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!

I agree. The funniest situation in this game would probably be: "...so the villagers awoke, and realized no one died at night." - "Huh? What?"

I had a similar concern, arising from the fact that the Vampire Seer will be able (at Night) to discuss their dreams with their comrades. But my response was slightly different. I would suggest that there be no Vampire Seer. The Vampires have the most knowledge anyway, so giving them the potential to gain more might tip the balance in their favour. It should be up to the Vampires (as with regular Werewolves) to try to spot the Gifteds from what is said during the day. And removing the Vampire Seer will probably removed any need to enable the Villager Gifteds to communicate during the Day.

I'm fine with the other Vampire Gifteds, however, and with the other rules. It is all rather tempting, I must admit, so I shall confirm my availability for selection, albeit with the usual caveat that I may not have time to be as involved as normal (this, of course, being a caveat that I inevitably find myself unable to stick to ...).

Roa_Aoife · 04-19-2007, 04:33 PM

Volo, yes, I meant via PM. One big advantage that the Vampires have over the villagers is their ability to communicate. With the advantages they already have, we could at least have them share that with the good gifted.

And remember, no kill list for the vampires means no lists for the gifted. It's true that a kill could be avoided, but so could a hunt or a dream.
