"Oh, well, he's the Good Wizard." Then how does that explain the presence of this evil? An Evil Wizard could have been tampering with his magic. Seriously, that's ludicris. That's assuming that the GW knows all about the werewolves and is preparing for it, or just randomly bestows gifts of hunter or ranger or seer upon his people, and that's infeasible. Else, everyone would have some kind of power to combat this threat. The only explanation is that no one saw it coming, and thus the GW would not be spying on his own people unless he was some kind of pervert. Didn't anyone get the The Saucepan Man joke?
Loki, you must realize that this is not an actual RP. The back story is there for entertainment purposes only. It's a game, certainly, but not one where we must all be in character constantly. (In fact, too many in character posts could get you lynched.) The narration doesn't have to make sense. The back story doesn't have to make sense. The only thing that matters are the rules and the jobs we are given. If one is the GW, then they should behave as the rules dictate they should behave. If one is the EW, then one should behave as the rules dictate the they should behave. The narration, no matter how wonderfully done, is just dressing and is inherently unimportant as to how the game is played.

And I got the Saucepanman joke.

I say let the damn players do what they want. If they want to PM each other, fine. if they want to "reveal" their roles to each other, fine. If the GW/EW want to reveal the roles of the wolves or gifted to them, fine. It's their decision, it's their way of playing the game. If they want to screw themselves over by playing badly, it's, quite honestly, their own fault. If we have to suffer for it, it sucks, but that's just called being "fair."
Exactly. The rules as they are now state that the gifted automatically find out who the GW is, which some people are disagreeing with, including myself. The GW should be allowed to do as they wish, which includes choosing to not reveal themselves.
