Hmm, I am not particularly familiar with Poe but I am hungry (like the wolf) for more WW games and I do like a game with a Werebear, so count me in.

I may be misunderstanding this, but doesn't this mean that circumstances can arise which can give the village a significant advantage?

It's not great for me, as it will I think be 5am for me by the time the game starts. But it appears to suit the majority, so I will just have to vote a little bit earlier than I normally would.

Mira can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe we talked about this and they are allowed to protect someone for two nights in a row but no more than that. I also think that after the village is only down to one kill a night then the Ranger can no longer protect a person more than once.

Does that sound more a little more even?

A Poe theme, eh? I'm in.

I think SPM is referring to the event of a revealed seer. The ranger being able to protect a revealed seer two Nights in a row is rather unfair to the wolves, and potentially devastating for them, as last game demonstrated.

Also, the lovers- are they the lovers I've seen before, where one is a wolf and one is an innocent? Are they both innocents? Or is it completely random how they will be set (after all the roles are decided, the lovers are picked at random, allowing for any combination.) It also seems unclear- does the one lover die after the other is killed? Or do they just get their revenge killing?

I believe we decided that the ranger would only be able to protect from one killing so if the seer revealed the ranger would protect xem but then if both the bear and the wolves attacked the ranger would only be able to stop one attack and the seer would die. The ranger is allowed to protect twice in a row but no more than that. After the kills went down to one then the ranger wouldn't be able to protect someone more than once in a row.

However, if the consensus is that this is unfair then I'm sure Mira will change it.

I believe the lovers are neither innocent, nor bad. They want to win and they don't care how it happens.

Does that help?

Does that mean they don't count as innocents in the tally of innocents vs wolves?

Umm... good question. *shall wait for Mira*

satansaloser2005 · 10-27-2009, 12:20 PM

I've always seen them counted as innocents, but I could be wrong.

Mirandir · 10-27-2009, 10:43 PM

Mkay I'm here, I'm here! Let's see if I can clear some things up.

Nienna is indeed correct about the ranger shenanigans. Can protect twice in a row, when it's down to one kill a night can't do that any more.

Lovers count as innocents in the tally, but then again so does the cobbler, so do with that information what you will. In some games the remaining Lover dies after getting their revenge kill, but we decided to let them keep playing for kicks.

Nienna will now review this post and tell me if I've left anything out.

Hey thanks for the invite but I don't think I'm going to be able to play. Uni life is a bit overly busy at the moment! I'd say I'd play but just be quieter but ... well, that would be difficult!

Lariren Shadow · 10-29-2009, 02:11 AM

So for reference I'm good with the deadline.
