I will exercise moderator privilege here and put myself on the team, and Nogrod and Skip of course can do the same. But that still leaves several slots open for any Werewolves of Downer origin. Shall we vote for team members perhaps, and establish that, say, three votes for one person places them on the team?
I'm really confused on this whole bit.

Ah, sorry Morm.

The TIG team should be made of Werewolves of course, being the Isle of Werewolves, but we need to vote on which Werewolves.

I've already placed Phantomwolf on the team, and Nogrod has a place for Nogwolf on the team. I'm not actually sure if Skip has ever been a Werewolf before, but as an author and mod for this tournament he can get round that. Gwathawolf has also been awarded a slot due to his victory here last year.

At this point there are four slots filled, and Wereomer has been nominated, as has Mithalwolf.

Well Fea was a wicked wolf as well as old Holbytlass (who I haven't seen in ages)

Fyi, the Phantasy thread will open later this week, and I'm hoping to get the tournament under way around the close of the month.

I truly second Mith into the Tol-In-Gaurhoth -team!

And morm should be made tha "brasilian" in the team - whichever team it will be in your simulations tp! The libero-midfielder or the wing-defender who makes sudden runs to the top of the offence...


Do any participants into the game wish to have themselves included? The line-up surely is for the phantom to decide but you could also nominate yourselves (or others you think are especially ww-tops and interested in football - or hating it!) and maybe give some ideas what would be the position you (or your nomination) would play?

If a host of people want to be the forwards I could have Nogwolf play the goalkeeper as well, or a midfielder, or a defender. Just saying it's not a big thing to me. My kicks from this will come from writing the narrations and looking after my phantasy-team...

But in a way, I would love to have my lupine-simulacra as the goalie... unless others insist.


Looking then at the werewolves from the BD...

How about Fea, Boro...? Or Mac, Rikae, Lommy, Aganzir, Volo, Brinn, Nerwen, Rune (we need "Rune's Redskins" -team for this game anyway!)...?

Could we get any one of them playing this game as well? They're all werewolf-legends already.

Or if we need to take in those not seen around for some time but still great WW-heroes: Spm, Roa, Valier, Di, Anguirel, Kuru... yeah I probably forgot a host of people but I'm off to sleep now.

And surely the Barrow-Wight started the werewolf here, and lmp came up with the concept of Dueling Wizards...

Continue the list... And argue for your - or someone else's - place in the T-I-G line-up!

It's true, I've never played a ww-game. Although I'd be honoured to play (my footballing self is a creative midfielder too lazy to backtrack) I might just give up my slot because of that.

I also second (or third) Mithawen. Bet she's glued to the telly every Saturday when Match Of the Day is on!

The competition thread is up! The groupings and rosters are all there. You may begin selecting your team on that thread. Feel free to come up with your own special name for your team.

And we still need to settle who is on the Tol-In-Gaurhoth team. We need some Barrow-Downs Werewolves!

Phantom, Nogrod, Skip, and Gwath are on the team. We need seven more!

At this time I will second Boro and Morm since they will be participating.

Holby, Mac, Rikae, Lommy, Aganzir, Volo, Brin, Nerwen, Rune, SPM, Kuru, Ang, Di, Valier, Roa, and LMP have all been nominated.

Morm, Eomer, Boro, and Fea have been seconded, and need one final vote to be on the team.

Is there any way I can participate in this? I think I may be asking a bit too late and I am not sure I fully understand this.

Yes, Hakon, you can own a Phantasy team and make predictions and follow the tournament along with everyone else.

The Phantasy thread is open. The rules are there, so you can select your team any time now.
