Valier your junior list is spot on!!
However, the senior list should look somethin like this(should it not?): Ang allowed Mith his spot. No word from either of the two since my last update mod list, so I don't know if he and/or she are still going to mod? Morm was/is next(?)....another question mark. Durelin Oddwen(?) Foley Menel--expressed interest in post 3583 Fordim(?) As one can clearly see, there are a few question marks. I don't know if Morm(or someone else) should pm the questioned ones and find out if they are going to mod or if they should just be passed on and put to the bottom of the list. Like Val says, I hope this helps

I would agree that, given current interest levels, the WWJ thread should be retired, at least for the time being. Gil's game could stand as the WWJ farewell game.
As for the upcoming mod lists, I have always thought that those who have not modded yet should be given priority. Why not give those on the various lists an opportunity to post here, confirm that they are still interested in modding and indicate when they are likely to be able to mod - and then combine the two lists accordingly? |

To confirm what I said, I do indeed wish to mod a game in the future, and have a rather interesting idea about what to do with the roles. Thank you for putting me on the short list there.
Since I have modded once before, I'll step aside for those who never have, though. I'm not going to be able to give it much attention until a few days into January though, as some major Christmas vacations are coming up.

To confirm: I've not yet modded a game, and was planning to do mine next since pretty much everyone before me on the "older" list were too busy to mod games, and a number of them, I believe, have modded before.
And I'm able to mod whenever. Calculus can certainly take a backseat to...well, just about anything. If there are people who have been waiting longer on either the normal WW or Junior list to mod, they can step ahead of me if it's a good time for them now. But if I'm next, just give me the word and I can start sign up on this thread, or post my own sign up/"admin" thread. I think it would be nice for Gil's game to be the last WWJ game, or we could simply switch it to the normal WW XXVII game and then mine would simply be next. |

Folwren reporting, sir. I would like to mod a game. And I have never modded a game, either. Put me wherever is convenient. After New Year preferably.

If we do with the way it seems to go right now, then Gil will have his game in TiGJ. I do hope it will happen, but I fear it's not so certain as we have not heard too much from him...
Then Durelin is on the TiG. Then it would be my turn in TiGJ... If we combine the threads and play only one thread - which I think is reasonble - we should stick with this order. Although if Foley has not modded a game before, it might be justified to let her game go before mine for I have co-modded one game already (the werepenguins -game with Lommy). I have an idea to my game, though. It will be a "duel" of forces, including three wolves (planning together) vs. three rangers (acting individually). So making it harder for the wolves to pick a kill and just nerve-wrecking for the rangers. So kind of basic game with a twist and possibly more interesting with the narrations...

Okay, the idea for my game, whenever I can manage it, is to keep everyone in the dark as to what roles are involved. At most, only the numbers of wolves and villagers will be known. There could be Lovers, there could be no Seer, there could be two Cobblers, or whatever, but nobody knows what the roles are. I just thought that could be interesting. Of course, if a Gifted or whatever gets lynched or eaten, his/her role will be revealed to the village, but no opening statement about roles will be given; all clarification will be made via PM.

He did?  Oh... I didn't realise ..I was so far down the list at the start of the lull that I didn't expect to mod for about a year .......  so haven't been giving this thread much attention. I hope we will do our game sometime but thought I started thinking about it again after Fea's game I couldn't do it immediately and having modded twice I quite agree that first timers should take priority.....*need to consult with Ang and find out what he wants to do...*

Hm. Hearing people's ideas for games makes me wonder if people would be alright with having a normal WW game, with Seer, Ranger, Hunter, and Wolves have regular rolls, or if I should come up with something original? If I need to think of some strange, new, twisted way to play the game, let me know with some advance so I can think of something before my turn...

No strange, twisted new game is needed, Folwren; a regular game would be just fine.

Simple games can work very well - don't feel obliged to do anything peculiar .... remember if everyone is doing variations normal becomes original...

I'll post my sign up thread for TiG XXVII as soon as I get home from school this afternoon, if that's alright, to get things going.
Seeing as things are unfortunately falling apart for the TiG Junior game... |

Please drop me off the mod list. I have the game mostly ready, but as you see, my computer crashed and I have really little access to the internet. Being lazier than Lommy or not finding enough time with all the Christmas mess, I won't be visiting the library. I don't think modding a game in a library is a good idea anyway.
Sorry for disappearing, I'll see what I can do to return. |

I really don't know if I have reliable internet time right now...Folwren may go ahead on if she wishes.
I'll let y'all know about the next game.

Thanks, Oddwen... Are you absolutely sure? I have no problems with waiting... If you do want to still run the game, just interrupt me (before I actually start, that is.)
May I have at least until Tuesday to get things figured out and undercontrol and all that jolly stuff? Written up? That is, how quick do you want me to be ready, and what does Mormegil want? -- Folwren

I won't have a lot of time to dedicate to this for the next day or two, but if Oddwen is ready that is fine as it has been ages since she last modded. If however she is not Folwren should go as quickly as she can, assuming you get the necessary players that it.

I would like to join the next game, but I will be away in the period 2-7 so if it starts before the 7th I won't be able to join.

Mod list and guidelines
Here is the current list as I understand it.
Folwren Nogrod Menel Fordim Mormegil (let's see) I want to establish a rule that basically states that if your name is next on the list and when the game ends you have one week in which to prepare your game. You don't need to start in one week simply get things in order to start, you know state the rules and time frame. Let's be reasonable about time frame too, if you can't start for a month or two you will be bumped. I don't think we should have a list longer than 5 people at any given time. If, for example, Oddwen ends her game and Folwren is unable to fulfill her duties timely she would be bumped down below Mormegil and Norgrod would be up. There would be a bit of a grace period extended to Nogrod to get things in order as it came upon him suddenly. Once Nogrod has begun his name will be removed from the list and I will accept the next person interested. I don't find it condusive to have incredibly long lists. I would like to keep this simple. If anybody need clarification or sees major problems in this please let me know. Naria has been extremely helpful on these lists and I would ask for her further aid in maintaining this. Thanks.

Morm, I understand you want a short list, but I think the first should be an exception: it would be rather unfair to move people who have reserved their place in either of the lists ages ago (like Mac and Volo here) as it might be that they're not around/online when the next spot becomes vacant.

Thanks, Lommy, but I think it's fine with me to put my game off for a while, not in the writer mood right now, not that it means that I'll be in a writer mood later, possibly. I think it would be fair to put me in the end, as I jumped off the list anyway.

Of course not! I don't know what the future will be like and when would be a better time. I'm sure that both after Nogrod and Mormegil it'll be hard to mod a game that will be interesting, so... Well, actually put me in the place I was before, if you will. Thanks Naria...

Okay, this is how I did this. I went back and looked at the dates in which everyone signed up and Mac and Volo are right behind Nogrod and before Menel.
The list: Foley Nogrod Mac Volo Menel Fordim Morm Edit: Please no more sign ups until the list has been brought back down to five again. Thanks

Oddwen's game may be ending on Friday. If it does, my game has to start by the following friday, correct? Or do we just have to be discussing things by then?
I am going to be out of town and out of computer and internet reach next week from Tuesday through Thursday. I might be leaving Monday afternoon/evening, and I don't know when I'll be back Thursday. I may not be able to check this until Friday. That being said, it will get in the way of my preparation week. Will this get me bumped, Morm? I didn't know about this leaving home until two days ago. If you don't want to wait longer (like, until the following Monday or so), I can go after Nogrod. -- Folwren P.S. Perhaps I'm not absolutely clear on your rule - do you want one game to end and then a week later, another game to begin? Or do you want one game to end and then within the next week, planning for the next game to have begun?

As Foley has a preparation week ahead I think she should not be dropped from the list if she can't make it. Those are stuff that one can't foresee when reserving a modding. And I couldn't require for anyone to wholeheartedly delve into working on a WW-game in the middle of such an important week. Also, commenting on Foley's question, surely it's a bit tight schedual if we require the next one to actually start within one week as it takes some time to settle all things and get all the players in. What I understood from Morm's "rule" was the fact that he got annoyed by the last one that seemed not to get started as the mod was not to be seen or heard for a really long time - and I think he was not the only one...
I'm ready to wait for Foley in any case, but I have also quite a wealth of plans myself (I could basically start the sign-up tomorrow, if needs be, with some preliminary structures of the game explained), so if Foley thinks it a good idea and Morm agrees, I could shift places with her and run my game next while Foley could concentrate on her college-entrance and mod the next one. Up to you Foley and Morm.

Sorry for the confusion. What I hope/expect to see is that no more than one week after the last game we have some firm commitment on the part of the next mod, showing that they will be modding and giving a definite timeline to events. I understand that recruitment may take longer than planned but no I don't expect a game to begin within a week, in fact I would generally recommend against that as some people might need a break. Does this make more sense?
So, if I understand you correctly Folwren, I don't see any problem in you modding. I simply hope you have some sort of planning going on within a week. You could even start now and post a preliminary set of rules and your ideas for your game, if you would like.
