Our village is surely one of abstract thinkers, because here they are, voting for/against an idea, instead of an individual.
Despite the reasons which motivated it being put forward by its author at such a time, Fordim's strategy is a well thought and solid one. It has its flaws, but any course of actions has risks. It could be employed to serve good just as well as to serve evil, provided the minds at work are cunning and most importantly
work together. And this is the main problem which casts doubt over it as being advantageous to us in this particular situation. If there is even only one villager who cannot be persuaded to accept this idea, this idea is useless and the wolves will have complete advantage over us. They are only 3, and can communicate in ways we cannot know, whereas we can only communicate here for them to see. We have the advantage of numbers, yes, but this also gives the disadvantage of having lots of disagreements.
This idea may well be just a ploy to get everyone to react, as it has been suggested before, so that all of us can have something to work on.
Bearing this in mind, and also bearing in mind the ambiguous and risky nature of the strategy, I find myself quite suspicious of the ones who voice neither agreement nor disagreement with Fordim's idea, but instead wait for the others' to become confused and entangled in mathematical probabilities.
Equally I am suspicious (although perhaps it may only be my fishmongerish simplistic nature) of people who are able to change sides in the time it takes me to wheel my barrow down an alley. Phantom, your ability to defend/disprove of Fordim's idea with equal implication dazzles me a bit. You noticed Firefoot's initial problem with it, but chose not to take it into account at the time; later on you agree and expand on it, motivating this course of action by you waiting to see how the rest of us would react to it. I might say, though, that your mathematical analysis would have been of better use to us earlier on, since many of us found this aspect regarding probabilities and such quite confusing.
