Nice narrations!

But as echoing slightly some things Rikae and Boro have said already, I think there is a problem in early written narrations. And that is not a problem of quality of writing but how it relates to what happened in the game.

At least to me it is always fun to read narations that actually mirror things that happened during the Day and how people actually related to each other in the game - and when I mod a game myself I try to stick as closely I can to real suspicions and votes - and the ways they were made. So if someone is reluctant to kill someone that will be shown in the narration; or when certain people vote for the succesful lynch they are also the ones to do it in the narration etc.

To me, it's kind of mod's skill-requirement to catch the air of the Day and to turn it into a narrative - which of course shouldn't reveal anything.

But I know some others have differing views about the matter. Why not make a few comments on the issue here now as it has been brought forwards?
