So we have lost a Seer. That is a large setback. There are two main questions that come to my mind now:
1. Has he posted anything on the thread that could be useful to us? Any hints of possible balrogs he dreamt about during the Nights?
2. One thing that could be easily overlooked, why was he killed? Did the balrogs somehow guess his role? Or was it just a luck from their part? What were the motives? That may help in revealing the identity of the balrogs.
There were three nights. First before the game started, second after Day 1 and third after Day 2. On each of these nights (unless he forgot, which I doubt) TM aka Eärendil, may his light ever shine, has Seen someone. From Night 3, unfortunately, there's no information to be gathered. But if we can, we should try to conclude of whom he dreamt the Nights before.
To the second question, TM was, I believe, suspected quite enough for the balrogs to be left alive to create a possible subject for the lynch for the others. Or what do you others think about that? Whatever the case, I'd say we look for something that could have led the balrogs to think that he's a Seer. Who knows what we may learn by that - if such a thing exists, that is.
Now to the first question. But for this I really need to look through TM's posts.
