You also have issues of lots of players have similar styles to some extent.

Although...Nilp is...Nilp.

Sure. But trying to be Spawn or Spm would be much more challenging... and much more fun indeed!

It's all the same to me who mods the game we're talking about here. Maybe the next Mod wishes something completely different and this discussion should be shoven off...

But if we are having a slow-down here, I might apply for the modding as I have two weeks of spare time to actually do something about it. But as well, I would really enjoy playing the game myself as well...

So who's next? So far all the people have just avoided their turns...

Actually, I'd like to be involved in playing the aforementioned game rather than modding it. I defer to whoever would like to mod that one.

If nothing gets started, though, I'll be doing a more "standard" one that'll involve the return of the werebear, which should hopefully be more challenging. Though perhaps adding a fourth Wolf might be a good idea...

I already said that I would mod if the people ahead of me on the list were not able or wanting to at this point.... I'm busy but I will be this same level of busy for a long time, ergo I'll just have to work around it if I ever want to mod again.

I could work on a post outlining my game (I've some posts in the Scenario thread about it) and put up a Sign Up thread. The only problem is, how long do you think it would take me to get 20 players? Because that's how many I'd like, and would be happy with more. If you think that someone with a smaller game idea should go next... well, would you all be adverse to me at least giving it a go? And if a week or so passes without enough players, just reverting to a more basic game?

Well, in the interest of taking action, I've put a thread for the next game. I'm ready when ya'll are ready.

Feel free to shoot me if I've leapt over someone on the list, but it seems like everyone tht was ahead of me declined for one reason or another. Which doesn't exactly bode well for my game, but there you have it.

Sure it would be fun to take somebody else's identity for a game of werewolf, but I don't think it is possible. I mean, I'm sure Nogrod could make a convincing dancing spawn, but how could a more silent player act like a vocal one? I don't think it is the unwillingness to post that makes a silent player a silent player. There's RL-restrictions, simple introversion or the sheer inability to make so many good points like the big ones. I think it's not 'want not', but 'cannot'. Plus, what Kuru said, as soon as the tension goes up, people will go back into their common personalities.

Besides, Nogrod, why do you feel you have to play like everyone expects you to? Especially now that the number of village wins went up and it is said that the quality of play has increased, I don't think you will be lynched only because of playing differently, at least not very often .
Go ahead, fool around! Your fun will be everyone's.

It just seemed, that there were a lots of suspicions going around in the last game that I was in that I was not "not playing as I normally would". The funniest was the ever so often recurring: he's aggressive when he's innocent and mild-mannered when a wolf...

It so much depends, not on my role, but on my RL-time available. If I have a lots of time, I build cases and try to make the difference, if I have not, then I'm pretty easy... I've been toning down my way of playing game after game and I know it takes time. Once you have a label then you have it - remember Mac why you were suspected in the game before the last?

But no problem. Secret identities is a no-go here and that's it. We'll just have to try to deal with ourselves together, and that's fun too! I mean, in the end it's a lot more fun to play with Lommy, Morm, Di, Mac and Jenny than with A, B, C, D and E!
