I do agree with this. If the mod and the sub-mods are up to their task there should be no problem there. And if Roa actually is the other one of the sub-mods I have not a slightest doubt about her commitment. And in the end the Wizard decides so it's only the problem of the "Chosen ones" if they miss their chance of making their stands.

And it didn't seem like Gurthang could plan as effectively as Roa, simply because of only being able to PM during the day. So, definitely letting both teams only PM at night should alleviate some of the "work load" the GW has to do, and they could plan more effectively.

I think it is obvious we'll let the GW PM with her team during the Nights this time. The only problem is whether that is enough to balance the game.

And even if I myself think one should run a host of dry-runs before trying a new concept I'd also remind of the fact that dry-runs are only random results. If Lommy and A little Green will take the bait we might try the dry runs some weekend we'll be together and we could see how it works with some more specified gaming as well. *

Absolutely! I think no one wishes to relive the situation where lmp needed to make a hasty decision. And that's the reason why I have wished to have this discussion going on. I mean not everyone needs to know all the rules by heart when the game begins but there should be a place where anyone could check them if they just became interested or if their role-change made it important

I'd surely like to see in our game!

* I thought of trying this one out with Lommy & Greenie in a way that would also take notice of the different personalities of people possibly playing. I mean the any one seer looks differently to Legate and Shasta (or Spm and Valier) as they have very different profiles... The Wizards surely take these different profiles into account but I would just be intersted to try it out not purely random but with a few different scenarios where the Wizards would have different tactics (scrying the silent ones vs. scrying the opinion-shifters etc.). But we'll see about that...
