Have you ever played the game where everyone in the room has someone else's name taped to their foreheads, and must ask others questions in order to determine their 'identity'? What you're describing sounds like that.

Well we could change our passwords to the name of the person imitating us, then when the game is over we can just change our password back to the one we had before. So for example if SPM was imitating me, right before the game I would change my password to "Saucepan Man", then when he dies or the game ends I just change it back. This way we're not giving out anything personal and it's easier for the person imitating us to remember the password.

Personally I think it would be an amazing game.

I have to agree with Spm on this. If the game takes, let's say a week or two, some people might be tempted to do something else with the password than just play the game. You know: we all are nice people, but how come the world is full of computer viruses etc. It unfortunately takes only one to spoil the idea...

Someday, when "the kingdom has come", or something, I would like to try this - or some other procedure. F.ex. this game of "the wrong king", where everyone would intentionally play with a different style as they are used to. Or if we all ask for the Barrow-Wight for a ruling of exception to try just once these "blind"-identities (made totally from scratch) - clearly stating, that they will be for one game only (and thence deleted), and just to try it... But I also understand B-W's concern about it and wouldn't be pushing the matter now.

Silmaril Attention!!

This is for all previous Werewolf Junior mods and submods. Please let me know who you are ASAP (with the exception of Sleepy and Diamond18). This is extremely important as it has a big part in the game I will be modding. Yes, I know early, but it's better to be early than to be late. I'm planning something...unique for it. So please, either PM me or post it here. As long as I get the information before Samwise's game is over. So you have almost a month. Thank you for your co-operation.

An announcement, concerning the oncoming games.

Kath would like to have her TiG game to begin asap after lmp's, as her closing exams will haunt her after that. Therefore we will push the beginning of our TiGJ game a bit forwards.

So the next game should be Kath's TIG-game, and our game on TiGJ will start only when Kath's game is drawing near its end. That way we can have players to both games - and the timetable is much better for me and Lommy too: as our summer holidays start in the beginning of June. Then we will have all the time to come up with stories, deaths etc., and will be able to make the deadline around 10PM GMT, which seems to fit both Europeans and Americans.

You shall see, but I'm glad that you're anxious. I haven't quite worked out all the kinks to it yet, but I will and it's going to be fun. And thanks Valier.
