Tol-in-Gaurhoth IV (The Saga, erm, Still Continues...)

[the phantom]

Except you're still promoting the idea of deliberately lynching an innocent that would not even give us information as to who might be guilty.

And how, pray tell, would you get that information?

Who voted for who rarely tells you anything at all. A common villager knows nothing about who is guilty, therefore their vote tells you nothing. Only the vote of a werewolf means anything, and we don't know who the werewolves are.

The only way we might be able to pick out werewolves based on their votes is if we catch one first, which is extremely unlikely. In fact, it is more likely that we will lynch one of our gifted villagers than it is we will lynch a wolf.

Given that fact, it would be a good idea to remove both the wolves and the gifted villagers from consideration on day one, kill an innocent, and allow the seer to gather information during the night. Need I remind you that the seer is the ONLY villager who can ever possess real information?
