    Just putting this out there.

    Any interest in any former runners of the game wanting to give this another go? Close season is boring and it gives us something to do :)

    I'll happily participate but I couldn't possibly run one right now as I'm far too busy; I can't stress enough that running a game is pretty time consuming.

    Very werewolf-like behaviour if you ask me, along with pretending not to know how to spell werewolf....

    Modified, but it doesn't correct my mental relapse in spelling and date acknowledgement.

    So far we have:

    HappyHornet24
    Dom
    tonycotonstache
    Daft Row
    Otter
    Cassetti's Beard
    Cthulhu
    Miked2006
    Steve Leo Beleck
    With A Smile
    Burnsy
    wfcmoog
    steve harrow*
    Norwayhornet*
    wfcwarehouse**

    *possible as start date is within time frame
    **will take part if low numbers

    I'm reading up online how to run a game myself at present. It's a lot more complex than I initially thought, But once you know what the roles do it's a case of random assignment. Of course, any pre-runners who want to leap in please do.

  13. I really miss a good game of werewolf but my life with 2 young kids and a pretty full on job right now just cannot afford me the luxury of the time needed to dedicate anything nearly enough to make me partaking worthwhile.

    Send PMs to regular players, that helps get numbers up.

    Running a game isn't particularly hard but it can be time consuming. The hardest part is to get the balance right, good/evil numbers and special roles. In my first game in summer of 2018 I got it spot on but my second game was at the beginning of the first covid lockdown I got it wrong and it was all over in 3 days.
    As well as getting the balance right, you have to rely on full participation of the main roles. In my Road To Qatar game the alpha wolf didn't do a message or post on day 1; they were lynched for it.
    Also you don't have to apply a theme; I know I did in my last two, and Opti did his excellent shipwrecked theme two years ago. As an admin you could do the anonymous game, the global werewolf but I understand that's even harder to run.

    I'm.agraid I'm away on hols next 2 weeks and won't be able to give it the time it deserves , I'm afraid I must regretfully decline unless start date is after July 8th .

    Tuesday 16th of July start date fine with everyone who is interested?

    Reason being is I am dog sitting for my neighbour for the next three weeks, but I can still prep it all before hand. Just won't be as active to run it any sooner. As I said before if any former runners want to take the reigns then please do. If not then I'm happy running it myself. Have a theme in mind already.

    I'm in (once again tagging didn't work, was only that I happened to check this section on the off chance). Maybe you can't tag people in a list?

    May be worth putting a thread in The Hornets Nest to try and drum up some interest!

    I'll play - boost the numbers. I may die early on due to inactivity but I'll try not to.

    Skyla did PM me and I declined due to being busy at work, but if you’re struggling for numbers count me in - I’ll try my best to be active.

    Well if I do run it, you're definitely an evil player.

    I have been every time, you just weren't actually aware that I was active in the game.

  35. SkylaRose

    Yes - starts on the 16th. Dog sitting for another few days then I have time to set it all up. Also gives a few players who wanted to play middle of this month time to do so.
