This page is about the term wolfling run. For the German Community aktion, see Wolfling Run 2003/2004/2005.

A strict wolfling run is where you hatch a group of norns in the plain Albia or on the Ark, with no additional COBs or agents, and leave them to grow up by themselves for a period of time without interacting with the game at all.

A relaxed wolfling run is where you set up the world before you begin the run, adding any COBs, agents, metarooms or worlds you like, but once the run begins you are no longer allowed to interfere with the game for the remainder of the run.

Did you know? Rowena considered the term "wolfling run" to belong to members of the US Early Adoption Program, or at least to those runs which held to specific guidelines - however, it has fallen into more general usage.

Denise Voskuil's FAQ about wolfling runs (also available at The Truth About Grendels) traces the use of "wolfling run" to a post on a.g.c. in May 1997, made by Aznin, a member of the US EAP.

The term is based on the Uplift novels by David Brin, and is never spelled wolfing.
