How about "retired mariner and currently mayor overseeing honorary functions"?

Oops! Fixed.

the phantom: to clarify: there may be only one seer at a time, one ranger at a time, and one hunter at a time. The clarification shall be in the updated rules post (# 2770).

Yes.

No. The game is designed so that the good guys will feel at a disadvantage early, like the War of the Ring. Tolkienian, but still a basically level playing field.

It may be a good reason to extend Nights to 48 hours, for the sake of all that needs to get done at Night. We won't start that way, but we'll keep an eye on things. It will likely often come down to a vote by the werewolves. Boromir88 is going to be busy informing the werewolves who their nominees are, then they vote, and there will probably be run-offs and the like until a kill is determined.

I didn't account for player personality in the dry runs, as I had no idea who would join. I might have time to run a dry run with 24 for-sure's now, and see if I can predict personality choices, but that could be like trying to rewrite the Lord of the Rings by replacing all the main characters with Barrowdowners! We'll probably just see how this goes.

No werebears or cobblers in this game; however, if there were, the evil wizard could curse new ones if old ones were lynched.

The wizards may discuss whatever they want with gifteds and werewolves. Such discussions would be had knowing full well that gifteds could end up werewolves, and werewolves could end up gifted.

One thing favoring the good team, thus offsetting the early advantage of the evil team, is that the good wizard really has no reason to hide. It's like having an invincible shirriff. The evil wizard might feel desperate enough and be unwise enough to call the good wizard out to battle as soon as the good wizard declares, but that's only three or four werewolves against a village of at least 20 innocents; the evil wizard would be foolish to call out the good wizard until as late as possible.

Good question. The wizards' actions will always be considered to be the first actions of the Night. Therefore, using your example above, the seer may not dream that Night. The kill is the last thing to be decided each Night, and therefore any uncursed werewolf is by that time a "mere" ordo.
