Thanks Charlie,
OK, here's the current list of players. Anyone wishing to back out may do so... there are 19 players and I think that's a good number for what I have intended here...
I'll create a waiting list and anyone who chooses to drop before the game begins or decides to quit during the first day or so of the game, I will allow a replacement... any special role goes to the replacement. I know that will throw everyone off a little bit, but I've thought about this carefully and run a few models... everyone needs a full compliment...
OK, the current village is:

OK, to whet everyone's appetitie... I was going to save this, but I'll let everyone kind of discuss possible ideas, strategies, etc with each other and the newbies... I may post a few myself
The roles:
You are a villager. You are afraid of the wolves, but realize that you, as a group can overcome them. They are vulnerable in their human form and the town, each day will vote to lynch someone. Hopefully, you lynch a wolf.
You are the priest. Each night, you may pray for the safe delivery of a fellow villager. Your faith is such that your chosen diety will prevent that villager from being killed or turned by the forces of darkness. However, the saints will not protect from human actions (i.e. lynching or the hunter). You are selfless and will not be able to pray for yourself.
You are the Seer. Each night you may use candles, the bones of small animals, and various rituals to consult with the spirits to find evil in your village. The information you are provided only indicates the presence or absence of evil. Nothing more specific.
You are the hunter. Long ago, your grandfather told tales of a similar event in this very same village. After the villagers' victory, he crafted a single silver arrow. You may fire this arrow one time. It is however still an arrow and your skill will ensure the death of whomever it hits, hopefully a wolf.
You are a Man-at-Arms. You are a small group of the Baron's men are assigned to protect this tiny village. Your fellow men-at-arms are XXX, etc. You and they are not werewolves and you may communicate outside of the thread with these individuals.
You are a werewolf. You are a force of darkness that delites in the stalk and the kill. Your fellow wolfs are XXX, etc. You may communicate outside of the thread with these individuals. Each night of the full moon, you will decide on a villager to stalk and kill. If the Alpha Wolf is killed, there will be a 25% chance each night, that one of you will become the new Alpha.
You are the Alpha Wolf. You are the leader of this group of werewolves. Your fellow wolves are XXX, etc. You may communicate outside of the thread with these individuals. Each night of the full moon, you will decide on a villager to stalk and kill. In addition, if you live, but the rest of your packs drops below a certain level, you have a 50% chance of turning the villager you attack and making them a werewolf (who now works for you and may not communicate this fact to anyone else).
