super-mega-reverse-vote ljfa, on the premise that as a tanner he'd make a way bigger effort to get a town win rather than just his own win.

My Notes:
This was... not the most well-planned game of WW ever GM'ed. I had to revise and clarify too many parts during the game for my own liking, but it's good that they were pointed out, questioned, and clarified; I'll be sure in the future to try harder to avoid mistakes and loopholes.

- Spwn got super lucky in identifying the Yoma on the first night, and killing him on the second.
- Pyure and Shaz were very talkative and helpful to my noobiness, and also a source of many of the corrections I needed to make. Kudos to you guys.
- Having two Tanners seems at this point to have been a mistake, due to the confusion that arose over their win conditions. Still, it was... interesting to see the chaos.
- For some reason, J didn't guard anyone on this last night. Perhaps I should have pinged him. :/
- A wild Leth appeared, twice.
- Yeah, I really didn't give out a lot of information during the game at all. Sorry about that everyone.

Technically though, ljfa didn't win twice, only onbce. His village win condition, "Survive until all the wolves are dead" is made null by him actually dying. Just saying.
I think the you did a fantastic job, especially considering the forum downtimes. Some feedback...
Only 1 tanner would have been best.
Considering the number of people in the game, I would have rather have 4 wolves (perhaps replacing the vampire?), especially considering one is a suicide role.
I'd like to play this game again at some point, once you've made your tweaks Eru.
Eru this was a great game. And an awesome showing by all the wolves. Particular nod to erindalc who I was 90% convinced when he phoned me up with a sophisticated "I trust you" pm. Only my natural paranoia prevented me from giving info there.
None of the wolves ever really slipped up much. I gave SO37 and ljfa both interrogations and I couldn't get nothin. I was half convince cheese was a genius wolf watching us all mangle each other :/ (RJS was half prepared to lynch sgbros AND cheese before SO37 I think)
1 more wolf might have been good but honestly we got a bit lucky with both the erindalc faux-kill and an early Yoma death. When the town nearly lynched me I genuinely thought it was gg. Balance was actually a lot better than most games with several power actions. The role info does need cleaning up for what I definitely hope is another run.
So...how on earth did spanx snipe the Yoma so early...?

I'd like to point out real quick that I got the_j lynched because he said the other guard and I said there was no other guard and there was another guard. So that happened.
Why on earth do villagers all have neutral-style survive win conditions and the wolves don't? I'm just realizing now that killed townies can't win, that's a bit...silly considering town can't prevent themselves from dying. Oh well I consider it a win regardless.
Also, I don't like the alternatively named villagers. It makes it much harder for a wolf to slip by a rolecall, which is good for the village but very bad for the wolves. If a rolecall is called in that sort of situation, and you claim the wrong villager type, you're dead purely on RNG.
Like me, dying night one? There's nothing I can do to stop that. I mean I would understand lynched villagers losing, but not wolf/yoma killed. I mean what's a baker to do when the wolves come knocking? Offer them some cookies and hope they don't eat my face for desert?
Technically the town players all won. The roles listed under "winning" above all survived until the end of the game. I should have called it "Survivors"
Good game all!
There was a ton of discussion going around, especially during the first few days. The town played this one very well.
Game design poll: Do simple-ish games (less roles, less complexity) promote discussion more than complex ones? Justify your answer. Contextual evidence. Worth 10% of the final grade.

I find games with less emphasis on powers means people chatter more. Otherwise peeps tend to sit back and wait for powers to win the game one way or the other.
Some ppl of course just don't like vanillagers, but you can't please everyone.
