Let's see. Assuming a worst case scenario that there are two wolves and that
Sally is one of them... (But not factoring in Nimrodel and any hunting she might do.)
Scenario A - sacrificial wolf Shasta
Day 3 - starts with 5 innocents, 2 wolves.
We kill a guilty
Shasta on a wolf-
Sally's advice.
5 innocents, 1 wolf.
Night 4. The wolf kills an innocent.
4 innocents, 1 wolf.
Day 4. If the true Seer died on Day 3 or Night 4, we kill a guilty
Sally. Game over, village victory.
If the Seer is still alive, they come forward. Believing
Sally, we kill the true Seer.
3 innocents, 1 wolf
Night 5. The wolf kills an innocent.
2 innocents, 1 wolf.
Day 5. The remaining two innocents kill the guilty
Sally. Game over, village victory.
So, I think that a sacrificial wolf
Shasta would not work.
Scenario B - innocent Shasta
Day 3 - starts with 5 innocents, 2 wolves.
We kill an innocent
Shasta on a wolf-
Sally's advice.
4 innocents, 2 wolves.
Night 4. Wolves kill an innocent.
3 innocents, 2 wolves.
Day 4. We kill a guilty
Sally.
3 innocents, 1 wolf.
Night 5. The wolf kills an innocent.
2 innocents, 1 wolf.
Day 5. Vote decides the matter between two innocents and one wolf. Game over, could go to wolves or could go to village. However, if the true Seer had had any useful dreams to tell us at some point or we had additional info, that could make the odds better.
Is my reasoning in the above scenarios correct?
