I've followed the current game with one eye, but as a non-player I'm not going to comment on the present situation beyond seconding what
sally said last - i.e. common courtesy if not fairness would dictate to hear
Noia before you jump to any conclusions.
Btw
sally, I don't quite remember - did you give that kind of 'cookies' to living players as well or only the dead? The latter of course doesn't harm anybody in my opinion; not so sure about the former.
On general matters, I think a minimum of 5-6 games played before your modding debut is only sensible. There can always be exceptions, of course - e.g. I remember
Morsul did a competent modding job after having played 2-3 games or something like that, but as a general rule it should be considered. And having a co-mod is
never a bad idea, regardless of the mod's experience, just so that somebody can take over if life or the unpredictable demons of the internet throw something unexpected at you.

That's a very good idea, to consult with an experienced player about your ideas for your first modded game. Actually, I've been ruminating about a game of my own for a while now, and I've already decided to do exactly that before throwing my hat into the ring.
Another good idea for first-time mods (except veterans who somehow just never got around to modding one for whatever reasons, like e.g.
Nerwen before the last game) might be to first try their hands on a simple traditional game before venturing for something more experimental.
Finally,
sally and
Rikae, about that thread you're planning to start, are you thinking of something like
this? I discovered that old thread of
Nogrod's yesterday while browsing through some older games and immediately thought we should have a second edition of it after what went on in the last game. Anyway, it's a thought-provoking read, and some of the questions raised in it are obviously still up to date.
