Seeing that there are two lists, but not seeing much difference in Glirdan's and Sleepy Ranger's games that I have played. What is the difference between WW and WWJ? They did seem to have more difference earlier, but now the popularity of WW seems to have been going down and both games have the same amount of players.

What if everyone who wants to mod a game finds the latests modding list from the thread and just reposts it with his/her name in the end? And the same goes for all the changes?

The current system seems to cause confusion and people ending up with different lists.

That sounds like a really good idea Lommy!

My initial understanding was that ww 'senior' was supposed to be just that, a senior game, where more experienced players would get to play in, if the mod wanted, a more complex game with the ability to have more players join. The wwj game were supposed to be for the less experienced or people who didn't want to get involved in a complex game. I think having it this way gives newbies a chance to play in a game with a little less tension and also gives them a chance to 'get their feet wet' with a smaller group(no more than 15 players, preferably less). I don't really know what happened to this 'system' of werewolf.

Naria you are correct in your response however, there is one key point you didn't add and that is that WWJ is mainly there as an overflow. When WW games are too crowded we can have a second WWJ game playing concurrently.

I feel with the popularity declining a bit we probably should slow our games down on the Junior thread and stick to the WW thread for any games.

If we do so, I think we should make it so that people that have never played before can "push" expirienced players out. . . . I remember when I wanted to join the first time, you really had to be fast, as the games were full in no time.

Just popping in to ask who is modding the next game?

Naria posted this on October 5:

Gurthang was next, but he doesn't know now(?)
Ang is allowing Mith to do hers in his place...she would be next then?
Fea(Elempi is allowing her to take his spot)
Morm
Durelin
Diamond
Oddwen
Foley

Did Gurthang and Anguirel/Mith ever do their games? But it doesn't seem like we're concerned with that. Fea is doing her game next. Is Morm around and wanting to take his, or will he grant Durelin her request and let her go next?

I think that should fix the problems for now, if those questions are answered.

Correction: I'm running my game when my players tell me the best time is. I've currently got a request for Thanksgiving break and a few "any time works" responses. It's a bit open still. I haven't heard from everyone.

I disagree. I think the current system is just fine; no there can be a planning discussion for the next game in the other thread and current game admin in the other thread. Besides, I don't see two "branches" being a problem, I'd rather think that if we shut down the junior ones, the games would get crowded. All who wish should be able to play.

Kath · 10-07-2006, 07:31 AM

I agree with Lommy. Plus if we tried to merge the threads again now we would have an enormous list of mods. There are at least 6 on this thread and 6 on WWJ who want to mod next and trying to get all that in order would cause more problems than its worth. There doesn't seem to be major problem with the current system now, and it may be wise to keep it in case the desire to play does pick up again later in the year.

Speaking of mods though, who is next?

Anguirel · 10-07-2006, 08:43 AM

Well, in theory Gurthang. But he seems doubtful.

Which means it's me. I could start my planned game but I'm not sure it would have my full attention at the moment, as I'm still getting a Shire RP prepared and I'm also trying to get into quite a good university...

I suggested that Mith take my slot sometime back. She's been planning a game with me as her co-mod for some time. So if she feels up to launching it that would be splendid.

If Mith too feels busy though, then it's LMP's turn.
