Eomer has a point that I think should be considered. I for one am opposed to any game larger than the current. The main reason is that with 20+ players it's too difficult to try and read so many posts (some of great length), keep track of 20 players, work and maintain a family life.

So it might be worth considering a limit on the number of players I think 15 to 17 is ideal with no bear. I'm excited to see how this game goes though and see how the bear functions, hoping that I stay in longer than one day. So my opinion may change but that's my 2 cents.

Also, if there is somebody dying to get in that hasn't yet I am willing to give up my spot to somebody that wants it badly.

I guess I kind of agree with Mormegil- over 20 villagers is a big number to keep track of. However, with the bear thrown in for an extra kill every night it's really not very long before the numbers are quite a bit lower. It's always going to be crazy and random for the first couple of days, so I don't have a problem with bigger numbers. Although I would like to be in a 'straight-werewolf' game- just 3 werewolves and maybe 9 innocents.

While I agree with Morm that over 20 may make it too much for those of us in college or who work. I have also played many games of Mafia with 30 or 40 people and it just made the game a lot more intersting
