Admin thread says:

Dionysus – God of Wine – Dionysus is the Cursed. If the Wolves choose to Night kill him, he will join their ranks. Only the player and I will know that they are Dionysus. I will not reveal the Cursed until the end of the game.

So if the Cursed is killed before being turned, I read that as saying they'll be revealed as an ordo at the time.
And that's possible about the Dionysus / wine connection, but steve is only what, 16?

The Steve-slip is an interesting thing. It seems a little bit too bold unless he wants to be lynched so he isn't night-killed. Hmmm it bears close watching and I will definitely be waiting for that explanation as long as it doesn't come too late in the Day.

The problem for Dionysos actually is, how to get the wolves to pick him - for the wolf-role sure is what most would go for... So he has to do something to get their eyes on him - and the wolves would love an added one into their numbers as well, mind you.

This reminds me of a discussion we had in another game - and I think Steve was there too. Some of us would feel obliged, as a cursed villager, to make ourselves known so that the village could lynch us if turned.

If Steve is the cursed, chances are the wolves won't turn him now, anyway, since he'd be toast immediately and they'd probably rather get rid of an innocent during the night than turn a cursed who will die the next day. So really, he helped the village whether he intended to or not.

Incidentally, because of the above, I tend to think there isn't much point in a cursed knowing they're cursed. Either they aren't really playing as an ordo when they technically are, or they don't get to play as a wolf if turned.

For the record, I'm anti-crime.

That's not what I meant. I mean, if the cursed is turned during the night, will the narration indicate this? If so, we can just lynch Eonwe after the cursed is turned, if he is.

Is he? Didn't know that. I believe in the UK the drinking age is 18...

I don't know the answer to that. If there's no kill and we aren't told the reason why, it would make it bloody hard to figure out. Was the Cursed found? Did the Ranger or Guardian Hunter block it? I'll ask on the Admin Thread.

Meta, I know. I remember from the birthday thread.
