I think it's more things that come from outside the world of werewolf game-play in general - references to real life, or to the supposed preferences of the mod, for instance - that are frowned upon. I'm not sure how to word this concisely enough for the glossary, though.

I was worried about that. Maybe I should give examples, and also say that it's ok to refer to a player's usual style?

Really Sally "A Dozen" (If not more) minimum?

come on now. 3 or 4 would be fine.

It's absolutely insulting to think someone can't handle modding a game withou double digit games.

I stand by what I say. Game styles vary, so a player may not know how a "standard" game works, or they may misunderstand certain rules.

Possibly not a dozen, but certainly more than three or four. You can apply for modship whenever you like, but in order to mod a game you need to have experience. Experience to me is not the time at which people stop giving you a newbie pass. It's the point at which you properly understand the game. I don't think new people are incapable, just new. We were all new at one point, and I wouldn't have been able to mod after just a few games either.

To add to this, twelve games isn't really all that bad. Returning mods have to wait six months minimum between modding, so a first time mod need only wait the same amount of time as a veteran (assuming about two games a month).

Actually don't first time mods get bumped up the list?

Yup. So I suppose I should amend my earlier point to suggest that you should wait twelve games to apply, since we bump new mods up. Good point, and thanks for the reminder!

[Morsul the Dark]

Actually why not amend it so the New mods have to wait in line I think That'd be easier than a game minimum... because you are right it does make the waiting period longer just by doing that.

Also, I need to find the discussion about this, but I suggest that the official DL times are :00. By this I mean that votes AT :00 count, but :01 do not. I think that's the more common practice, and making it a Werewolf-wide rule will cut down on confusion.

Sorry if I'm repeating what's already been decided, but I didn't want to forget to mention it.


ETA: Good, it was on Mac's list earlier on the page.
