As far as the cursed gifteds go I'm not overly fond of that idea. I would say that if you do want to curse a gifted that they would simply loose those powers and become a wolf. Though the shirriff has no power and therefore would be privy to information they otherwise wouldn't. If the shirriff's are allowed to reveal themselves that would be awful to have a known innocent become a wolf.

I have a couple of requests. One is that we don't use Real Life problems as an excuse. Last game was a great example with Oromin. I realize that she had true RL problems so I sympathize with that but I got to thinking that it would be easy to make up problems and use that as a strategy. I am against that. Again Oromin did nothing wrong because they are real problems but I don't think we should invent things to hide us innocent or guilty.

Acting suspicous is a very viable strategy that has worked well for both wolves and innocents but it should be just that, a strategy. I realize that we are all trying to have fun but it can be highly counterproductive to the village when your only goal is to be lynched. The problem I see is that it can hurt all involved. If there are merely innocent than we spend one day killing an innocent and not getting any useful information. If they are gifted we automatically loose one from our ranks and if they are a wolf then the wolves will be left with only 2 after the first day. Does anybody else have any feelings on this?
