I like your idea for the cobbler. And I'll join as a traveling salesman of various things.

Hmm... does the cobbler get this in addition to the usual "distraction" role? (as in, does the cobbler still try to help the wolves even by sacrificing himself, if worst comes to worst, or is his priority his own survival?) I think the modified role is an interesting idea, whichever way it works. We likes it very much.


And I'm likely to be in... no, scratch that. I'm in whatever. I just hope you don't start until at least next week.

I'm in, of course. As if I'd miss two games in a row.

ARE WE DOING A BACK TO THE BASICS GAME WITH ROLES!?!?

Either way, I'm in (and if we are doing roles, I shall be a traveling thespian who can't remember his lines)

I've been away for so long that I wasn't aware we had stopped using roles. I'd still prefer to keep them though.

We haven't, actually.

Yes and he/she has the chance to help the wolves a little more by stopping the gifteds from using their abilities.

And I encourage village roles. Then If I'm stuck on a death I can use that to help the narration.

I'll be the Little Red Riding Hood, coming to the village to see my grandmother. How appropriate that there's a wolf in that story too! Hey, she can be the first victim!

Okay, I cannot yet 100% confirm my participation, but I would like to play again, and it seems there are some long-lost people present in this game I shall at least follow this thread for the time being.

A few questions which I believe would be helpful to clarify in any case:

Can the Ranger protect two people in a row? Can it also protect itself?

You mean for the rest of the game, I presume?

Are you volunteering for being butchered early on?

When the Cobbler blinds the Seer or stops the Ranger, does he/she get to know that person's role?

Yes to self protect, no to double protect

Yes and I apparently need to learn that I must edit my posts before putting them up

No. I'll let her/him know they've made a hit though.
