A few other quick thoughts before the review...

I just wanted to briefly answer the concern from yesterDAY about my not saying a whole lot. Truth was, I just wasn't sure of anything and didn't want to risk going overboard and swaying votes to innocents. As I said then, it will nag at me to err.

One more thing before I go. There are other reaons to be somewhat non-committal, at least early. One of which being giftedness. As has been pointed out, a Seer can't really afford to make mistakes, lest they be taken as dreams later after the identity is revealed. And the Ranger/Hunter might also want to play a game of being less vocal. If the Ranger's identity is suspected, defending someone too strongly could be taken as a sign of who would be guarded at night, making the role pointelss. LIkewise, if the Ranger is successful and defended the protected target strongly during the day, his/her identity might be revealed to the wolves - and wolves alone - as a result. A similar argument goes for the Hunter, who might not want the night target accidentally revealed in case the choice is correct and s/he wants the chance to take down a furry beast.
