Well I really think that two games should be enough to accomodate everyone.

There's lots of room still available in Glirdan's game. Perhaps we should get away from this idea of calling it Werewolf Junior, as I suspect that it may be putting people off signing up.

It seems to me that either people who have played a few games in a row should volunteer to transfer to Glirdan's game (Werewolf 2.1? ) or those who couldn't sign up for Holby's should sign up for it.

I'm against setting any hard and fast rules, though.

I'm sorry, I would love to accomodate everyone but since I'm keeping this a simple game and there are now two games to play I'm going to stick with 'first come, first serve'. I think SpM is right, it should be renamed.

As it stands:

Mass lynching: 5 yeas, 2 nea

nonretractable votes: 7 yeas, 0 neas

with 8 people to hear from.

Maybe we should ignore all pretensions to 'higher' and 'lower', 'junior' and 'senior', and just ask Glirdan to call his game Werewolf XII. It looks like it'll be starting a fair bit later at least.

I am against mass lynchings and for non-retractable votes.

White-Hand We're allowed to retract our votes on this issue, right?

-- Mass lynchings

++ First person voted for is lynched in the event of a tied vote

I'm still in favour of non-retractable votes in the game.

Don't confuse the moderator.

To clarify: That means if Eomer and Saucepan both have 6 votes, then the first of those two to reach 6 votes would be lynched, as opposed to the one who gained the very first vote out of all 12. Hmm?

Actually, I was thinking it would be the first one voted for that Day since it involves a greater tactical element. But it could be either, just as long as we're sure which it is before the game starts.

It's your call Holby. I think both are far preferable to mass lynchings.

I'd also make a plea to all Werewolf players; basically what (I think it was) Encaitare said during her game. Can we keep all talk of RL (that stands for Real Life) to a minimum? If we just remember that we sometimes can't make it onto the internet as much as we'd like, we won't need all these "I was working late so I couldn't post"-type notices in the post.

And another thing: Make no apologies for bloodlust! Unless it's in-character. What can I say? Bloodlust is fun and good. Thanks!

The problem is, Eomer, people may post their absences on the Werewolf admin thread but then players don't read that thread and you get a whole bunch of "where the hell is xxxx? This absence is very suspicious" type comments.

So when the absentee does get back online, and has a genuine excuse, it's only natural that s/he should point this out. I don't really mind RL stuff in moderation.
The tone they take often helps get a "handle" on the person involved, I think, particularly if I haven't encountered them much before on the Downs.

Sorry, I'm not even playing in this game, but I'm just making remarks in general.
