Dueling Wizards Werewolf II discussion thread

[Macalaure]

I have studied the rules and have the following questions:

If the Good Wizard has all the gifteds, but loses one gifted due to the Evil Wizard's scry or a wolfkill, assuming his scry isn't a wolf, will the scried person immediately replace the lost gifted (or will the GW only get a chance to regift the following night? I think the former is more fair.), or will he just be protected from the scry that didn't hit him? (I hope it's clear what I mean...)

I'm rather confused about the Good Wizard's ability to protect people from evil scries in case he has all gifteds. Weren't people scried by both in the same night supposed to die? Either I didn't understand something, or there's a contradiction in the rules.

On communication: As I understand it, the wizards and gifteds communicate with each other by sending what they want to say to the Mod (or respective Submod). Can the gifteds/wolves communicate to each other this way, too, or does all communcation among them have to go over their wizards (I mean something like the Hunter saying "Nogrod, please tell the Ranger....", or "Please tell all fellow wolves....", without the Wizards having the power to intervene).

After the Wizard Duel, the wolves learn each other's identity. Do the gifteds do that, too? I ask because usually the seer's identity is unknown to the other gifteds.

Furthermore,

++Modfire (actually, ++strong modfire, i.e., the two voteless days need not be consecutive);

++Lynch last who gets highest vote in case of a tie (with retractable votes that became a mess the last time, but we don't have them here).


Oh, and concerning occupations, I'd like to be an apple farmer.

Oh, another one:

If the wolves try to kill the Good Wizard at night, will only the evil team learn his identity, or will it be made public in the narration?

Yes, the former also looks more fair to me. I thought about it too. Because otherwise, whenever a Gifted was killed, the GW would be with one less minion over one whole day, while the EW doesn't have a "minion-limit" like this, so he can always compensate his loss immediately.

That was exactly what we were all talking about, so I think we'd better wait for some official statement from Nogrod

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a contradiction in the rules...

Ah, well there goes that strategy. In the last game I wanted both Wizards to scry me the same night so that the EW would be revealed to the GW, but doing a move like that in this game would simply kill me.

And I agree with my father on this point-

And then there was this-

After the Wizard Duel, the wolves learn each other's identity. Do the gifteds do that, too? I ask because usually the seer's identity is unknown to the other gifteds.

Even if the gifteds are not "told" each other's identities by the Mod, I do not believe there is any rule to stop the GW from sending them all a message telling them "The Seer is..." and so on. Of course if one of them gets ungifted and then the next night turned into a WW the GW will regret his decision, but that's just a risk you have to be willing to take. Plus there are ways to guard against that sort of thing.

I see I haven't posted my profession yet. I am a fortune-teller - folklorist - herb-grower - unofficial therapist, advisor and midwife, so most presumably a witch.

No satanic rituals? What kind of witch are you?

Well, if occupations are recommended, then I'll be a highwayman.
