I’m curious, did you suspect I was the Seer before I claimed? I had my suspicions about you at that time, but they weren’t as strong as they were afterwards. I was worried that I was becoming a prime target, but it took jsgoddess’ imminent lynching to spur me into outing myself. I figured I had better get my information out there before everything went south; also, I was counting on everyone freaking out and making mistakes so I could get a more solid read on the situation and figure out how best to use my powers. MTS shot himself in the foot nicely; you were more subtle but I was pretty well on to you by the end of the day. Unfortunately Ogre slipped up as well, but my decision to investigate you instead of MTS had nothing to do with that.
MTS might have done better claiming to be the real Seer. I would have known he was lying of course, but the rest of the townies might have had doubts.

Had you not claimed that day, you would have never made it to the next, mostly because of your post content/voting record, you were also a Seer candidate, but we had been wrong before. Since you left almost no “breadcrumbs” it’s no wonder we were puzzled. Your claim both confused and annoyed me, especially because you were due to die that night.
There was a lot that didn’t go as planned on the wolves side, some things were our fault (see my above post) some were town luck, and some were/are things I can’t talk about yet.
The first day that MTS was on the gallows I tried to distance myself, but then he false claimed and I pounced, gaining us an extra day. It was very dirty, and barely worked (much like my wolf admission) but it served its purpose, as I was almost positive about the GA’s identity. Part of me thought that you wouldn’t investigate MTS, and I hoped that you wouldn’t investigate me. Ogre’s post was after we had already voted, and it was kind of funny, because i thought Kat might have been a long shot for GA, but then she wished MTS good luck and Ogre practically said “I’m the damn GA”. That made that kill that much more sweet.
Your data came out, and everyone ate it up, which i was a bit surprised by. Then jsgoddess’s list came out and our fate was sealed. We could cast doubts, but not effectively. At that point the Seer, GA, and all three masons were alive, our only chance to even gain a squeeker of a victory was to off the two big guys right away. We did that, but it was too late.
Had we killed any one of the 5 town roles by luck earlier, the game would have been very different. Obviously Seer or GA would have been great, but even a mason would have made their position almost useless.
There is a slight maneuver that I had planned before my death, it was not used, and the result will soon be apparent. It was a great game to play no matter the outcome.
I kind of envy the townies, they have a much more “kill or be killed” mentality to work with. We just had to not lose the game, and get lucky a few times.
