There's been talk whether the GW should have a gifted limit, and thus she could protect people against the EW's scrying on the nights she couldn't scry herself any more gifteds.
Personally I think it would be too much of an advantage for her, though.

Hope this was of some help and I didn't mess the things up myself.
Eh... sure? Well at least on the game thread it looked quite differently, it looked like that the GW can simply protect the person. And surely even then, what if let's say there were a person who's already a Gifted, and the EW scried on her, but the GW did too (of course why would he do that, but it's technically possible; and f.ex. he could if he presumed that EW wants to scry that person, and wanted to keep this person to himself as a Gifted) - in that case, the person surely wouldn't die too? That will be pretty unfair. In any case I think the idea of dying is quite odd. Was it like that in the former game?

And if there are any disputes according to this, my vote would be definitely for letting the GW at least protect the people against EW. Because otherwise, EW can scry millions of Wolves but the GW has only a few Gifteds on her side. I know she technically has the ordos on her side as well, but... you see, in normal village you have also Wolves vs. both Gifteds and Ordos. So here you'd have Wolf kill vs. Ranger protection (is there a Ranger, right? If the GW "creates" him), and so you should have EW scrying vs. GW scrying. Balance, simply.

However I don't want to get deep into this... and I am puzzled as well as it looked like it's decided already anyway...
