Tol-in-Gaurhoth XVIII: The Play’s The Thing…

[tar-ancalime]

This false seer scares me as it could cause a whole mass of confusion for the entire village giving everyone the wrong information and going by our own mind to judge who is the right seer and who is the false seer.

Well, yes.

It seems to me we've got to play as though we'd already lost the Seer (blind, if you catch me). We can dispense with the usual Seer-related flotsam of the first few days: people looking for hints that aren't there, declaring that they know who the Seer is, silly warnings to keep hidden, and the rest of that nonsense. We've just got to do the best we can and wait for later in the game, when we'll (if we're lucky) get a great gift from the true Seer.

The wolves will be looking for both Seers, but not too hard--if they kill the false Seer too soon, we'll be relieved of our doubts and they'll lose their advantage. I think both Seers have got a bit of breathing space, at least from the wolves.

I'd like to propose a moratorium on Seer talk--we can't know who is true until one of them dies, and the longer we wait the more information we'll get. So let's play as though neither of them is here.
