*frowns* well i didn't say i am all for teh plan. just analyzing the possiblities. the whole thing rests on the leader. i have to say, i remain quite sceptical. especially this early. see, suposing we elect an innocent. we all vote according to what he (ehem, generically, for those who care) tells us to do. if we catch a wolf, fine. if not, we killed a villager, are probable going to kill another (well, we would have to see how it played out), but the real thing is, we didn't do any good. the wolfs are still completely innvisible and we have no hints.
no supposing we ellect a wolf. that is a whole new can of worms, although not so differetn. if we kill a wolf fine. now it breaks down into suspicion. is our leader a wolf covering hmself. is our leader a lucky innocnet. can we trust him cuz he's right? should be mistrust him cuz he's right. if we kill an innocnet, not much really changes. is he an unlucky innocnet. did he choose an innocnet to protect a wolf?
all in all, i guess it has its merrits, but not until much later on. put yourself in the leaders place. we are asking him to be answerable for all the choises we would indiviually be making. right now, that would be a very, very hard task, very very likely he would get lynched for it.
so, my final thoughts on the plan are taht it could be used. but only later. and i think we should have a know innocent at the helm, at very least.
hopefully that will clarify my position and return me to your good graces glirdan.
ps. we have just wittenessed that great ambiguousness we call werewolf. to trust or not to trust. there are just so many ways to cut teh cake, if you take my meaning.
