Oh, I'm sure that isn't necessary. It's more fun with three.

You mean using the double-vote choice as a sort of code? It's hard to think of a way that would actually be workable– especially it seems there's now at least one cobbler in Mandos.

Yeah. What I had in mind was something along the lines of "if the first living person on the player list gets her vote doubled, the person we lynched the previous day was a wolf," plus whatever modifications we can come up with. There are problems though - at least one cobbler (although if Nog still wants to keep playing the seer, he had better comply to what we agree here ), and the chance that the lynch gets messed up.

He wasn't the seer. He was either a cobbler or a wolf, and I'm inclined to say cobbler because Wolfgrod usually seems smoother.
If he had been the seer with self-preservation in mind, he wouldn't have failed to see my fake reveal - or even if he had, not after all the comments it got. He would have said "But I was told you're Beren!" He pretended to overlook it because there was no way he could've explained it. He was not the seer. (See also phantom's post where he explained Nog was only a well-prepared cobbler; the only coded hint he left was "I am the seer" which is far less useful than leaving a coded hint about my & phantom's roles.)
I agree the baddies might have been voting for him though, especially if one of their own was suspected. But I don't think it's bad we lynched Nog. If we want to achieve anything, we have to kill the baddies, all of them not just the wolves. I don't like how Legate keeps insisting the cobblers are of secondary importance.

I agree. Of course I can't be sure, but when I played with Febbler before, she felt very wrong to me which wasn't the case this time around. As in, I disagreed with everything she said.
However, there's still a chance she was a wolf... I wonder if we'll be forced to check her out in Mandos.

Because they voted him last night. By the way Shasta why did you end up choosing him and not Nog (not that I mind, I'm just curious about how it happened) and who voted for whom?
