You are totally exaggerating the situation. Not very many ploys have been done, and to my knowledge they all have been explained in detail.

So this business about turning aside every suspicion via ploys and not allowing people to talk- that's simply not true.

Incorrect. I can answer this.

The Wolf-bait ploy: That I am perfectly open with the fact that I am but a Seer-shielding Ordo does not negatively impact the ploy, for the Werewolves know good and well that I might do the same exact thing as the Seer. They fear this, and thus feel compelled to kill me despite my declaration that it is a trick.

On one hand the WWs desperately want me dead. On the other hand, it is possible that to be killed is exactly what I want, so they are equally compelled not to use the kill on me.

What is the obvious solution?

Kill me, but not with a Night kill.

In other words, get me lynched.

And has anyone noticed? That's the direction the wind has started to blow. All of you, put aside your suspicion of me for a moment and read through that explanation again. Pretend that someone you trust wrote it. It makes perfect sense, and I believe that that is exactly what is happening here in this village.

Anyway, thanks for asking that, Green.

Any other questions? I'm innocent, and I'm here to help. You might want to try and talk with me rather than suspect me simply for being buddy-buddy with someone else who, according to the odds of this village, has a 75% chance of being innocent.
