By my reckoning, we have 17 already, so only 3 more required. 20 players seems a good number for this kind of game.

Makes sense to me. I am not in favour of villager Gifteds being able communicate.

Fair enough. I still think it's a very powerful role but if you want VSeer, I'm fine with that.

It could make a difference, particularly given the powerful nature of the VSeer. With Vampire Gifteds in the game, my vote would be to allow the villager Seer to spot Vampire roles.

The later the To-be-lynched person posts the name of his/her victim, the bigger the probability that the Vampires will try killing an already dead person. But the same goes for the Gifteds, the less time they have to chose a person who's not dead already.

Good points. Forget the timing thing and let's go with no Vampire/Gifted kill lists.

The Lynch Seer doesn't chose the victim, he/she choses only if the To-be-lynched person may chose a victim.

Sorry, my mistake. I got mixed up. I was wondering whether it might be more fun if the lynchee would have to solve their own riddle before being able to post a victim, rather than knowing it beforehand.

I think that we could all do with a statement of the rules once they have been finalised, preferably at the beginning of the game thread.

can we have at least a day's notice of the start please?

Presumably, though, it is possible for both the lynchee and the lynch seer to be a Vampire.

Fine by me. I'm on gmail too.

This is shaping up to be a great game ...
