WEREWOLF GMS HOSTING ORDER(LIST IN FIRST POST)

[Lathum]

i have tossed the matrix idea around but never really done much as far as development..i already have my next theme, plus the horizion still has the impending collaboration between myself and dubb for harry potter 2....although i havent seen dubb around at all lately.

hey ASS, if you wanted someone to do a Harry Potter game with you could have bought it up to your best friend. He may be interested in helping. :mad:

[saldana]

or, as an alternative, you could suck it....dubb asked me about doing the game together (where the hell is bulletsponge with a smiley performing oral sex when i need it)

[Blade6119]

you could have bought it up to your best friend

Wait, im not your best friend lathum? :(

[Lathum]

lmao

[Grammaticus]

I think the key to something like this is to have Q doing it for his amusement. Once you have that in place the doors open wider as to what is possible.

That works, although I like the first gen stuff best myself. You could go simple and have the bad guys be human turncoats within the federation. Or you could have someone like the Romulans/Klingons obtain an alteration device which allows them to alter their appearance to look human. Of course upon death they assume their natural form.

You could use some strange form of alien that assumes human form, like the episode with the alien that sucked all the salt out of humans, killing them. Then the alien assumed the dead persons form and mingles amongst the crew targeting another victim. As it turns out in that episode a guy was on the planet and had fallen in love with the creature as it assumed the form of his dead wife to please him. That guy helped the creature catch other humans to satisfy it's salt needs. When the enterprise arrived and CPT Kirk and crew landed they found the man and his supposed wife and the adventure began.

[Barkeep49]

I wasn't thinking about TOS as Next Gen is my favorite and was going to be the setting of the game I had begun to create. But you are right there are even ways to do a WW game in the TOS universe.

[Peregrine]

I guess I should get on the list to mod a game, whenever I get mine organized, I've worked out most of the roles already.

[saldana]

i think peregrine should be able to jump the line...not to diss anyone that is waiting, but you wouldnt make walt disney wait in line to ride space mountain...he would be able to go to the front whenever he wants a ride

[hoopsguy]

I'm fine with Peregrine going before me on the list.

[Blade6119]

Alan is out of town, so he cant reply about the top spot. Would everyone be ok slotting peregrine in at #2?

[Abe Sargent]

I don't know if Chubby has ever hosted, but I know Chief Rum never has. I'd hate to see someone get bumped above someone else who has never hosted and had been waiting quietly to do so.

[SnDvls]

put me on the list again I have an urge to host and I think I have a pretty good idea for a game.

[hoopsguy]

Hey, any chance of breaking the lists into "Simple Game" and "Complex Game" since it looks like we may run two games concurrently going forward?

[hoopsguy]

If this idea is implemented, please mark mine as "Complex Game".

[st.cronin]

Mine will be 'simple.'

[SnDvls]

simple here

[Abe Sargent]

Mine's more on the complex side but not too complex - not like my first game, hoops' marvel game, BKs spawn game or tangle's 40k game.

[hoopsguy]

God, I hope that my game is not as complex as spawn or as confusing as 40k :)

Seriously, I expect it will end up more in line with Anxiety's first game in terms of complexity. But, for now, I'm done threadjacking about it here.

[Blade6119]

Do people really think we have enough people to be running two games at once? Unless we start recruiting from BGG or the mafia forum, i dont think we have the #s for two games to run at once.

Unless you are suggesting cross participation, which is i think will hinder both games as one can be taxing enough.

[Abe Sargent]

Blade, may I make a recommendation? Switch Chief Rum with me and then hop peregrine above me so the list looks like this:

1. Alan T
2 Chubby
3 Chief Rum
4 Peregrine
5 Me

I don't mind dropping down two if it makes people happy.

We have until the 8th when alan gets back to decide, so ill wait for some input from chief/chubby before i make an official change. I think thats the fair route, though i like your idea and appreciate the sentiment behind it

[Grammaticus]

Is there a way to drop formatted text or a chart into a post?

Somebody brought up tracking experience in games. I did a quick roster of who has played in which games and have total number of games per player, but it looks like crap when you just drop it into a post.

[saldana]

gram, the best way to post that would probably be as a link to an html...if you want, i can put it on my website and post the link to it

very cool to have run with the idea....i just never had time to get to it.

Sure, I can send it to you for posting, just tell me where to send it or PM me.

Not sure how best to display, but it is an Excel file with the players listed by row on the left and the games listed by column. An cross referenced X shows the games in which that player participated. There is a total games column right by the names, showing your total number of games played. A mouse over on the game shows who GM'd it. On tab two, it shows the GMs and total number of games they ran.

It is updated through st.cronin's current newbie game one.

[Barkeep49]

So I'm stickying this thread, for obvious reasons.

~Barkeep49, Your Friendly Werewolf Forum Moderator

[Chief Rum]

My game will be fairly complex, but not like Spawn. Maybe a shade less complicated than Barkeep's To Crown A King, but with more roles and less "points".

It would definitely be best used as a complex game in a complex-simple pair.

[Grammaticus]

What is the deal with the next game? I think AlanT is up next, but I heard he was out until the 8th, is that true? If so, are we going to start with the next GM, bumping AlanT back one?

[saldana]

its already the 5th...i dont think we need to bump alan, since whoever is behind him would most likely not be ready before monday anyway.

[Grammaticus]

Sounds good

[Chubby]

WOOT I'm on deck!

[Barkeep49]

Go ahead and place me back on the list. I'm excited to actually, you know, run an original game.

[Blade6119]

Done, and with that were back at a full list of 10.

[Barkeep49]

Done, and with that were back at a full list of 10.
What's the reason for the cap? I mean I know that it'll be a while, but if someone else wants to host a game and they know the wait, what's the harm of letting them sign-up?

[saldana]

i think someone else brought this up, but what about having 2 lists...one new player friendly list and one masters degree required list

[Barkeep49]

i think someone else brought this up, but what about having 2 lists...one new player friendly list and one masters degree required list
Do we really think we have the players to run both? I mean I'm all for more werewolf, but we struggled to fill out this newbie game now. I was thinking an official vanilla game every 2-3 months along with those GMs who chose to run more vanilla games, instead focusing on the setting.

i can see this as an issue, and had another thought....we have talked about having two games running at the same time...what if as GM's, we capped our signups at say, 16 players...that would give out players the opportunity to choose from two diffferent games running concurrently, and would also lend to faster games...i think the faster games idea would be welcomed, as with large number of players, it becomes hard to maintain activity, especially when you hit weekends.

[Barkeep49]

Perhaps we should start a new thread for this as there might be some people who have some thoughts about this, but aren't reading this thread?

I can't speak for others, but some of the complex games might work better with more players. I know mine is designed for a larger group (which I was going to mention once my turn came around).

[Barkeep49]

Seems like we are in need of another player who'd be willing to run a small game. I haven't finished reading yet, but it seems like our small game is over, while our "main" game continues.

[st.cronin]

If people are willing to play in yet another game run by me, I will take the reins.

[Chubby]

I'll prob be posting signups for my game this weekend (just got online at the new house) since Alan's game is winding down

[Glengoyne]

I'm itching to get back in the saddle.

Oh...Probably the wrong metaphor. Tombstone on my mind.

[Abe Sargent]

I'd always be happy to run a small game on teh side but my major is coming up I believe.

[st.cronin]

I say we let Chubby start his game on Monday, and since it appears Alan's game will still be going, we wait for the following Monday to start up another small game. I'd be happy to do it, but since I ran a small game recently, if anybody else wants to go ahead, they should post.

[Neuqua]

Just wondering, is there going to be a more basic game being played next week?

[Alan T]

With Chubby's game up now, I'd like to be put back on the list at the end of the list. My next complex game is going to be the Horror Cruise. I pretty much have it in early alpha mode in planning, so should get on the list for a few months from now :)

[Alan T]

Just wondering, is there going to be a more basic game being played next week?

I think it sounds like next Monday one will start while Chubby's game is mid-game. A few people have basic games drawn up and I'm sure someone will decide who's gonna go :)

Just a bump. Still think having another list for smaller games is a good idea too.

Speaking of which, should look at someone to start one up for monday or tuesday perhaps.

[SnDvls]

I have an idea for a small 10 player game, it's pretty simple nothing hidden or complicated in it, but it might take as long as a big game.

[Alan T]

I have an idea for a small 10 player game, it's pretty simple nothing hidden or complicated in it, but it might take as long as a big game.

sounds good to me, i wonder though if there will be enough interest for a second game since fof2007 was released. Guess it doesn't hurt to try though!

[Barkeep49]

I have suggested to blade that we start a second list for "small game" hosting which he has agreed to add to the "main game" list. He brought up the idea about whether we should limit people about being on both lists and I thought it should be thrown out there for discussion. Do we see the need to limit people to one list?

[Barkeep49]

I agree with Alan that we should give it a go and see what happens with interest.

I don't see a reason to limit people to just one list unless it gets pretty full fast.

I know I mainly put time in my main games and mainly want to be on the schedule for those, but I am happy to run a smaller game and have a few of those ready for whenever.. but the smaller game isn't a huge deal to me.

Maybe allow people to be on both lists, but allow priority on the small list to people who aren't on the main list? Or who haven't hosted recently or whatever.

Either way its no big deal to me, I usually like most of the games most people run

[Barkeep49]

I think allowing people to be on both, but automatically bumping those who arent on the main list would be a good solution.

[SnDvls]

I agree with Alan that we should give it a go and see what happens with interest.

I guess I'll wait and see if anyone else wants to start a small game first..if no one does I'll put up a sign up this weekend for a Tues or Wed start (leaning towards Wed to give me just a little more time)

there are several people in front of me who might want to run one to be fair

[Barkeep49]

SnDvls I think you should go for it.

[Blade6119]

done and done

[Alan T]

Cool, thanks Blade!

Can I get added to the end of the game list now? I have a new one I want to get in the list for a few months down the road.

[Neuqua]

*cough*

Just wondering if a small game was going to be put up this week at all.

[Barkeep49]

I hope so. I think SnDvls was afraid to step on someone's toes which is why he didn't post something. Hopefully he'll get something up soon.

[Alan T]

Lathum posted something to see how much interest in a small game there would be with fof2007 out, but I dont think anyone replied.

[Barkeep49]

I think there's interest. Just seems to me that we don't have a system down, yet, like we do for bigger games and so no one quite knows what they're supposed to do. I'll go ahead and add my name to the small game list, though I'd be happy to let anyone else do a game. Just this way after we have what will be, I believe, SnDvl's game, we have some continuity. And if SnDvls doesn't post a game I can post a simple game (no really I can) Monday night.

[Alan T]

Sounds good to me. You can put me on the small game list too, but you can keep me bumped at the bottom. I have a small game ready whenever there isnt anyone else to host. But Its nothing special, so nothing I'm too worried about.

[SnDvls]

barkeep go ahead of me.

I'm planing an early b-day party for this weekend and can't give it GM duties this week.

[Alan T]

Looks like Anxiety is up for the next game, I guess next mondayish or so? He was a bit sick, so not sure if he's been checking in the last few days though.

[Lathum]

Go ahead and put me on the list for short game hosting...

[spleen1015]

Question for you guys...

Has anyone done a game on Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time world? It fits perfectly with the WW theme. I hope one of you guys has intimate knowledge of his WoT series and can put a good game together, if it hasn't been done already.

[st.cronin]

I am familiar with the series. I haven't picked a theme yet, but I could certainly use this.

[Abe Sargent]

I'd love to be put back in the rotation now that I'm doing a game.

[Blade6119]

done

[SnDvls]

if someone on the simple game side wants to jump ahead of me go ahead I don't want to run mine until the week after thanksgiving.

[LoneStarGirl]

I was about to ask why sndvls hasn't started a game, and barkeep wants to do one, but Barkeep hasn't even officially ended his last game. I dont think he has been on since the 27th

[SnDvls]

I think you might get a temporary stoppage with the holidays comming up. interest will drop a bit, kinda like it did just before school started for a lot of people.

[Alan T]

I think you might get a temporary stoppage with the holidays comming up. interest will drop a bit, kinda like it did just before school started for a lot of people.

Yeah, I actually will be gone this weekend in New York City, next Tues - Thurs in Toronto and the 17th - 28th in San Francisco myself. I know my playtime will be dropping tremendously and likely limited to when I can be in the hotel room after work to check in.

[SnDvls]

if / when Barkeep ends his game (I know it seems it's ended, but not officially) then realalistically a new game won't start until Tues/Wed at the earliest. It would have to end in a week before Thanksgiving to keep people there and not have to replace people or go on a break. It only makes sense to take a break unless someone wants to have a gap in their game.

[SnDvls]

dola - plus it gives us all a needed break too, which everyone says they need.

[hoopsguy]

But I'm taking my break now! :( Darn it ...

[LoneStarGirl]

yah, i am going home to houston for the week of thanksgiving, so as soon as LOTR is over i guess it would be a good idea to start a break until the monday after thanksgiving... Ill feed my addiction else where

[Chief Rum]

I am glad you guys have already been talking about this. I am up as the GM for the next big game, and if things were to progress like normal, I would be scheduled to start my game the week of Thanksgiving. That just seems like awful timing, and I was going to ask for a week's reprieve and start after the holiday weekend.

Perhaps we could run a small game that week for those who will be around.

[SnDvls]

I'm next up in the small game rotation. unless someone wants to do one now or next week then I won't be doing a small game until after the holiday too.

if a big game starts the monday after thanksgiving then I would not start mine until a week later from that starting point.

again if someone else wants to run a small game next week go ahead and do it.

[Chief Rum]

I think someone should run a small game starting next Monday at the latest. That should be plenty of time before the holiday and still get some people to play.

Unless I am forced to in some way by being next on the list, I won't start my game until after Thanksgiving weekend. I am pretty sure the holiday will kill any attempt at a good game.

[saldana]

if people on the small game list dont mind me cutting the line, i could start one on monday

[Alan T]

if people on the small game list dont mind me cutting the line, i could start one on monday

Dont mind you cutting in front of me. I'll likely be gone for a few weeks.

[saldana]

ok, with sndvls and alan saying they dont mind, and i talked to lathum on the phone and he doesnt either, i am gonna post for a small game starting monday.

[saldana]

I Cancelled the small game i had posted signups for for lack of interest....hopefully it was because of the holiday, or too many guys still in the LOTR game, and not because no one wanted to play a game from me.

can i be added to the small game list...i will revive the Dune game when it is my turn in the order.

[Barkeep49]

I think saldana should keep his spot. The LOTR is still large and so I think that accounts for it. It could also be that we simply don't have enough players to support two games.

[Alan T]

Sorry Sal, I would play but I am traveling a bunch the next 2 weeks. I probably wont be able to be in any WW game for a few weeks after the LotR game.

[SnDvls]

I think saldana should keep his spot. The LOTR is still large and so I think that accounts for it. It could also be that we simply don't have enough players to support two games.


well I plan on doing one after the holiday and probally a week after CR's game starts to pick up players that have been killed off and those that weren't in his game. he was able to jump us because we were worried about the upcoming holiday, as it seems that is probally the cause for such low numbers anyhow.

sndvls, i definitely want you to run your game next after the holiday is over...i will wait my turn...the only reason i was able to cut was because i actually DID get permission from every person behind me in line...i think its only right for me to go to the back

[Izulde]

I'd like to be put in for a Complex Game GM sign-up if possible. :) Ideally I'd like to do it in January, as I'm busy from now until the end of the year.

[Barkeep49]

I'd like to be put in for a Complex Game GM sign-up if possible. :) Ideally I'd like to do it in January, as I'm busy from now until the end of the year.
How about February? There is almost no chance that you'd get up before before the end of the year.

[Izulde]

How about February? There is almost no chance that you'd get up before before the end of the year.

Either January or February is fine :)

[Raiders Army]

I'll sign up for a simple game. I've always wanted to run one of these...

[path12]

I'll take the spot after Izulde for the complex list once Chief's game starts. I'll sign up to run a small game also.

[Blade6119]

updated, my standard PM sent to grammat

[Grammaticus]

Thanks for the reminder

[Barkeep49]

SnDvls are we looking at a Monday start for the next small game?

[Lathum]

SnDvls are we looking at a Monday start for the next small game?

i was wondering the same thing. I have a game ready in sndvls and alan are tied up.

[SnDvls]

I'll put up signups on Monday to start Wed.

[Lathum]

I'll put up signups on Monday to start Wed.

cool

[SnDvls]

I might get to it on Sunday too, just too much stuff going on today to be able to sit at the comp. and put it in.

[Blade6119]

Updated, sending out PMs now

[Peregrine]

Blade, I'm not sure if I'll end up doing my game or not, it's probably best to drop me off the list for now and give others a chance.

[Blade6119]

Your game isnt for about 2 months, but if you want to drop off now you can.

Id suggest holding the spot, and letting me know closer to when you want to host. I notify all hosts 2 weeks in advance of their host date, and see if they still want to do so.

If you want to drop regardless, by all means.

[SnDvls]

Alan - my small game is going to wrap up in the next day or two so you can get signups going.

[SnDvls]

dola - actually it will be over today at some point as there are only 3 "people" left.

[Alan T]

Sounds good Sndvls, thanks. I'll wait till yours is done to post signups. I plan on starting next Monday (roles out on Sunday most likely).

[SnDvls]

Sounds good Sndvls, thanks. I'll wait till yours is done to post signups. I plan on starting next Monday (roles out on Sunday most likely).

I'm in the process of doing the final write up now.

[SnDvls]

dola - be aware of where x-mas and new years are though as they will get in the way of signups and game playing

[path12]

Please sign me up in both lists. Thanks.

[Peregrine]

Alright Blade, keep me on the list for now and I'll make my final decision when the time comes, thanks.

[Raiders Army]

I'll sign up for a simple game. I've always wanted to run one of these...

So can you put me on the list of small games? Thanx.

[Lathum]

I'm up next for a small game but won't be able to begin until after the new year. I don't see this being a problem but if Alan's game ends early and you wanna skip me go for it.

[saldana]

blade, can you take me off the small list...i have too much going on at work right now to properly run a game. thanks

[Abe Sargent]

Just brainstomnred a cool idea for the simple game, and I'd love to be added to that list.

[Raiders Army]

So can you put me on the list of small games? Thanx.

Yeah, so for the third time can you put me on the list of small games?

[Raiders Army]

Yeah, so for the third time can you put me on the list of small games?

One more request to make sure you see it this time.

[Raiders Army]

One more request to make sure you see it this time.

Maybe this will get your attention.

[Raiders Army]

Maybe this will get your attention.

Or this.

[Raiders Army]

Or this.

Maybe this.

[Raiders Army]

How about this one?

[Raiders Army]

How about this one?

Get the point?

[Raiders Army]

Get the point?

Maybe not. I'll give it another few.

[Raiders Army]

Maybe not. I'll give it another few.

Ahhhhh...fuck it. Ya fucking elitists!

[Blade6119]

:(

[Lathum]

lol

[SnDvls]

so RA did you want to be in the small game rotation? :)

[path12]

RA, I feel your pain. Third request to get on both lists. Thanks!

[Blade6119]

gah, updated and placed in proper order of first request

[SnDvls]

Maybe requests to be added or taken off should be in color or bolded so they get noticed better...just a thought.

[Barkeep49]

The idea of bolding/coloring requests seems like a good one. Would it also be helpful if we started a new thread that would be cleaner?

[SnDvls]

probally

[LoneStarGirl]

I am excited about Mustang and Peregrines games. I have never played with them, so this should be knew and fun

[Barkeep49]

Is Hoops or cronin up now?

Any hopes of getting a small game going? Just seems like a LONG break we've had from WW and I'm itching to get back in the swing of things.

[Lathum]

I'm up next for the small game but I'll probably wait until the new game has some casualties.

[Blade6119]

Is Hoops or cronin up now?

Any hopes of getting a small game going? Just seems like a LONG break we've had from WW and I'm itching to get back in the swing of things.

Cronin, i just bumped hoops up already. I notified both in private of the order before doing so.

[Raiders Army]

I'll get mine going here in about a week. Between beginning hoops' game and going to LA this week, I'm busy. The theme for my small game will be FOFC.

[st.cronin]

I would like to be added to the list again, for a large game.

Also could you make a note that it will be a SIMULTANEOUS day/night game. I had intended my last game to run this way, but forgot.

[Blade6119]

done

[Lathum]

Please put me back on the small game list...

[Barkeep49]

I would like to be added to the list again, for a large game.

Also could you make a note that it will be a SIMULTANEOUS day/night game. I had intended my last game to run this way, but forgot.
Umm remind me... what is a simultaneous day/night game?

[Blade6119]

done lathum

[st.cronin]

Umm remind me... what is a simultaneous day/night game?

I don't know if it's been done. The idea is just that the deadline for day and night actions would be the same. So, the votes and night actions would be processed at the same time, although in game terms, they would still happen sequentially. Somebody gets lynched, then the night happens.

It's a convenience for the gm, that's all.

[Alan T]

I don't know if it's been done. The idea is just that the deadline for day and night actions would be the same. So, the votes and night actions would be processed at the same time, although in game terms, they would still happen sequentially. Somebody gets lynched, then the night happens.

It's a convenience for the gm, that's all.

Actually my next game is something a little similar too. I got the idea based on a few people mentioning they cant play because of Time zone issues plus Chief's issues with work. Mine isn't exactly simultaneous, but somehting along those lines.

Yeah, the main idea is to have a 24 hour game cycle to allow maximum participation.

[Barkeep49]

I repeat the idea of going to 24/12 for small games being a good idea.

[Blade6119]

Updated to on-deck hosts, sent a PM to mustang since hes up soon. Also removed someone from the large list per request, so everyone moved up 2 slots instead of the normal 1.

[Barkeep49]

Can I get on the short game list? Thanks.

[hoopsguy]

Please deposit me on the back of the big-game list again.

[Blade6119]

done and done

[SnDvls]

Blade go ahead and remove me from the list I won't be able to do a hosting much less a playing WW game much right now.

[Grammaticus]

Are we going to start a new game anytime soon?

[Blade6119]

Are we going to start a new game anytime soon?

Ask mustang, hes on the clock. I sent him a PM awhile ago, but have recieved no reply.

[Barkeep49]

I'll warn you now that if I'm up I have only begun to develop a game (as I was, last I looked like 5 on the list). When I moved up to 3 I started development, but little time has been devoted to it. If I'm not on the clock and someone below me is ready to go, I'd gladly let them jump me.

[Alan T]

I actually havent seen Mustang in a WW game in quite a while. Havent seen him browsing the forum either. Maybe send him a reminder PM. If he doesn't show up, Barkeep is your game close to being ready if you're up next?

[Alan T]

Woops, you read my mind as I was posting that.

I'm after you and I have a game all set to go, however no rush here. You're up before me so its all yours unless you need another 2 weeks. We can swap positions if you do. I dont mind giving Mustang a chance to respond first though. I just haven't seen him around in a while.

[Grammaticus]

Blade,

Did you send Mustang a reminder prior to today?

[Barkeep49]

Yeah I'd like to give Mustang the chance to run his game, but was reflecting on how he's been persona non-grata. I'll do some serious work on my game in the next couple of days, and should know by tomorrow night if we haven't heard from Mustang about whether I will be able to run my game or if you should jump ahead of me. Gut reaction says that you and I should flip. However, that's all dependent on our friend Mustang.

No worries, just let me know. :)

[Blade6119]

Blade,

Did you send Mustang a reminder prior to today?

2 weeks ago, so yes. I sent it out the same time i sent raiders' PM for the small game. I believe raiders can attest to the fact mustang was on the PM too.

[hoopsguy]

Mustang has been posting fairly regularly on the Off Topic forum over the last couple of weeks. Hopefully we hear back from him, one way or the other, shortly.

[Grammaticus]

I'd say bump it to the next person and let Mustang come back in after that game if he responds.

If not, can we set a time for how long we will wait?

[Alan T]

I saw mustang post a new thread in off topic forum today. I figured I would drop him a PM just to let him know he is up. I say we give him a day or so to give us a heads up.

I dont know if Barkeep will be ready if Mustang isn't, or if he will want me to go. If I end up going next, I likely would want to start signups by tommorrow night at the latest, with all the official rules posted for over the weekend.

I like to start games on Sunday evening to catch the Europe monday morning crowd personally.. so I guess if we haven't heard from Mustang by some point tommorrow morning, lets slide him down for Barkeep (or if he isn't ready I can go).

[Lathum]

Alan, sunday is superbowl sunday. May not be the best night to start. Just my $.02

[Alan T]

Alan, sunday is superbowl sunday. May not be the best night to start. Just my $.02

When I said start, I mainly meant what I usually do in roles going out sunday night in my leisure, and allow people to check in. The first night would end monday night. Sorry if I confused. :)


That said, Mustang sent me a PM, and said he meant to respond to Blade also. He's been pretty busy in the evenings lately with his wife's pregnancy so asked to be bumped down a few spots until he has more free time in a month or so.


So Barkeep's up now :)

[st.cronin]

So Barkeep's up now :)

woot

[Blade6119]

Updated, PMs sent to alan and path for on deck

[Barkeep49]

As an FYI, I think my game will run through at least next Friday, and probably a day or two after that. So path you can take that into consideration for when you'll be starting your small game.

[path12]

I'm thinking of posting the sign up thread around Saturday/Sunday and shoot for a Tues/Weds start. We should have enough free players by then, do you think?

Yes.

lets do it. The future Mrs. Lathum is gonna play this one.

[saldana]

lets do it. The future Mrs. Lathum is gonna play this one.

bwahahahahhahahahahhahahahah.....i have to play in this just so i can vote for her.

[hoopsguy]

She is already headed towards being the future Mrs. Lathum - isn't that punishment enough :)

[Lathum]

ouch. that cut me deep. :)

[Barkeep49]

My game will be concluding over the weekend, so if Alan wants to do a sign-up thread now so the game can start early next week I think that might make sense. Or perhaps it would make sense for Anxiety to do his small game as a filler to give Alan some time for baby? Whatever is decided, I think it makes sense to start thinking about the next game.

Anxiety and I already talked about it a bit. I'm pretty flexible and will be back at work next monday anyways (where I do most of my WW game stuff), so I'm starting up on Monday, and I believe Anxiety is starting the following week.

I'll probably put up a sign up thread some point today, and rules up over the weekend.

[Abe Sargent]

Since my small game has begun, I would like to officiall ybe added back to the small list please. Thanks!

[Blade6119]

done, new PMs sent out

[Barkeep49]

Note to Lathum: The next small game should be IX. We've not been the greatest about numbering the small games and just want that number out there before we repeat a numeral or otherwise cause confusion.

[SnDvls]

also note for both the next big and small game

Spring Break and NCAA tourney is coming up...last year these two things caused low turnout for WW games if I remember correctly

[Abe Sargent]

We already had our srping break two weeks ago.

[Lathum]

I plan on my game starting early next week if that is ok

[Izulde]

I'd like to be pushed further down the list I'm on because I don't intend on being online much during the day during the NCAA tournament.

[Blade6119]

We already had our srping break two weeks ago.

My spring break is next week

[Lathum]

SO do people think I should hold off on running my game?

[SnDvls]

SO do people think I should hold off on running my game?

you could always put up a sign up with start date and see if you get a response from players.

worst case is you delay it.

[st.cronin]

SO do people think I should hold off on running my game?

I'll be playing.

[Lathum]

I can't handle that kind of rejection

[Barkeep49]

Well I think doing a small game during the NCAA tournament makes far more sense than doing a complex game.

[Lathum]

OK, I'll post the sign ups at some point today and probably send roles out on monday sometime.

[Abe Sargent]

GL Lathum. I'll hold off my game.

[Barkeep49]

Please take me off the small game list. My game concept is not within the spirit of a small game.

[Blade6119]

Done bk...do any of you mind if i jump on the big game list?

[path12]

Done bk...do any of you mind if i jump on the big game list?


Not at all. And if anyone has something ready to go they can jump me on the big list. If not, that's cool, I just haven't fleshed out my concept completely but with the break for the NCAA's I can work on it then.

Also Blade, if you want to put me on the small list also I'd appreciate it.

[Barkeep49]

Blade I don't mind at all. I've been trying to put some distance between me and hoops on the sign-up and would love to get back in the rotation soon :).

[Blade6119]

want me to add you after me?

[Abe Sargent]

Can you hnop path over me on teh saml game list? I don;t want to end up running my big and small simultaneously.

[Blade6119]

Done, but now path is somewhat on double duty soon...we may have to keep manuevering this

[Lathum]

Done, but now path is somewhat on double duty soon...we may have to keep manuevering this

i have no problems going twice in a row if need be.

[Peregrine]

Well, I've gotten re-motivated for some Werewolf and have asked Blade to put me back on the list for a complex game, whenever that will come up. Luckily I have most of my game stuff written up from my previous time on the list.

[hoopsguy]

Blade, go ahead and slot Peregrine ahead of my game - it is coming up a little more quickly this time around than I anticipated and I would like to see what Peregrine has cooked up. Thanks.

[Abe Sargent]

In fact, if he wants to go right now, during the tournament, he can jump ahead of me. I'd prefer to wait until after the tourney to run my next game.

[Blade6119]

I have him slotted ahead of hoops and I...sorry anxiety, but i cant have him jump the others behind you.

[Lathum]

any word on a new game?

[Alan T]

Looks like Anxiety is up, and if he can't go Path is up in both games.

If alot of people don't want to go during the tourneys, I can probably put together a small/simple game that I had in the taperoom in under a day.

[path12]

I can do a small game, but I'm gonna have to drop down the list on the big game -- I've got a job opportunity that's come up that has cut into my time with interview prep, etc, plus my computer at home may have just crapped out.

[Lathum]

I can run another small game if everyone is busy, I actually have it already done and everything. I remember there was some discussion about me doing back to back games because of scheduling but it is no problem for me.

[ImTheCrew]

id play lathum

[Blade6119]

let me know what you guys want to do

[Lathum]

Path ?
Alan?

up to you guys, I don't wanna be a hog

[Alan T]

Path ?
Alan?

up to you guys, I don't wanna be a hog

Well Path's up next so if he wants to run it, its all his in my book. :)

I'm not on either hosting list for other reasons, but I have some games where I can jump in whenever needed/wanted. I don't care though if you wanna go in case Path decides not to. No biggie either way to me.

[Lathum]

OK, then up to path. Lemme know what you wanna do. I'm good either way

[Abe Sargent]

I'd like the start the next big game, mine, around Monday. I'd be fine if a small game started now.

[Lathum]

I sent Path a PM and if I don't hear back I'll go ahead tomorrow with the game. I think you will all like the theme. It will require 11 people exactly and be very very basic.

[Barkeep49]

If Anxiety is starting Monday I think we should hold off with a new small game.

[Lathum]

fine with me either way

[path12]

I told Lathum it's fine to go ahead of me. I'm a little time crunched at the moment, and it does look like my home computer is gonna be out of commission for the next week or so.

[Lathum]

So what should I do guys, wait?

[Blade6119]

Id wait...like most small games, start up near the conclusion of a large game(which anxiety is starting soon)

[Abe Sargent]

I'd like to be on the big list again.

[Blade6119]

done :)

[Barkeep49]

Go ahead and put me on the complex game list.

[Lathum]

I am gonna need to get skipped for the next small game. I'll be away for easter.

[LoneStarGirl]

izulde is going to run a game?

[Blade6119]

I havent heared otherwise...i sent him the GM message about a week ago, and have not heared back(which as per my PM means they still want to GM)

[path12]

I can get a small game worked up in a day or two in the interim if people are interested. I've got a couple scenarios that might be kinda fun and just need to figure terminology/roles out.

[st.cronin]

If Izulde doesn't show, I'm just about ready to go with my game. I'd like one vet who is not planning on playing to advise me on one or two things, and possibly help out during the game.

[path12]

So what's the feeling? Do we want a small game in the interim? I found a kind of experimental short game format that's a total rip-off but looks interesting......

[Tyrith]

I don't believe I would personally play in a small game right now, but going days without any activity on the WW doesn't seem like it's healthy for the WW community for the long run.

[Lathum]

I actually think a small break may not be a bad thing.

[st.cronin]

I sent a pm to Izulde, hopefully we'll have some clarification on who is up next soon.

[st.cronin]

pm from Izulde recieved, and I am up, thread coming

[Blade6119]

So whats the deal...does he want off the list, moved down a spot?

[st.cronin]

Not sure, I asked for clarification, if he pms me I'll let you know. If we don't hear from him I think he should probably be dropped from the list.

[Blade6119]

Edited to remove myself

[Barkeep49]

Blade has asked me to take over administering the list, which I will do while he takes his time off.

[hoopsguy]

I would like to slide down one spot on the list. I'm concerned that my turn may come up at a time that coincides with Tyrith's final exam. Since he has volunteered to help me again with running the Marvel sequel event, I should be nice enough to accomodate his scheduling needs.

Done. Sequels. How tacky :)

[hoopsguy]

There has never been a sequel that was as good as the first one - standard rule for movies. Will that truism translate to Werewolf at FOFC?

[Alan T]

Please go ahead and put me back up on both the small game and large game lists. I have a few games that I think everyone would enjoy.

[Barkeep49]

My next game is 80% likely to be treasure hunters. Considering that the mechanics weren't really explored the first time I think I've got a good shot of breaking that streak.

Cool. I really enjoyed the first one.

[KWhit]

Same here.

[tanglewood]

I would like to be added to both lists please. :)

My Uni year is now winding down and will be over in a few weeks time, so I'll be able to start playing and GM'ing again over the summer.

[Peregrine]

There was some confusion on my part about the order of the next game, after Rome. I had been telling some people that my game would be next, when really it looks like Anxiety will be next. Is there any problem with trying to run the games simultaneously, assuming we can get all the players we need?

You look next on the main list after Rome. Abe is down for one of the small games that will probably start up in the next few days while Rome is running. I seem to be runner-up on both which should be fine.

[Abe Sargent]

Awesome! Welcome back buddy!


-Anxiety

[Peregrine]

Well that will work, I figure the Rome game will take some time.

[Coffee Warlord]

I hereby sign up to run a Complex Game.

Fear the elementals.

[Barkeep49]

Really? Because that would mean you'd be running two games at once.
