Re: TWG XLIX: Another unnamed TWG!?!

I agree that going for Sertman seems retarded unless the wolves don't think there's enough valuable people to risk going for one, or they knew secretly that Sertman was something special.

As to why the seer wouldn't just come out, I have a simple reason - not everything talisman says goes. While his strategy works, potentially, it's not entirely appealing to the seer.

If I were the seer, my strategy would probably be to keep it a secret, collect any information I could, until either I were at risk of being lynched, or there was a point when I could tell 3 or 4 people who I most trusted at the moment because I felt I had something useful to contribute.

If you come out as seer before then, you're not doing anyone any favours because you don't know jack about anything yet, any more than a normal human does, and also all you're doing is forcing the guardian to always have protecting you in high consideration, and giving the wolves free dibs on many other valuable players that are now at lesser odds of being guarded.

That's why if I were the seer, I wouldn't come out, in fact, I might even lie about it at first. That's probably why the seer hasn't come out yet, and won't until he has a good reason.

That being said, the seer probably isn't a Newb sheep like most of the players that would have followed Talisman's advice to the T.

Given the pregame circumstances, I seriously doubt DBP wouldn't reroll for a seer if it came up nija.

Well that person is unnecessarily running the risk of them getting wolfed. We only have 1 seer, we do have a ton of meat to throw at the wolves so we figure out who they are.

It's not exactly "my" strategy -- it's basically the strategy used in standard games with a seer and a guardian. As far as "potentially" goes, it has proven its worth several times in the past.

If I were the seer, my strategy would probably be to keep it a secret, collect any information I could, until either I were at risk of being lynched, or there was a point when I could tell 3 or 4 people who I most trusted at the moment because I felt I had something useful to contribute.

If you were the seer, I'd hope you'd come out because you're going to be high on the wolves list because of your activity and won't last long enough to gather that information without guaranteed night time protection.

If you come out as seer before then, you're not doing anyone any favours because you don't know jack about anything yet, any more than a normal human does, and also all you're doing is forcing the guardian to always have protecting you in high consideration, and giving the wolves free dibs on many other valuable players that are now at lesser odds of being guarded.

Coming out as soon as possible has nothing to do with doing anybody favors or revealing information. It's just about locking up the guardian's protection, which should be 100% on the seer every night. No player is more valuable than the seer.

That's why if I were the seer, I wouldn't come out, in fact, I might even lie about it at first. That's probably why the seer hasn't come out yet, and won't until he has a good reason.

Basically, you're the seer? My money's either on you or tps, anyway.

The only reason I can think of for sertman's death was that the wolves were thinking that the seer was thinking that the wolves would go for a high value target and thus pick a slightly lower value target. That or sertman told somebody that he was blue and didn't post it. That or xero did it because he and sert weren't getting along. Or it was an attempt to frame xero. Something like that.

me hating sert isn't new, and framing me would be worthless. But if it saves my hide from a lynch I'll keep it, I don't wanna die to yet another lynch.

This leaves the posiblility of either LD, Sertman, or Kilga being the seer, and a lot of people could still be the guardian.

Sertman has been found dead.

Am I the only one who found something wierd with this?

Re: TWG XLIX: Another unnamed TWG!?!

Re: TWG XLIX: Another unnamed TWG!?!

Gotta safety TPS before the night is over. Heading back to college tomorrow afternoon and if all goes according to plan, I should have internet access when I get there. Basically, he was the first to comment after sert's death that I sort of expected a different comment from. Weak reason, I admit. Hopefully I'll be back on tomorrow evening to reevaluate and revote.
