Interesting. I wonder, then, if the cynic is forbidden from telling the witch their identity, or if the witch doesn't know from the start but the cynic can let them know.

The phrasing is also interesting - is it just me, or does it indicate that there is only one witch?

Btw, I wonder if the cynic counts as a witch when it comes to our winning conditions - do we need to eliminate them as well, or do they just lose when the witches get lynched?
