If I'm understanding this correctly, the only difference between what I'm asking for (revealing roles at time of death) and what you are suggesting is that when a gifted is killed we won't know the role.

If a wolf is killed, you don't have to tell us "So-and-so was a wolf" because the tally will suddenly have one less wolf. And there are no multiple lynchings, so only one can die at a time during the day. At night, no wolves will be killed by wolves- the EW would see to that. And Wizards- well, they can't die without us knowing.

The only time it will make a difference is when the Seer, Ranger, or Hunter dies, instead of lmp telling us "you lost your Seer", he will simply say Gifteds=2 in the tally.

(the exception is when the Hunter is killed and he/she kills a wolf- in that case we won't know who is who and that is the primary source of confusion I can see resulting from a tally only system, but a Hunter killing a wolf doesn't happen every day of course)

All in all, I suppose a tally only system would not pose a huge concern during the Wizard phase, because the GW will just reassign that role with the nightly scry, and before the GW dies, he/she can tell the village which gifted was lost and when, if he/she feels like that information is somehow useful.

I suppose I really don't care during the Wizard phase. But, I certainly want roles revealed upon death as usual once we enter the standard Werewolf phase.

Eomer- nice to have you along for the ride!
