Well, I know I won't have time to mod right now. It's the exam week, he-he, someone's supposed to be studying.

But then again I don't think any game would start in a few days anyway... It takes some time to gather the players so it would be the next week the earliest, if not longer as I think it would be.

Don't shy away. You're good in this. I'm pretty confident in it.

My lazy brain thinks it requires more to plan the game & write narrations than what playing requires (which is what I'm going to do despite the exam week). I was rather saying that if someone else just can mod before me, I'm happy (besides, I was counting on either Farael or Legate or both to mod their games before me).

Well, I could second Agan - I counted with that someone (Farael, namely) is going to mod before me, and eventually, even someone of the later signed up people may switch with me to run a game on the 23rd-30th February when I definitely cannot mod. So here you have it.

The list

Legate
Valy
Menel


As Nogrod stated, one that has been a co-mod in a previous game will not count as a main mod...they are free to sign up. I will leave the list as is for now, if someone wishes to swap positions then please make it known here.

Agan's admin thread is now up. There is room for two more mods.

I think it's up to Legate and Agan to see this. Legate had a game in June 07 and Agan has never had a game of her own - but she has co-modded after Legate's game...

I'd say we give it a go with Agan but whatever you others think... or whether Agan is ready for it herself - or whether Legate need to be held back from his bursting ideas...

But anyway we need a new one...

Let me elaborate somewhat on this.

First, it's whatever way if Agan has her game ready, there is no problem for me to let her have her game now. If she is not ready, I have absolutely no problem with coming up with my game right now.

Now, if I were to do the game now - I said already that 23th-30th (from this Friday to the next) I am not here. That means if I were to run a game now, the game would start after I return (or later, depending how the sign-ups go etc.), that is, at the beginning of March. That's of course no problem: I would put up an Admin thread, provide all the information necessary, and then leave and let people to sign up meanwhile (you don't need my assistance for that, and all basic questions will be answered beforehand, and any other questions you'd have surely can wait seven days). We'd spend some time with sign-ups anyway, and personally as I know it the sign-ups may take even longer.

So this is it. But as you see, I'd prefer to settle this matter as soon as possible, so that if it's my turn, I put up the admin thread before I leave. I must say for me personally, it will be almost better to have the game now rather than later, as at least now I know I will have time and not many other duties (or I hope) and also, I wanted to have a little break from playing, and this way I'd have a break by just modding and then jump fresh into Agan's game. But in any case, I said I'm open to everything. If Aganzir wants to present us with her game, I will not restrain her. If she isn't ready yet, I'm here. So I think it's up to Agan now - let her speak and we'll know more

P.S. I also thought about the players' moods as one of the factors - like if people would like a more classic game, and one of us prepared a more complicated one, we could do the more "normal" one first and the other later etc. But that's just if there are any tendencies among the players, as eventually possible factor.

In case all else fails, I've definitely got enough time in the near future to run a game. There are a few times I may be gone for a weekend or so, but I'm mostly clear until mid-late March.

Concerning the timing of the games

Just a short notice.

This far it's been declared that both Rikae and Mac will be away from mid-March a "couple of weeks" (two that is?) on.

Also Brinn has said she can't join until May.

So how about we set ourselves a goal of having a Dueling Wizards Werewolf game in the beginning of May?

Before that we have apt time to make two or three games depending on how fast they get enrolled and how long they last.

Do other people have different preferences? With a DW game we'd need a pretty large village (last time it was 30 but I quess we could do with a slightly smaller one as well... but not with one under 20) and so it would be good to know when people are having restrictions in taking part.

But I quess this discussion could be continued in the DW suggestion -thread so as not to interfere with the discussion here about the more immediate games.

Well, Nogrod has PMed me to ask and see if I want to mod the next game... and I do. However, I'm going to need a co-mod as I'm back in University and I may not always be around at the deadline.

So, if anyone would like to co-mod with me, I'll start preparing everything asap.

Tehee! Double-post. Sorry folks.

I should also mention that I will be away from Feb. 16-26th. I should have Internet at the hotel, but you know how those things work. I believe there's still time for a small game (and I'm looking for 15 players tops) but I'd still need a co-mod to make sure that everything can be played out properly if the game takes longer and I'm found without Interweb.

What type of game would it be? Something wacky, or a more traditional werewolf game?

It would sure be the most safe if you'd have an actual co-mod named already when the game begins but if you could handle the first one or two days I quess you could count on someone of the first drop-outs to become your co-mod. I myself would like more to play as I've modded quite recently. But as I've been lynched three times in a row on Day1 so you could count on me if I'm going to continue this sad trend...

Have you tried to PM anyone about it Farael? I'd guess it's easier to find a co-mod that way...

I guess most of the people are looking forwards to a few more traditional games right now but in the end it's always the mod who decides these things...
