Holmgang was a blast, but aside from Gods being revealed when they faced one another it was limited as a detection tool. It really only showed when one party was significantly weaker than another (at least usually, but not always) but not why the strong one was stronger.

Both have claimed peasantish roles with a score of "2." Do we know if this is a high or low score this time around? I'd guess lower is weaker, but assuming with Reenk in charge isn't necessarily wise.

Also, I like the reference to plots and counter plots -- signals that the mafiosi aren't the only power roles here (though that is not a huge surprise).
