A small plea for WW games

Post by Patchfoot »

I'm a mostly lurker but I've recently discovered the werewolf games on here and have become completely mesmerized by them. I've stopped playing WoW or anything and I've just been reading Lars current game and the past threads obsessively. It's nutty just how much I'm enjoying reading through all the old ones. However, it's less entertaining if the thread title is updated with the ending. Please don't do that in the future game moderators :D

Cheers!

btw, does anyone keep an archive of these games? I've just been searching for topics by the usual game moderators.

Ask Chaosraven. The man has no life, but makes up for it by having massive OCD when it comes to forum games.

:oops:

:cry:

Actually Grund has a thread with results (and links IIRC) but I don't recall the title.

For the games I ran look for Fallen, Fallen 2, Lupus Prime, and Do Overlords Dream of Electronic Sheep.

All the games are still here in EBG, lost like Tears in the Rain.

"I don't know," Snufkin replied.
The door shut again and Snufkin entered his forest, with a hundred miles of silence ahead of him.

My small plea: Move them to "Multiplayer." The Formula 1 thread was whisked off to oblivion, I really don't get how these games are any different.
For motivation and so Jeff V can make me look bad:
2010 Totals: Biking: 65 miles Running: 393 miles
2009 Finals: Biking: 93 miles Running: 158 miles (I know it sucked, but I had a hernia most of the year)

Be careful with this link, it includes the rosters and outcomes for each game. If you're trying to not be spoiled, this link of links may not be where you want to go.

There are 3 active WW threads that I can see:
Lars
Light & Dark
Zombie

I doubt those 3 threads are the culprits in whisking anything off of page 1.

Grund didn't know about your zombie games. The list runs through December, and I included the ones I could find.

I also asked for people to let me know of any I had missed!

So then, fork over the linkage!

It's more of the point of it than the threads that I care about. The threads are a game. The F1 thread started with a discussion about F1, but once the game part came in, it was moved. Now no one will see the thread.

I think I'd rather see the F1 thread moved back than the WW threads moved away.

These threads never belonged in Multiplayer as far as my definition of the Multiplayer forum goes.

Yep, he was asking about real F1, which is what we were talking about.

:?:

The first line of his post is:
I've been playing http://batracer.com/ and my BMW Sauber has been consistently finishing near the bottom in every race, despite my best tuning efforts.
Following the link you find this:
Free Racing Manager Game

Features
Play as a driver competing to win the drivers championship
Work with your team mate to secure the constructors championship
Various carsets and race series, race in several series at once
Paint your car and helmet!
Setup your car for optimum speed
select driving style and race strategy
etc.

How is that not a game?

I see the Multi-Player forum as being a place to discuss games not to play them. Thats just me though.

Because he was asking if the team he picked was any good. The first few posts are all about which teams were good last year.

Granted, it quickly did turn into a game recruiting thread, and I am fine with it being moved, but the WW are games and belong in the same forum. That won't be done though, because we all know that no one reads the "Multiplayer" forum.

I have 2 points, lack of moderation, and 2 many useless forums. Call me Dirt.

Yeah I guess he did, I meant more in the way of bitching about stupid stuff that really doesn't matter.

Thanks for all the links guys. I'm hoping I can get into a game sometime after all my traveling stops later this month.

The multiplayer forum would seem like a bad fit for WW games and discussion about them. I'd say there are probably enough posts to warrant a new forum if WW talk needs to be moved out of EBG.
