I'm fine with playing until I have to leave, but what then?

I'm still here.

And, much like Brinniel, count me in for any time.

Well unless you make some sort of pact with Aganzir that you pass your role to her, then I think the only solution for you will be to get killed or lynched in the first few days, which is not as improbable, however if we were to count on it, it's still nothing much.

But seriously, I think if you know you won't be in the game later, you can't experience the game fully because you know either way you're not here till the end.

It's bad so many people cannot play now, and I know many would like to, but can't. *scratches head* How much optimistic we are with getting at least 12 or 13 people until Monday? If we had really problems with getting enough people, I could delay the game and then could start on 10th July. Pretty drastic. But maybe some people who cannot play now could play then? Would be such a delay legit?

I surely don't want to delay the game to rob players of the fun (I'm sure everyone who signed up is eager to play), but if this fun were to be reduced near nil (with 10 or 11 players at maximum), maybe it will be better to start later and wait for the time when there will be more players who can fully dedicate to the game. Not for the game itself, but for their fun. I don't want anyone to play just because he has to become a number, or play by arriving hectically to the computer once per day to make a post.

That does not mean I'm packing it yet. But the game is now scheduled to start exactly three days from now.

Hmm....it's a tough choice. But I'd really hate to see this game delayed until July 10...that's a long ways away, and I've already been werewolfless for about a month (complete torture). And I fear we may lose more people if we wait that long.

I'm sure you've PMed potential players, right? Perhaps you should PM some members who have never played WW before; new players are always fun.

If we have to, I wouldn't mind playing with only 10 or 11 of us. As long as the roles are divided out fairly. (Three wolves would seem a bit much within such a small group, I think.)

Leggy, I suppose I should inform you...Macalaure and I won't be able to play after July 17th.

So I take it people are more for starting now even if we have few players? Hmm, maybe I'll find some people whom I haven't PMed this far. But if we don't find new people, the game will probably then be just fast, dramatic and deadly.

Combined with the roleplaying it may be even interesting...

In any case, if you want to start now, please send me these personalities of yours... otherwise you risk I'll portray you wrongly in the narration...

Dark-Eye

According to the planned schedule, the game is starting tomorrow, just something like 25 and half an hour from now.

Here is the last chance for you to object against the start of the game tomorrow.

Please bear in mind that we are on 10 people now. If I consider Gil-Galad as half, then 9 and half people. Unless you decide to stop the start of this game (you have one day to do that) or unless someone miraculously appears to join us, prepare for a fast and bloody game. (I'll possibly cut the number of the Wolves to two, then, to make it possible to win for the innocents).

Not many people have sent me their roles, so bear in mind that I may improvise on your behavior in the narrations (or find another solution). You can still do so, however.

The game roles will be sent to you right before the start of the game, in the last hour (so about 24 hours from now).

See you tomorrow.

EDIT: Maybe better: 11 people. Mith responded in a rather positive way to my invitation. Don't say you wouldn't've missed her.

Seeing such a small number is rather depressing, but what else can you do? The only solution I can think of to give everyone double roles. Haha...that'd be interesting (not to mention confusing).

Oops, I keep forgetting about my bio. I'll get to work on that right away, Legate.
