WWJ IX: Psychotic Penguins: The Crossing of Helcaraxë

[the phantom]

Then all werepenguins will vote for him and win. It's not forbidden to vote for yourself, is it?

I didn't even consider that option. Personally, I don't think a vote for yourself should count. It's absurd.

This way nobody benefits of the seer.

I see there is a certain concept you aren't grasping. We don't want the village to benefit from the Seer's knowledge early on, because frankly, if the Seer is giving obvious enough directions for the village to follow, the WPs will instantly be aware of the Seer and KILL HIM!!

That's the LAST thing we want.

We want the Seer to survive long enough to dream of a WP (or two) and then take the risk of revealing his identity.

Then it's better if he remains silent about his knowledge

Yes, early on anyway.

You really are serious about everybody should giving baseless assumptions.

Well, what else is there? Villagers know nothing! Therefore a villager cannot possibly make a concrete accusation! The best a villager can do is form theories and analyse voting and posting patterns. You can call this "baseless assumptions" if you wish, but it's the best thing we have until we get our hands on some Seer dreams.

The more dreams, the more information we have, and the only way for the Seer to get lots of dreams is for the Seer to remain hidden for a while.

Get it?

Ha ha ha! That was one of my finest moments, if I may say so. If you recall, that village did not take my Day 1 advice and as a result lynched their own Ranger.

Tsk tsk.... the phantom should always be obeyed.

(gah, I've really got to go to bed now)
