Go watch that Liam Neeson train movie. Based on the trailer it's basically a documentary about a game of WW following the Vig.

The name suggests its just Liam Neeson playing the part of a dart passenger and his struggles dealing with Irish rail to get to work on time.....no?

I'm very hopeful there will be a lot of "this is your stop!" (Kapow!) "I'm gonna punch your ticket" (smack!) "This train will be delayed due to Lievs on the line!" (Squish! Requires Liev Schrieber to play the baddy) but anyway, 15 people in a closed environment, 1 of them's evil, they have to figure out who via conversation. Then violently assault them. It's Werewolf The Movie.

Bad to the bone that one.

Don't forget folks I'm still taking sign ups for the live game next Sunday

Baggly

Would love to pal but timings of the live games just doesn't suit. I'd be out of action for an hour of it putting little ones to bed.

I thinks the office should provide us with a free advertising sticky.

I counted up just the game threads and there have been nearly 60,000 posts and just short of 600,000 views. That’s impressive.

Baggly

50k posts of which belong to necro.

Ah yeah I'm definitely gonna follow up with them. Just haven't got around to it yet. I'm guessing that

the guy who was in the cell with the captain is actually that Klingon guy who got usurped. He's undergone crazy surgeries to change his appearance

. Don't tell me! I just wanna say "I told you so" ... to myself

I told me so

Any idea how views measured? Any time anyone opens the thread would make sense. I would have thought there would be more views with that metric though

I dunno pj, I just used my abacus to post them up.

Arrrrgh, It seems it’s still full steam ahead on rolling out the responsive site. I use my phone to play werewolf and if my only choices are responsive or not play here, I might not be playing much more here

Unofficial app for me on phone.

It's not fab, but it's ten times better than that monstrosity of a responsive site

I’m getting old and don’t see the big hoo haa about apps. They take up storage on your phone when a mobile enabled website can do the same thing.

Necro

True, but I refuse to use the responsive site and I'm not a big fan of the touch one. App is best for me (I'm an app man though so )

Laptop then I stay on legacy site.

Baggly

App has its drawbacks in terms of search and quoting, but its brilliant for easily reading along in a game.

I particularly like how it brings you to the last post you viewed. So I can put the phone away for 10 (ok, ok, 1) minutes and come back being able to read through the recent posts in order.

Search be non existent and quoting is a chore... but it's grand for me anyways.

Right, I’ve switched to responsive. Necros post above - I can’t see both pters quote and the reply on my phone as it doesn’t fit. I had to scroll.

Where’s the multi quote too? I know it’s not in touch site but I thought the responsive was to be an improvement in touch?

Baggly

In the app, you multiquote by tapping on the text you want to quote

Baggly

I realise that is useless info for you SM.

Necro

I've never used the responsive site Strawbs so I really have no idea... Soz

Nah, I’m willing to try the app if need be.

Just a bit pissed off that the night before the feedback thread closes, beasty says it’s all systems go on the responsive site not giving much time to discuss it. I have followed that thread from the beginning and I don’t think (I could be wrong) that it was mentioned before.

For fairness I’ve switched to responsive and I can’t see any changes to what it was like 18 months ago.

Does the app still work for you guys? it stopped for me completely before the last game so I played on the touch site for that, I find the touch site frustrating, I like the tap and quote feature so you don't have to quote the whole post if you're only responding to one or two lines

It has it's moments but normally is grand for me anyways. Can be offline a good bit longer than normal site if there's maintenance etc.

And yep, it's why I prefer the app as I can pick and choose what I reply to. Never open the app if you're a dead player though... have accidentally thanked a few posts in the past and you can't unthank on the app :pac::pac:

FYI, app went down for a bit because of maintenance before the last game.

Also, there are 2 unofficial apps - one is great, one not so much.

I can’t be doing with this responsive site. When you click the boards logo, I don’t wanna see a full screen saying “welcome back strawberry milkshake”. Just show me the threads!

Gonna try the app now.

Which app tho?

Triceratops Ballet

I assume version 3.3?

I can’t find the app in the store. I searched boards, boards.ie and now yer talkin

Looks like the iOS one was removed from the store. People who already have it can use it, but don't think it can be downloaded. Sorry sm

Oh well. No wonder the numbers are falling.

Looks like you’re stuck with me for the foreseeable. Touch site not being, errrm, touched!

maybe we could have the 'hey, a ww game is starting soon' thread unlocked so we can add when there is a ww game starting soon. ( live game signup has been open since 18th.)

Yeah Necro what's the holdup?

it's in February

quickbeam

I'm less inclined to devote the time I should in to college work so I might just be up for the next game. Whether that's an incentive to kick off a poll or not, I'm not sure!!

But then again, my apathy towards college is tied with my general depression, so a game where being sensitive isn't good may not do me much good either so .... we'll see.

quickbeam

Who won the last game?

(As in, yesterday's live game?)

Mollyb60

Strawberry was drunk and Ardinn was asleep so the wolf (duffman) won. Can't get the staff these days.

Heh... just looking back I've modded (with assistance mostly) 5 out of the last 7 games since September.
And going again in March. After that I'm retired for a while from modding.

Digi and the lads taking the opposite promotional approach to Necro - waiting until we are all starving for a game.
