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.

I'd like to sign up, if it's not too late.... =x

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

Nogrod · 11-27-2007, 06:18 PM

I have one more proposition...

I received a PM from Kuru who said he would be away on the weekend with no net acces (meaning he would miss Day2) but would like to play. It would be so nice to see him on a game for such a long time that I will offer him a place as the 19th player.

That will definitively give us 4 wolves - if he comes along that is.

That in turn would only leave us the decision whether we take along all the three basic gifteds or should we try with only a seer and a ranger - or with only one of them?

PS. Welcome Shasta, please give us your hobbit surname...

My input (again):

If there are three wolves, then we only need a seer.

If there are four wolves, then we should have a seer and a ranger.

Either way, no hunter is necessary.

A no-gifted game would be interesting, but I think it'd only work in a smaller group...
