Personally, the issue means nothing to me, as we'll know soon enough if there is a werebear (by the number of kills ToNight) and a cobbler, while dangerous, is not a pressing matter until later in the game. .

While I agree with much of what you said three little points :

1,Go on! Mod sometime, you'll love it ...

2, Because we don't know about rangers, a single kill tonight wouln't absolutely exclude a werebear.

3, I wish my last village had relised that about cobblers

I don't see what is so suspicious about Roa ..we all know she likes to get peopletalking and likes to analyse. Since this game has more or less unlimited variables it doesn't give her much to work on so what else to talk about is the possibilities. And she is spot on to say that it is suspicius for gifteds to declare. For myself I will almost vote to lynch anyone who declares as a hunter this game. I always think it is self defeating for a hunter to declare and this game where there could be no hunters or two hunters it would make a great cover for a wolf.

Other roles used but not mentioned are Shirriffs and wasn't there a weaver once ..I remember talk of it but not if it were actually used and what it did.

Mythomaniacs previously don't take their role until Night 2 since the idea is that it is a choice informed by the first day's observation.

Well I will have to get back to work in a couple of minutes ..I hope that it is a bit livelier when I return....... actually that is a bit of a cert since Noggin should be arount ....

I'd rather a more important gifted (the Hunter isn't that important) declared themselves rather than letting themselves be killed. THat would be a huge blow, losing a gifted by our own hands.

Of course it is a blow but if a ranger declares they will die that night anyway and a seer may not be able to be protected. Given that there are no retractables, what do we do? Sacrifice an innocent in all likelihood then provide the wolves with a "no brainer" kill. Obviously individual circumstances apply but IAm speaking from the perspective of someone who panicked into declaring both times and it was less than ideal...

It's better to lynch anybody and have a chance of getting a wolf than to lynch a Seer/Ranger. If they are in a position where they are likely to be lynched, that means they will die anyway. They may as well declare, let the wolves get them at night and let the village try to get a wolf in the day rather than killing the gifted.

Like you, I am talking generally and individual circumstances apply. In any case it will be up to the gifted when they're about to snuff it to decide what to do. No point speculating any further.

Now, I take into account her time zone problem as that is why I myself have to vote now.

If you have to vote, you have to vote. And if you only have one miserable suspect then you might vote for that one, though you would rather not.


I don't want to defend Roa ( ), but I don't see anything suspicious about her first post. There was nothing else to talk about at the time but roleplay, and her points make sense. It's better to state that gifteds have a more difficult task revealing themselves early on Day One than when the situation is at hand and everybody panics.

Not so pessimistic, my Chieftain! There are more stupid wolves than one might think, and even smart wolves can be caught early.. sometimes.


I would suggest to not be too strict about my companion in wizardry, the Sixth Wizard. It's not nice to lynch somebody on the first Day of his first game, especially when he's no longer there to defend himself.

Oh really? Perhaps you can tell us more, Mr Mac the Magician... I wouldn't be surprised to find such a man shapeshifting at night!
