I'd love to mod a game, but I probably can't do it before mid-August (since I have no chances of modding one from mid-July - when I think my game would be scheduled to begin at earliest - to mid-August)... So could I be added to the bottom and people after me in the list could mod before me, if the fifth game from now is to be before that (like I'd think)...? Or should I just sign up later?

It is difficult to gauge how long each game will take and what the wait time is in between games. If sign up is slow obviously it could delay the game significantly. I'm hesitant to get the list too long also. I would consider 4 people to be a 3 to 4 month period so it may work out just fine and I can't remember for certain but I think I specified a list max of 3 or 5 so go ahead and add Lommy but no more after her until we clear one more off.

Looks like I am next on the modding list. I have a game plan worked out but, before starting up recruitment, there are a few points to mention:

1. Mormegil was, I think, next in line before Rikae but was unable to mod at that time. I'm happy to make way for you, morm, if you are ready to mod now.

2. My proposed game is similar to Rikae's, in that the roles will be unknown (though not, in themselves, necessarily similar to the ones that she had) and will be a quite big game (20 players+). If people would prefer something a bit different, then I am happy to make way for a simpler game and mod my game after that.

3. I am away from 15-18 June and will be very busy over the weekend of 23 June (my 40th birthday party ). So, if the game was still going at that time, there would have to be a break (unless there are any volunteers to co-mod).

Subject to all that, I can start recruiting right away.

No go ahead. I've punished myself because I have removed myself now twice and I think that if that is done I would make it so that that person could not mod a game for a while and I hold myself to the same rules.

I'm not sure how much time I could commit but I may sign up for your game Saucie.

I have officially graduated from high school so all that crap that sadly kept me from Rikae's game (I am sooooo, sooo sorry...I feel so bad about that, and I am quite p.o.-ed that I missed it, particularly the chance to play with fire and werewolves...) is out of the way.

So sign me up, please, and if it looks like anything else is going to get in my way before the game starts, I promise I will back out rather than leave everyone hanging. I am so sorry for that...

I would like to play too, but I'm afraid I have little chance to be online during 15-17 June (it's my friend's birthday and we're going to her summer cottage), and on 20 June I'll travel to Hungary.
But if the game starts early enough so that I won't miss too many days, I'd be happy to play.

I hope it is undercover.... I happen to know that it is always a good chance of vast amounts of rain on 23rd of June... my 21st for example was the wettest June day since records began. Other birthdays have been spent being resolutely British at Wimbledon hoping to goodness that the rain will stop before Cliff Richard starts to sing... I am not being entirely flippant in my profile....

I have spoken to Naria and while there is still a great deal of interest in modding I think it wise to limit the number of games modded by an individual. I realize that some have modded more than one and in those cases I don't see a problem as the time frame has been significant. However, I think at least 6 months should go by before somebody mods again, unless of course there aren't sufficient mods but I don't see that as a problem. Please take that into consideration when signing up to be a mod.

Ok. In that case I guess anybody willing to mod before me, can do that. Lucky you, who do!

Well, we are having a Marquee. But I am rather hoping that June's weather will make up for the current poor showing.
