Boo!!

Sounds pretty cool Noggie.
Hmmmm I'd like to join but I'm not sure if I would ever be around at the deadline. Since my pc tells me I'm GMT -6, I think thats around 3pm for me, so most days I would be voting early. I'll give it some serious thought and I'll get back soon.

Count me in.

If the DL is 10PM GMT I wouldn't be around at the last two hours I think, at least on weekdays. It's not that bad, though, I'm hardly ever around at DL anyway.

Count me in. Again, I'll probably have to vote early a lot.

What she said.

Nog, I think I'm in, but I will be a bloody submarine most likely; just wanted to give fair warning.

You are most welcome Loslote!

And all you others. Nice to see you.

About the schedual then... As I said, I'd hope to have around twenty players but we can play with fifteen or something as well (we'll just take out a few roles). So basically, as soon as we have the required numbers we can start.

We already have 10-11 players so that should be no problem - even if it's sad to see so many prominent and fun players being forced to not join due to RL pressures (darn RL, couldn't someone do something about it?

).

I'd quess the game could start on Sunday perhaps? We'll see about that.

On the rules...

I had a terrible day today (I left from home to work at 7.30AM and got back at 9.30PM) so I'm not going to immerse myself with them this evening but will come back to them tomorrow.

Meanwhile I'd like to hear your ideas and questions about them. Do you see any problems, issues that would need balancing, things that would require clarification?

As promised already, some pretty down to earth rules will be posted into the first post of this thread as soon as they are final.

Thank you very much for the invite, Nogrod! But I am afraid I'm too busy right now with school to want to commit any time at all to a game. Annnd...it looks very interesting, but (not to beat a dead horse), it is quite complicated and I have come to dislike complicated games because it seems I most often end up on the side that the scales were balanced against, because of course the more complicated it is (and the more experimental it is), the harder to keep it a balanced fight.

Anyway, sorry, I'm gonna skip out...probably won't see me doing WW for a long while again. I only like it in small doses these days.

Good luck and have fun!

This game seems somewhat unbalanced. There are too many hunters, and too many protectors.

Perhaps a random bad guy, like a Bear? It just seems like right now, there aren't enough people that could actually be killed, and too many people that run a strong chance of killing a wolf without risking innocents. Of course, I've always believed that hunters were meant to be dangerous...

Am I correct in thinking that wolf can become Captain if persuasive enough?

Also, how could a BG or the Captain be killed if they can't be killed so long as they're all there? And are the BG's known to the village? (that is, does the captain tell the village who he's choosing?)

Of course, I always think like a wolf, so I'm a little biased in their favor.
