dancing spawn, I'm sure you put a lot of work into that and I do appreciate that.
However, what exactly are we supposed to take from it? All you've done is summarize today's posts, out of order. You seem to have given equal weight to the very first few posts of the Day (in which people are, as usual, drawing heavily on occupations for the sake of having something to write about), and the posts that followed in which we (lamentably) discussed the Seer situation. I just don't see what a summary like that can tell us.
Now, on to other matters:

Too much Seer talk can only help the Wolves. How do you envisage that it might ensnare them? Surely it is better to focus our discussions on who might be the Wolves, rather than on how the Seers should be behaving.

You know, I'm with you, Saucey. The more time we spend on "who's the Seer? What should s/he do?", the less time we spend on "Who's a wolf? What are they up to?"
But on the other hand...
lmp's comments are not to be dismissed. It might be that early Seer talk could become useful later in the game as an artifact, once some identities (preferably at least one wolf) are known. We could look to see who was most eager to deflect discussion onto the Gifteds, for example.
But that's going to be true of every kind of discussion, and I just don't think it's a compelling argument. In the end Saucey is right. We've got to focus on lynching a wolf tonight and creating a useful voting record.
The above is my last Seer-related comment. I'm done. (That's there to keep me honest--as strongly as I feel about this, I know I'm as susceptible as anyone to getting drawn into ongoing discussions. Maybe I'll be able to refrain if I've got this statement on the record.)
Now, to matters at hand--
Something about
dancing spawn's post really rubs me the wrong way. It's so long, so intricate, and so devoid of any new information. Being as it's the first day and all, and as my vote is going to have to come in the next few hours, unless I see anything that compels me to place my vote elsewhere I'm likely to go with the dancing spider.
