lmp, about the rules....

Night 1-
1) The Evil Wizard curses three villagers to be wolves
2) The Good Wizard scries one villager, turns them into a gifted of his/her choice

Is that right? If so, that means there won't be a Seer, Ranger, and Hunter until at least Day 3. That is, if the GW even decides to make a Seer, Ranger, and Hunter, because the rules say-
Quote:
If the GW finds an innocent, the GW has the option of turning that innocent into a gifted, the choices being Seer, Ranger, and Hunter.
The way that reads, it looks like the GW never has to make a Seer, Ranger, and Hunter. He could make everyone he scries a Seer if he chooses. And then the rules say-
Quote:
If the gifted is de-gifted by the EW's curse, the GW may assign that gift to another. If a gifted is killed, the gift may be assigned to another innocent.
In other words, it is impossible to get rid of a gift while the GW is alive. Let's say on the first four nights the GW makes four Seers, and on day four one of the Seers is lynched. At that point, the GW will, as the rules say, "assign" that seer gift to another villager, and then that night the GW will scry yet another villager and make them a Seer.

So even if a Seer is killed every night and a Seer is lynched every day, the number of Seers will continue to grow, because the GW is allowed to assign any dead gifted's gift to another villager independent of his nightly scrying.

Is this what you had in mind, lmp, or are you going to rewrite the rules to keep this from happening?
