Well I thought since the Seer and Weaver, with the added Ranger all being able to talk, it would give them too much of an advantage because they could plan their choices together and get far more info. Perhaps the Ranger and Seer could talk, but the Weaver is their own team, not knowing who anyone is. I was also thinking of giving the Weaver a choice during the Day and then another during the night. Would that be too much? I could also give the wolves some sort of a leg up by letting them have two kills the second night or something... I just think that the way the Weaver works they could make a really formidable team if allowed to chat with the Seer. Thoughts?

Well Lommy the Weaver does not quite have a Seer dream. They more or less just get to see the connection, if there is any, between two players. They do not learn their role. But the Weaver can use their powers smartly if they think about it. They can chose a player more than once, say they choose Valier (me) and Lommy, say we are both Ordos, the Weaver would be told that there is a connection and that is all. Then the next pick they could pick say..Lommy again and say Nogrod (who lets say is a wolf) then the Weaver would be told there is no connection, so if they use their gift wisely they can be very helpful. I think giving the W one weave per day and night this would allow them to make better choices. Is this making any sense?

Valier, I mean that the weaver is a second seer if s/he the seer has told him/her the identity of a wolf. Then s/he can weave about that wolf every night and just change the other person, so s/he gets to know every night about one person if s/he's a wolf or not, so s/he's basically the same as the seer... Do you see my point?

Valier · 06-25-2006, 01:01 PM

Ahhh yes I see your point!

OK so no way are the Seer and Weaver allowed to talk. Should the Seer and Ranger be able to chat? Oh and do you think it a good ideas for the Weaver to have one pick during the Day and one at night?

Secret Admirers Game:

Each person has a secret admirer, and when a person is killed, their secret admirer dies with them out of heartbreak.

If a person’s secret admirer has already been killed, then they must die alone.

Everyone knows whom they admire, but they do not know who admires them.

Game would include: Three Wolves, Seer, Ranger, Hunter; possibly Cobbler.

Would be played in a very large ‘village.’

Okay, so I just like to kill people...

I'm not sure if this has ever been brought up but an idea that just came to me is that of a revolving seer.

Let's say on night 1 the mod randomly designates one innocent ordo to be seer. They dream of somebody and that dream is kept to them. Now the role of seer remains in them throughout the day and if they are killed at night or day the gift of the seer is dead and will not come back, if however they live it will be randomly assinged the next night to another ordo, it could be the same as the night before but it must be random.

This would make it difficult for the wolves to spot but also there may be some overlap in dreams which could be detrimental to the villagers.

Morm, I like it. Both simple and interesting, and not so difficult to be Moderator for.

Well, considering that each person dies when the one they admire does, once one person got killed, it would start a chain reaction of admirer's dying. Could kill the whole village the first Day.

Although, I assume you mean that only the lynchee/wolf victim's admirer dies, and not the admirer's admirer.

Would the wolves be admirer's, too? Truthfully, it would seem like the wolves have too great a chance of dying if they did.

Has anyone ever planned a game where every wolf would have a lover? That could be great fun, and chaos.
