How come people are busier over Christmas? It's a holiday!
I'd like to join a game in that late December-early January slot, too...Unfortunately, college is keeping me really busy until winter break. It's been forever since I played, too. Feels like I'm going through Werewolf withdrawal!

I don't have time to play a game any time soon. But I would certainly appreciate it if it if someone told me who's modding after Durelin....and if no one is, then if I could...?

Actually, the most convenient thing for me would be if I could mod a game after New Years. Would it be possible to plan that? There should be time for at least two more games between now and then. Durelin could do a game and perhaps someone else. And if someone still comes in line before me by the time New Years rolls around, then they can have it. I just can't do it before then and I would like to do it before too long.

With the speed these are going right now your hope is fulfilled already.

Gil-Galad is starting a game soon (in TiGJ) and then Durelin will mod here, after Gil's game (Durelin is in Gil's game herself). Then it would be my turn in TiGJ - and we might look then together whether we go one at the time or try simultaneous games (which I don't think will work). So at least two games before yours anyhow...

Yes, things are a little slow lately in the WW department. I feel like I might be holding things up, but there really isn't a great number of people voicing interest in WW right now. Part of it is surely the holidays, I'd think.

Well, since quite a number of people dropped off the list, I think you get first dibs on a game after me, Foley. And then I think either Nogrod or Fordim (or both, heh) should be after you, if Nogrod is interested in doing a normal WW game, too (I know you were interested in doing a normal WW game at want point...), and if Fordy is still interested.

Perhaps we'll be lucky and Gil's game will get started a little earlier than planned... *is eager to do her game*

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
To be quite honest, I'm not sure I really understand why the TiGJ thread is active right now; WW seems to have been pretty slow lately, and originally the reason for the Jr. thread was because too many people wanted to play. Obviously there aren't enough people interested to be running two games right now. Wouldn't it be easier if everything could just be kept to this regular thread until more interest should pick up again? Just an idea...

Apparently the reason for the WWJ thread has changed over time, from what you described, Firefoot, to a sort of a "novices'" game. But that's not exactly accurate either. I think it's really where the mod prefers to launch his/her game from. (shrugs) Now that WWJ exists, I don't think we're going to have much success in convincing folks to use this place unless there's enough interest for two games at once, unless the moderators temporarily want to close WWJ; but I doubt they deem it all that important.

Oh, I don't know, I've been considering it now for a while and may do a bit of restructuting with WW and WWJ. I don't know if I'm satisfied with the current 'list' of mods in waiting. It seems that mods are never ready when their turn is up and then there is the shuffle everytime. I'm thinking of redoing that and closing WWJ as it has become apparant that there is still a good amount of interest in the games but not enough to host to game simultaneously. I've been mulling this over and will probably continue to for a bit but a decision will be made sooner or later.
