Which would demonstrate that if a villager sent the philosopher to a player who showed up at the Senate the next day, that player was most likely good.

I think this game was fairly balanced. Every mechanic could cut two ways, and there were safeguards against any single mechanic being exploited.

The more I hear about the rules, the more inclined I am to agree with ya st.c.
