Why would anyone drink poison willingly?  Also, you do not explicitly say that drinking the poison causes the chance of death.

Yes, it is unlikely that anyone would drink poison willingly.  Town meetings can be used to force someone to drink poison, or there may be some way later to poison someone else.  I just wanted to get this mechanic out there; it seems like a better route than just lynching random people.

But lynching adds excitement and paranoia and mob mentality.  Anyway, I’m not sure there’s much of a difference between having a town meeting to lynch someone and having a town meeting to make them drink poison?  If no one know who the poison affects, it’s not really much of a litmus test.

There are problems with the wording. As Oracular rufio pointed out, It’s unclear if drinking or simply possessing (or even making) the poison causes death. also, is it intentional that i could create a poison that targets all villagers with names beginning with the letter ‘T’? I do like the idea of awarding extra acuity points for certain actions.

The game of Russian Roulette is always exciting, most of all to the competitors. Could it be added that if after a vote, a game of russian roulette is decided, then the nominated players shall take the poison. 

you willingly take the poison? so its a suicidal action? i don’t see how this is usefull.

Can be used for a safer way to test someone for werewolfness. Such as if wolfsbane wont kill a human, only a wrewolf, it’s a safer way to test someone.  It has some randomness too, to make things uneasy for all.

The werewolves wont like the apothacary.

I’m not sure the ruling allows for a town meeting to make someone drink poison… (Can’t study too much at the moment.)

as all of the above

I like it; the numbers are wide enough to stop it being an effective lynch replacement or an everybody-drink-now test, and it’s good that the Apothecary could be a werewolf.

Don’t like this kind of dice-rolling.

Uh…there should be a way to poison another citizen.  What kind of guy would drink poison willingly!?!

We could easily make people drink poison through Town Meeting proposals, or by simply threatening them (“drink this or we’ll propose to lynch you”).

I guess.

At some point we might have to fix the wording to make it clear that drinking it has the effect, but having thought it all over, I’m going to COV for now:
