Re: [werewolf] Options: recruiting and simultaneous nights

I agree aesthetically but am concerned that this would
mean the game would practically be over in a single
bite!  Thoughts to counterbalance?  Does "bite" not
always work?  If so, I would make the chance slimmer
for a mason (all those damned meetings) and a seer
(too much incense, yuck) but not impossible.  Of
course this would leave to wolf no knowing if he
simply got unlucky!
