You guys are looking at this "nightly kill" thing the wrong way. In a normal game, we'd have the lynch, then the nightly kill. In this game, they just happen at the same time. It''s only one more death a night. And who among us has not wished we could take someone with us when we get lynched? We're already taking away the knowledge that the lynch brings. Even with the ability for them to make the kill (which they might not, if the ranger succeeds) the wolves can still foul up on who they kill. And remember, the lynchee who gets a kill could take out one of the wolves, as well.

That said, the Ranger, Hunter, and Seer should be able to send in lists as well. In all fairness, they wouldn't protect/hunt/dream of, someone they just lynched. That just wouldn't make sense.

Also, given the special abilities of the Vampires, I think it only fair that all the gifted be allowed to converse, if only during the Day.

Concerning the daily conversation, I think although the village wouldn't know who voted for whom, there could still be hints in the daily conversation, even bandwaggons created, even started by the vampires - not that it would be known if they really succeeded until the lynch shows.

One thing about swaying the votes - the Vampires cannot, but the Shade is still able to vote, or not?

I like the ideas Volo(&Kath) brought to the game. And if someone is still skeptical - oh c'mon, it's a prototype. We have to give it a try. I think especially that riddle part can be really funny.

This is still open to changes. The Shade, being neutral, should and should not have the right to vote. I think it should, because otherwise it has a rather small effect. But then again if it can vote, it might have a great effect. The Shade is pretty much a flip of the coin, it might help the already winning side or balance the game, so whoever the Shade is, use it wisely.

You mean PM?

And I think I'll drop the kill lists off, it will make the game unrealistic*, but otherwise it would be even more complicated to play and mod. Or would the lists for every gifted be fair, or only for the good gifted?

Storywise the lynching happens in the beginning of the night.

I would drop the lists too. Have scope for numerous kills but include with it scope for numerous saves.

This will certainly be entertaining!
