? Sounds interesting...I'm curious...:confused:The first post of this thread clarifies the rules (although, they have changed a little after that), here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=14845) is the latest game we played if you want to know how it looks like and here (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=14848) is the admin thread for the next game where you can sign in. As a word of warning, though, the next game will not be basic at all and it might give you headache... But if you dare, do join our merry company there! :)

Oh my! Rikae and Mac's game next? I hope I'll have time to join it.

But yes, I would like to jump on list. Inspired by guess what: I'm planning on modding something under a title like "Dueling Mods". Not too ambitious for a change, quite basic, no special roles (well, except for the two dueling mods that is). A mix of old school TiG with some delightful avant-garde randomness, a perfect soup to confuse. A bit like Die Form (http://www.ebm.gr/content/view/2719/2/) actually.

[Aganzir]

Did everybody miss Brinn's post?
Now that Menel's admin thread is up, is there now space on the mod list?

[Durelin]

Where does the DW game fall on the list (or is it not on the list?)
Mac and I were talking about co-modding a game sometime in late spring or early summer... it would be a somewhat experimental game, so it's probably best for us to follow a more traditional one. Just thought I'd throw that out there...

Just noticed this... If you and Mac would like to follow a more traditional game, perhaps Brinniel or I could jump ahead of you? That is, if Brinn wants to do a more traditional one. I'm torn between traditional and insanity, so doesn't matter to me.

Of course, I'd really love to have more time to plan myself...haven't even come up with a good theme idea yet...and I also might be away a couple days around when I'd have to start the game/in the middle of the game...so I'm just putting this forward for your sake (and Brinn's if she wants to dive in there ;)).

[Rikae]

Sure, that's fine, we were just wondering how we could delay our game, since we aren't prepared yet anyway. :)
