The list so far

Aganzir

Volo
Nogrod
Lommy
McCaber
Sally
Gwathagor
A Little Green
Shasta?
Volo?


We are getting closer to my (lowest) goal of 12 players. I'd like to clarify one thing though

There is no need to stay in character, nor there is need to be funny in all of your posts. As I said, the "awards" at the end of the game are mostly meaningless, other than a little recognition. However, I remember a time when Werewolf was fun to play throughout, not just fun to play in those last exciting moments when the game comes down the line. I'm doing my best to make it a little more fun Farael style.

Finally, it looks like you bunch of Europeans are going to rule over us North Americans with regards to the deadline. However North Americans do not despair! It is not the end of the world if a few of us are not around for the deadline.

Farael was frowning. "Hey, Misty where was the fun on your last post?"

-"If you must know, I am not your personal clown Master Farael"
-"But you said"
-I KNOW WHAT I SAID!
-"Hey, cool, how do you do that voice?" Said the old man
-"... Something tells me you are not long for this word" Answered the voice
-"What?"

A sigh was heard, and then the unthinkable happened. A giant, green hand materialized from the mist and smacked Farael on the back of the head.

Ah well some Dungeons and Dragons thingy, then? I'm used to the term Game Master (or is that actually a term at all...?) but I suppose they are the same. Sorry for the confusion.

I think there has been a misconception I'd like to clarify

Players are encouraged but by no means forced to post in character

If you want to play and not post IC for more than a (game) day, be my guest! Or my player for that matter

A tall, gaunt figure wandered through the mist. A barrow-wight? No! A sudden thinning of the fog revealed a pale, thin face that might have that of an Elf– if not for the pointy nose.

"Hello..." Nerwen called in despairing tones, "Is there anyone out there?"

A Little Green,

I use the term GM instead of DM. You can use it too and then we can fight those heretics!

Secondly, if school ends at 4.15 and the deadline is 5, why not spend jolly 45 minutes in the school library playing werewolf? That's what I'm going to do, at any rate...

I wonder if all three of us doing that will work...

I could come out from the teachers' workroom and join you guys in the school library... That would be a nice sight indeed!

I'm afraid this has indeed been the problem. I remember that there has been this discussion around before and there seems to be a lot of people who do not feel comfortable with RPG-style of Werewolf.

Let's throw a few invitations around everyone so we can get the game started before fex. Volo (or indeed Farael himself) need to quit

I'll send one to five... let's say Rikae, Mac, Valier, Naria and... Lalaith (yes it would be real fun to see her around for a long time).

Okay? You try some others...
