I think that we are going to have to place a prohibition on active players posting on this forum, except on purely administrative matters. There is just too much risk that any comments made will influence the game in progress (whether intentionally or not).

Regarding villagers' "double-lynching" concerns

From the rules:

Quote:
If no majority is reached as a result of more than two players accumulating votes, then a runoff is held and the two highest vote-getters are on the block. Anyone who didn't vote for them originally must now choose between the two of them to determine which person will be lynched. If there still isn't a majority by then, a tiebreaker is used. One of the players at risk places a dagger in one of two boxes, and the other player chooses one of those boxes to open. If the box with the dagger is opened, that player is killed.

I see your point and agree. I will adhere to a voluntary prohibition starting after this post of course.

I have been following these games with almost childlike glee.
I have a query on gameplay - if a cursed villager has become a werewolf, and is then lynched by the others, is it exactly the same, in terms of result, as if they had lynched a villager who was originally a werewolf at start of play?

Yes Lalaith.

Sono, I believe that rule was superseded in Saucepan Man's rules.

Thanks. So if a cursed villager is lynched, would the post-mortem announce exactly what he was, ie cursed and transformed?

Not everything is revealed during the game; some things are revealed only afterwards.

Thank you Eomer. Those of us who are just following the game are also speculating as to the outcome!
