Tol-in-Gaurhoth (Isle of Werewolves)

[Brinniel]

Did everybody miss Brinn's post?
Thanks for bringing that up. I was worried my post would get buried...

If you guys want me to jump ahead on the modding list, I'm perfectly willing to do so. I already have an idea in mind and my game would be a normal one: three wolves, three gifteds, and one cobbler. :)

A couple of things: I have no idea when Noggie's game will end, so I don't know when mine would begin. Right now I have lots of time on my hands, but that could change as I am currently hunting for a summer job (and having lots of trouble finding one, mind you). If I do have a job while the game is running, I'd probably need a co-mod as I probably wouldn't be able to make every deadline. Also, while I will be home the last weekend of June, I will be very busy...so depending on when I start the game, I can either avoid running it during that weekend or simply have a co-mod temporarily help me out. Anyways, I don't really need to worry about that until the current game is over, but I thought I'd just mention it now.

With that said, I shouldn't have any other problems...and anyways I would rather mod sooner than later...once August hits, my freetime will most likely be cut short(er).

[Gwathagor]

What's a cobbler? None of the games I've played have had one.

[satansaloser2005]

If I'm not mistaken, it's Rikae's role in the current game.... ;)


It's basically an ordo who's on the side of the wolves.

[Aganzir]

Sally pretty much explained it already, but if you don't have anything better to do, you might want to take a look at the phantom's game (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=14479). ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

That is now three whole years since I modded a game and I'm very interested in doing another one. Just add my name to the list. :)

And, to distinguish it somewhat, my game shall be in honour of the very first game -- that is: 3 wolves, one seer, and villagers. Simple.

[Diamond18]

Eventually I think I'd like to do a sequel to my All Star Crossed With Nowhere To Go (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13362) game. It's been a loooong time since I modded (I was still living at home with my parents, as I recall :eek: ) and I really enjoyed that game. I'd like to try for even more players, this time around, since that game has a potentially enormous nightly death toll. I had 18 players last game and it ended up being rather short. So waiting for a while after Nog's big game is ideal.

Anyway I'm expressing interest -- but only if I can get a large number of players down the line. Summer seems ideal for this as school is out.

[satansaloser2005]

For the record, I'd very much be interested in Di's game. But I think I'm abstaining from WW for the rest of the summer after Nog's game. It's too much of a hassle to drag my computer around during work. I'm up for anything (and I mean anything....) in the fall though!

[Rikae]

Eventually I think I'd like to do a sequel to my All Star Crossed With Nowhere To Go (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13362) game.

Ah! Excellent. I have fond memories of that game (even though I was eaten by Mac and Lhuna in the end, if I recall correctly...)

[Diamond18]

Mac chopped off your head and made a stew out of you for Lhuna to eat.

:D

I enjoyed modding that game a lot, but I'm convinced it needs a Dueling Wizards sized village to reach its full potential.

[Mithalwen]

I would like to mod again sometime (but not before the end of July) and do the long intended Opera themed one - but otherwise not too complicated... I did approach a few bods aeons ago but if anyone is interested theoretically in auditioning do pm me with your vocal range and type and I can start to work on your aria.... this will place you under no contractual obligation to play. Non singing roles may be available.

I like singing! :cool:

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

I've decided to ignore Kant and the Weimar Republic's threat to have me kicked out of the University and return fully to the world of chewing villagers, erm, WW.

[Brinniel]

That'd be me! :)

At this very moment I'm writing my ideas into Word. The admin thread will be up either later tonight or tomorrow.

[Thinlómien]

Could everybody refrain from doing interesting games before mid-August? :Merisu: Besides, sally too would approve, right?
;)

[Mithalwen]

I never said my game would be interesting... on past form it will be a whitewash one way or the other.. but I intend to amuse myself... ;)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Could everybody refrain from doing interesting games before mid-August? :Merisu: Besides, sally too would approve, right?
;)

Hmm, I would second that... actually, I already pity the fact that I won't be able to join Brinn's game, which really looks interesting!!! So I don't know about further games, but this one is definitely one I already pity missing (as it's very unlikely that I could join it). :(

[Lhunardawen]

I wonder if I could reserve a spot for modding around April to May 2009 as early as now... :cool:

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I reserve first spot for Lhuna's game. :p

[Lhunardawen]

Sorry, big bro, but you've been beaten to the first spot. :p

(Well, if their willingness to play still holds...after more than a year. :D)



Oh, and I just saw Di's post. A sequel, eh? Mwuhahahaha.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I wonder if I could reserve a spot for modding around April to May 2009 as early as now... :cool:

arrh come on!

Lhuna, you know I will be studying for my exams then.

[Lhunardawen]

I'm sorry, my dear, but that's the only respite I get between and after graduating...

[Naria]

The list

Rikae and Mac
Durelin
Volo
Eomer
Diamond

...is now closed.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Just read Menel's last game (which I missed when it was played) and I see that his 'Back to Basics' really was just that! And I thought I was being all clever and retro. :D

Oh well, I'll announce publicly that it shall have a Warg theme.

That's right:

The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread does Werewolf! Soon...

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

And here was I, thinking of the same thing. :D

(Heh (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=379246&postcount=265) heh (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=379762&postcount=269) heh (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showpost.php?p=405063&postcount=386).)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

The Grawlar are discarnate, and there is no documented case of one ever taking physical form. However, with their potency of spirit (one of them could take on all the Valar with their hands tied behind their back while blindfolded), they might be able to.


:D

They are also so powerful that they have many discarnate hands and a discarnate head. Dear Eru, what chance have we?

Lots of material to make a great story out of. Thanks Nilp. :smokin:

[Diamond18]

The Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread does Werewolf! Soon...

*falls down*

Is it too early to join?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Diamond, I'm extending invites first to those who contributed on the thread. This, of course, includes you. :)

But alas, it won't be for a while yet. *fidgets*

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

If you guys don't have any specific plans in mind which bar me from doing so, may I please join your game?

[Macalaure]

We just started planning our game, and so far we have no "No Fea." rule, and I think we're unlikely to add one. ;)

Honored to have you on board!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

so far we have no "No Fea." rule, and I think we're unlikely to add one.

One of these days I'll come out of hiding just to play (much like now) and the mod will hastily approach me, fidgeting a little with discomfort, and mutter hurriedly, "I'm so very sorry, but it seems that by popular vote you're simply not going to be allowed to manipulate others, act erratically, and otherwise make a nuisance of yourself by way of being energetically insane... In short, maybe you should come back at a later date. Good day, Miss of the Peredhil."

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The planning has just begun and I already have to pull out. I'm way not on top of this... Unless the game doesn't start until the 27th.

Smacks self in the head.

[Macalaure]

Don't smack yourself too hard. With the current game still going on for a while, it might still be close to two weeks til our admin thread is even out. Consider yourself put down with a question mark on our (yet imaginary) player list.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Consider yourself put down with a question mark on our (yet imaginary) player list.

Perfect. When I was weighing time-consuming factors, I remembered that my second summer job starts this weekend, but forgot that I leave town the weekend after that. :rolleyes: I forgot that vacations exist.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

So, fit's happenin'?

[Shastanis Althreduin]

*waits patiently for more werewolf*

*plots against Eomer, Nogrod, Boromir, and Formendacil in the meantime*

:D

[Formendacil]

*waits patiently for more werewolf*

*plots against Eomer, Nogrod, Boromir, and Formendacil in the meantime*

:D

Oh come on! I haven't even signed up for the next game yet.:p

Although... depending on the start date, I'd like to. I should have time to play again before the school year. It's just a question of that long weekend upcoming.

[Macalaure]

Admin thread should be up tomorrow. :)

[Mithalwen]

Could you pencil me in for the vacant space on the moderator list?

[Lalaith]

If there is a game starting August 16th or just after, count me in!

[satansaloser2005]

Could everybody refrain from doing interesting games before mid-August? :Merisu: Besides, sally too would approve, right?
;)



Heh I just saw this. Yes, Sally approves. (July and August'll be really busy)

But DANG I want to be in this game....*considers*....nah, I need a few weeks off.


When the semester starts though....oh, you wolves better hide in your holes! :smokin:

[Rikae]

Durelin, I'd like to sign up for your game, er... because work, grad school and three kids just don't keep me busy enough. :D

(makemeacobblermakemeacobbler...)

[Nerwen]

Durelin, I'd like to sign up for your game, er... because work, grad school and three kids just don't keep me busy enough. :D

Ditto. [substitute "cats" for "kids".]

[Durelin]

Hehehe. Awesome! :D I will be getting that admin thread up today!

[Volo]

Sorry for confusing you, once again, but please, remove me from the mod list. I'm definitely not in the mood for modding a game.

[Aganzir]

So the list is something like this now I think?

Eomer
Diamond
Mith
(+ Lhuna April/May)

[Mithalwen]

I may have to pull out if I start studying ... but don't cut me off yet..

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I hope there are some people out there eager for Werewolf. :smokin:

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I hope there are some people out there eager for Werewolf. :smokin:

Me! Me! :)

[Thinlómien]

And meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Yay. :D Eomer, is your game going to be a basic one, or something creative? :)

[Kitanna]

I hope there are some people out there eager for Werewolf. :smokin:
Eomer, when are you thinking of having your game start?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I need players, first. I have a few sign-ups from the Thread but I think because it's so old that only few could make it. I'd like to wait probably until next weekend to give the invitees a further chance to respond, and also because I don't want to start immediately after Durelin's game.

I'm not sure about a limit on number of players; we'll see what demand is like. So please, if you are keen on gaming, and interested in the ancient lore of the Wargs, sign up!

I think it will be quite a basic, old-fashioned game, but I hope the story amuses you all. ;)

[Kath]

I'll definitely play Eomer, and thanks for the invite!

[Nogrod]

I'm afraid I'm in as well... almost thought I'd give it a break, but let's see how I can fare with that "little quieter" mode I've been trying to get into the last god knows how many games... :rolleyes:

[Gwathagor]

I'll play. If I thought I'd last beyond the first couple days, I probably wouldn't play (since I'm super busy), but as that is not the case...:)

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I'd like to play.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm very happy to include you all. :)

Still waiting on certain absent forum members...

I'll decide on the rules soon and begin telling the story.

[SamwiseGamgee]

Hail, Horsemaster!

Yea, verily and with great delight shall I participate in this new game. After all, to combine werewolf and Wargs will create nothing but delight!

[Brinniel]

With a film shoot coming up, I should probably sit this one out....but I'd rather not. Anyways, I've never reasonable when it comes to time management. :rolleyes:

So, of course you can count me in. :smokin:

[Aganzir]

Any idea when the game's going to start?

I won't be able to play between October 11th and 19th, but if the start is for some reason delayed beyond that, I'd like to play. Now how likely is that...

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Sorry Agan, but the game will start probably this weekend. October 4 or 5, and I suppose that is cutting it too close to the 11th.

[Groin Redbeard]

I won't be able to play between October 11th and 19th, but if the start is for some reason delayed beyond that, I'd like to play. Now how likely is that...
Darn it! Just when I want to join a game you won't be able to play. There's something about Aganzir and me playing WW, it never works out too well! ;)

Oh well, I'm in.

[Nerwen]

Sorry, I'll have to pass on this one. I'm shooting a film this weekend,

[Mithalwen]

Why does every other Downer get to be involved in film shoots and all I get to be involved in is bean counting?

[Diamond18]

I'm not shooting a film, Mith, if it comforts you any. Just lots of cashiering, sweeping, mopping, dusting, and bathroom cleaning for me.

Edit: Oh but I can play. I wouldn't miss it.

[Rikae]

I'll have to miss this one, too - I'm expecting a barbarian invasion later this week. :smokin: <- (that smiley looks German enough, eh?)

[Gollum the Great]

I'd like to play (never having done werewolf before), but is there some sort of sign-up place I need to use before starting (other than here, that is)?

[Nogrod]

is there some sort of sign-up place I need to use before starting (other than here, that is)?I think there is not as it seems Eomer hasn't opened a different "discussion-thread" for this one. But just follow the discussion here and Eomer will surely post here announcements about the game (and the thread where it will be eventually played).

Welcome to the weird but soo entertaining game of werewolf GreatGollum! Hope you enjoy it!

[Gollum the Great]

Thank you, Nogrod.

[Brinniel]

Why does every other Downer get to be involved in film shoots and all I get to be involved in is bean counting?
Yeah, it's interesting....I didn't realise so many other Downers were involved with filmmaking.

But if it's any comfort Mith, I'm quite certain bean counting is less stressful than shooting a film...especially if you're the producer. *continues to tear her hair out* :rolleyes:

Ooh, yet another WWer has joined our ranks. Welcome! I always love fresh blood.... :evil grin:

[Gwathagor]

Yeah, it's interesting....I didn't realise so many other Downers were involved with filmmaking.

And I'm going into screenwriting.

Hey, Gollum the Great. Welcome to the wonderful and time-consuming world of werewolf.

[Gollum the Great]

Thanks for all the welcomes (and indications of evil *winks at Brinniel*)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Ah, good! Many have come. Welcome to Brinniel, and I presume Mithalwen has decided she can't resist after all. That is good! Mr Redbeard, I believe we have never played Werewolf together so let this be a grand occasion; and a hearty warm welcome to Gollum the Great: I hope you enjoy the game. :)

I am, of course, especially delighted that SamwiseGamgee was able to make this too, for without him the Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread would never have reached such heights of hitherto unimagined glory.

Nogrod has it right: I will not be creating a separate admin thread as I do not see the point. Just post here, or PM me, if you have announcements or questions to ask. Also, don't feel the need to explain why you won't be able to post during the hours of this- and that- o'clock, every single time. Most of us (or so I've heard) have lives outside the Barrow-Downs: right there is the explanation for players not posting! You can always post in the Game Thread if you won't be around for the rest of the day or whatever.

I tentatively suggest a deadline of, say, 10 or 11 PM my time, which is GMT+1. Morning is trickier as it will probably make me very late for work every day.

Does this work for you Kitanna? And everyone else, of course.

There are still three more people I especially want to add to the game, but I'm confident about merely one of them. The other two I haven't seen for quite a while (and it's most unlike them).

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

I tentatively suggest a deadline of, say, 10 or 11 PM my time, which is GMT+1. Morning is trickier as it will probably make me very late for work every day.
This sounds pretty good at least to me. By the way, one thing you should make clear too, Eomer, are we going to go by the computer time, or by the Downs time (which, for me, is now about 15 minutes late for me)?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Ah, good point Legate. My Downs clock is way off too. My times will be gauged from the real world and not the Barrow-Downs; but note that I am a relaxed moderator, and votes posted a couple of minutes after the deadline will count.

So keep in mind that the Barrow-Downs is cruel and lies to you, but don't panic if your post gets in a minute late.

[Nogrod]

My times will be gauged from the real world and not the Barrow-Downs; but note that I am a relaxed moderator, and votes posted a couple of minutes after the deadline will count.That might be an interesting new trial: a game of WW with no actual deadline... So how do you make the difference? Two minutes late, vote okay; three minutes late, okay as well; four minutes, okay; five minutes... ten minutes, twenty minutes? Or maybe there will be the risk-taking mode involved here: leave your vote as late as possible (any minute after the deadline) but be prepared that just when you think you will vote the mod comes in and your vote is a no-vote? :)

That might be interesting indeed but for the sanity of all I'd say a certain clear deadline would be good. I mean innocents (having a strong feeling of one of the lynchees to be really more innocentish than the others), gifteds (possibly knowing someone is innocent or a wolf) and wolves (knowing who they wish to lynch) have their agenda of trying to help out with a certain outcome at the last minute. Therefore - even if some people will try to fake it - what people do at the last minutes is one of the most important things one can make deductions about the next Day.

If there is no clear deadline it will make the villagers the underdogs from the start as the insecurity of the deadline will add one more thing to baffle the villagers (was that one voting 8 minutes late really just late or was it intentional? - was s/he really trying to vote in earnest but just sadly was overrun with the mod's sudden and unforeseen deadline?).


It has been proved a working thing to use the BD-time indeed as the stamp of one's post clearly indicates the minute the post was made and no one can argue it otherwise ("I posted it in time according to my computer's clock!"). And everyone can pay heed to the exact BD time by checking it from the bottom of her/his page after refreshing the page.

But as I said, if you wish to make this the maddest game ever (which might be an idea worth trying one day indeed) then just say the deadline will be when it will be - and no one will know when - but otherwise you should actually state the exact time (and for that purpose the BD-time is the clearest as that's something we all share and can verify).

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Interesting thoughts (as is usual from Nogrod!) Here's my thinking. I would not want someone, who ponders and stresses over their vote until the last minute, to lose the chance through something silly as momentarily losing their internet conection. Also, clocks are often a minute or two early or late. Try to make sure yours is reliable.

My plan is to be around at the deadline every night, and to warn players how much time is left. It is right to say that voting after the hour mark will be seen as suspicious: that's a risk some players might take.

Votes will not be retractable.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I tentatively suggest a deadline of, say, 10 or 11 PM my time, which is GMT+1. Morning is trickier as it will probably make me very late for work every day.

Does this work for you Kitanna? And everyone else, of course.

There are still three more people I especially want to add to the game, but I'm confident about merely one of them. The other two I haven't seen for quite a while (and it's most unlike them).

So this game is part-invitational?
If not and I am not too late then I would like to join as the deadlines actually suit me, I migh actually be able not to neglect university too much.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

You are very welcome Rune. :)

The game is part-invitational, yes. I gave the first chance to people who had contributed to the Warg and Warg Rider Appreciation Thread. Unfortunately, many of those historic Downers are rarely seen these days.

I'll have to close registration very soon, though, because I'm sure we all want to start the game.

[Kitanna]

That time was works fairly well for me. Though I must warn because of school and work my posts will not always come more than once or twice a day. But I'm in if no one minds that.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

There's no obligation to post lots. If you want to post just once a day then that's fine by me. But it's more fun if people contribute more.

I think I mentioned before that the game would be simple. I've actually changed my mind and want to do something a little bit creative. But it's all very secretive. I'm still ironing out the details.

The thread should be up tomorrow and I think Night 1 will start either tomorrow or Monday.

[Mithalwen]

Eomer, may I confirm my participation?

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I'm very happy to hear that, Mith.

If anyone else wants to join you have until 7PM GMT +1 to do so. The game's deadline (i.e. beginning of Days and Nights) will be 11PM GMT +1. I'll likely send out roles a little earlier in the evening.

I'm going to start the game thread now.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Game thread is up, but no posting on it yet, please.

Ok, so this game will be a little bit experimental. I, of course, hope it goes swimmingly, but I will beg your forgiveness if it goes wrong. Here's hoping all's well, eh? ;)

[satansaloser2005]

Blast. I missed it, didn't I?


Oh well, probably for the best, what with midterms and all. Best of luck to all the players! :)

[Nogrod]

Eomer: Did Night1 start two hours before the time the actual DL will be?

[Gaunt]

Eomer,

I would like to confirm my participation in this game.

Yours sincerely,

Gaunt

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Ah, good to see you making a public appearance Gaunt. :)

I should explain, especially to Sally, that Gaunt is one of my invitees and had already told me (face to face) that he would play. I just hadn't put him in the public list until he showed up here.

I sent out roles last night so I'm afraid you are too late, Sally.

In answer to Nogrod, yes I started Night 1 early. I didn't think there was a pressing need to wait. Don't worry: the deadline for the Days from now on will not randomly be two hours early. ;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I know I haven't explained everything very official like, and I've probably missed a few things (that can't be inferred by the narrative). Please point these things out and I'll explain (if the secrets permit it!) :)

[Mithalwen]

In answer to Nogrod, yes I started Night 1 early. I didn't think there was a pressing need to wait. Don't worry: the deadline for the Days from now on will not randomly be two hours early. ;)

But Nogrod's deadline IS two hours early..... that is one of the special rules isn't it Eomer? :Merisu:

[Nogrod]

I counted it one hour wrong and didn't pay heed to the difference between BD-time and realtime... :rolleyes:

It seems to be as Eomer cryptically says it is eg. 10GMT +1 which would mean in more easy terms 9GMT...

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

11PM GMT+1.

11 for me. 10 for UK, and so on.

[satansaloser2005]

Ah, good to see you making a public appearance Gaunt. :)

No, that's totally fine, I just didn't realize this game was starting so soon. No worries; like I said, I didn't really have time to play anyway. Sounds fun though; I'm sure you'll all enjoy yourselves. :D

[Thinlómien]

I have a question about the rules: How is it decided who dies if several people get the same amount of votes? If I calculated correctly, Samwise, Kath and I all got two votes...

[Nogrod]

I have a question about the rules: How is it decided who dies if several people get the same amount of votes? If I calculated correctly, Samwise, Kath and I all got two votes...It was said in the opening post of toDay: There will be no double-lynches. In the event of a tie, the first player to reach the necessary number of votes will be killed.

[Thinlómien]

Okay, I should obviously start paying more attention to what Eomer says... :rolleyes: Sorry.

[Nogrod]

Okay, I should obviously start paying more attention to what Eomer says... :rolleyes: Sorry.

You know, he is a teacher in RL, so he must have an instinct to explain stuff to people if he assumes they don't know it. (He even has a bad habit of considering people more stupid than they are: often, when he explains something, he starts with making sure I know what some obvious thing is... )
And how I trusted you on this... :D:D

EDIT: corrected the bolding...

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

You should almost get a neg-rep for this :p

What a nice club of gentlemen we have here... :rolleyes::p;)

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Shasta has informed me that, unfortunately, he must drop out of the game due to having no time to spare. I'll take care of this in the narration tonight.

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Sorry, guys. What with a sum total of fourteen shows to do, I simply did not have the time or energy to participate to the extend I wanted to. :( My apologies, and good luck to the Wargs! Hopefully when the next game comes around I won't be so busy.

[Thinlómien]

Hopefully when the next game comes around I won't be so busy.That's rather understandable - everyone is too busy every now and then. :) Hope your shows go well!

[Groin Redbeard]

Great job to all the Were Wolves out there, you nearly succeeded but I'm glad that you didn't!:D Gaunt and Gwath, you two did an exceptional job!:D I hope you play again soon Gaunt, we need some fresh new players! ;)

[Gollum the Great]

Man, werewolf is fun! I've got to do this more.

[Gwathagor]

Gaunt and Gwath, you two did an exceptional job!:D

Thank you.

[Gwathagor]

That was actually the first game I've survived.

[Mithalwen]

Technically that was my most successful game since I voted for all the baddies and no innocents (I hope Eomer will explain what the deal was with Brinniel). Of course I died which slightly spoilt the pleasure....

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

How come no-one's posting on the game thread. :confused:

[Mithalwen]

I don't know.. Saturdays are often quiet but I expected some reactions...

[Aganzir]

Hey darlings, who's modding next? I am itching to play.

[Gollum the Great]

Hey darlings, who's modding next? I am itching to play.

A question on modding: do you have to get permission or something to do it? I'm still relatively new at werewolf, and I still don't know a great deal.

There's a modding list which consists of at most five names at a time. You must acknowledge your willingness to mod in this thread to get on the list, assuming there's space.

Great! How does one find out when its one's turn?

[Aganzir]

Hmm I think it's Diamond's turn now, and then Mith's, but after them there should be no one... It's Naria who has usually been keeping the list up to date but she doesn't seem to have been around for a while so I'm not quite sure how the list should look now.

Well whoever it is I'm in! :D

[Diamond18]

Yeah, it's my turn. I'm not sure what exactly my game is going to be, I wanted to do a "sequel" to my last game but that one needs a lot of players to work. Twenty at least. So whether I do that, or a simpler game, really depends on how many people want to play.

The original All Star Crossed... (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13362) game, for reference.

Also, the rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=13313).

[Thinlómien]

You can always count on me to be in. ;) (Says she who missed your previous game... :rolleyes: :D)

[Aganzir]

I would love to participate in such a game - it definitely sounds interesting.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Of course, after such a long absence from WW, and after such an... hmm... interesting game, it is without question for me to sign up too... and that's without taking into account what the game's going to look like... (I'm going to take a look. Hopefully that's not going to scare me away. But I hope also playing the old one isn't a prerequisite... hey, it seems to have taken place just before I joined! Anyway...)

[Diamond18]

Nope, playing in the old one isn't required. I'm just recycling the rules and special roles, basically.

Oh and Lommy, you did play in my previous game. ;) It was two years ago. :eek:

[Kitanna]

I'm interested in a Diamond-modded game.

[Gollum the Great]

This oughta be fun. I'm not sure I'll have the time, but I'll be around. When do you, Diamond, intend to start?

[Nogrod]

You wouldn't forget me Di, now you wouldn't you? :rolleyes:

The nuisance is in...

[Brinniel]

Count me in. :)

[Diamond18]

This oughta be fun. I'm not sure I'll have the time, but I'll be around. When do you, Diamond, intend to start?

As soon as I have enough people, I would say. Right now I have:

Groin (?)
Lommy
Aganzir
Legate
Kitanna
Gollum (?)
Nogrod
Brinniel
Sally (?)
Shasta

I'm going to start inviting folks methinks, because I want to start ASAP.

[satansaloser2005]

Depends on the deadline, but if it works into my schedule I'm up for reconciling my last horrid performance.

[Diamond18]

I'm thinking right now that the deadline will be 5 AM CST. The only other feasible option is 1 AM.

[Brinniel]

I'm thinking right now that the deadline will be 5 AM CST. The only other feasible option is 1 AM.
Ouch. :eek:

Well then, I can promise I won't ever be around even close to the deadline since that's 6am EST for me. I'd be much happier with the latter possible deadline, though I'm sure our European friends would disagree... :rolleyes:

[Shastanis Althreduin]

I quite like 1 AM CST for a deadline, actually. Count me in. :)

[Gwathagor]

I'm thinking right now that the deadline will be 5 AM CST. The only other feasible option is 1 AM.

:(

I'll play, but I'll have to vote several hours early in either case, as I am in CST right now.

[satansaloser2005]

I'm thinking right now that the deadline will be 5 AM CST. The only other feasible option is 1 AM.



Good gravy.:eek:



Erm, if it's 1am I'm probably up for it, but otherwise no way. (I know I'll keep wanting to wake up early and check the game, and it'll screw up my sleep schedule more than it already is.)

[Thinlómien]

Oh and Lommy, you did play in my previous game. It was two years ago. I see that now - and I now recall it. It was great game (except that morm killed me rather early :mad:;)). You may replace "Says she who missed your previous game" with "Says she who forgot your previous game" if that helps at all. :D

If my maths works, the deadline would be either 9am or 1pm for us Finns, which means I prefer the later one, because otherwise I either have to wake up earlier just for the game, or then I have to vote about 10 hours before the deadline.

[Aganzir]

Yes, I prefer the 5 am cst as well. Otherwise I would have little chance to be online at deadline.

However, are we starting before October 26th? The end of daylight saving time might cause some difficulties if the game is already running.

Also starting a separate admin thread might lure in some players. I don't know how many check this thread regularly.

[Diamond18]

I'm actually leaning more towards 1 AM now, because 5 AM means getting up ridiculously early every day just because there are two days a week I actually have to be up that early for work. Of course that will mean I'll have to be up way too late on the nights before those forced early mornings. C'est la vie. I could have a nice, manageable deadline in the evening if it wasn't for the couple nights a week I have to work from 5 PM till midnight. I really have a terrible work schedule for modding Werewolf, but I'll make it work.

Perhaps the 27th is a good day to aim for starting the game. I'll go start an Admin thread.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Just putting this out there: I've had a pretty wicked idea for a theme game which has been met with delighted enthusiasm by the few people I've told about it. So I'd like to be put on the mod list and if a space opens up when already listed mods need a bit more time to organize things, I'd be able to jump in quickly. I doubt the game will run long, but as usual it will require players who are willing to have all of their opinions completely ignored. :cool:

[Mithalwen]

I am prepared to let you in Fea if you are keen.. :D The idea of my game is delightful the reality is terrifying ... getting a bit scarily close.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I am prepared to let you in Fea if you are keen.. :D The idea of my game is delightful the reality is terrifying ... getting a bit scarily close.

Would you want to co-mod? Here, I'll PM you the details...

[Mithalwen]

Well I still want to do mine sometime - just have been ill and lazy ... but I quite like playing in your games with my chaos addiction. :p

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

but I quite like playing in your games with my chaos addiction. :p

Well, you're free to either help me keep the rabble in line (;)) or to play.

I'll just need to mention now: there will be absolutely no in-character posting. Any breach of this rule will be met with automatic mod-fire.

[Mithalwen]

Well I think I will forgo that pleasure since being your second in command might be even more of a blast on this occasion :D .

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Well I think I will forgo that pleasure since being your second in command might be even more of a blast on this occasion :D .

I know, right? I intend to recruit while Di's game is in progress and begin immediately following it. This is not an invitational, though I'll certainly strike a few deals with players I think will specifically add to the atmosphere. The more the merrier. Anyway, more about it once Di's settled comfortably into her goddess-hood.

[Groin Redbeard]

5AM CST sounds alright with me, though I hope that it's alright if I tend to vote a little early.

[Diamond18]

Come now, Mith and Fea -- I think that as punishment for talking openly about the next game before mine's even all the way recruited, you both need to join it. ;)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I've never played a lovers' game and I'm afraid taking part in a game that I'm not intimately familiar with will absolutely destroy my ability to balance schoolwork.

Not that I'm unwilling to be coerced, I'll just be out of my comfort zone and therefore quiet and probably hesitant.

But hey- Why not? Count me in. And then you should play in mine. :cool:

[Naria]

Hullo everyone! I am very sorry I haven't been around. Things are looking better though(rl). I will try my best to keep the list up-to-date and maybe just maybe play in another game;):D

From what I could gather the list should look like this:

Gollum
Mith
Kit
Shast

(room for one more mod)

I won't be putting Lhuna's name on the list because that is way to far in advance and not really fair to everyone else. I will however, put her name on the list the closer it gets to April.

Ok some other "business" I have noticed that some have decided to have sign-ups and chitty chat about their games here. Having some talk about ones game in here is perfectly fine...afterall one has to lure people in, but getting in-depth about the game and sign-ups clogs this thread making it very difficult for me to find potential mods.

Please make an admin thread:)

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Mith has kindly offered to co-mod a specialty game with me next. I'll post up the admin thread soon.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

In honor of my country's upcoming BIG DAY the Barrowdowns will be hosting a game with a FUN NEW VOTING PROCESS. Do your Barrowdowns DUTY and play!

[Naria]

Np Fea:) Mith I need to know if you are still interested in modding you own game. I will switch you two around for the time being.

Oh wait! I just realized that Gollum expressed interest before you did Fea hmm I wonder if he/she(?) is still interested. I don't have time right now to pm Gollum, could someone find out for me please and let me know here asap.

[Gollum the Great]

Naria, I will be happy to go last in the order you placed above. My story is not yet completed, and needs a bit more time to adjust.

Gollum

[Naria]

Thank you Gollum (still don't know if you're a guy or a girl though:p:D

I have edited my post. Again, Mith let me know what you are going to do. Tanks:)

[Mithalwen]

Sorry,Naria. How about that Gollum goes after Fea and I will go next after that?

That will give me a break between co-modding and modding and means that Gollum isn't displaced.

[Kitanna]

What is the mod list looking like these days? I'm thinking of throwing in my name on the list of waiting mods.

[Naria]

Done and done, thanks Mith. Kitanna you've been added:)

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Hey Naria, is it still too early for me to host again?

[Naria]

Well m'dear looks like it's been quite awhile since you've last modded:eek: I'll go ahead and add you now:)

PS: Gollum check your PM box please

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Well m'dear looks like it's been quite awhile since you've last modded:eek: I'll go ahead and add you now:)

Hooray, thanks Naria. :D

[Gollum the Great]

Oh man. I'm going to up soon. Better write my story quick!!!

[Gil-Galad]

its been awhile since i partaked in a WW match, when next one is up let me know, i would love to play again and get lynched first day!... again...

[satansaloser2005]

*hugs Gil* Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll be taking you up on that, at least for a while. Good gravy, the semester's gotten busy. :(

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

its been awhile since i partaked in a WW match, when next one is up let me know, i would love to play again and get lynched first day!... again...

I've got an admin thread up. My game will start shortly after Di's ends.

[Valier]

Hmmmmm I've got something brewing for a return of the Werecats....:eek: add my name to the list for modding. I'm in no real hurry, so whenever I get to mod one that's fine by me.:D

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

its been awhile since i partaked in a WW match, when next one is up let me know, i would love to play again and get lynched first day!... again...

Certainly. It's been for too long we haven't been lynching any Gils, now did we...

[Gollum the Great]

Big important question: is there any difference between a "Werewolf" game and a "Tol-in-Gaurhoth" game?

[Nerwen]

No.

[Gollum the Great]

Thanks.

[satansaloser2005]

Any chance I could sign up to be on the mod list? Emily and I have a FANTASTIC idea for a game, and I'd love to give it a shot.

[Naria]

The list...

Kit
Shasta
Valier
Sally & Emily:D

...has room for one more mod god.

[Beregond]

Okay, so I couldn't fend off the curiosity any more! I had to know what Werewolf was, and after reading the first post of this thread, I think I have some idea.

Sounds fun! :D

Are you accepting new players? When is the next game to start? After the opera?

[Mithalwen]

I imagine that the next mod (Kitanna) will do a sign up list when my game is over or nearing its end. New players are always welcome to keep the game fresh - for myself I am delighted that I have both very experienced and newer players in my game. :D

[Beregond]

Great! About how long does a game usually last? :)

[Mithalwen]

Depends on the number of players . Most games have 24 hr day and night phases with a death in each so if it goes to the wire it would last for a couple of days fewer than ther are players. However the wolves may be found more quickly and special roles may lengthen or shorten the game - as will multiple lynches and modfire.

[Kitanna]

The list...

Mith
Kit
Shasta
Valier
Sally & Emily:D

...is now closed.
Oh me oh my! I should probably start planning now that Mith's game is in full swing. I had no clue my turn was so close.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

You're up, Kit.

*waits excitedly*

[Kitanna]

Holy crude! I better get my admin. thread up soon.

[Kitanna]

Okay, admin. thread is officially open. (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=15282)

[Nogrod]

The list...

Kit
Shasta
Valier
Sally & Emily:D

...has room for one more mod god.

Okay. Naria asked me to update the list of the last games quite a few months ago actually but now I finally remembered it and had time to scroll through the old game-threads.

So here are the games of the last year (the older games-list can be found from page 98 of this same thread).

The dates are dates for the first post in the actual game thread (so not the exact day the game began) and should be read in the logical order of day.month.year.

Some memories coming through? :)

The six-months -line means that one is not allowed to mod another time within six months and looking at the "recently modded" -list Naria will decide the order of the future mods giving v.i.p. status for those who have not modded at all or only a long time ago... if I got the idea correctly.



Kitanna LVI - Panic at the Prancing Pony (to commence shortly)

Mithalwen LV - Sing when you're winning (6.1.09)

Gollum the Great LIV - The Council of Evil (23.12.08)

Feanor of the Peredhil LIII - The Republic (9.11.08)

Diamond18 LII - Star Crossed II: Together for Eternity (27.10.08)

Eomer of the Rohirrim LI - The Pain of Wargs (5.10.08)

Durelin L - Battle of the Fandoms (10.9.08)

Macalaure XLIX - At the Source of Darkness (16.8.08)

~*~~*~ the six-months line... ~*~~*~ :smokin:

Brinniel XLVIII - When Virtual Becomes Reality (19.6.08)

Nogrod XLVII - Dueling Wizards Werewolf II (10.5.08)

Meneltarmacil XLVI - Getting Back to Basics (1.5.08)

Legate of Amon Lanc XLV - The Fellowship of Saruman (23.3.08)

Aganzir XLIV - In the House of Tom Bombadil (24.2.08)

Farael XLIII - Mist in the Barrow Downs (1.2.08)



PS. If there are no other mod-candidates I might think of running a game once again. But sure those who have never tried it or have done it a longer time ago than I have should go first.

[Thinlómien]

Once Kit's game goes of the modding list and there's space, I'd actually like to mod. (For the listkeeper's information, I've modded twice, last in December 2007. :)) My spring (and summer) will be rather sort of interesting, though, so I might be willing to swap places with mods after (or before) me. :)

[Nogrod]

Looking at the pace the games have gone on the last year (and earlier) it might be something like mid/late April when it would be your turn Lommy - if you are placed as the next one on the list of mods now accounted for. Isn't that the best possible timimg for you?

Anyway your "modship" should precede mine as I have modded more games and more lately than you have.

And anyone who has not yet modded or has done so a long time ago should go before me.

Also, just as a teaser... anyone wishing to mod the Dueling Wizards III late spring / early summer, or something like that? :)

[Thinlómien]

And anyone who has not yet modded or has done so a long time ago should go before me.And before me as well. :)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well I have been thinking about modding too, but that has time: especially if somebody else expresses their wishes to do so. Most of all, depending on the pace of the games, which may vary a lot, I might anyway be forced to swap if I signed up for some place. But anyway, at least Lommy should by right be before me, and that means for now, I won't get to the list anyway.

[the phantom]

I have plans for a rather unique Werewolf game. I would like to do it sometime after February, but before August. Nice big window there.

And it will be very fun. I promise.

And don't worry, Legate. No secret roles this time. ;)

Oh, and I would very much like a co-mod.

I'm betting I won't be able to (since I'll be modding in the spring) but I think it'd be fantastic to have a Nebraskan-ruled game. ;)

Oh, and once Emily gets back we're going to get started planning our game. *grins maniacally* Hopefully you'll all enjoy it! :D

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Oh, am I after Kitanna?

...Heh. Heh heh heh. :cool:

[satansaloser2005]

I don't like the sound of that....

:p


By the way, if my game happens to be over our spring break I'd be fine with letting someone go before me. For now, though, I'm not terribly worried. Except about Shasta's probably evil plan, though. ;)

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

And don't worry, Legate. No secret roles this time. ;)
As if I believed you...

[the phantom]

But you should believe me, Legate. After all, the primary reason I have decided to hold no secrets this game is so that you will be able to participate.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hmm. What a honour... all right, I will consider that.

[Brinniel]

Hmm...it seems there is an awful long waiting list.

Well, you don't need to write me down yet or anything, I just wanted to express I am interested in modding another game in the near future. I have a couple ideas in mind and would like to put them to use.

Also, I want to point out a post from long ago:
I wonder if I could reserve a spot for modding around April to May 2009 as early as now...
If Lhuna's still interested in modding at that time, then I think it'd be nice if we let her. :)

[Shastanis Althreduin]

Kit's game is over (and a tremendous showing by the wraiths for their victory!), so does anyone mind if I go ahead and put my admin thread up?

[Thinlómien]

Kit's game is over (and a tremendous showing by the wraiths for their victory!), so does anyone mind if I go ahead and put my admin thread up?At least no one should mind. ;) So, I say, go on, Shasta. :)

[Mnemosyne]

Due to Certain Events you should remove "Emily" from the list; sally shall be modding more or less solo.

And if it's not too forward for a n00b, I'd like to enter the queue.

[Mirandir]

I have plans for a rather unique Werewolf game. I would like to do it sometime after February, but before August. Nice big window there.

And it will be very fun. I promise.

And don't worry, Legate. No secret roles this time. ;)

Oh, and I would very much like a co-mod.

I'd be willing to give it a shot, if you'll have me. I've never done it before and working with such an experienced player as yourself would be a fantastic learning experience. :D

[wilwarin538]

I'd like to be put on the list for modding a game, after phantom's comment about me modding one of the best games ever :D I'm feeling nostalgic.

So if there's a list or something I have plenty of time between may and august, so you can count me in for one! :)

I'll have to think up something brilliant in the meantime...

[wilwarin538]

Actually, I could do a game as soon as April, if it happens to get to my name that soon, I don't want to be bumping anyone down or anything though. But I've got my idea and am quite excited, it will be grimm, but it will be fun.....mwhahaha. :D

For who ever needs to know, I have modded once before, back in 2006ish.

[satansaloser2005]

Hmmmm. I haven't seen Val around in ages. I'm thinking I should finalize my plans so I'm ready to go, eh?

[satansaloser2005]

Hmmmm. Well I'm nearly ready to go (I'm definitely ready to put up my admin thread, and I can make a couple changes as I finalize things) but I don't want to get in Val's way if she comes back, since she's first.


*shrug*


Anyone mind if I put up my admin thread today or tomorrow, just to get things rolling? (I can certainly wait if anyone has an idea where Val's gone to, as I don't have a big problem waiting) Meh. I'll get everything typed up and see where it goes from there.

Whether my game's next or if it's after Valier's I hope to see you all there! It should be fun!

[Durelin]

Well, Valier actually posted today on her RPG's discussion thread, so you might want to PM her (if you haven't already) just to check.

Pretty crazy timing. :D

Hehe. Yeah, I figured she'd been around and I just hadn't noticed her or something. I'll hold off then. I'd planned to PM her in a bit and ask, but now I don't have to. ;)


*waits to sign up for Val's game*

[Durelin]

Well, I think someone'd better PM her - I can if you want - because this was her first post in a long while (she apparently just got an internet connection back), so I expect it's quite likely she's forgotten all about the WW game.

So I'll shoot her a quick PM unless you'd rather.

Aaaahhhh, gotcha. Yeah, I'll give her a quick PM to see what's up. Thanks for the info! :)

[Brinniel]

Did anyone PM/hear back from Valier? It's been a week since the last game ended and if she has made no indication of modding, then I think you should go ahead and put up your game thread, Sally. If Valier does turn up later and still wants to mod, she can always go next.

Also, it seems that our mod list has run empty. There have been several who expressed interest in modding soon, but there's no official list or order. Should we get one going?

These are the members who said they'd like to mod in the near future:
Nogrod
Lommy
Legate
phantom (and Mira?)
Brinn
?Lhuna? (indicated last year interest in modding in April/May)
Mnemo
wilwarin

My admin thread is going up Wednesday unless Val shows up. Today and tomorrow are just going to be super busy and I need to finish typing up a few things for the game, so I'll post as soon as I'm ready. I just wanted to make sure that Val had enough time to pop in and check, but if she's not said something by then I'm going to go ahead with my game.

[Valier]

Sorry guys I'm not prepared for my game to start yet. Put me at the bottom of the list again. Hopefully by then I'll be ready:p

Ah. No worries, life happens. Can't wait to see what you're planning.


My admin thread goes up tonight or tomorrow (depending on how my evening goes) and hopefully the game can start up soon. Be on the lookout! :)

[Beregond]

Just popping in after a hectic month, checked my reputation (I really haven't gotten into that feature yet, sorry to all the people who deserved my repping in the past!), and found a bunch of them from my WW game! Thanks, everyone. :)

I had fun, but I can't see playing another game for a while with all the other things I need to do. But I hope y'all keep enjoy it. :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Thinking of modding a game ere:

a) the wonderful world of employment sweeps me; and

b) Lhuna mods her game. :p

[Gwathagor]

I would like to be tentatively added to the list.

[Brinniel]

Speaking of modding, while there's plenty of people interested, the official mod list is now empty (the last one was Sally).

So, the question is....who's modding next? If we're going by who requested first, then I think the next mod would be Nogrod...

We probably should get this sorted out before Sally's game ends so whoever does mod next has time to prepare.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Back then, when there was some discussion, I know there was me and also Lommy who have expressed our feelings to mod (and we should go before Nogrod because he was modding a game far more recently than both of us). Also Lhuna said that she would like to mod in April - the question is, if she is still willing to do that or whether she is busy. However, there was another person and that was our well-known Mr. Phantom, and it seemed that he would like to mod before us. So, if he is still interested? (And I guess he is.)

And don't know, maybe there was somebody else, but I don't remember him.

[wilwarin538]

There was me aswell.....I can't before May though, so someone can definitely go before me....I'm good for any time between May and August really, so where ever that fits me on the list is fine. :)

[the phantom]

Indeed, I am next.

Nog, Legate, and Lommy were ahead of me, but I have spoken to them and due to their schedules I will be modding my game after Sally's is completed.

Unless something changes, Mirandir will be modding with me.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Nog, Legate, and Lommy were ahead of me, but I have spoken to them and due to their schedules I will be modding my game after Sally's is completed.

Yep, but there's still the thing I was not aware of at the moment - that Lhuna wanted to mod, if I am not mistaken. If that is so and she still wants to, I'd suggest it will be fair if we all wait.

[satansaloser2005]

And don't forget Valier, who was on the list before myself but was unable to go at the time. She mustn't be left out.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Yes, yes, see? I knew there were quite many people. So the list is, in fact, pretty busy. Let's see what can be done. Myself, I would prefer to run a game sometime either at the end of April or sometime during May. If wilwa says she can go as far as August, I guess she does not need to hurry to the list. I don't know about Lommy in particular, but I guess she'd also prefer some time before summer, but I can be mistaken. No idea about Nogrod. And the most important are, anyway, now those two - Lhuna and Valier. I suggest we wait for them to make contact, if they can. From there on, we can move to further arrangements.

[Nogrod]

I have modded a few games already and am in no hurry if there are people with fewer modded games behind them or with whom the last time is farther away.

So I'm ready and willing but others with better claims should go before me - as I said already when we discussed this the last time.

[Mnemosyne]

...I'd like to mod. (The game would be narration-driven and not have any insanity like yonder *swings thumb at current game*) But I only joined the queue rather recently.

[Brinniel]

Lhuna said she wanted to mod in April/May, so I'd doubt she'd be able to until the game after next, though that's just my guess. Valier said she wanted to be placed on the bottom of the list. So perhaps our list would look something like this?

phantom and Mira
Lhuna
Lommy
Valier

Though Nilp mentioned he would like to mod if he can sometime soon. So perhaps we can let him bump ahead on the list?

Other interested mods for future reference:
Legate
Nogrod
Brinn
Mnemo
wilwarin
Gwath

[Lhunardawen]

At this point I'm not yet sure if I'm capable of modding; I'm too caught up with pre-graduation rituals. If I ever deem myself ready, that would probably be around sometime May. So anyone else could go ahead.

I'm seriously amazed you can still remember I expressed an interest in modding. I almost forgot that myself. :D

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Daga. :p

Yay!

[Nilpaurion Felagund]

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, your lordship.

What say you?

On the charge of moderating a game, we find the defendant Nilpaurion Felagund unable.

Your lordship, we would wish to file a motion for reconsideration.

Guess what? I ain't bovvered.

~*~*~

PLAINTEXT: I ain't modding a game anymore, not anytime soon at least.

[the phantom]

I have all of my rules and roles put together. I just need to finish up my last little bit of research. Yes, I'm actually looking things up for this game.... you'll see why....

An Admin thread will appear in the next day or so. Please, do not pester me with questions until the thread is up. Then you will see what I have planned and what to do about it.

And as I promised Legate, the rules/roles will be open for everyone to see. No tricks. Not like last time I modded. *snicker*

See you soon.

[Nerwen]

And as I promised Legate, the rules/roles will be open for everyone to see. No tricks. Not like last time I modded. *snicker*

I hope not *shudder*

[the phantom]

The admin thread goes up tomorrow. Late afternoon most likely. Before I go to bed at the latest. Once the thread is up you can start firing questions my direction. Good night.

* Just bringing the two tallies together here to one place and updating it with the few latest.

[Lariren Shadow]

I would like to be added to the mod list please!

[Brinniel]

Hmm...I think our list is currently looking something like this:

Lommy
Legate
Valier
Nogrod

And the other interested mods for future reference:

Brinn
Mnemo
wilwarin
Gwath
Lari

Which I believe means Lommy is up next...

[Eönwë]

Actually, add me to the "Interested mods for future reference" category.

[satansaloser2005]

For reference, whoever's game is next, I can't play. My apologies. I'm graduating from college in three weeks, or at least I will be if I get all my papers and projects and things done. Something tells me Werewolf would eat a bit too much of my time.


(Now of course we all know I'll be playing anyway because I'm an idiot like that, but this is my permission to the village to kill me off at random if they like)



:Merisu:

[Thinlómien]

Alright then... I will try to contact Valier since she expressed her interest in modding before me, so it would be just fair if she was allowed to mod first. If she's can't/doesn't want to mod yet, I will negotiate with Legate because he expressed some desire to mod earlyish while I don't care so much... so we might switch places. In any case, the next admin thread should be up in a few days. :)

[Lhunardawen]

I know I'm in the list of possible mods, but you can remove me from there indefinitely. I can't see myself modding a game anymore, at least not yet.

[Valier]

Sorry guys looks like I wont have time to mod after all. Please take my name from the list for now:)

[Thinlómien]

Alright, so it's my turn? How exciting. :D I have some reasearch to do about my theme, so the only thing I can tell you right now that it's going to be a basic game (3-4 wolves depending on the amount of players, and a seer, a ranger and a hunter, although we don't even need to have all of them) and that my admin thread will be up on Sunday. :)

[Thinlómien]

My admin thread (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=594676#post594676) is up. Feel free to sign up... :)

[wilwarin538]

I know a game is still in progress, but I'm just putting this out there so I don't forget to mention it, and I just found out this info like 2 minutes ago. I said about a month ago that I'd be good to mod between may-august, I'm taking a summer course though and that has made it so that my late july and august are going to be far too busy. I don't want to bump anyone down that asked first or never has, so feel free to leave me to the last possible moment, which would be the beginning of July. Thanks!

[Nogrod]

Updating the list Brinn made...


Legate
Nogrod

Brinn
Mnemo
wilwarin
Gwath
Lari
Eönwë

Legate is the next in line and anyway I have no chances of modding a game in the last two-three weeks of May - and sadly I'm afraid I can't even participate a game then. Those weeks are just going to kill me RL.

But from the beginning of June I have all the time up to the beginning of August.

So if Legate wants to run his game after Lommy that would be fine. Then we could discuss it whether Wilwa (or Brinn or Mnemo) would prefer hosting a game or should I do it next after Legate.

It would be my turn then but I'm open to suggestions if your timetables have limitations. From the beginning of August I will be away from the 'Downs in general quite definitively for a month anyway so my next chance to mod would be on September. But even that would be no problem to me.

Modding is fun but if there are people who have not modded at all or have modded only once I'm ready to let you go first.

[wilwarin538]

Alright, well here are two lists, perhaps they can be compiled somehow, to make it the fairest:

In order of when they asked (please do correct me if this is wrong)
Legate
Nogrod
Brinniel
Wilwa
Gwath
Mnemo
Lari
Eonwe

Those who never have (again, correct me if I'm wrong): Mnemo, Gwath, Lari, Eonwe
The rest who have modded (in order from longest time ago to most recent, and # of times modded)
Wilwa (back in 05ish/06ish, once)
Legate (03/08, twice)
Nogrod (05/08, thrice)
Brinniel (06/08, once)

So I don't exactly know what that makes. I know there's also available times to be considered. But there seems to be a consensus that Legate is next.

Wow, this is kinda complicated, hahaha.

[Mnemosyne]

I'm completely flexible as to when I would hold my game. I'm planning on doing a classic game (basic rules; narrationally driven) so I'd prefer to hold it after someone else has done something a bit more complicated.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well, as for me... not that the coming time won't be without running my game in the middle of an end-of-semester rush :D but, I have done it once and I can do it again.... ;)

If some people who haven't modded yet desperately wanted to, though, I could let them... but then, this may be one chance for me to mod for some time to come... so perhaps I'd like to use it.

But I am still open to negotiations. The last word has not been said yet.

[Nogrod]

So I don't exactly know what that makes. I know there's also available times to be considered. But there seems to be a consensus that Legate is next.

Wow, this is kinda complicated, hahaha.Right you are.

I can't talk on behalf of Legate but with me you can rest assured I'm ready to make a deal with anyone who has not modded a game or with those (well, you Wilwa) who has only modded a game a long time ago.

I'm in no hurry but would like to host a game in some nearish future (those limitations I talked about in my last post being rather sticky) meaning something like between now and the next Christmas... or anything. :)

Modding is fun.

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hmm, all right, now I would perhaps like to ask one question here... The thing is, it is possible that I may be really very busy by the time when I should mod my game, and so I am sort of becoming less and less sure of whether it's a good idea for me to mod right now.

My question would be, if there is anybody (wilwa? Nogrod? Brinn? Mnemo? Anybody?) who would be willing to mod now, instead of me. Would there be any volunteers?

[wilwarin538]

If there are no objections I would like to. From July to mid August I'll be too busy with my summer course, so this would be perfect timing for me.

But anyone who asked before me is free to go first.

[Nogrod]

I'm good with Wilwa modding the next one (even if I have to skip that game myself due to end-of-semester madness).

During the summer I know some people are very hard to catch and others will have all the time in their hands. But we might discuss that Legate - which one of us goes for the next after that or do we pass our turn to someone who has not modded... like Mnemo.

[wilwarin538]

I'm all ready to go, so if there are no objections I can have my admin thread up, for WW LXI: Grimm Tales (a little teaser ;) ), either later tonight or Saturday morning. Is that good with everyone? :) The actual game I'm hoping to have started late next week or early into the week after.

[Thinlómien]

Wilwa, I think you may go on as no one has protested to your modding and my game's officially over. :)

(PS. I'm sad I can't play because of silly Uni entrance exams but I will probably be following the game at least a little!)

For sure - I officially delegate my post to you, and I think whoever might have wanted to object would have already done so.

Alright, Admin Thread (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?p=596661#post596661) now up.
