Default Re: weekday WW redux

another seer strategy question to ponder: do we have them always stick to the top/bottom half as it is now, or do we have them do it by the top/bottom half of REMAINING players

if we lynch/wolves kill mostly in one half, then that seer may run outta options...if we have the halves always be dynamic, making it top/bottom of what's left, then that eliminates that problem

however, if seer 2 picks people near the top of the bottom half the first few nights and we then lynch/wolves eat some people in the top half, then seer 1's half drops down to include the people that seer 2 already saw...

so this gets us back to the best strategy being to mainly see the top half of the top and the bottom half of the bottom...but then that means that the middle players hardly ever get seen...since it's random, that's fine EXCEPT for the fact that the wolves then know our optimal strategy is to go for top of top and bottom of bottom and will eat (and lead bandwagons to lynch) people in those quartiles, making our seers' sights less valuable, thus shifting their strategy back to not seeing in that quartile, etc
