Werewolf XLII: The meaning of life forever

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Well, folks, I must say this was an interesting game, in any case, though unfortunately short for me (Menel, I am waiting for you to apologize). Congratulations to all the Wolves & McCobbler who did really well for a first-timer.

As to the game balance, the output of the trials, whatever the case, is really, really much random. It can bring many information for the further game - but only for the further game, and that may mean already seven wolves in the village. I think the number is still somewhat unbalanced, as there is a real chance of having seven wolves in the village and thus, them winning right on Day 1. Just look at how many of them there were this time. I would at least, for example, use the Cobbler in one group instead of a Wolf, so, there will be one Ordo-Gifted-Cobbler group and there will be no Ordo-Cobbler-Wolf group (though, as it showed even this time, the cobbler does not necessarily have to mean bonus for the wolves, but the point is in making the number of wolves lesser).

Another thing I would like to emphasise is the participation. Nogrod already mentioned that here, but let me say it again: especially in a game like this, it is vital that everyone posts more at least during the trials, because otherwise, it ends with total randomness.

And one word for all future Mods - the remark about Rikae's dream pointed that out to me. Every Mod should double- (if not even quadruple or more) check whether all his rules are clear, factual, precise and unambiguous. The rules are supposed to be more sort of a legal document, and the terms should be exact.

As to WW32, I didn't see it such problematic, if you ask me, I think it was less unbalanced than this one. The only problem there was, as far as I remember, only the role of the Shade, who was by logic on the side of the Innocents (he would choose that by logic). But then he was just one more Gifted for the Village - otherwise, no problem.
