So should we come up with a decision of some sort? Or at least decide if we need to decide anything in the first place? Meaning, do we act normally and see what happens, or do we lynch a Gifted? (Never thought the day would come that we seriously consider that!

) In short, does everybody vote according to their own judgement, or do we try to vote together for a Gifted?

Oh. Another thought. Which just might prove a problem if we decide to lynch a Gifted. The village decides which Gifted we want lynched and kindly ask him/her to pretty please come out and sacrifice themselves. A sniggering wolf sees his/her chance and reveals. Even if the real one did, too, we'd have no effing way, on a Day 1, to know which is the real Gifted. And should that be the case, we will end up either a) accidentally lynching the wolf instead of the Gifted, thus having the Heir go to the dark side and one of our Gifted revealed, or b) succeeding in lynching the Gifted, which would leave us with a new Gifted replacing the old one, and a known wolf for the next Day.

It's a risk, in short. It's of course as much of a risk to the wolves as it is to us, and whether they want to take the risk really depends on who our wolves are. But what do you think? Do the wolves consider getting the Heir to the evil side worth potentially losing a fellow?

EDIT: x-ed with Lommy
