Just some preliminary revelations & questions...

What I can reveal already is that I would still be going for more than one Ranger. I think it's high time to see a real battle where the goodies have an actual chance to really fight back and where the baddies need to consider their kills with some more thought. And to balance this, I think the wolves should be given two kills a Night as long as there are three of them... (the numbers will of course depend on the number of players) But it's up to you too. I'm not wishing to try and stage a game no one else is interested than I myself.

Would you like a game that would have in it an air of insecurity? One version of the game I have thought includes the idea that the players would not fully know what is going on (aka not knowing all the roles in the game). These facts would be revealed by the narrations (not the facts over who is who, of course, but the facts of which kind of roles there are - and there would not be any shifting roles: everyone stays in the role they are given in the beginning!) but they would have to be thought about, giving something more for the villagers and the villains tochew about.

(Just trust me on this. I have thought of a host of different initial arrangements and how would they play and have tried to come up with one or two possible ones that seem equal)

How would you like a kind of a Gallup before the game? I thought one way of enlivening the Day1 could be revealing the results of a villager-poll where people could have "secretly" told me (by PM's) before the game who they are afraid of and who they tend to look at symphatetically (I would be making a formal questionnaire on this to every player by a PM before the game starts). Infused into the Day1 narration that could give people something to pick up upon as the results would be the shared beliefs of the village (with no individual points revealed). Just one more way of trying to make the Day1 a bit more reasonable...

After all this, I also admit enjoying the really basic games.

It's up to you which one you wish to take on. A mildly experimental one (with more than one ranger and possibly one or two other extra-roles, like a seer, a hunter, a cobbler, or something; possibly unknown to the villagers but by interpreting the narrations) or a basic game. I'm happy with both, but would surely like to try the ideas I have been entertaining in my head the last month...

These thoughts I think should be shared here. After I have enough points on one way or another I will start an admin thread where we can continue this untill all is set.

Up to now it seems that Durelin and Rikae have signed up to whatever comes. Also I have talked with Lommy today and know she will be in too.

So the preliminary list of players stands in:
Durelin
Rikae
Thinlómien

Feel free to join and make your comments on the above questions. The admin thread will be opened as soon as there is some preliminary agreement on behalf of enough of the people whether we will go for a game of rangers fighting the wolves in one or another version or with a basic-basic game...

PS. I will be considering the importance of any "WW-character roles" with the result of the kind of game chosen, so at least for now there is no hurry in getting an occupation as I'm not sure we'll need them.
