Ah yes but think the power may never be used. It could be a great liability to the village as well. I think during the last game I was very convinced of the guilt of some who were innocent and I may have killed them based on that thought. Well we'd have been down one more villager. I don't think it should be standard but it may be fun to give it a shot one day.

Fair enough. So long as that one day isn't the next game.

I'm rather excited to find out what the phantom has planned.

In a small game how about a combined Hunter/ Ranger? On any night he could either protect or kill one person and maybe could never kill anyone they had one protected... or even a Hunter/Ranger/Seer.... Dream, Protect, Kill

I like Hunter/Ranger, (in other words, yawn, a Hero) but throwing in Seer is bizarre!

The Fellowship...

Frodo (Cursed Villager)
Sam (ordinary)
Merry
Pippin (Shiriffs)
Gandalf (Ranger/Seer)
Aragorn (Ranger/Hunter)
Boromir (Mythomaniac)
Legolas (Hunter)
Gimli (Werebear)

Not sure where that came from...

I like the games as they are now, but it is funny how the wolves seem to keep winning. I actually never read a game which ended in happily ever after, except for the recent Junior one.

So it might be not such a bad idea to give the villagers an extra gifted. I think the idea of a Hunter/Seer/Ranger would cause terrible confusion at least and probably instant suicide or death of the entire village. But boosting the Hunter a little or maybe try having another gifted villager with the power of once being able to kill during Day, might work out.

Though in the end, I still think minimalistic games are the most fun.

I did try to have Hunter and Guardian cooperate in my game but since the original Hunter was a no-show and the Guardian was wolfed pronto it didn't really work. However if I do another one, I might try a "Hero" since it would put a bit of uncertainty into the mix.

Cailin, the first two games I played in, IV and VIII, were villager wins.
In fact *whispers modestly* I have always been on the winning side...

Yes, yes... IV was the first villager win. I had a lot of fun being a "Shirriff" in that game.

That was the game where I suggested that an innocent villager volunteer to be lynched on Day 1. Who can forget that?

OOO I will have to keep an eye out for Phantom's game...Sounds like a very interesting read! What with Phantom modding and a village that is promised to be full of experienced ww players, I will be eagerly reading along!
