I also think Athena and Demeter knowing all those roles seems like it just gives them so much power, and gives the village a huge advantage since they could confirm a gifted reveal. All the other roles balance each other out, but I think those two hold just a bit too much information.
I knew there was a reason you're my bestie!

I totally agree with Athena and Demeter....I'm going to change those two up in a little bit, but just to give an idea: Athena knows either Ranger, Hunter or Hunting Guardian (I'm eliminating the Seer) or maybe even two of them if there is enough people and Demeter either Persephone or Hercules...I'm leaning more towards Persephone as she is Demeter's daughter.

As for the Lovers: I was thinking earlier of adding the "Live till the end of the game" for Persephone and Hades. As for Hera and Zeus, even though they ARE Lovers and would make sense for them as well, I kind of was thinking almost Shirrif style. No revealing each other or yourselves and if Hera wants Zeus dead lynch style she would have to work for it. Actually, I'm going to make a rule right now for the Lovers:

Wolves may not send in their Lover counterpart as a Night kill.

This way, if Hera really wants Zeus dead that badly, she will have to work like the rest to weed him out as a Wolf and it would kind of be redundant for her to do that as she doesn't get a revenge kill.

What do you think?

PS: Yes, I know this changes things a bit for their roles. So anything I'm change, I will bold and italicize above

EDIT: Thoughts on Demeter and Athena changes. As for the Lovers, if you see a flaw with anything else there, let me know.

But what if the pack decides that that's who they want to kill (for other reasons etc.)?

Darn these loopholes that I didn't get a chance to think about. Okay....thinking on my feet time here we go....

Wolf Lovers are not allowed to reveal to the other packmates who their counterpart is.

And to make things simplistic:

ALL THREE Lover pairings must try to survive to the end. IF all three pairings live, it will be considered a three way Lovers Win (the likelihood of which is very slim)

You could stay vague about Athena. Like "She knows the identity of one of: the Seer, the Ranger, the Hunter, or the Hunter Guardian. Only she will know which." And keep it a mystery to which she is aware of? Mysteries are fun times.

One more tinsy thing about the Lover pair, but this you can ignore if you want, I don't think it's like a problem or anything; but Hephaestus and Aphrodite, I think only one of them should be allowed to guess and the other doesn't know their identity at all (like A guesses, and H doesn't know who A is at all, or vice versa). Just to make it a bit harder. I like making things harder for people.
