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.

So, we decided I will be the one to mod now.

It's going to be a rather normal game, just one without gifteds. I'll try to get the admin thread up tonight.

Where does the DW game fall on the list (or is it not on the list?)
Mac and I were talking about co-modding a game sometime in late spring or early summer... it would be a somewhat experimental game, so it's probably best for us to follow a more traditional one. Just thought I'd throw that out there...

There had better be another game coming up soon, because it's seriously personal now, between me and the werewolves. I am not a happy camper.

Thanks for the game, Aganzir, and all the mod-ly effort you're putting into it. I'm sorry for getting you lynched on the first day last game; now I know how it feels!

I think there were quite a lot of voices that would like to see the DW game after the middle of April. Please correct if I'm wrong with it.

I'm not sure if it's on the list as it has been kind of a sidetrack-thing this far. And seriously we should come back discussing it before long. I have a busy week now but the next week I might be able to concentrate with it once more.

But at least to me it looks like it would be played then - and no one has kind of challenged me modding it. That could be discussed to be sure. I have just taken the initiative as I would like to see that game come true again - and admittedly I'd like to mod it as well & have tried to delve into the rules enough to have an idea about the game-mechanics. But as I said that's open I think.

Looking at the games right now, Agan's game will take a while and then there's Legate's game if I'm not wrong. After these there might be a gap to play one more game before the DW or then not - depending on how fast the games end and how fast they get enrolled.

Whatever the outcome I'm going to apply to your experimental game right now. I couldn't lose it!

Sorry. I had all kinds of funny names to call you but I'll just have to save them for another game.
