Ah, that might be possible.

So if there are equal numbers of villagers (the shade not included) and wolves left the wolves win but the shade somehow manages to not get sucked all the blood from her/him?

I gave this a second thought and can't see that as a reasonable ruling. So it must be that the vampire-ranger is there to protect one of her/his fellows during the Nights from the shade only.

Maybe we'll have some light shed on these later.

sigh... i have to submit again...

I was the first to give my name on the board so i demand to be on the list and at the top of the list!

It sounds like the Shade is just a Serial Killer with a few extra powers: the win condition being, be the last person alive.

I'mnot a fan of vampires, but this looks far too interesting to pass up. Besides, SPM, Boro, and Eomer are reappearing- I have to be involved! Sign me up, I'll PM the rest to you, Volo.

Um, I may be missing something here, but, assuming that the villagers are allowed to discuss who to vote for, can't they simply agree to lynch the three Vampires on the first three Days, leaving it as a struggle between the villagers and the Shade? Even if the Vampire Ranger and/or the Vampire Hunter make some lucky picks, the odds look stacked against the Vampires to me (especially as the Seer will be able to ascertain the Vampire Gifted roles within three Nights).

And it doesn't look like it will be much fun for the three known Werewolves, whose only challenge will be in exercising their "Gifted" roles. They don't even get to vote.

Or am I being incredibly stoopid and missing something obvious?

Volo, please keep me as a question-mark for now. I still need to work out whether I will have sufficient time for the game (which depends, to a degree, on the answers to the various rule questions which have been raised).

Uh, guys, I'm pretty sure Volo was joking about the Vampires....

That's what I thought too...he's gotta be joking... Or is he?

Does this mean I'm going to have to move to Finland if I want to be come a Vampire too?

I kind of have to agree with Noggie on this one. While I do like the idea of gifted baddies and hidden votes, combining both in one game may put the innocents at a great disadvantage.

I don't know...but perhaps we all just need some further explanations...

Also, 16:00 GMT - that's 4pm GMT, right? Sorry, I just get easily confused by these things...
