On which note, let's remember that we now do have information about someone's role– and unlike most people who drop out early, Roa was in the thick of things.

This again: the post is manipulative and confusing. "It's one of those things a player is not allowed to produce evidence for" - that's where Roa thought he was trying to hint that he was a seer. One of the other gifteds could fit here, too - and we know that Roa wasn't trying to mislead us now.
I know– or think I know– what Nogrod's talking about. However, the wording is vague enough that everyone is liable to interpret it differently, so I'm not sure. If he did mean what I think he meant, it would point to his innocence– but only by the use of meta-reasoning. And I could be completely wrong anyway. I can certainly understand why Roa thought he was hinting at being the Seer.

Now, I haven't read through yesterDay, but I believe there were at least a couple of people who claimed to find Nogrod's case convincing, and probably need looking at. It was a pretty dodgy case, after all.

On the subject of grammar–

One would have done the job, and would have been much easier to read.
*cough**cough* Nogrod = non-native speaker. Just so you know. Besides, Lottie, not everyone's an English major...

EDIT:X'd since Lottie at 229; added comment.
EDIT2:got X'ing wrong.
