To this the fact can be added that there is no voting-record to help the villagers. So are you sure about the balance of this game?
And what will a vampire-ranger do? Defend a fellow vampire that was to be lynched? Okay, I can see a point in this as the innocents who do the voting don't exactly know who was in trouble and thence a save by the vampire-ranger doesn't reveal the saved vampire for sure. Or is s/he only for saving another vampire whom the shade meant to kill at Night? In both cases, more in the first, the vampires are made even stronger.

Yes, the V(ampire)Seer is to find the Gifteds/Shade and the VHunter has a free kill at death.
The VRanger can save from the Shade and the Hunter, but not from the Lynch or the Lynch Kill (I'll explain).

The Shade is on its own. Of course it can make deals with the Village or Vampires in the game thread, and betray if it wants.
It's the most important role in the whole game as it can change a lot, so use it wisely.
The only thing the Shade has to do is survive. It wins if either the Villagers or the Vampires win, as long as the Shade is alive. The Vampires don't have any reason to kill the Shade, except for their own safety, as the Shade can kill them. The Shade may also vote, unlike the Vampires.

If the Shade wishes to help the Village.

Nah, the VRanger can't save from Lynches.

In fact they should worry. You, Nogrod and Aganzir are the only ones that don't. It's a joke, sorry (not really...

) for confusing you... I'll shuffle all the roles. Or so I think.
Welcome, Roa, Gil and Mac! and Xyzzy, who PMd me.
