Thank you Eomer. Those of us who are just following the game are also speculating as to the outcome!

It seems I have caused confusion in my previous posts, and for this I apologise. What seems so clear in my head obviously does not necessarily translate into my posts, so I must clear this up.

If the Cursed Villager has become a werewolf, and is then lynched by the villagers, then the villagers will know that they have killed a werewolf. All I was trying to point out was that the villagers will not know whether that werewolf was an original or Cursed.

For example: if Eomer of the Rohirrim is a cursed villager turned werewolf and is lynched, then the villagers will know that they have killed a werewolf.

However: they will not know that he was Cursed.

They would have to kill the others or wait until the end of the game to find out who the Cursed villager was. It's only this really minor aspect of the game I was focusing on.

Nothing to worry about!

In no way am I suggesting that the lynchings are confusing.

For example: if the innocent Feanor of the Peredhil is lynched (which doesn't seem so far-fetched), she is found to be innocent as soon as she is dead. So don't worry: anyone killed after a lynching stays dead; there are no ghosts floating about the village!

I hope that clears up any worries.

Thanks for that further elucidation. That makes for a very interesting game, that the villagers never know if they are dealing with 3 or 4 werewolves until the very end.

I like the idea of the villagers being completely in the dark on the number of werewolves. They need rousing every so often, what with the growing idea that simplicity should be foremost in thinking during the games. "Hey, Eomer of the Rohirrim just confused me... let's lynch him! But first... we'll get out the largest scales and see if he floats in the same water as lead and very small rocks."

Note to self: If you are an innocent Villager, don't shoot yourself in the foot on Day 1 by agitating for the lynching of the person who turns out to be the Seer ...

What a stressful game! But immensely enjoyable.

Good luck fellow innocents. You'll need it!

Help! I wanna follow along and have only started reading now, and can't find the current actual game. Can someone help me?

Anguirel · 06-10-2005, 09:22 AM

It's been so frustrating watching! I was desperate to defend the Phantom and SpM...and I fear the village is going to fall now on another fellow I think innocent...
