Which brings me to Boro and G55 and the advantage/disadvantage of lynching a hacker. G55 is right that the hacker counts as an ordo and we lose an "innocent" by lynching him/her. But at the same time the longer one is alive the more dangerous he/she becomes. A seer sees only an ordo and at end game the hacker can tip the scales to a bot victory. Ideally the bots just kill the hacker in the night.
While I don't disagree with Boro about potential merits of lynching a hacker I still don't think it's advisable. Especially in a small village. Every body counts in stopping a bot victory.

Downside: I had to do a friend a favor tonight and it ate quite a bit of my evening.

Upside: There's not much to catch up on.

Conclusion: We'll see what I get done. I have an early appointment that sort of snuck up on me (literally only made it this afternoon), so I'll actually have to sleep rather soon, but I'll get to what I can tonight.
