What if Yoda just picked which special roles were handed out from a list of available ones. Maybe even allow duplicates, like 2 seers for example.

1. Yoda picks team goods specials (ie seer & hunter); from say a list of 5-6 powers.

2. Palpatine can pick berserker & protector; from a list of 5-6 powers.

I think vote block powers, emp powers also would be kind of cool.

Or something like that. Downside is that we have so few folks in this game, it could unbalance it if there are too many specials.

OR totally anoynimize it.

the shooter - a shot rings out from the dar, no one knows where it came from, but newcastle is now dead.

the seer - all of a sudden the group is awashed with an awareness the know is true - newcastle, unagi are innocent villagers while BB2112 is an evil wolf.


You handle their powers with a sheen of "unknown". Folks wont know who the seer nor shooter is. Just throwing it out there.

I often wonder what a full on everyone has a power type game would look like. Obviously the wolves would need to be on steroids. Might be interesting to do just to spice up oour WW lives.

I think that for the seer, they would be too powerful. They could "announce" every night with no true fear of getting killed by the wolves.. The wolves would have to get rid of them by shear luck..
I do like the idea of mixing up the games though with new trial rules. Over time, we could develop our own solid house rules.

Does that mean he can not cast the final vote to create a tie (I am assuming) or that he can not cast that vote nor a vote to send it to night at 3-2 good versus bad with Qi dead as that effectively ends the game too? I'm assuming his only restriction is the 3-2 vote makes it 2-2 case rather than 4-2 vote makes it 3-2 case.
