I disagree. We can't delegate Sally to the "real hunter" if she's a wolf, it's all too much possible the real hunter will make it to the endgame without getting killed. And I very much doubt the wolves would Night kill Sally now - hunters often become long lived known innocents because the wolves don't dare to kill them. In this case, it wouldn't be very beneficial for us because many of us would still not trust her, and the wolves might also like to frame her that way if she's indeed the hunter. Again, I would rather have the hunter have their shot than have them as a known innocent. And given that I don't trust Sally's reveal one bit and I would rather not drag this out in a way that forces the real hunter to come out and waste their gift that way, I would really just rather lynch her. Either she's a wolf like I very much think, or else there's the silver lining that she can still kill a wolf for us. I don't want Sally to stick around as a "known innocent" because she simply isn't credible enough to be one, even if she actually is the actual hunter.

Okay yes good point about the hunter pick.

Who are you "hunting" Sally?

I could vote Eonwe, Inzil, Brinn or Lottie without feeling too bad. Though right now I am inclined to have Lottie at the bottom of that list because of her vote (if not for that vote she would probably be at the top).

Just saying that Sally had the RL commitment and whatnot, but she clearly had enough time on her hands after her reveal to still post noncommital posts. And now silence. Nope. I'm voting her.

Lowkey really annoyed about this. Sally, I swear, if you are the hunter and you just didn't tell us who you're hunting, gonna be mad.

There would come a point where we'd QT Sally as the last possible wolf. But I'm more inclined to think she's a wolf the longer she goes without posting, so I'm more fine with QTing her, I guess. If she answers, it could be a lie anyway.

Ok fine. Good luck if you're the Hunter Sally. So long if you're not. I'll miss your insouciance either way.

I'm on the fence, but anybody who actually wants to save Sally goofed it up by not coming up with an alternative in time...

Really don't like the idea of a panic bandwagon against me. If you're the hunter, happy killing.

If you're a wolf, thanks for giving me 500 heart attacks, but I'd consider us even considering the trick I pulled on you previously.

Edit: crossed with pretty much everyone

Why? I like known innocents personally. Particularly ones the wolves are too scared to kill.

I'm fallible like the rest of you. I'm hunting someone I find suspicious, but I could be wrong.

What do you mean? Makes perfect sense.

If Wolves learn about a known Hunter, then every time they have chance to kill them, there's the risk that one of them will be pulled to the grave along. But in numbers, a Hunter is just one innocent. A known innocent for the WWs but not-entirely-known for the village! And the WWs can pick any other victim to kill every Night. They have like over a dozen others to pick from!

If sally doesn't tell us NOW who she's hunting, I may vote her, seriously.

I guess I don't see this as an actual problem for the village, at least not now (I accept that if a wolf does a counter-reveal in the closing stages of a game it might get messy, but that is it).

I completely agree that Sally has been acting odd with this reveal, but I think we have too much to loose by voting for her.
