Besides, if this first-timer wolf is lynched on a pre-game day, s/he'll have no chance to try the best sides of wolvery, ie. the night discussions.
I think the new players will be in less danger if they know as little as everybody else. The idea was that the Wolves wouldn't be told their partners until Night1. That being the case the only thing they'd have to hide is that they themselves are Wolves. I'm against there being a Night before stage1 ends, but if you players think that it would be fair then I'll give a Night.

Lommy told me about this idea (I'm not sure if it was hers or Nog's) that there could be a first day when everybody speaks but no one is lynched, and only after that the pre-game days in groups of three. This would make it fairer- I bet it'll not be nice to be in the first group which has absolutely nothing to discuss.
That exactly is the idea of why I made up something like this...

In case Volo throws people with a shared past and vocal playing style together they might talk a few pages but I'm afraid that more often than not we will end up with more silence than discussion or actual playing.
...but this here is a good idea. However I'll resrict it to a Day of chatting, and what more, I won't tell the Wolves who the others are.
No, actually I'll think about this:

Then we could actually lynch someone on this common Day1 and the lynched one would have a role revealed to everyone so we would actually have lots to talk about on the "pre-Game" stages as there would be everything from the first Day (and the wolves at least should have had a Night1 talk so that they could try strategies if they wished and the others could try to see those patterns in the discussions).

If you ask me, this complicates the game in vain. But I guess I'm not asked because I'm always the pessimist.
Oh, but I don't believe that you're more pessimistic than I am (generally, maybe not in this case, but...). I rather like the idea so I think I'll keep it.

Aghh... Couldn't it be chosen randomly? It's not fair that someone dies because of eg. timezone if all have been suspected equally.
Ok.

Honestly, I don't know. The phantom's game lasted longer than I thought and I'm against both of somebody playing in two games at the same time and of a new game starting right after the preveous one, but since you are so eager... Just bantering. Seriously, 15 players isn't enough. I'll send PMs now.
How about Monday being Day0?
