er thanks I think ....

But you are right, if you are gifted you have to try to be involved and constructive enough in the debate not to get lynched without making yourself a prime target for the night's kill. If you succeed at that you then look as if you are "flying under the radar" which of course is the default suspicion mode round about day 3 if the villagers have had no luck with the more evident suspects.

Should you last any longer, and have a "reputation" then you will be found suspicious because you aren't dead. All the time you are thinking about the best use of your gifts and the slightly different perspective does make you seem different. For example when Saucey said I had backtracked in my attack on him, I had simply at that moment decided to vote for Spawn and find out about SpM in my dream.

It is not surprising that gifteds rarely survive the games.
