So good to see you Fea! And my dream of getting the new and the old school together is getting real with at least you and Morm around - and Lommy could be counted as well like Kitanna if she gets in. Let's just see for more enrollments... and that is not to say the newbies should not get in with this either. On the contrary. It's looking good indeed and the more varied bunch of people we have the better!

And the forename Feanor goes well as you can be one of the children of the golden year of 1420! If Sam gave the name Elanor to his child why not others couldn't have given an elvish name to their children that year as well?

And would it be nice to play a 10-year old...

If you have disagreement with my interpretation please tell me.

Perhaps you should check with Kuruharan. I'm not sure how often he is around lately but he was always a great player. I'm sure SpM is busy as I haven't seen him in ages. Have you tried the Phantom?

Nogrod · 11-26-2007, 08:44 PM

I've sent a PM to Spm and tp (I know Spm has not been around of late and tp made it clear he had some requirements before he was ready to set himself into a game not talking about the RL hindrances - as he's one I do admire for his involvement which takes time). But your idea of Kuru is worth paying heed to. I'll send him a PM as well.

Anyhow this is looking quite promising and I think we have no shortage of players this time. Well, I hope so at least. Let's see who will take the bait.

After playing a balrog during a week of all-nighters, all should know that no amount of schoolwork will stop me from joining a WW game.

You can call me Brinn Burrows. I'm excited at the prospect of the old and new coming together. And even more pleased with the rapid sign-up rate.

Farael · 11-26-2007, 10:14 PM

MWHAHAHAHAHAHA

So I get invited to play Werewolf once again.... hmm.... and I believe the time is right.

Let the fun begin!

Oh yeah... when are we starting?

Interpret how you like, dear, though I haven't been ten in quite some time...

Though I wouldn't mind being a Belladonna for a time... The connotations amuse me, as does the alliteration.

satansaloser2005 · 11-26-2007, 11:13 PM

Heck, with this rate of sign up I'm in for sure. Besides I just can't stay away.

Ummmm Sally Shortbrush is the best name I can come up with right now. I'm exhausted even though I slept a bunch over the weekend. Hopefully I can cook up something better before the game starts (welcome to suggestions)

Anyway I'm off to do something more constructive than werewolf planning, alas. Can't wait for the game to start

Maybe I should be a proper Baggins then, distant relation to Frodo and Bilbo. Yes, I quite like the sound of Lommy Baggins.

A pity I can't probably have horrible grudges against Agan and Legate, because it's explicitly stated the grudges ended when Lobelia died...

A Little Green · 11-27-2007, 03:50 AM

Sign me in for my very first WW game.

What comes to the hobbit name, I think I'll go as Lilla Greenhand. (Swedish exam tomorrow...)

Thinlómien · 11-27-2007, 05:13 AM

Heja Sverige, En Liten Grön!

Now this looks like a proper pace of ww sign up...

Cheers!

Agreed! This is looking good indeed!

We have now 14 players in. This means that we could start pretty soon indeed.

I'll suggest that as the deadline comes within a five hours toDay we should start the game tomorrow at the deadline (9PM GMT if no one strongly calls for a change). That would mean that there is now effectively 29 hours until the start of the game. That would also mean that all those people who will sign themselves in within 24 hours + will get in the game.

I could start straight away with the Day1 but if you think it better to give the wolves some time to exchange a few PM's before it's okay as well (and thence we'd start with a Nightphase).

The question about gifteds: some of you have said they'd like to play without gifteds and others that we could take some / one of them out. What say you others?

To make it clear:

Deadline to signing in: we 28.11. 7PM GMT
(to allow me time to deal the roles and send them to everyone).

Starting of the game / Day1: thu 29.11. 9PM GMT
(with either the Day- or Nightphase, according to your view of it).

Nerwen · 11-27-2007, 05:24 AM

Okay, count me in: Nerwen Hornblower.

Aganzir · 11-27-2007, 08:18 AM

Legate: No problem. Choose whichever you wish. And if you liked me to be your mother, that would do as well.

It would be interesting to have a game without any gifteds, or at least fewer than usually. What about leaving Hunter out?
