Allow me to clarify.

I suggest that the Seer speak in such a way that only once his or her identity is revealed will the information being conveyed be apparent. If the Seer, for example, says that he or she strongly suspects someone, or that so and so is almost certainly innocent, then after the Seer's death those remarks will (inevitably, I think) be taken to mean 'I dreamt about so and so and he is a werewolf' or '. . . and he is innocent'. I think that if the Seer is conscious of this throughout the game, then after the Seer's death we should be able to reconstruct most of the Seer's knowledge - would could be quite valuable. But the Seer would be saying nothing that you wouldn't expect any reasonable, paranoid villager to say.

It's just a thought, from someone with little experience in these matters. Does anyone have a better idea for maximizing the Seer's utility? Or the utility of the other Gifteds, for that matter?
