Sign me up! I missed a game or so, and I'm itchy to get into another one.

I like retractable votes, since they can help get the village talking. It also makes the game less predictable, since everything could change last minute.

I can confirm that I won't play unless you're in desperate need of a player to begin. Sorry.

I agree with Roa's statement about the voting, and am very happy to see Roa coming along (unless I would have to play against her again... ).

I'm not really opposed to double lynchings. They can weigh the game in favor of either side, but they do add something interesting to the game. I would think it depends on how big the game gets. A small game, no, a large game, yes.

I agree! We will wait and see how many players we have

I think double lynching and retractable votes are both potentially fun, but I don't think they ever belong in the same village.

Double lynches belong in huge villages, or they are merely a liability, not a tool.

And retractable votes belong in smaller villages, or they are just confusing.

Jenny!

I didn't notice you at Valier's list of players... We can't separate our playing history now...

I don't know, Jenny. The first game I played in had about 15 players, retractable votes, and double lynchings. It stayed pretty even, and in the end it came down to two villagers and a wolf (Ang). It was a pretty good game.

You can say that again. Can I interest anyone in some unused death scenes?
