Haven't yet reached the Living Thread that far, but that being the case, I'm ready to take my words (or intentions) back (I was actually going to say I'm totally going to be out of this madness and will not be giving my vote for extra-powers to someone I distrust or who is voting someone I trust).

It seems, after all, a situation where our vote hasn't any power. So yes, I agree, if it is going to be this kind of unanimous bandwagon.

Add: and there are reasonable grounds to believe the living will interpret our extra-vote to Nilp or Shasta (I don't trust either a bit) really meaning that Greenie is innocent - and only that.

Don't see why they should interpret it as anything else. Granted, FF's post is fairly random, but I don't understand what else should they think. Both Nilp and Shasta are fairly random players, too (i.e. they haven't been the talk of the day etc.)

Well, it isn't clear yet. Like three people voted, but now Eomer is disputing that, and wanting to do a counter-bandwagon. And you have experienced on your own skin how it is still possible to get total turnover at any point in this game... there are still many left to vote. I guess we'll see in a while.

Therefore I said "IF it is going to be this kind of unanimous bandwagon".

I'm not going to make any trouble with this any more toDay if the bandwagon is clear, but I am asking how much can we trust in them reading it right?

Nerwen says in her second last post:

And she doesn't even mention Firefoot's elaboration at all - and no ne else has paid any attention to it either... but us here in the Dead Thread.

So if there is fex. a rivalling suggestion as to how to send information (a well-wishing person decides to make it as s/he has lost Firefoot's suggestion like Nerwen clearly did), which one do we choose to follow then?

Well, I hope they will now follow this, since FF just brought it up again:

Especially if it ends up being a landslide vote today, the Dead aren't going to be influencing it anyway, so it would be good to get some information from their vote if possible. Seems like we should figure it out sort of soon, too, before they start voting en masse.

Good of her. At least she is trying in the actual moment of clear need - and that speaks good of her (unlike coming up with abstract schemes beforehand without knowing if they're helpful or not or whether they hinder our best interests or not )

The scheme was clearly helpful and not at all abstract. If everyone had simply been willing to rationally recognize the benefits and say, "Okay, we're doing this," then there would've no longer been any fears about how it might be misused or worries about people not being clear enough etc. etc.

Any fogginess was purely the result of people needlessly refusing to hop on board from the outset.

Ha, have you folks just seen Lottie's post on the thread? Either she's completely lost it, poor Wolf (wait till she learns I wasn't the Seer), or she is pulling some totally elaborate scheme (not likely?). Unless we have a total Cobbler in her.

Echoing her, "I would like to take the credit for totally making her think I was the Seer, thank you, I am pretty pleased with that."

The only nagging question is: really. Why would she tell the villagers the extra info: that is, the info of whom did her pack kill and whom did the other pack kill? Why give the village extra weapons? What do you think?

This is actually pretty precious - even if my first thought was whether there is a cobbler after all - but probably not.

It will be interesting to think about those kill choices she "confesses" as to whether they could actually hold and/or can we draw any conclusions from them.
