Diamond ~ wife (no children) ~ Battledore Maker -- Made the wicker beaters

I think I can see why people might be reluctant to marry Diamond…and even if she is married why she might not have kids.

I also have another question I didn't realize before I was going to have.

If the evil wizard chooses a gifted villager to curse, the gifted villager loses the gift but does not turn into a werewolf ... this time. The good wizard is informed of the loss of the gifting.

-and-

The gifteds know who the good wizard is; the good wizard may PM the gifteds during the Day, and the gifteds may PM the good wizard during the Day. They do not know who each other is unless the good wizard tells them. (why wouldn't the good wizard tell the gifteds who each other is?)

I didn't know that second bit was going to be part of the deal. I think this does have the potential to tip the balance to the werewolves a little too much.

Think about it. The Evil Wizard curses a gifted. Nothing happens (or at least to the Evil Wizard it seems like nothing happens). Alarm bells go off that something is up. The natural thing is to either try to kill them or curse them again. If I were the Evil Wizard I'd try to curse them again because I'd want to know who they were and what they knew. Since the recently double cursed and new werewolf will know the identity of the Good Wizard (at least) and the other gifteds (possibly)...I'm sure you can see where I am going with this.

That at least is one reason why the Good Wizard would not want to tell the gifteds about the others.

I think the danger to the Good Wizard here is rather...large.

Unless there is some rule I missed reading about not being able to curse the same person two nights in a row (which I'm not sure this would solve the problem) I don't think there is any mitigating factor to this built into the rules.

I humbly submit to His Excellent Modship that this issue needs to be addressed.

I would have sent this by PM, except I figured that since the Official Announcement has been made, all rule discussions were better done in the open.
