Occasionally the situation does dictate scanning the #2 vote-getter, and this was one of them, partly because Lathum is Lathum, and partly because he was giving me an odd vibe.

It really should have been apparent that I HAD scanned him, though - I pretty much telegrammed that fact with my posts at the beginning of day 2. I always try to leave clues about who I have scanned, and what their allegiance is.

In days 2+, I almost ALWAYS scan the person I vote for, unless there's a specific game situation that calls for somebody to be scanned, or unless I have already scanned a wolf and haven't revealed myself yet - in that case I'll vote the wolf and scan somebody else.

It's interesting that you say that now, since in a PM to me you said you were surprised at how difficult it was to get people to follow me. I suspect some of that was because of the two-team dynamic. To be honest, I didn't see any of the stuff about Lathum. I guess I was pretty much just seeing what I wanted to see, and since I knew Farrah actually was a wolf, it didn't matter to me whether or not you actually scanned her. Plus, it really did remind me of that Willy Wonka game -- I don't remember if you've been a seer since then, but I guess your play that game really stuck out to me.

Would anyone else have gone after Farrah, if I hadn't? I'm wondering if the vote might have gravitated that way without me bringing it up.
