The Witness role is seriously broken in these games. Seriously, it gives the villagers a free wolf. At least with the other roles they have to match wits with the wolves.
I would seriously hope that moderators looking to use this role will come up with some way of mitigating this - perhaps allowing them to submit a list of three names the first night, two names the second night, and a single name the third night to watch. If the wolves aren't going after those targets, then the witness is out of luck.
I actually dislike this rule more than conversions. I just hate being converted, but don't think that the mechanic is fatally flawed in most games.
