So also from the POV of having this game going just a while longer - and thus giving us even a possibility of finding the wolves by some reasoning - we should at least discuss about this kind of damage-management vote toDay. If and when the wolves don't know each other - at least all of them - there is no team-play to be read from this Day either so it is not so bad if all vote the same.

If I have forgotten something important - or you see a way in which this could backfire let me know so I stop advocating it.
Nog - yes, you have forgotten something important. The wolves win by killing us at Night (and Day). We win by killing wolves by Day. The lynch is pretty much our only weapon, and it's utter madness not to use it. Anyhow, I know this isn't the first time I disagree with you (or someone else) on this topic so I'm not going to argue, but I'd advise strongly against any such plan.

I agree with the lynch being our only weapon, but we would not be lynching a "probably innocent" like when a lackluster player is lynched just to be on the safe side, but a 1/3 possibility wolf.

Nice.

Let's all vote different people and let the dice decide then?

Nerwen - Pom
Cop - Shasta
Greenie - Sally
Shasta - Boro

What I mean is, you're talking like Skip has a set-in-stone 1/3 chance to be evil without looking at all the possibilities. I agree that he could be a wolf, if all the wolves weren't just active and unlucky yesterday.

For what it's worth, I would say first preference is to vote for Skip. But of those already with votes...

sally, Pom, then Shasta in that order. (as far as who I'd vote for)
