If Jack did, then we'd all be deciding to lynch Gurthang or him, either way Jack would be dead by next day (lynch or attack).

If Jack didn't reveal himself, then he knows we'd all be following Gurthang's lead and would lynch at least one innocent.

Gurthang, it's one thing to hint and try to draw wolves' attention from the gifted. It's another thing when actions corner the gifted into revealing themselves and be at the mercy of the wolves, especially the seer.

Good thoughts, but they are wrong.

First, If I had been killed, thus saving the Seer, it would have been obvious that I was not the Seer.

Also, for what it's worth, I was planning on ending my scheme today no matter what. You are absolutely correct that I could not rationally continue to call myself the Seer when I'm not. Had I survived the night, and Jack not have been killed, the first thing I would have done was explain that I was not the Seer and say why.

I'd also note that I 'revealed' right at the end of the Day so that there was no chance that Jack could come out and refute my psuedo-claim.
