I understand that scenario, and I think that the GM should probably call it on a case-by-case basis. If the JL has all of the remaining villagers together, and they have a powerful group of traits left: Leader, Hunter, Brutal, OEO, GA, something like that, then why penalize them by ending a game that they could potentially win?
This discussion started from a game last September or August. In that game when parity was reached the village had far from lost.
MC, that's speaking from an RP perspective. Strictly speaking, from an RP perspective, how does this make sense given the backstory to your current Big game? In your game, both the village and the baddies represent human characters.
Then why did you relate the reasoning for a game mechanic existing to RP? If we're talking purely game mechanics here, then why should villagers who have potentially put in a lot of effort, who have saved their traits and kept a powerful JL alive in order to still have a shot of winning at parity instantly lose?
It's impossible for the village to coordinate properly. As soon as you start handing active, good players losses because the rest of the village made a mistake is the second that you start penalizing good players. Sometimes even a good JL cannot prevent the wolves from killing most of the villagers, and I understand how some players could say GG, well played wolves. But to me, this penalizes players who could have made a difference but suffered because of the incompetence of their peers.
MISSION: Refocus the Werewolf General Planning Thread back onto Werewolf.
STATUS: Accomplished.
Nah it is better to leave this thread for WW general planning; I will send you a PM continuing our discussion later tonight.
