Sorry, lass, but I wanted to give every opportunity to the baddies to sniff my move ahead of time and false reveal, as it would yield yet another piece to the puzzle, and I also wanted to see which way people were pushing before additional knowledge was added. It really irks me that during that whole time period no one showed up that really mattered.

Night 1 was Fea. Surprise, surprise. Her behavior is so counter to mine that I find her very difficult to read and often try and get her killed for the sake of convenience. This time I wished to break with tradition.

Night 2 was not Ang (on Day 2 I sort of had the impression that you believed I had dreamed you, where as that wasn't actually the case). Night 2 was Shasta. Flippin Shasta. I was more wary of him than I let on Day 1, which I thought would be a good tactic should I have found him to be evil. But of course I didn't. And perhaps this explains why I reacted as I did to Shasta's killing and the notion that he appeared to be a Lover. I took great offense to the idea as it not only insinuated poor play from Shasta but a stupid selection from me.

Night 3- that was you, Ang. The way you reacted to me the day before I actually thought would be quite a good tactical position for a Wolf (your comment to Fea about the two of you dying I thought stemmed from my belief in the innocence of the two of you). Then you could kill me at Night and say, "They probably thought he was the Seer due to him declaring me and Fea innocent" if you follow.

Night 4 was Glirdan. I wondered if he was using his certainty about Wilwa as a look-good shield. Nope, he wasn't.

Night 5 was Boro, hence my frustration with him.

I wasn't concerned with revealing much, as for one thing the village looked much larger before Legate and Wilwa were zapped, and for another thing I had Glorfy in my pocket. So long as he was alive I didn't greatly fear death, as he could carry my dreams back to the living and I could organize the Dead to hand an extra vote to the person who looked most likely to slay someone that I didn't know to be innocent. If the lynch mob had gone Ang's way yesterday I would've outed (as we would've been on the verge of losing my link), but as things worked out I just never saw a reason to, seeing as I had never at any point identified a freaking single Cobbler or Wolf (the primary root of my annoyance).

So, while I may have been a relatively bad Seer, I think my overall approach was quite good, and I feel this info gives us some hope. (I'm also rather hoping that either Nessa or Lottie was a Wolf, but we'll see I guess.)
