Ah thanks G55 I see the point now. It does make it slightly harder. However if the wolves who have found each other were allowed to send a list each then they would have a definite kill - as they could simply put the same name on both lists having agreed on it. They could also end up killing their third wolf that way having never discovered who they were. To make up for the perhaps lower kill chance, they are able to share and spread their dreams so it is more likely they will find their third member.

If this still seems drastically unfair then once two wolves have found each other they could put 4 names on the lists.

Yes the order of the names is important but so is how often they appear. For example:

Wolf 1: Shasta, G55, Boro

Wolf 2: Shasta, Boro, G55

Wolf 3: sally, Boro, Greenie

So although Shasta was top of two lists Boro appeared on all three. Therefore Boro would be killed.

Wolf 1: Shasta, Greenie, Boro

Wolf 2: Boro, Greenie, Shasta

Wolf 3: Greenie, Boro, Shasta

Here Greenie would be killed. Assume third place = 1 point, second place = 2 points and first place = 1 point. So Boro overall has 6 points, Shasta has 5 points and Greenie has 7.
