Neither wizard can be killed, except by each other.

So I take it that if the village tries to lynch one of them, their identity will pretty much be revealed.

That would very fortunate for the EW and the wolves

Yes, yes, my scenario is not likely, but insane turns of events happen in these games, and if the GW reveals himself immediately he has basically ensured a good-guy loss should anything unlucky happen, as it would give the EW the power to end the wizard phase on his terms.

I don't think the wizards should give that power away unless a particular situation calls for it.

What would happen, pray tell, in the very unlikely scenario that we end up with just the two wizards left?

Yes.

Except that the evil wizard's primary concern will almost always be to have as many werewolves around as possible, so if he can avoid being killed, it's still possibly to his advantage to get another werewolf even if the good wizard can get another gifted, because the werewolves are assured of a kill whereas the seer is not assured of discovering a werewolf.

It is indeed debatable whether the good wizard would want to reveal. I can see positives and negatives going in both directions with it. It'll be interesting to see how it falls out in this game.

Oh ..... We'll settle on 6 pm EDT. (4 CST, 5 CDT, 10 GMT ... & probably 6am Philipino time... ?)

the phantom's predictions for the game....

1) The Good Wizard will drop a couple hints so small that no one will notice on day three, and then on day four of the game he/she will outright declare. At the end of the game when all scries, roles, dreams and such are revealed, it will be seen that the GW made a wise decision in the time and manner of his/her disclosure.

2) Most will see the wizard duel coming the day before it happens, even if both the wizards are not known.

3) A werewolf-uncursing/gifted-ungifting will occur three times.

4) The wolves will kill a gifted once before the wizards die.

5) Someone who is unwolfed will be turned right back the next night.

6) If there is more than one seer in the course of the game, both will dream of me.

7) Neither wizard will scry/curse me at any point, believing that I am too obvious.

8) At least one wolf will put forth a strong opinion about me every night- either "kill him please" or "leave him alive, he's unwittingly helping us".

9) The majority of the EW's lies to his/her wolves will have the desired result, but one lie in particular will backfire badly due to unforseen circumstances.

10) For the first time ever, Sauce and I will not suspect each other in the least.

11) The game will be very fun.

Wrong thread, phantom.

Anyways, so that's 6 AM our time? Hehe. Expect early votes. But you already knew that.

By the way, if anyone's interested, I still don't have a husband. Currently accepting applications.

Here Lhuna, look at Eonwe:

She said yes! She said yes--wait a minute . . .

dancing spawn of ungoliant Felagund is too long, isn't it?

I'll join with a question mark on my head, though it will all depend on my status during the start of the game.

I shall be an ex-prophet, recently stripped of his gifts after an incident involving honey and crickets.

Lhunardawen · 05-01-2006, 06:06 AM

I was under the impression he would want to remain unattached...

Eonwe · 05-01-2006, 07:06 AM

Not necessarily, ma'am. A woodsman needs a good companion to help run the homestead. It gets mighty lonely.
