    You only say that you're not longer doing it...

    Well, there is that... you really have no reason to trust anything I say. However, if I am, then I'm an asset to the good guys, right? So, why would you want to point out something that is likely to get me killed?

    Hmm... I think Dyna is out to get me killed... I wonder why that would be...

    Because I want you to be able to spend more time with your family.

    What's to keep one player from handing their spreadsheet off to another prior to their death?

    Well, assuming that they know they're going to die, they'd still have to trust that the other person is on the same side as them.

    If I were keeping a spreadsheet, I wouldn't be handing it off to someone who might be a bad guy, because they now have all of my accumulated data and potentially guesses / ideas or whatever notes I would have kept. I'd have to be damned sure the person I was giving it to wouldn't use it against the good guys.

    Also, in the case that I didn't actually die, they would know I was keeping a spreadsheet and whether or not I was dangerous based on whether my guesses were anywhere close to them, which is a distinct advantage to the bad guys.

    Nothing?

    Sometimes people even just post a link to them publically, for all to see!

    See? Dyna just cares so much, Nerissa.

    It doesn't matter that your husband is playing too... in fact, Dyna's probably just looking out for the Munchkin and the other one. (One? Are there only two?)

    It's safest for the players if the host is the one publicly tracking votes. It removes the stigma of being 'the guy with the spreadsheets' if you're a villager and the 'why is the guy with the spreadsheets still alive?' witch-hunt if you're not.

    If you did not receive a PM specifically telling you that you are a bad guy, you have the same win conditions as the good guys.
