With both gifted revealed I'd say the chances of them attacking a gifted are lesser now. A thing has a real good chance of us not predicting who they'll attack, so we can't pick who to dream of.
But that's my point exactly - it isn't in their best interests to attack a gifted - in fact, if they attack a gifted we would win, since the thing remains the same and the next day the gifted can point them out to us, right? I thought that was our best chance of finding them, since I didn't know the gifteds would dream about the new connection, as Mac just clarified. Therefore, I thought it would be better if the last thing thought I was the weaver, since s/he might then attack the real weaver (assuming he was an ordinary villager and thus safe to attack) who could reveal him/her the next day.
