Rest in peace, brave handsome Eomer! No more shall he taste of my fish.

Well, Mr Loremaster, speaking for myself as a simple wench, you've gotten us to a heck of a start here proposing a fine strategy and all, but one in which we trust to luck more than I am happy to. However I can see how, at this point, all of us are pretty much 'dancing in the dark', so to speak, so your idea of making this an organized waltz may not be so bad. The idea seems good and you put it very nice and proper, Mr Fordim. However, and you'll forgive me for being so discourteous, but I can't believe that a man of lore such as yourself overlooked Firefoot's objection, which I'd say it's pretty important: random selection does seem to favour the werewolves. In the event that we get really unlucky, we will slay quite a few innocents before a werewolf is even selected, and none of the other innocents can be blamed for voting for innocents, as long as they're the only ones on the list.
The seer idea is interesting, but blind luck could also be against us, even here, at least at the first stages.
However, because a decision must be reached, and being an optimist sort of person, I'll say we go with it and see where it leads us.
