Nay, Nogrod, nay. With the lynch seer and numbers of votes, the village already had a very big advantage (although perhaps that would have changed had people known about the cobbler?) The Shade made it impossible.

Thumbs up What a great game, what a great game!

I really pity that I missed most of it, but even then it was pretty intense. Loved it! Huh, and there were some lovers present? And even a cobbler - who was one of them? No clue

I must say, from my point of view, you all played fantastically - even the newcomers, I hope you all stay with us for some more games! And yes, it's highly addictive

Though we didn't, as Vampires, end that well (here I agree with Eo that we were really a little bit overpowered, at least when Kitanna decided to side with the villagers - with so many already known innocents, it was really a killer), I must say it was nice. Even the lynch seer rule, which I at first was skeptical about if it would ever be applied, was used pretty well. And it was really interesting to see the innocents speculate about the voting lists! Now taking to mind that there was a cobbler present, it was maybe not that unbalanced (although it was him who lynched me...)... so basically, the closing point is that the rules were okay, only the Shade shouldn't be allowed to win together with the village if they have more than six members or something like that

And I must say, Volo, my death narration was really brilliant. As well as all the narrations. Once again, great game!

P.S. But whether we have lost, you must agree that Gil was a great Vampire! I am quite convinced that with some luck he might even yet make it!

With only one game of this nature behind us I think it's pretty hard to say anything definitive. I mean there are very basic games where the village wins in three days (I've been in one!) and those where the wolves finally carry the last villager to the death.

I mean there are too many particular variables that have only been tried once.

F.ex. if I was the shade, I probably wouldn't have dreamt of any of you three and at least you Eomer would still roam free, probably Gil would be alive as well and Day5 going with two vamps...

Or had Legate had more time to upgrade his playing from Day1 and he might pretty well have escaped the attention he caught...

Etc...

But I agree with you that the villagers did have the numbers on their side - even with the cobbler included. And also in the long run the voting tallies might have revealed the cheaters - were there any such persons left alive who would care to go through all of them to make the calculations...

And I think you're also right with what you say about the cobbler-role. Had we known there is a cobbler among us I think some lynchings might have gone the other way they did...
