Okay.
Let's make it this way. We will probably have 18 players (but it can be 17 as well). Here are my suggestions: 1. 4 wolves & 3 gifteds (seer, ranger, hunter) 2. 3 wolves & the seer 3. 3 wolves & the ranger 4. 3 wolves - no gifteds Which one would you prefer or do you have better ideas? The reasoning for the above choices: 1. The higher number of wolves is balanced by having all the gifteds in (and the hunter would be the so called logical one ie. s/he wouldn't kill an innocent during a Night if attacked but only a wolf - if hunting one). 2. Big village but only three wolves so only one gifted ie. the seer. 3. Big village but only three wolves so only one gifted ie. the ranger. 4. Big village and a challenge for the villagers with no help balanced by there being "only" three wolves.

Only to apply what I said on these options you posted, I am for No.2., eventually No.4. if there is really interest in a no-gifted game. I am strongly against No.1.
Good night

I kind of like the idea of number 1. That might just be the fact that I've never been a gifted, though. =P

I have one more proposition...
 I received a PM from Kuru who said he would be away on the weekend with no net acces (meaning he would miss Day2) but would like to play. It would be so nice to see him on a game for such a long time that I will offer him a place as the 19th player. That will definitively give us 4 wolves - if he comes along that is. That in turn would only leave us the decision whether we take along all the three basic gifteds or should we try with only a seer and a ranger - or with only one of them? PS. Welcome Shasta, please give us your hobbit surname...

My input (again):
If there are three wolves, then we only need a seer. If there are four wolves, then we should have a seer and a ranger. Either way, no hunter is necessary. A no-gifted game would be interesting, but I think it'd only work in a smaller group...

Even with 19 I still recommend 3 wolves and only the seer. I'm not sure if my input is valid but take it for what it is worth. I think it still provides a balances and fun game.

The basic / classical ratio I think is 3 wolves for 15 players + the possible gifteds. If we have 19 players it would then call for four wolves - as would 18. To keep it simple as possible I'd be ready to go for 4 wolves and 2 gifteds (seer and ranger). That's then the classical ratio with a slight edge to the wolves (19/4 and not 20/4 - compare to 15/3). But if we were ready to play a game with no gifteds or just with one then adding another gifted might balance the minuscule edge the wolves have. Well, we have time to settle this before Night1 begins... and I'm open to follow the majority of you players here as it is you who play the game... So let's hear from you!
