Good call, Roa. If she doesn't do it this game, she probably will in the future.

Or how about this-

In this game the wolves win only if they are all lynched! Their goal is to be killed. The village must lynch someone every day, only they try as hard as possible to lynch non-wolves instead of wolves. That sound like something Fea would do.

Hee hee. Not that you intended it, but "Úcenite Valto" can be rearranged to spell "taut violence".

Seems applicable.

You've found me out again. How do you keep doing it?

Ugh! Can I keep no secrets?

Úcenite = "not-seeing" (source: quenya lapseparma)

Valto = "luck" (source: ambar-eldaron)

"blind luck/chance" looks like the Quenya definition of the title...

The no wolves scenario also occured to me .... but maybe it will be yet more devious.... certainly it won't be dull....

Oh Phantom, really Kate Beckinsale was read languages at Cambridge (or Oxford I forget.. so she probably is brighter than me.... maybe I should have said I am wider than Kate B .. which is certainly true alas....

"Blind luck", eh Esty?

You know what that means. Everyone polish your coins, cause we're going to be doing some flipping.

But why, I wonder? Perhaps the gifts (ranger, hunter) and the curses (werewolves) switch people every night randomly, so the same person is usually not a wolf two days in a row. So when we lynch someone who has the werewolf curse, we haven't actually found someone who's been a WW all along- we've merely found a person who just happened to be one on that day, and eliminated one of the three WW curses that is bouncing around in the village.

And you're just trying to be modest, Mith. I know better.

phantom, if that isn't Fea's plan for the game, I sincerely suggest you mod one yourself in the new future and implement it because it sounds like a fantastic idea.

Maybe next summer, Kath.

And I just noticed Di has been added. In the words of Magneto, "Welcome to the brotherhood".
