Re: TWG Turbo V: Everyone Pretend to be the Seer Game Thread
Just to address the whole "I'm suspicious of the person I green'd" thing, the issue is that real suspicion of someone you ostensibly cleared calls into question the sincerity of your seer claim. Obviously, there are many such claims right now, and only one can be true, but the point is that the multiple claims effectively mask the real one. This allows genuine seer knowledge to make it into the thread without the wolves being aware that that person is the seer. We may not be able to use that knowledge just yet, but the whole process acts as a shielding mechanism for the real seer. Each time someone compromises their seer claim, it risks giving the wolves more information to search out the actual seer. Hence, while forcing people to defend themselves is good from a conversational perspective, people should be careful how it reflects on their claims.
