To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a contradiction in the rules...

Ah, well there goes that strategy. In the last game I wanted both Wizards to scry me the same night so that the EW would be revealed to the GW, but doing a move like that in this game would simply kill me.

And I agree with my father on this point-

And then there was this-

After the Wizard Duel, the wolves learn each other's identity. Do the gifteds do that, too? I ask because usually the seer's identity is unknown to the other gifteds.
Even if the gifteds are not "told" each other's identities by the Mod, I do not believe there is any rule to stop the GW from sending them all a message telling them "The Seer is..." and so on. Of course if one of them gets ungifted and then the next night turned into a WW the GW will regret his decision, but that's just a risk you have to be willing to take. Plus there are ways to guard against that sort of thing.

I see I haven't posted my profession yet. I am a fortune-teller - folklorist - herb-grower - unofficial therapist, advisor and midwife, so most presumably a witch.

No satanic rituals? What kind of witch are you?

Well, if occupations are recommended, then I'll be a highwayman.

Though I don't find the idea of the GW having such an ability, I do find the risk they'll encounter if they pick their gifted too late a rather fair balance. At first I was a bit perturbed that it would cause the game to fraction into too many subgroups, the same as with the EW ability.

Hee hee.

So I'm safe to guess that means people care only then?
What about all of the needy and feral furry children?
