As for the Hunter/Heir debates, I could go either way. The Hunter, at least, has a chance of killing a wolf, while we as a village really don't. And then we still have another Hunter, so it's not like we're losing a big opportunity by killing our Hunter straight off. But there's not much for the Hunter to go off of yet. We've had a really quiet Day so far, and the chances of hitting a wolf? Not that great.

Still, it's better than killing the Ranger, in my opinion. We don't gain much in that case. The most that can be said for that is we don't risk the Hunter killing the wrong person - and I think, if we're going to tread on the safe side, we may as well just lynch an ordo, so that if the wolves kill a Gifted overNight, we still have the Heir to even that out.

Well more or less what I think. Now that I think of it, it is a sort of paradox that we kind of don't want to kill a Wolf toDay - because if we do, we lose a Day, while the WWs don't. I think it all comes down to luck, anyway. There are so many options... Personally, I would prefer to leave the thing open, even with the risk of adding one more Wolf, but in fact, even in such a case we won't really "lose" anything - not more than the one Day's vote, whereas on the contrary, if we planned some Gifted-to-Heir sacrifice, we risk losing some Gifted to the WWs e.g. at Night afterwards. But okay, whatever, I am open to discussing this... I think it will be interesting to hear what others think about it, in any case.

Hmm. Interesting idea about getting the Heir on the good side straight away. This is a strange case where we actually have a disincentive to get a wolf on Day 1, because, as Nog noted, we'll lose an innocent simultaneously if we do. But still, I'd hate to start things off with two innocents down going into toNight, and the odds are for that at the moment if we lynch the Hunter. And here's a question: say the Hunter takes a Gifted or a wolf with xem. Who does the Heir replace, the actual first one dead, which would be the Hunter?
