Quote:Selrahc revealed under pressure and I think if he were lying our name seer would have shouted. IMO Cleared.
I don't want to cause any confusion or presumptions, and if I don't think I can make myself any more of a wolf target than I already am, so I might as well state outright what I'm guessing is obvious for most people: I am the Name Seer.
Waterbat can confirm it. He sort of already did, when he ruled out everyone else earlier today by process of elimination
(which I assume is what Serdoa was referring to). I dropped quite a few hints about it & thoughts on name seers early on, which made me worry I had been too heavy-handed, but apparently not
Knowing from the start that people had alternate identities is what made me trust Lewwyn's reveal of the Marr situation.
For my first scan, I picked Serdoa- obviously he was who he said he was. He hadn't claimed alignment seer at the time though, and I wanted to start out by scanning a WW vet.
Second scan was for Molach, which Waterbat inadvertently leaked. He's a drone.
Third scan was NOT Sareln, but instead Slowcheetah- I told Waterbat I intended to scan Sareln, I was going to up until a few hours before the submission deadline when I realized that it made no sense that Bigger would have given Sareln a suspicious name to claim if he had a hidden identity. I then looked through Bigger's intro posts and saw that he had indeed suggested there may duplicates for drones and/or workers. During I think Day Two Lewwyn had suggested the name seer scan Lal, and his reasoning seemed sound, so I went for it. Of course he ended up dead (and innocent), so that scan was wasted
I ended up feeling pretty bad about that one.
Waterbat had suggested a code I could use to tell him who I had scanned in my posts, but at the time I had felt it was unnecessary (and more than a little dangerous) and told him I probably wasn't going to bother with it. I actually
did try to tell him I had scanned Slowcheetah using his code anyway- the signal was a semicolon before the target's name, which I used before Slowcheetah in my big wall-of-text subplots summary post, but I think it got buried under all the words and Waterbat didn't notice.
Last night I did not scan Selrahc- I considered it (and suggested in this thread I would after his baner claim), but Lewwyn had said that he was sure that Marr was one of Zak or Jkaen. Both looked more suspicious than Selrahc, so I scanned Jkaen, who had brought my ire earlier by constantly pressing for the name seer to reveal himself, something which Marr would do. He's an engineer. His no-name name is vague enough that I'm not worried about giving away anything useful to the wolves by revealing it. Plus I think he's a wolf anyway
So that's my story. I'm not entirely sure my role has much more use left- Marr is dead, and Lewwyn never even used his pseudonym (probably for the best!). What I'll do now is take up the search for our mysterious third faction, scanning at nights for as long as I survive and revealing my results during the day. I'm going to keep my scan targets to myself until after I have actually scanned them however.
