Feel free to post in character if you are so inclined. It would be fun, but it is by no means expected of you.

There have been some questions regarding the nature of the "lover" roles and victory conditions and so on, so let me try to clear this all up.

The "lover" pairs are for communication purposes only; the only similarity that they possess to traditional lover pairs is the fact that they can PM with each other at any time.

In all other respects, such as how they die, their victory conditions, how they vote, etc, the "lovers" behave as either wolves, innocents, or gifteds, not as traditional lovers.

Sorry about the confusion and thanks for bearing with me. First shot at modding and all that. PM me with any more questions.

I'm off to work for a while - won't be back until 7PM PST, so don't expect replies/posts until around then.

Toodles!

Gwath, what about the one Lover pair where if one dies so does the other, is that pair like a traditional Lover pair or is it like all the others as well?

Actually, I ended up not using that idea, given the low number of players, but I forgot to notify you all. Apologies! There is no traditional lover pair. All lovers will survive their partners' deaths.

I should have also mentioned in the game rules that there will be no retractable votes.

I have been petitioned by a player via PM to restart the game because of the confusion over the exact nature of the PM-pairs (i.e. in what ways they are similar to traditional Lovers). My initial reaction is to just let the game play out, but ultimately I'm happy to do whatever you all would prefer.

So, what does everyone think? Since it's still early in the game, would you like to start over? I would reshuffle the roles, of course.
