Right, now lets get down to detail. The game will begin on <b>Monday 2nd May, 19:00 GMT</b>. There will be <b>18</b> people playing in the game, <b>4</b> of which will be wolves. Just before the game starts, i will send each of you a pm with your role in it. Please make sure that you have space in your inbox.
Once i post, it will be night one. The wolves will get 24 hours to pick who to kill. To do this, i want you to pick someone (It can be any wolf, you do not have to tell me who) who will send a pm to me with your choice. You can change your choice by sending me another pm, but please do not do this unless you absolutely have to. You can send me the pm at any time, but please remember that i need to write a story around it and i need a bit of time to do so. If i have not gotten a pm an hour before the night is scheduled to end, i will choose a human at random to kill.
The rules to the game can be found <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=90852' target='_blank'>here</a>. All of you should take a look at the other TWG threads if you have time. Last game, i learnt a lot more from reading those than i did from reading the rules thread. Also, please hop on irc - #ns-twg on gamesurge.net
Good luck and have fun.

Just so I don't get any "Snidely is keeping low, he must be a wolf" type accusations too early... (:
I think you're shooting yourself in the foot with the "first wolf victim counts" rule. I know (erm, I think) this is how Freak ran his games, I also know that I allowed the wolves to change their minds before the night was over. This DOES mean that you risk that they change their minds just before the night is over, forcing you to suddenly rewrite parts of the story, but it also means that the wolves will generally commit sooner, knowing that they can change their decision if it becomes absolutely necessary. And the wolves don't often change their minds, by my experience. And when they do, they'll usually be polite enough to let you know right away, giving you ample time to rewrite the relevant sections.
All in all, I think that allowing the wolves to change their minds will generally mean that you know their victim sooner, and have more time to write the story. I know that if I am one of the wolves, I will be hesitant to commit until shortly before the deadline. After all, what if we decide to wolf player X, then later change our minds to player Y? If we have already told you that player X dies, we can no longer change our victim to be player Y instead. And so, we will wait until we are absolutely sure about our choice before telling you.
Of course, there is another possibility: The wolves tell you who they have their sights on, but as long as the name isn't <b>bolded,</b> it doesn't count. Only when you are sent a PM with the <b>bolded</b> name does it count. But then we are effectively back to my model: The wolves can change their decision at any time. In the end, I think all sides will be better off if you allow them to just change their minds. Setting a deadline one hour before the night ends sounds reasonable though.
Well and the second hope i have that i finally get a different role, besides from faithful human ^^
I'm rooting for a wolf win this round!
Not FreakEightyThree, that name sucks.
Well with the wolf kills, letting them change their minds before night ends I would suggest this. Set a time limit for night, no more than 24 hours. Don't ever end it earlier than you set it for or later than you set it for. This way players can't judge the night to be like "Oh night ended in only an hour! All the roles must be really active players!"

Umm...oh. So it's not really centered around writing. ****.

I suppose that depends on TheMuffinMan's story, eh?
What about clubarfish?
Eh, maybe you should change it now. We can't know that Omega has a role.
Seriously...no. If he's not a wolf, he'll be the first to go, because the wolves know he has a role.

Having a "role" includes being a plain human.

...and that is why I must check my pms more often...
I gotta turn that "auto-alert" popup back on, cause I just don't notice them otherwise....
