I agree, I think mass lynchings should go...just because it kills too many at once, and gets rid of some of the suspense.
I also think that the size of the village should go down in future games. 20 seems like a good high-end limit to me. I am at a disadvantage in this game because I share the computer with three other people, and I have school during the day, homework in the afternoons and weekends...so I can easily see myself not having time to get online more than twice a DAY. As a result, I'll have pages of posts to read and consider all at once. I don't have hours and hours to spend on the computer every day. I think this puts me in a place where I'm much more likely to make a mistake and lead in lynching the wrong person, or mess up and get lynched myself.
If the werebear is involved, I think it's good in a larger game like this. It adds a new level of suspicion and intrigue....and that's just what Werewolf needs, isn't it: more suspicion!
That's not to say I'm not excited about playing. I can't wait to get started. Just the list of names of people involved promises a very interesting game indeed!

Can't wait for the start of the game!
