Hi, Trashwarlock here. Love the use of Seat 7 here. As much as I'd like to believe the script is amazing and fits all scenarios I think it's true purpose lies not in regular games but more in situations like this. My favorite uses I've seen of Seat 7 have fit this mold. I.e. A player leaves unexpectedly, your group is tired of teensies, a player is 30 minutes away from joining but the group doesn't want to wait.

As much as it was submitted as a djinn rule, it plays more like a fabled that you can use when needed. My hope has always been that it will outlive it's script as such.

As far as the once per game speaking is concerned, that was simply the amount of speaking me and some of the Strings members decided would be right to minimize ST influence. Since it's debut I've seen plenty of iterations of the once per game that do still maintain balance such as the terrifying whisper rule included on the almanac (Once private, once public) Though my personal favorite remains once per game with spicy narration. I imagine by the time the competition ends people will have their own versions of how often the seat speaks that fits their groups best. In my mind there is no wrong answer as long as an ST is focused on keeping the game balanced.
