Ok so now that I'm not in the middle of a wedding anniversary date, here is a little more of an explanation of my thought process on the seering:
Value of something like that goes up exponentially the longer it is held. I actually asked initially if I had any limitations on it in terms of end game (i.e. if it expired after we were down to a certain number of people or no).
I felt reasonably confident I wasn't going to die N1 because this is my first game back after a hiatus and I made it very clear I'm a fan of this show. Also tried to act sketchy and kinda cagey D1/D2 so I wouldn't get killed. That's one of the reasons why I wasn't answering Sporty's questions, etc
I picked 3 people who I thought were flying a bit under radar, were going to be hard to read or hadn't had significant voting pressure. That's why I asked for the post count -- I was initially going to go for low posters and sketchy people, but then I thought about it & decided that since there is no way to know the number of bad guys in the set of 3, the most valuable result would be to try to clear 3 people who would otherwise potentially be misvotes.
Except that didn't work out as planned, and I got back "you use your investigative skills to check out Allie, sunbodi and wonder and discover there is something sinister hiding there"
And I would normally say vote me if you have to in order to confirm I'm not lying, but we really need to get a wolf today, so this is not the time to be wasting votes to confirm something. If I live, you're just gonna have to trust me.
And tbh, it is getting pretty ridiculous if I can be attacked by a clear bad character, role claim a major protagonist, ability claim a high power seering ability that fits with that role, and still have you nerds be like "oH mY gOd PipPy aLwAYs SkEtcH"
Like...no. I will be very, very frustrated if the village votes me out instead of voting for a wolf and we lose.
