Ok. I try it once more.

The Logical hunter:
- Picks someone "to watch", and can change her pick any time of the Day or Night. So basically she might chance her pick every five minutes... (that would be annoying to us though). So unlike the Seer and the Ranger, she is free to change her mind when she wishes.
- If she has picked a wolf and the wolves come to kill her during the night, she will kill the wolf she has picked - and dies herself, of course. If she has picked a villager, she is "caught unawares" by the wolves and no one else dies.
- Hunter-lynch: if she has picked one of those who have voted for her she will take that one with her when lynched. Here is the clue to our idea. When the Hunter sees / suspects that she will be lynched, she will have to start checking those who have voted for her. So whether to try to play safe and pick someone who has not voted for her (so that no innocents die), or whether to try take someone with her (picking someone who has voted for her) and take the consequences: killing a villager, posssibly a gifted - or become the hero and take a bandwagoning wolf with her. That should provide the Hunter some nerve-wrecking hours before the deadline...

Retractables:
In Kath's game right now underway we saw again some toying with the retractables (there is unlimited number of them in that game). I personally don't like that - and Lommy neither (at least she says so in the game - that might be bluff, surely... ). But I would suggest one retraction / Day for RL reasons. One doesn't always know, whether one is able to come back before the deadline. So in this situation the possibility of retracting your vote once would help a lot as you could secure that you vote - and would have the possibility of recasting your vote in a situation where you actually manage to come back before the deadline and see that things have changed.

But that's up to you.

And yes, welcome Roa and phantom! Nice to see you here!
