Everybody. There is no Classic recruiting and 12 has been over for a long time now.

If noone wishes to Narrate Classic 13 I'd like to ask for your approval to do so myself.

Lady T would be narrating with me and reguardless of when the recruitment starts the game would not begin until Lady T's "Mummy's" game (Go sign up!) has finished or at least come very close to doing so.

I'm sure Lady T has a wealth of experience narrating and I have quite succefully (I feel) run a game recently. Between us we are in no danger of letting this game die.

Let us know how you're feeling and If you're comfertable with it, we'll procede to start recruitment.

Although this could happen, I have accounted for it. Restricted to co-nar. for how. I just don't want it to be super likely by having the wolves voting on it.

And I like to think of myself as only 'moderately' insane.
Let's see... I have completed 3 mafia games, in the middle of one. First mafia game I played a half-devil (wolf with the ability to finish as a citizen). Didn't go over very well. Next was Tardis. Although listed as ongoing, it has been finished. PM'd baner claim to V Junior who was asking for claims. When I got voided, I got voided mixed with baned, and got figured out pretty quick. I had some good and some bad ideas in Mafia 1931, but when a mason contacted me, thinking I was a citizen (I was alpha), I acciddentally BCC'd it to most of my team and her. She didn't notice it, but my team totally freaked out when they noticed. First day I came up with some rather strange ideas too, but being the game is ongoing, I would rather not say what.

Although even after my game starts, it will initially not seem that different, it will be far more insane then anything I think that has probably been attempted.

More significantly, you don't get to make your own posters. The posters are an element of the GitP WW communal lexicon. You can't insert yourself into that, it has to be done by others.
And, while we obviously can't comment on your undisclosed surprises, that ruleset doesn't look particularly insane.

Also, just responding to your PM here for simplicity's sake, you don't have to PM me to get something scheduled, asking in here is fine, and I've no idea how you got the impression that I don't play in games.

You should probably take a look at Funhouse before you say how crazy your game will be.

Funhouse wasn't really insane in the conventional sense. For more conventional insanity, I think Ultimate Kaos or Llama Llama Duck would be the obvious games to look at.

Oh, and since I forgot to mention before: I think it would be fine for Qwaz and Lady Tialait to run the next Classic. Though since you're waiting until LT's current game is close to ending, if someone else decides they want to run it sooner, they have that option.

I should really see about redoing the OP...

Great, do you consider yourself an expert with solving balance issues? I will definately need one for one of my ideas (I have since come up with backup plans, each IMO deserving of the name.

No problem. We just need one more conarrator.

Also, Of Wolf and Win (from Of Wolf and Man by Metallica) [I would like some opinions first. Blunt opinions are preferable]:

OK, I just realized that maybe this is a little wierd to post as I am doing a game involving these people, but oh well. Any ideas for what words/names would be better?

Sounds good as really the sooner the better. How about this. If noone has come forward to lay claim by the time Lady T's Mummy game starts. We'll talk again and get a recruitment thread up. Mummy's starts around 21st according to the scehdule so that's a good week and a half for other volunteers to step forward.

Okay... I guess I'm going to give up. No more WW games, I'll finish these two I'm in and I'm out.

I have no idea how Happy can find energy to play, I guess it can be a form of entertainment in a bind, but recently, I had neither. Sorry. Maybe in about two months I'll feel good enough to log in again.

I know what you mean. And I tried PMing one of the other players who enjoyed Assassins 1-3, only to find he'd been Banned. What a bummer. And he was a big factor in the original story line.

Not really fussed. I just kind of feel like some classic sooner than later. We'll see what happens as Mummy's running then.
