I'm surprised I won this game to be honest... I've never been a priest or seer before, only a spy and cultist, short lived both times. I've never particularly desired to be an important scanner, perhaps as I didn't want to have the village dependent on me not making a mess of it. When I had four villagers scanned into the JL and no wolves located, but one dead without my contribution at all, I was starting to feel like I was letting my side down. I was also surprised that I wasn't transparent as a seer, so hearing I tripped some alarms for you doesn't surprise me, Randy. Walking the tightrope between being obviously reticent or disingenuous, and being verbose or too knowledgeable, isn't easy.
The funny thing is, thinking back on it, if I had expended a little more brainpower on this at the last day I might have figured out you were the seer. 6 people who could be the Seer, snoop was obviously getting targeted by the JL, the_hdk and reis were both impossible, and esemesas and yakman were both substitutes for people while the Seer obviously had been active with the alleged success you guys had if King was to believed. So I could have had a list of people who could NOT be the seer that contained everyone but you.
Good for you that I wasn't a wolf
The Seen-Falc outing was to serve a few purposes; protect JL members, divert attention, and to test your loyalty Randy... I was hoping you'd get hunted and thereby answer our questions as to your role; better you hunted than a JL member or my scan target: as Reis put it, a living goodie is nearly as useful as a wolf. Falc I included as a smokescreen; despite being wrong about Yakman I still thought that Falc being a wolf was unlikely. Then I decided, it being the penultimate day, that if I blew the village on a belief that Falc wasn't a wolf I'd be a real ass, so I tied him up there.
I wanted the_hdk or Reis to tell you to out Snoopdogg, but in the event they felt it better to do things softly, which turned out great.
Yeah, I figured that diverting the wolves from the trail of the JL was one of the jobs of that outing. I don't mind that kind of thing too much, I've done it myself.
Had it been someone else than King though I would probably have tried to leave some clues about who the source was somewhere ..
And putting falc in there - well, that was a bit of a shame. I was tempted to just go and say "look, falc obviously isn't a wolf, so let's just not kill him today, kk?" in the thread. Or push perhaps even a little harder. But I had the same problem that you had - we could afford a tie, and if I'd been wrong things might have gone bad for the village.
I feel for you. I had the same thing happen in a Lite where I was in the JL for several days and contributed to the victory, but got hunted last. It really stung to put in the effort and not get the win.
It's par for the course when you're JL. It happened to me a lot.
I went after rendap for the said reason - a vote on someone who has a random vote when you have reasons for other candidates is weird. The vote felt funny and I attacked it, and got it right
Well, when I read that post of yours I just thought you were *obviously* right. Apparently Johho thought something similar. So even if esemesas had voted for King, Rendap would have been a rather big target on the consecutive days I think.
Though I really did think yak was a wolf after that.
Yakman's behaviour was the opposite of wolfish. Extreme public paranoia towards someone else is not something that you see wolves do a lot, except maybe the *really* good ones. But it was obvious to me later that Yakman v1 was getting run up by the JL - it was all the usual suspects voting him. You, for starters.
That was one of the reasons why I switched to him. Yakman was obviously a JL sanctioned target. the_hdk, was not.
