Yeah, go ahead and ruin my little consolation.

If I remember correctly, what provoked my strong objection (to avoid further implied swearing) was you saying that they had been outside before but had moved inside now so as to better blend with the crowd - an argument from wolf psychology that's something quite different (in my mind at least) than just saying "they're outside, they must be wolves". I'll give you that it wasn't really a 'case' and you may not have expected a lot of people to buy it, but semper aliquid haeret, doesn't it?

I'll admit however that my memory of the game isn't exactly crystal clear - a reminder that Werewolf and alcohol don't go together that well, at least for me

Heh, no. And yes.

I was actually amazed to pull it through as I tend to be quite bad in live-werewolf because I have no poker-face whatsoever.

And you were up to something there quite nicely, even if I thought for the wrong reasons (the wolves always feel people suspecting them do it for the wrong reasons!

). But where I'd stay my stance even today (not anymore the knee-jerk version of a person who has stayed up too late...) is that I don't believe anyone should have bought that, as it was more like a "let's throw something in the air and see how people react" -thing (does someone follow the suspicion, does someone feel a too strong urge to defend her/himself etc.) - which is not actually very wolvish but more of the contrary...

BUt yes, I was for a period of time quite pressed with you getting too many of our names right - happily you didn't have enough to back them for real.

I learned this game in RL (or a derivitive of it) and have quite a good poker face. In RL, I'm one of those people the seer checks on first or the bad guys kill first.

*shrugs* Can't really speak to that after only one RL game with you, but I think you're selling yourself short on that - although you didn't quite match Squatter, who had the most impenetrable pokerface I've ever seen: looking dead drunk and can't-be-bothered, but still pretty sharp behind that facade - impressive newbie cub performance!

Or others

. But yeah, I see your point, you might have done the same as an ordo trying to stir the pot, as the saying goes.

*sigh*What happened to her habit of suspecting Daddy?

Definitely on the wolves' part.

Hahaha.

It was a good game even though I died so early. At least I had fun being the mod during the infamous night/day 4.

It also made me feel like playing werewolf again. I really hope I'll have the time for it some time in the autumn.

Inziladun · 08-26-2011, 02:03 PM

So, who's next in the modding queue, then?

Galadriel55 · 08-26-2011, 02:30 PM

I believe Shasta, though it seems he still didn't recover enough from Finlandmoot to post.

I was just waiting for someone to let me know it was my turn,

. I'll see how soon I can have my admin thread up.

Boromir88 · 11-14-2011, 05:58 PM

Anyone modding after Shasta?

I haven't done a game in over a year and starting to want to jump in again. I'm thinking just a normal one this time, instead of my Haunting on the East Road. However, I won't be able to get it started until after the Thanksgiving holiday since I'll be in another state with family. So, if anyone wants to jump in now, go for it, otherwise I can get the next game set up.

Kitanna · 11-14-2011, 06:56 PM

I'd like to mod again, but unless people are willing to start next week I can wait until after Boro mods (and no one else is in line for it).

Boromir88 · 11-22-2011, 03:23 PM

I hadn't seen anyone signed up after Shasta, so really Kit, Pitch, Nerwen, if any of you haven't modded a game yet and want to. Go for it. I was just thinking if there was a lack of mods I could get a simple game started relatively quickly.

But if there are no objections, I can get the Admin thread and sign ups started later tonight. I won't be able to start until the 28th at the earliest. It will be pretty much a standard game, although I do love the games with at least one cobbler, so expect a cobbler if the village count allows.

Inziladun · 11-22-2011, 03:38 PM

I think I could play, though if next Monday is Day 1, my participation may be light.

I haven't modded yet, but I'd like a little more time to put the eyebrows on everything, so you have my blessing to go ahead.
Also, would anybody volunteer to have my ideas so far bounced off them?

I'll be travelling on the weekend, so starting on Monday would be fine for me.

satansaloser2005 · 12-14-2011, 09:08 PM

All right, who's next?

Inziladun · 12-14-2011, 09:42 PM

The time crunch that I seem to have run upon the last few games has me wondering if I'll be in a position to play in the near future, never mind modding.

I do have an idea for a game though. Maybe by the time I get it fleshed out the situation will improve.

I believe the list was going to be something like...

Pitch
Nerwen
Kitanna
