Oh, indeed? Well tell everyone to flock on over here, then.

Actually, I think the first scenario would be awesome, too.

Sally's game is finished, Foley.

I must warn you, though, that there was a high drop-out rate– a lot of people still seem to be very busy right now.

EDIT:X'd with Zil and Folwren.

It's finished, as far as I know. Kuruharan chose a very good time to poke this thread.

Kuruharan · 05-16-2011, 09:22 PM

Not such a good time if I wanted to play as the next three weeks are pretty much no go for me.

Maybe after that, I'm not sure.

Not that it is saying much, it is *extremely* difficult for me to commit to any sort of time intensive activity at all and I don't see that changing any time...ever.

Lhunardawen · 05-16-2011, 10:10 PM

Why Foley, you never told me you're planning on modding a game - and the skipped one at that! I would love to play in your game, but I think I've had my fix (with my brain intermittently creaking in protest). Besides, I might be a bit busy for the next few weeks until school starts again.

Same, except for me it's the opposite -my school and exas end in a few weeks.

Folwren · 05-17-2011, 10:28 AM

Hm....well... I am thinking I'll scratch the current list of players and see who can sign up. The best thing for me would be if we could start this game next weekend (five days or so), but I am aware that that gives VERY little time of gathering people. If we don't start this weekend, I cannot begin until two weeks after this weekend, which would then be approximately 20 days from now.

What is the general thought on that?

-- Folwren

Nogrod · 05-17-2011, 12:33 PM

I'm sad to say I'm sharing the situation with Kuru, Lhuna and Galadriel... and being even worse as I can't play in about a month. Next two weeks will be just ridiculously busy and them I'm heading to Prague with Greenie to meet Lommy & Legate there (we'll have a road-trip through the Baltic states & Poland and will come back through Germany, Denmark & Sweden).

I would have loved to play in your game.

PS. Foley, I'm going to find time to write to SMH every now and then during the next weeks though (going to check your PM later today).

Inziladun · 05-17-2011, 12:40 PM

I know of no reason I couldn't play, either sooner or later.

Bom Tombadillo · 05-17-2011, 12:41 PM

I should have plenty of free time for the foreseeable future, so sign me up . . . again.

Edit: Ninja'd by a giant shield. Wha?

Mithalwen · 05-17-2011, 01:52 PM

I can still play with a quick start but I won't be around much actually on Saturday (of to a talk on gin in literature with accompanying cocktails!!! ) but I am planning on making in a day trip to Brighton rather than a weekend one

Kuruharan · 05-17-2011, 06:26 PM

I unfortunately won't be able to play if it starts this soon but I will definitely be lending my support to the game in spirit.

I do have the suggestion that you change the name of "The Night Watchman" to "The Night Watchdwarf" as the humanocentric designation is inappropriate for this setting.

Folwren · 05-17-2011, 06:54 PM

Right. That's a good suggestion. Once I get about to editing that first post, I'll do that.

At the risk of earning the wrath of a chat skwerl, I have to say that I like this very much.

(And of course the road-tripping thing.)

Loslote · 05-17-2011, 11:25 PM

I'll have time...pretty much for the forseeable future, so sign me up.

Rikae · 05-19-2011, 07:45 PM

Rikae finished her thesis, and Rikae, M.A. is looking for a <strike>job</strike> werewolf game. Sign me up? I have excellent werewolfademic credentials (see the grimoire thread for my CV)...

(Note to BW: we need a strikethrough tag around here!)

I second everything about this post, but especially the bit about the strike tag.

Shastanis Althreduin · 05-21-2011, 05:04 AM

I'll sign the strikethrough tag petition.

Oh, is this a WW sign up thread? Well, while I'm here...

Folwren · 05-21-2011, 09:31 AM

Okay, so I have just now gone and updated the new member's list. So far, I have:

Inzil
Bom
Mith
Lottie
Rikae
Sally
Shasta

We're half way filled. I am not certain when we're going to be able to start. I may have time today to PM other possible players.

-- Foley

Nerwen · 05-21-2011, 08:19 PM

Hey, Foley, I never actually dropped out, you know. So you can add me to the list.

Folwren · 05-21-2011, 10:21 PM

Awesome, Nerwen. I'm glad you're still in.

I went ahead and took everyone off before starting over, in case people had forgotten or something.

-- Folwren

Thinlómien · 05-22-2011, 12:16 PM

Please (re)count me in - it's been too long without werewolf.

ps. a post on the T-i-G thread to wake people up might not be a bad idea...

Bom Tombadillo · 05-28-2011, 11:48 AM

*bumpsies*

Nobody else? I hope this doesn't stall again . . .

Folwren · 05-28-2011, 01:08 PM

I hope it doesn't, too.

Thinlómien · 05-30-2011, 01:05 PM

Folwren, I think it would be time for some pm (or even fb) spam. Also, if the game is still going on the 18th I might have to drop out...

Inziladun · 05-31-2011, 06:32 PM

There's what, 9 signups? How many do we need?

Galadriel55 · 05-31-2011, 08:47 PM

I have my last exam on the 16th, so I would be able to start after that... Or maybe even a few days before, but with limited participation. So I guess you could sign me up under a question mark.

I think that the same thing is going on now as before - constantly someone has something in the way.

There is the Sweetheart, the Watchdwarf, the KD, and IIRC 3 Valley Forge members. That makes it 6 people with special roles, and there still have to be some ordos...

Obviously we could operate with more, but if anyone drops out....did anyone even read the last game?

I'll try to drum up some interest.

Folwren · 06-03-2011, 01:22 PM

I think we had talked about having a minimum of 15 players.

Lommy, I hope the game will be mostly done, if not completely, by the 18, but there definitely is no certainty of that.

-- Foley

Nogrod · 06-03-2011, 02:36 PM

I'm back from hospital and will not be making the road trip with Greenie as I'm not well enough for that... but I should be well enough for a round of WW!

So count me in Foley.

Always look at the bright side of life, eh?

Seriously though it's going to be awesome to play ww after such a long pause!

Folwren · 06-03-2011, 05:31 PM

I'm so glad to hear you're back, Nogrod!! Welcome back to the BD and to my game.

Shastanis Althreduin · 06-08-2011, 08:53 AM

I'm going to be out of the state for the next four days, starting tomorrow. I'll be back Sunday afternoon-ish.

Thinlómien · 06-09-2011, 04:11 AM

I'm still abroad and Greenie will be visiting me this month from the 18th to the 24th so if the game is going on at that time, I probably can't be in (unless possibly we both play but we'd be rather quiet for those few days)...

Kitanna · 06-14-2011, 09:10 AM

Is this still open to sign up?

Inziladun · 06-14-2011, 01:27 PM

Yes it is, Kitanna. Threats and arm-twisting to gain players are still ongoing.

Folwren · 06-14-2011, 06:58 PM

Okay, I have really, really bad news. The fact that this game never got off the ground is probably a good thing, because it is turning out that I couldn't keep up with it. I'm going to have to step back from modding for at least a month and a half. Camp and school is overwhelming at this point and internet is spotty where I am, at best. I will be available at the beginning of August. If people are not too mad at me, will I maybe be able to open this thread again for players towards the end of July?

I am really, really sorry. I could've pulled it off a while back when I first hoped to mod, but not now.

Sadness.

-- Folwren

Inziladun · 06-14-2011, 08:25 PM

I'm sorry, Foley. A bad set of circumstances seems to have stalked this game from the first.

I plan to be here for its revival later.
