Overrule only if the werewolves' majority vote is to kill a werewolf or the evil wizard. Gotta let them have a little fun...

First, s/he IS evil. But the good wizard can do it too. So.... Second, there may be situations in which the best (and perhaps only) way for the wizards to get what they want from their underlings is to tell them other than the truth. Thus, it becomes interesting to see just how Sarumanish (or not) the good wizard gets by the end of the game.

What if for some odd reason both wizards refuse to engage in battle?

The only way for the innocent villagers to win is for the good wizard to eventually sacrifice him/herself for the greater good, because the only way for the evil wizard to die is in battle with the good wizard (and it gives the mod an extra kill narrative to write
).

And I guess the poor players inflicted with timezones will have a hard time coping up at some point. Yes, even with 48-hour phases. Especially when they are wolves, and they have to decide on a(nother) death.

Which is one of the primary reasons why I'm allowing for 48 hours instead of just 24.

I see the sense of this; but it cuts both ways. It's a PM, after all, so no matter what, the rest of the villagers don't know who has volunteered. I might just recruit my wizards in any case, but there are a lot of BDers who would be great wizards, so I don't think I'll have a hard time finding them. Besides, they ARE the juiciest roles in the game.
And to SPM, 48 hours may seem long, and yes, it probably won't be a bad thing.... but with the potential for more than one kill per Night, as well as more than one lynching per Day, I'm not worried about length of game.
One final point in that regard: I'm thinking that
for every three additional werewolves there will be one additional kill per Night. Still thinking about that one, so please feel free to comment.
