So can we agree that the hunter will be replaced by a duo of rangers who can coordinate at night?

The only addtional advantage I see is that at most only two more players would know that each other is not a lycan. Fair enough for this large number of players we have.

But when happens if our trio of wolves make the mistake of killing off the rangers. That would leave only one hound left. Is there a need to increase the number of wolves at the start? Or the number of cursed villagers?

I don't really think we need to alter anything, and don't see any real reason to insert a new Ranger, or limit their power. I'm thinking perhaps two groups of innocent villagers who know one another could unbalance the game.

What do the rest of you guys think?

And do not worry, my dear Eomer, there will be fire and pitchforks aplenty.

No I think the additions that have been noted are sufficient and adding another hunter wouldn't be prudent. I think we need to give the villagers a little bit more of an advantage than the currently have I don't think we need to tip the scales needlessly in their favor. Although I see no reason not to call the hunter a ranger (keeping more in line with Tolkien)

Saurreg · 06-16-2005, 08:25 AM

Ok. Suits me fine.

And just so I get it right; every night the guardian sends the mod a name he/she wants to protect. Rite?

the guy who be short · 06-16-2005, 08:46 AM

Oh, and feel free to suggest new names for the Guardian, Cursed Villager and Seer as well

.

EDIT: Yes, Saurreg, that's correct. The Hunter should also PM me each night with somebody to kill if they get killed... it's just easier that way.

mormegil · 06-16-2005, 09:02 AM

Seer can stay as there is Malbeth the seer
Hunter could be changed to Ranger or Dunedain
Guardian--Wizard? Istari? I don't know

I see cases for both the Hunter and Guardian to be called Rangers. Perhaps the Hunter should remain so (after all, Middle Earth was full of hunters) and the Guardian should be renamed the Ranger, as they protect the people of Middle Earth in secret.

Okay I can agree with that but I'm still perplexed over the cursed villager.

Perhaps we could call him Turin
