Sorry to hear.
I was mostly happy with the results (we got to LYLO and had an interesting final day), but I definitely made mistakes and have regrets. This was largely an experimental run of a format we've never tried before.

I agree. I was worried that you'd all tell your requests and numbers and the game would be broken.
re. JKDS's flip:
It was the first flip in the game, and it was of a hidden role. I wasn't prepared for that. I thought I had handled it cleverly, but then I reflected on that and saw that I had fumbled.
Please note that I DID clarify and that I did so in a timely manner (before the thread was opened for D2).
I just didn't have everything worked out as far as the particulars go. As I alluded to earlier, there was very little time to actually create a balanced game. The mini-mages started a little late. They took up time and I got the sense that players were impatient to play WW and not mini-games. I was expecting ~13 players, so my notions of what possible games could play out were bad.

How this is different from other games?

I'm pretty sure that this can't be allowed. You are clearly talking numbers.
If you all share your numbers, then the roles and alignments can be figured out w/o any WW game.

Yeah. I overestimated the damage to the integrity of the game.
The reason I didn't explicitly state as much in this game is:
I tried to hint at it a couple of times... feelings -> talkings gif.
I felt that the wolves figuring out how to do it w/o breaking the rules was evidence that the village could do so as well.
I felt that since the wolves figured it out w/o my help, that it wouldn't be fair to blatantly tell the village.
I'm not feeling too guilty over this decision. You'll need to try again to convince me this was a problem.
