Nonsense, nonsense! We don't need more gifted! If our village is getting larger, what we need are more wolves! (I don't know about this 'Thing' thing, if you catch my meaning.)

In a mafia game, if the game as has eight players, say, there are two mafia, a sherrif, and a nurse. If the number leaps to 15, there are 4 mafia, 1 sherrif and 1 nurse - not more gifted, merely more wolves.

Don't you see? In a village that is large, the villagers have a ton of advantage if there are only three wolves because tehre are lots of people to spare. To make it more challenging, therefore, we should not up the number of gifted, but rather the number of badies.

Oh, wait a moment. . .do we only have one gifted? A seer? Don't we need some protector or other? If we don't have a ranger/nurse, then I would move to say that we need one.
