It would be interesting, but that would take a lot more planning than over the course of two Days and knowing exactly from about 3 Days ago who the Seer was.
The rule of conspiracy is that it's nearly impossible with a larger group of people because, no one can keep their mouth shut for long (as we saw with our unfortunate gifteds) for whatever reason. Then, trying to rope innocents in to it without them talking about their speculation or getting suspicious is neigh impossible.

Thank you, Lhuna. It was a mixture of #2 and #3 honestly.
It took me two Days to get people to kill me. Even after literally telling some to vote for me after they had ample evidence... twice.

So I was thinking about how risky Boro's fake-seering was in terms of accidentally flushing out the real seer. I reread stuff and found this from Day2:

It feels too "well, known innocent says!" for my tastes.
sleep on it.... known innocent

That's coming after directing #131 and #182 at him on Day1.

At that point Boro knew he could go ahead with it.


and now we have Brinniel claiming the fame in the GT, too.

Though it would be hilarious if Boro thought he was getting a seer thumbs-up that was in fact faked by a wolf.

Ok I've just seen Brinn's reveal.

If it's true, that's hilarious. That post is DEFINITELY what got me killed.

Whoooa! Okay, let's wait if anyone at all counter-claims and how logical will it seem... I mean, if the innocents and WWs are who Brinn says they are, there isn't much of a chance except for Kath to say that she's the Seer.

But if Kath is a Wolf, she's been brilliant. Well, so was Brinn - either way.

Btw I wonder why did Brinn not dream of Boro (if she's telling the truth). Maybe because he was under so much scrutiny that he was likely to be either lynched or Night-killed, so it was likely to be a dream wasted?

I could see the seer not counter-revealing if they still have one wolf left to dream of.

For that matter, why didn't she dream of me, considering the amount of time suspecting me? Unless it's for the same reason.

Now Steve's joined in the vote. He, Brinn, and Lottie can't all be evil.

I wondered that too. If she's telling the truth, she saw him correctly naming two Innocents and two wolves while seer hinting and living. Wouldn't she want to know what was up?

Saw Brinn's reveal and was doubtful because if Lottie was the seer and Brinn and Eonwe wolves, a fake reveal would be the only way now.

But Lottie goes with it, so ...

Eh, still want to see if there's a counter-reveal.
