We want there to be at least a couple of possible people to empower for each option, so that the Dead aren't forced to affect the vote in a way they didn't want. The alphabetical ordering is just one way of dividing the living into groups, we could go with another. Most methods of dividing into groups are going to be about as good as the others, though.

Well, they don't have to empower anyone, do they?

No, but we don't want to put them in a position where they have to chose between communicating information and not messing up the lynch. Having options gives them the ability to both communicate and potentially have some impact on the lynch vote.

Context- more likely than the other scenario that a Wolflote killed him out of spite/panic. That was my only point. (Honestly I don't find her particularly suspicious anyway.)

x/d with the Mod- so the EW and wolves might have had some benefit to going after a possible GW Morsul- except they didn't have this clarification at that time.

Ahem. How do you know???

And yes, I know the baddies could have asked Kuru themselves, but I don't think it likely.

Actually, I'd have thought it very likely... and you were so certain a moment ago...

Let me be clear, Zil- yes, I'm indeed saying that looks a possible slip to me. In a more conventional game I'd be a lot surer, but I know I've been guilty of making assumptions myself this time around. Still...

Edit: x'd with Eonwe.

I only have another couple of hours before I'm going to have to vote and sign off for the Day. Not good, when so many haven't been around.
