Which makes him far from innocent.

But yeah those are pretty much all of them.

I can assure you from experience that you want to make sure you've got several more ordos than you do gifteds. If not, by the end of the game everyone will be identified and it takes that final-death-paranoia away entirely.

And the Mytho is a blast, but think carefully if you want one. Any choice can mean absurd swaying of the odds for either side. In both games with one, that's exactly what happened. Mith's game with an extra wolf (fantastic job again, Kath), and my own with a pair of Seers (nice choice Firefoot). The latter ensured a village victory, the former made the wolves' job easier. If you want a truly close and addictive game, you might want to opt out of using the Mytho. If you don't mind the wildcard aspect of "will the wolves get an upper hand, or will the villagers?", mythos are fun as heck.

Well, where is our Modka? She's been missing in action for awhile now. I wonder where she could be????

Our dear Modka has recently taken a leave of absence (couchherboyfriendcameuptospendtheweekendcough) I'm not sure whe she's starting the game, but I'll ask her and get back to you on it. Fear not! She'll pull through in the end.

I'm still trying to catch-up on things but if it's not too late, I'd like to join up and if it is, then 'oh well' to me.

I see!! That sounds like an excuse I'd use!

But I'm not fearing, I was just wonderin where she was because she hasn't posted for awhile, sooooo....

Holby, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to join. She wants at most 18 players and we only have 8. Besides, we need to have more experienced players in here.

I agree about the ratio of gifteds to non gifteds and would say that the mythomaniac hs benefits especially in larger games or where you are unsure about having an extra wolf. I would point out that Kath had guessed morm was a wolf when she chose. The mytho mane could be limited by delaying their role change or by making them choose their "twin" before the game.. but I still have an affection for the role.
