cobbler Wants to die (get lynched) and roots for the werewolves.

cursed villager The cursed villager doesn't know s/he's cursed. If s/he is killed by the werewolves, s/he becomes another werewolf; if the cursed villager is lynched by the village, the cursed villager just dies and identity remains unknown until the end of the game.

gifted villagers There are different kinds:

seer chooses one other villager to dream about each night; hopes to snag a werewolf.

ranger chooses a villager to protect each night; hopes to protect fellow gifted, especially seer.

hunter chooses one villager to hunt each night; hopes to pick a werewolf so that if the werewolves pick the hunter, both hunter and werewolf die.

shirriffs know who each other is. They can PM each other during the day.

Werewolves can only PM each other at night.

Hope that brief summary helps. Did I leave anything out?

Thanks, lmp, that's a lot clearer. So I guess by your description of shirrifs the normal villagers are now expressly disallowed from pm-ing one another. In earlier games it was merely frowned upon.

I would like to add something about the cobbler role. It doesn't do the role justice to simply say he wants to die. His/her goal is for the wolves to win so he will do whatever he/she can to aid that. If he needs to die to save a wolf he will. If she can vote for a double lynching of two who she suspects innocents she will. If the voting is close between a villager and somebody the cobbler expects is a wolf they won't kill the wolf. They will do anything they can to aid the wolves. Simply getting lynched the first day won't really help them that much. TORE played the role beautifully.

Do you mean they WON'T kill the wolf? Only that would make more sense in lieu of the rest of your post, mormegil. But your explanation makes a lot more sense, makes the cobbler a much more interesting role. Boy, I'm excited about this game!

The only players who have ever been allowed to PM each other are Shirriffs and Wolves. PM'ing for anyone else (except to the mod) has never been allowed. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Players may PM one another about non-game matters, can't they? Just to clear that up...

Yes; my post does seem to imply otherwise, though.

"A small problem if the game is long - I'm going downstate early Saturday morning, Aug. 20. If it's a choice of having an extra early (or long) DAY/NIGHT, or having someone step in for me for that one day, which would you choose?" ~Oddwen

I would be requesting a place in this game but the next few days are already all full so I won't really have time...however if the game lasts until the 20th and people want I will offer to Step in for Oddwen that day.

If it's needed...
