Roa...I'm afraid even anonymity wouldn't make Noggie very difficult to identify, unless he had a proof-reader. No offense, Noggie...but your accent would give you away.

Roa_Aoife · 05-05-2006, 11:33 AM

It's less the accent, and more the attitude, I think. Not that there's anything wrong with being headstong...

Really? I'd put it down to the overabundance of commas!

It was a good idea though, it's a shame it couldn't be implemented. No one would have been able to claim that Day 1 was useless, as we'd all be spending it trying to work out who everyone else was

Thinlómien · 05-07-2006, 04:28 AM

It's probably me and Nogrod next on the modding list.

(We have negotiated with Samwise and he'd like to mod after us and that's perfectly fine with us. Anyway, I have Pmed him to see if he has a final objection. That's why it's "probably" me and Nogrod next...)

The game starts after LMP's megalomaniac game is finished. We'd prefer to start in in early June, when our summer holidays have just begun. (2nd or 3rd or something like that.) Then we could have a better deadline, since if we have school/work we can't have a deadline that most people can cope with.

The game will be called The Island of Philosophical Penguins or The Island of Psychotic Penguins and it introduces a new lycantrophe species; werepenguin.

The game will have quite basic roles.

Thanks for support Jenny! But I think it's not so much an accent, as just plain and simple broken English...

Kath · 05-07-2006, 07:14 AM

If we're taking a vote on the name I'd go for The Island of Psychotic Penguins, but then I would

Roa_Aoife · 05-07-2006, 11:37 AM

How many different species of therianthropes are there? As many as our mods want! I'm just waiting for the aquarium version where all the villagers are fish, and are being attacked by the evil were-sharks. They can protected by a Dolphin.

I say go for the philosophical penguins. So many philosophy jokes are just waiting to be made.

And Nogrod, I find your English to be quite good. I didn't even realize it wasn't your first language till I learned where you're from.

And Roa, you simply MUST mod the Weresharks game!

Roa_Aoife · 05-07-2006, 05:40 PM

Alright, if I ever decide to mod, I call Weresharks. Dibs, I tell you, DIBS! Of course, no garruntees on ever modding. I like playing far too much.

Nogrod · 05-07-2006, 06:02 PM

I'm just shivering from the thought of weresharks!

But what is your opinion? We (Lommy & me) have been thinking about two different scenarios:

1) The old story about the elves making the icy passage to the ME - so what actually happened to those who never made it?

2) A luxury cruise on the fourth age, where a shipwreck would throw a bunch of ME aristocracy on a deserted island?

On both scenarios, you would have to pick up your roles from highly esteemed circles. But which one would be the more interesting? A purely elven game, or a post-LotR aristocracy game?

And as Lommy noted already: we will not be competing with Lmp's game, so we would start only after that game is at an end - and if Samwise doesn't suddenly appear and change his stance on the order of the games.

That's a reasonable concord...

We'll see about it.
