Just don't give the Ring to me - I would surely just forget it while singing the praise of nature. But as far as I can see Gildor seems to be the obvious choice, wise and firm elf not so easily corrupted like the humans, powerful as some or fickle and unpredictable as the others.

What comes to the rules I think that allowing retractions greatly enhances the chances of the wolves as they can really use them knowing what they are doing as they are. So if the wolves are the underdogs (sorry about the metaphor) we should have retractions but if the "village" looks weak in numbers we should not give the wolves that advantage.

Double-lynches are ok. to me if we have a lot of players but not if we have a small company.

Also I think that there being an element of randomness in who's lynched in a case of a tie slightly favours the wolves while there being a firm rule about who dies (the first or the last to gain the highest number of votes) slightly evens things up.
