I felt like I had painted a target on her back, which I had not intended to do. The point of the will was to give one player a private incentive to kill a particular person that may or may not have been consistent with their other goals. I was a little surprised at how eager everyone was to share details about their items. If I had to do it over again, I might have prohibited talking about them.
This is probably due to the influx of the RM civvie culture. For what its worth, I don't think games that paint targets on the back of individuals are necessarily bad. Zombs did a very good job of working hard to turn it around, and bf was really the one who got lynched as a result of the info being shared. I don't think it is necessarily a negative either for the game or for the skill of an individual to have to go through a pressure test of having a target on their backs.
Of course, I would say that - I'm adept at painting a target on my own back by accident and then being forced into defending myself for the rest of the game.
