If there's still room, sign me up! I don't think I have ever experienced a completely classic game...
oh, and I'll go as Rikae Took. What else? ![]() |

Welcome Rikae!
And what else... well there are a few questions we should talk before the game begins and I'd be happy to hear comments from all of you. Most importantly about the number of gifteds and the wolves... With 17 people on board right now (and possibly 18 in the end) I'd be inclined to have four wolves and at least a seer and a ranger. But your words will count until the start of Night1 With this sized village I have already decided to allow multiple lynchings. I'm sending preliminary rules into the game thread in a moment. I'll leave a few things open at this stage though.

Well, looking at the large size of the game, I think it'd only be fair to the villagers to have a seer and ranger (especially if there are four wolves).
A hunter is possible as well, but I'd be quite okay if we went without one.

Or without some ranger or whatever, but with only three wolves. I would like that variant more (someone spoke about "classic" here and I hoped for a "lighter" game), but if you want seers and rangers and hunters and four wolves, whatever.
Personally, I would be for avoiding at least the hunter. Second (less important) thing in the order is that I would like to avoid four wolves. Third, I would like to try to make it even without the Ranger. The last is with a really big questionmark given our numbers. But I'm only saying that because you asked, Nog.

Okay.
Let's make it this way. We will probably have 18 players (but it can be 17 as well). Here are my suggestions: 1. 4 wolves & 3 gifteds (seer, ranger, hunter) 2. 3 wolves & the seer 3. 3 wolves & the ranger 4. 3 wolves - no gifteds Which one would you prefer or do you have better ideas? The reasoning for the above choices: 1. The higher number of wolves is balanced by having all the gifteds in (and the hunter would be the so called logical one ie. s/he wouldn't kill an innocent during a Night if attacked but only a wolf - if hunting one). 2. Big village but only three wolves so only one gifted ie. the seer. 3. Big village but only three wolves so only one gifted ie. the ranger. 4. Big village and a challenge for the villagers with no help balanced by there being "only" three wolves.

Only to apply what I said on these options you posted, I am for No.2., eventually No.4. if there is really interest in a no-gifted game. I am strongly against No.1.
Good night ![]()

I kind of like the idea of number 1. That might just be the fact that I've never been a gifted, though. =P
