[Anguirel]

Well...Macalaure, about the seer, you have a point and you don't. If the Seer is killed, it will be clear whose hints we should look at-ditto if they reveal themselves. What the phantom's plan will mean is that we won't be able to act on what we suspect is Seerish advice before a death or revelation...but that hampers penguins more badly than it does us. So all in all, I'm sorry to say that the phantom's plan seems pretty good...

Unless he himself is one of our foes and has already spotted a hint, in which case his proposed strategy is hideously ironic. Urrgh.

Anyway, at this stage I'd rather have no hints at all. We shouldn't be too absorbed in our assets-the Gifted Ones will make themselves known at the right time-instead we should have an eye to our insidious enemies.

Incidentally, phantom old chap, are you still into killing Ordinary Elves on Day One to prevent the accidental lynching of a Gifted? I'm not.
