Funny, some people say they don't ever want to be seer again. I had more fun as seer than anything.

Speaking of which, fill in the blank:

"I don't ever want to be _____________ again, because ____________."

The curious want to know....

"I don't ever want to be a Werewolf again, because I take this game far too seriously and it therefore seriously affected my werewolf/life balance."

[Formendacil]

"I don't ever want to be the Fool again, because
I hate being a known innocent with no talent. One has to play so seriously, because the village needs its Known Innocents- but one can't DO anything."

I'm not posting my stats until I can report favourable results.

Well, since I claim XVI and XVIII ( SPW) as moral victories, I can report a favourable moral win rate. That count?

XVIII? When on your last DAY alive you realised Sauce was too easy to convince?

Hush, remind me not of that!

Well, considering I've only played three games I'm not sure I can fill those blanks out.

At first I thought I never wanted to be an ordo again because my head was spinning all game & I was convinced that WW games were over-rated afterall. Now that I've played two more and watched countless more I don't think I'd be quite as easily fooled (not bragging). That would make being an ordo quite a bit less painful...I wouldn't mind being an ordo again.

At first I was not thrilled at being Cobbler because I didn't understand the role to well. After playing a full game with the role it can be a trying role but I enjoyed the challenge. I wouldn't mind being a Cobbler again.

I'm not 100% sure I'm patient enough for the Seer role...I know in my WWJ game as Seer I went for the kill when I thought I had the chance, knowing it was a stupid move. Still, I wouldn't mind being a Seer again either, that way I could try the role without trying to pull off a stupid strategy.

So at this point I don't think I could fill out those blanks, I'm not sure if that'd change with more games, but...I guess we'll have to see on that one.

I'm curious: Has anyone ever modded a game & then wished they hadn't afterwards? Because of the time commitment, because it was more challenging then they expected, because of any reason at all?

How about it?

My only problem was the time. Because I am a student and do extra-curricular activities, it takes up a lot of time. So, as those of you who played in either of my games saw, the time got changed quite a bit. However, I always managed to get it back on track. Other then that, I had a blast!

Speaking of which, fill in the blank:

"I don't ever want to be _____________ again, because ____________."

The curious want to know....

This isn't a hard one: an ordo simply because I've been one far to many times. It gets rather annoying actually...

[THE Ka]

I've only been able to play twice, due to school hours and final papers and other such things, but it's made me admire the game much more. Almost as much as a good poppyseed muffin, which I hold in high esteem at any meal time.

Playing ability has been sadly, horrible.

Games: 2
Ordinary Villager: 1, and unfortunately thought to be too suspicious to be true.
Werewolf: 1, horrible really when the other two live in much different time zones.
Lived through: 0

I know, pathetic. But, there are some wonderful things I've gotten out of the two. The first one was a wonderful experience to excerise nose grinding logic until my head cracked. Also, it brought me to meet a new friend, and I'm sure the rest of you pretty much know from there. Plus, I ended up a lonely une poisson sandwich in the end, but oh was it fun to scheme with logic!

The second one, besides the time zone woes, really was horrible. I had to kill myself off because, my teacher decided to assign yet another thesis paper on the roll of 'evils' of human nature and their effect in selected classical and modern literature. Good thing is, I recieved 100% on overall understanding and writing of the subject. Also, I really enjoyed reading and watching how the game unfolded.

So, overall, I have not 'won' any of the games, but I have won wonderful experiences, memories and met and seen more of people. Plus, anticipation for when ever I can play again, or watch another game.

I truly hope this will not be the case for me. Actually I'm already having a ton of fun and my game hasn't even started yet. Just plotting and watching the list of signer-uppers grow has been most fun.

As for the original question, I'm not sure I can really answer it either, having only played in three games so far. I feel as if I should try out every role at least once before deciding.

When are you going to be playing again, btw? I was thinking of PMing you about my game, but then it filled up much to my surprise so I kind of chucked my "people to PM" list.

I'd say the summer is a good target date (preferably early summer). Hopefully this summer I'll get to play in at least a couple games and mod one also. So I should be updating my stats in here.

Should be fun.

Well, I modded a game at the wrong time--it was finals week on the semester I planned to ace all of my subjects (aced only 3/4, depressing)--so some of the death posts (mostly lynch posts) were not as well as I had hoped. *coughcoughI'mreallysorryKatherine* Some, though, were quite better than I expected (the last-minute 'Freud to death' post for Celuien was one of them).

*shrugs* Oh, well. Over all, it was a fun experience. I want to do it again.

[Kuruharan]

The Three have won 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 18=11.

And if you count the Junior games, the villagers are on an even more impressive winning streak. Streakin'!
