I believe there's a small chance of Rune getting scried (unless something really interesting happened), but let's count him in just to be safe.

There are two possible results per person, so unless a higher mathematical power contradicts me, we need eight different ways for them to convey any of the possible data points they have.
So you're suggesting something along the lines of, "if Nogrod is innocent, double x person's vote, if he's not, double y person's vote, etc."? This seems reasonable to me, in that it would be a way to get a very clear message across, and would limit the discussion tomorrow about what they were trying to imply. On the other hand, it does limit them. There's a reasonable chance that the seer is dead (40% ish) - what if they'd rather send a message about someone who's still alive? Then again, as soon as they give us a known innocent, I feel like they become a wolf target - then again, what if both packs then attack the same person? What if neither does, hoping the other will? Or the Ranger protects that person? So it wouldn't be a totally bad thing, I guess. I can go along with either strategy - giving the Dead clear guidelines, or letting them give information as they want to.

Ignore my previous post, word of Mod says I was wrong.

The easiest way for the dead to send a message would be that if Nogrod was guilty, double someone who voted for him. If was innocent, double someone who voted against him. Which is basically what phantom's plan was way back in Day 1.

But not all of the dead who might have been scried have received votes - then they would have no fixed way to tell us about them. No one voted for phantom or Rune.

the phantom and Rikae are in the Dead thread. I'm sure they'd go along with it. (I hope.)

As for the possible Seer death, I did take that into account, but the possibilities involved with that is clearly beyond the binary way of transferring information that they have right now. We'll just have to *gulp* trust the resurrecting roles for those (assuming they aren't Dead yet and are already rowing back to the Living.)

Now, do we set an artificial deadline (hehe) for our voting, to allow us to co-ordinate this in such a way that won't interfere with the result? The Europe-based people would probably prefer that (?), and the deadline doesn't matter for me.

Thoughts, villagers?

How about two hours before the real DL? Would that give them enough time? Most of them *are* Europeans, though…

EDIT:x’d with McCaber.
