My understanding of the purpose of this thread is that the role descriptions we give here don't
have to be followed– rather, we're attempting to define the
standard roles, mainly for the benefit of newcomers. I think that will need to be emphasised in the final version.

Either way, I'd prefer to see this as a recommendation only, rather than a "hard" rule, or else make a token connection acceptable. *cough* Starship
Lothlorien *cough*

Agreed on 1.) and 2.) As for 4.), it's normal for the Seer to get a Night 1 dream.
The Hunter's role is a bit more problematic, as it never really has been standardised. Perhaps we should define Logical and non-Logical Hunters and leave it at that? I recall being quite confused on that issue as a n00b.
Shouldn't we also mention Cursed and Werebear? They're non-standard, true, but newbies often don't know what they are at all.
Finally, it might be an idea to have a Barrowdowns WW Glossary.
