A little announcement beforehand: Yes, I was thinking about a simple, classic game. Probably something like three wolves, one seer, one ranger, one hunter and nothing more (and even this can be changed depending on the number of people who sign up etc.).

However...

...however, there is one other thing. I was thinking about a simple game, that's true, but at the same time about an in-role game. Like the one I did when I modded for the first time (WWXXXV: Werewolves among the Wolf-Men). That is, with compulsory roleplaying. I don't know whether it would not scare people off. I have some concept, though, and I believe it may be more interesting if it is with the in-role posting. I know WWXXXV was quite appreciated, however if there is strong wave of protest against in-role game, I may reconsider. So, as the matter was brought up here, I'm giving you this to think about before my game is about to start.

Well it would put me off, the idea is what kept me out of Farael's game, but I'm happy to wait for the next game if you want to put it in.

That's just what I was afraid of. Well, if the queue of the players who want to play, but won't want to play if roleplaying were compulsury, I may as well drop the idea. It's not necessary for the game; only I think it may be enjoyable combined with the setting I prepared - and I believe there will be such players who would prefer roleplaying - but it remains to be seen. I'll probably progress based on the people's stances. This is why I asked that in forward. In any case, you can wait till I put up the admin thread (that is, after Aganzir's game finishes), and you can then choose when you have the complex picture.

Legate, I'm quite keen on the idea of compulsory roleplaying.

I'd be willing to try something new (i.e. compulsory roleplaying).

I'd be up for it too. It'd be fun to actually be FORCED to stay in character. Although I'm up for it either way.

I agree with sally, I'd enjoy compulsory roleplaying since if it's not compulsory, I always drop it after a couple of posts even though I like roleplaying in ww. But then you just must prepare yourselves for a very frustrated Lommy because I tend to get annoyed when people hide behind their roles....

Well, I can say it now. I had to kill you, kiddo. I mean, what kind of seer would I be if I let you off the hook? You're still a good player though; I just got lucky.


*waits impatiently for next game*

And dang it, I want to be a gifted again. That was a blast!

Well, I don't really have a good concept lined up yet, but I'll think of something by the end of today. You won't have to wait too long for the admin thread.

After Menel's game we'll be then having the return of the dueling wizards werewolf! I'll try to cross-examine all the requests concerning the dates when people have expressed their ability to play and will come forwards with some more detailed suggestions sometime later.

But now it's time for Menel to take the reins. This was just a pre-remainder of what is to come...

It would probably be wise if your game wasn't a hyper-experimentative one as the dueling wizards right after your game will be one that really makes it's own logic...

Oh my! Rikae and Mac's game next? I hope I'll have time to join it.

But yes, I would like to jump on list. Inspired by guess what: I'm planning on modding something under a title like "Dueling Mods". Not too ambitious for a change, quite basic, no special roles (well, except for the two dueling mods that is). A mix of old school TiG with some delightful avant-garde randomness, a perfect soup to confuse. A bit like Die Form actually.

Be prepared for Dueling Wizards Werewolf II

It will start after Menel's game as soon as we have enough players and that means quite a lot. We'd need about twenty players for that.

I will be bringing forwards an admin thread to iron out the rules and start the discussion soon enough.

I will be away from home between May 17th and 25th but I hope we can get things rolling before that and can start asp after that.

I'll give you a sneak preview of the game's athmosphere asp as well with posting the thread starter.

So gear up my friends!

My pouty face, let me show you it.

Finals are next week, as I mentioned before, and after that, alas, no consistent internet for Miss Sally. Thus I will not be able to sign up.

That also means that I command, that's right COMMAND, all of you to enjoy the game, or you will feel the wrath of the duck. Well, not really, since she's leaving for the summer too and I won't see her for a few months after that. But you get the point. Enjoy the game; it sounds like it'll be a lot of fun!

~~Sally~~

Just noticed this... If you and Mac would like to follow a more traditional game, perhaps Brinniel or I could jump ahead of you? That is, if Brinn wants to do a more traditional one. I'm torn between traditional and insanity, so doesn't matter to me.

Of course, I'd really love to have more time to plan myself...haven't even come up with a good theme idea yet...and I also might be away a couple days around when I'd have to start the game/in the middle of the game...so I'm just putting this forward for your sake (and Brinn's if she wants to dive in there ).

Sure, that's fine, we were just wondering how we could delay our game, since we aren't prepared yet anyway.

Thanks for bringing that up. I was worried my post would get buried...

If you guys want me to jump ahead on the modding list, I'm perfectly willing to do so. I already have an idea in mind and my game would be a normal one: three wolves, three gifteds, and one cobbler.

A couple of things: I have no idea when Noggie's game will end, so I don't know when mine would begin. Right now I have lots of time on my hands, but that could change as I am currently hunting for a summer job (and having lots of trouble finding one, mind you). If I do have a job while the game is running, I'd probably need a co-mod as I probably wouldn't be able to make every deadline. Also, while I will be home the last weekend of June, I will be very busy...so depending on when I start the game, I can either avoid running it during that weekend or simply have a co-mod temporarily help me out. Anyways, I don't really need to worry about that until the current game is over, but I thought I'd just mention it now.

With that said, I shouldn't have any other problems...and anyways I would rather mod sooner than later...once August hits, my freetime will most likely be cut short(er).
