Also, let's not forget my first game, where I had six wolves. The village still won. My last game Nerwen dreamt three wolves in a row, including the freshly turned cursed I believe, and the game was over far too quickly for my liking. Mods can't predict what players might do or whom the village might lynch. It's impossible.

I don't mean unbalanced in terms of player-strengths, I mean in terms of roles n' rules. See,
tum got
Rikae and
Lottie got
Wilwa– that was good playing and good luck. But then the village found a loophole in the rules by which
tum could be protected continuously, as long as the Rangers survived. That was, well, a loophole. Add to that the number of players who knew others' roles, and the fact that everyone had a unique role, and thus could basically find the wolves just by elimination.
Look, it's hard to discuss this without making it look like I'm jumping on
Gllrdan. It's not that– if you run a complex game with a whole lot of new rules, it's a practical impossibility to think of everything (you, know, "even the very wise cannot see all ends" and all that). I'm just saying that I'm rather glad
the phantom killed
tum, as the endgame would have been lacking in drama otherwise. As it was, the village still won pretty easily.

Inexperienced as I was, my plots went all astray and I ended up losing, and I was sad about that, too.
Or do you mean I should've played the entire game on the wolves side?

Not necessarily– what if you'd never been turned? Some people just assume the Cursed will play for the wolves all along, but that really depends on the player.
