I got an idea. Why don't you mod WW XII and then I mod WW XXIII? That way you can use your idea in it and then if I like it, I can incorprate it in mine, if no one has any problems with me and phantom modding the two after Holby.

Since I can't think of anything else, I'll be a barmaid at Boromir88's cafe - with a degree in Psychology though

When are we starting again? With all the timezone confusion, I don't really get what tomorrow is ^^

Very much looking forward to it!

Ahem, assuming that you meant XIII, I think there's already a lengthy list of future mods waiting their turn. Here are those who wish to mod a game (hope I didn't miss anyone).

XI = Holby
XII/ XIII = phantom
spawn
Oromin (December/ January)
Glirdan
Gil-Galad

Oh, that sounds tempting. I don't mind having a stupid profession but I can think one up myself. I'll be a riksha driver. Thanks.

Admins can. Mods can't. So don't worry, I have had no advantage in this game as a forum Mod (doesn't it show? ).

As for game mods, the following are pencilled in:

Werewolf XI: Holbytlass
Werewolf XII: the phantom

Having been regular players for longer, I think that dancing spawn and Oromin should have priority to mod the games after that provided that they are able to. That gives us more than enough games to be getting on with for the time being.

Glirdan and Gil, your interest in modding has been noted.

Also, seeing how popular the game still is, we should maybe introduce a 2 games-in-a-row maximum for players. Anyone else think this might be a good idea?

Or maybe run games concurrently? There is a lot of interest in both playing and moderating. Maybe there should be an occasional game for novices only - it does seem that the very experienced players can dominate (until they are killed for being too dangerous) . I don't think there should be permanent divisions but if there were enough players for 2 games at a time it might be interesting and helpful to let the beginners and novices have a game to themselves while those who played more got a game where they won't be automatic choices for werewolves night 1...

I love the idea! I think it would add an interesting element of complexity and yet give those who are a bit green around the collar some good experience.

That's a great idea. Maybe someone could put together a beginner's game in the Novices and Newcomers Forum? With the forum administrators approval, of course. Perhaps with a certain maximum time on the downs... say four or five months? That would help a lot of people get experience, and would elminate the possible confusion of having two simultaneous WW games going in Mirth.

Yes, I can definitely see that happening. But what can be done?

I agree with that. If it's possible, I could mod the first one, but could I still participate in this one?? I'm after all not quite a begginer now. I did after all fool all of you. As if you thought I was the wolf!! Sheez!!!
