I'm not sure whether I should put this in the TiG thread yet as Kuru keeps yelling at people for putting things in there when they shouldn't, and he's a scary chap.
Good to hear from you Kath.

Maybe you should PM lmp about putting this message into the TiG-thread. I can't see a reason for him to refuse that - if you there clearly state, that the recruiting will happen via PM's = no talk in the thread itself after this announcement.

And nice to have this announcement at least here in public!

Just wait for a mass invasion on your PM-account...

I would think that there might be some people who will be desperate for a more standard WW game.

Hey Mith, if it's a small game you're looking for that is what mine will be!
The werepenguin game by me and Lommy will also probably be quite basic. But we shall see to that. It will depend a lot also on the fact, how many players are wishing to join etc. Anyhow: we are not going to put up a 30-player game with totally new twists on the basic gaming-logics. So at least in that sense, quite basic.

But I have a feeling that it's become more or less tradiiton to call these games "junior" and the others "senior" and it's hard to change tradition.
I agree with this. And wouldn't be the one to actually suggest anything like changing the names of the threads / games. I just have the impression, that some people still think there is a difference in quality between the two - and welll, if they don't come to the WWJ games because of that, that's all the worse for them. They lose there, not us who play also in the WWJ...

A little clarity

The original reason for TiG-J was that there were more available players than games.

TiG was meant to be the main carrier of werewolf games.

TiGJ was meant to be available if there were enough players to play a second werewolf game while the first was already going.

I see no reason why the original purpose need be dropped. As soon as the next moderator has enough available playeres, the next TiG-J werewolf game can start, regardless of when Dueling Wizards is complete.

Well, we hit the problem earlier this spring, as (due to the overall crush to a WWJ-game) there were not enough people to play a game (in TiG). After that there has been discussion, whether the games should be intertwined more neatly. But I'm sure we will come to a good arrangement. After Kath informs us that her game (TiG) is full, we may start to recruit people to our game here (TiGJ) - and start the game, when it's convenient to us & the players.

So I don't see this as a major problem, but just something that has to be organized sensibly after hearing different opinions and peoples needs & hopes. And surely, if Kath is in a hurry and we (Lommy & I ) are not, it's just right, that Kath goes on with her game first...

I'm just to say I agree with all Nogrod has said on the upcoming days. He never asked me, you know....

Anyway, I'd prefer our game start around the 5th of June. That would be perfect for me.

Parents are like that.... ...

I do thinkk it is an oversimplification to regard WWJ as mere overspill though...grrrr

I would disagree a little with the first part. I said that our game would (probably) be fairly basic - as we have discussed, and that we would have to see how this turns out, and what are people's needs etc. before we make definitive timetables. And about the (possible) deadline we have talked too.

And about that starting date we have been discussing as our favourite, but as I said earlier, we will have to see. It would surely be the most convenient one.
