But then he could've told everyone that I had requested this info and that he had provided it. My choices then would've been (a) to deny this and try to make the case that he was lying-- something a Wolf in his situation wouldn't have done-- or (b) to roll with the punch.Ralph-Wiggum wrote:Why?

The only real choice was (b). If pr0ner had said "I told Grundbegriff I'm the Seer and even revealed to him my scanned" and I had said "No you didn't" he could've brought you forward, thereby publicly outing me as a Wolf.
Because you were both going to die anyhow. Since nobody knew you were Scanned rather than Seer, nobody knew how seriously to take your words. That left your remarks open to my spin after your death.Considering we thought it was very likely that you were a wolf, why give up both of us?
If you had both come forward (whether to me or to everyone) once pr0ner was outed, the whole bandwagon would've fallen apart.
I disagree. I've seen that "give him another night" tactic play out more than once; it's nearly always a disaster.That's where, logically, your argument didn't hold up. Even if you weren't sure that you believed pr0ner, a true innocent would have given him the benefit of the doubt for at least one more night
My argument to pr0ner was exactly the argument I would've made in all sincerity if I had been innocent: he had it within his power to prove his identity to me at no cost, and chose not to.
(a) If I was a Wolf, he was already outed to the Wolves and was going to die. Thereafter, his Scanned would have no special worth trust-wise (anyone could've claimed to be the Scanned).
(b) If I wasn't a Wolf, he'd have (i) expanded the web of trust he was aiming to build, (ii) gained an ally, and (iii) stopped the bandwagon. He'd still possibly have died by the hand of the Wolves, but not necessarily, since a mouthpiece scheme with a Normal as "Real Seer" could've bought a turn/scan.
Which is the better deal: (a) or (b)?
I didn't distort what you wrote. I quoted in relevant part, without commentary, and provided direct links to the original individual messages. Later, my spin consisted of offering multiple interpretations and settling nowhere, all to create FUD.(as the seer is the most important player in the game for the village). I tried to point that out publically but apparently no one agreed with me (or worse, read just your version of what I wrote).
Y'all just made a miscalculation by staying secret.
