I'd like to add that the death of either Wizard would completely unbalance the game.
If the GW dies, especially early on, there's nobody to counter the continual spawning of new werewolves. The villagers are unable to win as, at best, they can lynch one wolf per day, with no consequence as the EW creates a new one each Night.
If the EW dies, the remaining werewolves have to work independently and thus their team falls apart completely.
I suggest that the lives of the Wizards be tied to one another - the death of one
must result in the death of the other to keep the game balanced. This could happen in the following ways:
- Either wizard lynched.
- GW killed by wolves.
In addition, this would solve the problem of a Wizard finding out who the other Wizard is. If this were to happen, the consequence would be that one Wizard knows who the other is - and would most likely prolong his existence so as to preserve his own life. This could even develop into an interesting situation with both Wizards knowing each other's identities, but neither daring to strike. Conversely, once a Wizard knows who the other Wizard is, he could intentionally get one of them lynched if he thought the removal of both Wizards would favour his side.
If the wolves choose to kill the EW, he'd more or less have to tell them who he is, whether bluntly or not, to prevent his death. This could result in all the wolves knowing who the wizard is, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Then some of them could move over to the Good side and still know who the Evil Wizard is. We could see a situation where the identities of the two wizards are widely known, but to preserve equilibrium, nobody kills either of them.
If this were the case, I'd like to see the GW able to communicate with his side as well, in the same manner as the WWs with the EW - none of them knowing one another's identities, but able to communicate through the GW.
Anybody see any flaws?
EDIT: Ah, I see a flaw. If both wizards were to die, the gifteds on the Good Side could continue working independently. However, what of the wolves? Either the Mod takes over the EW duties, under the pretext that the wolves come together to decide who to kill, in wolf form, in the Night and are thus still oblivious concerning one another's identities; or they become a group, knowing one another's identities, under the pretext that the EW somehow did this magically...
