Werewolf IIX - Tra la la lally, here down in the Saga, ha ha!

[The Saucepan Man]

I sympathise with your view, LMP, but, as far as I am concerned, if it's legal then its available. As I stated earlier, if it is felt to be undesirable, then it can be prevented by a few simple rule changes.

I think that it can be viewed as credible if one looks at the wider picture - the Villagers are sacrificing themselves to prevent the Werecreature moving on to another Village. Thus, more lives are saved in the long run. Remember, the Hunter is the sworn enemy of these beasts, so it is fitting that he would want to prevent them escaping to cause further harm, even at the cost of the remaining Villagers' lives.
