In the first DW there was

Order of Night Activities:
1. Evil wizard picks whom to curse.
2. Good wizard pickes whom to scry.
3. Affected players are informed of results of #1 & #2 (if both wizards pick same villager, this phase gets longer but is completed before the next phase begins).
and if the same were to apply to here, the one the GW picked would become a new gifted immediately.
Yet I don't really know what to think of it. I mean, if the GW has her roster full and can't scry a new gifted that night, she can partly replace the lost one herself (by working as a seer or whatever her ability was). Therefore it might be fairer if the GW got to scry a new one only the following night. What do you others think?

I think we discussed this already...

But any issue that is unclear should be clarified.

There will be no immediate "replacements". If a gifted dies during the Night the GW can scry her roster full the next Night the earliest.

First of all there is no basic difference between the two options as the gifteds only work at Nights with special powers (and if the gift can be reassigned in the beginning of the next Night then there is no loss from the GW's viewpoint as the new gifted is fully operational that Night).

Secondly when scrying her roster full the GW is after the EW eg. trying to find out who she is. That is not automatically the same person she would like to have as her gifted so we should leave the choices to the GW and not force them upon her.



I'd like to see one or two players more (30 would be just great!). Rune and Mith are busy as well as Oddwen. Firefoot has not answered my call.

Then there were both Holby and Zali who said they were interested in joining the game earlier but of whom I have heard nothing since. If someone of you has more direct contacts with them please ask what is their situation.

If you know of anyone not yet playing feel free to invite them in the game. We still have two days before the game starts!

And don't get me wrong: I'm quite happy with the size of the village. Thirty would just be magnificient and a bit tougher game.

I asked Groin and Sixth but both are busy. Sixth said though that he might like to play in the next game, so whoever mods it can keep him in mind.

I think the arguments behind that conclusion were never made this open though, so it was good the issue arised anyway.

So unless anyone strongly objects this with good reasons I'd like the gifteds (and wolves) to know what the wizards final decision was.

About the modfire then. If someone doesn't post anything on two Days in a row she will be modfired eg. removed from the game. I don't know whether you consider this a light or strong version of it but to me it looks like not playing and thence getting removed.
All okay.

Let's just hope that the lean abhorred monster won't take sally to be his paramour... But a pity that our ww got him to dislike the story this much.
I really have no idea what these two are talking about...

Same here indeed, but mostly because I was unsure about guessing everyone's physical appearance and insulting someone by accident.

Though, I'm a bit afraid what you'd do to my sim after the last WW...

I'm racking my head of who to invite, but everyone I know for the most part has already been asked. Such a small world...
