I guess you dhave to play some precentages, first the guard would have to be interogated 1/7 chances, to be outed, and even then if the guard is outed, they only lose the power for a day. The bad guys cant afford to target the guard repitively. Just seems like a low chance to me, I could be wrong though. Probably would take the fun out of the game too.
Got a tip for us?

the baddies only need to scare the guard once, and the guarding power is gone for good.
Plutonius: rick snagwell, Queen of Spades
rick snagwell: Moyank24, Koodauw
Don't panic: Plutonius, twietee
Moyank24: Don't panic
Tomorrow: Roric
twietee: Tomorrow
rick snagwell reached 2 votes first.
rick snagwell was dragged into the interrogation room and slammed into the chair.
"I'm not --"
"I'm not hearing it!" shouted Moyank24 as Koodauw made threatening faces.
"I swear! I'm not the --"
"Shut it! I'll get your confession, sooner or later!" Moyank24 shouted as Koodauw continued to make threatening faces. "Perhaps we could invite the elves --"
"I swear! I swear! I'm not one of them!"
"... guess he's telling the truth. You can go, rick snagwell," Moyank24 said with a sigh.
rick snagwell is innocent! IT IS NOW NIGHT!

So Rick is all talk but no action..tell me something new.
Since I'm already accused of voting very lame, here's the real thing: in order to prevent scanning and clausing the same person because specials shouldn't out themselves indeed, we could just run a second aaaaand third vote parallel during daytime. First gets 'questioned' (you're too soft, Moyank!) second scanned and third claused or whatever. Now, unless DP sees some major flaw, I still very much would not like to follow this strategy, because, you know, it really is lame.
Sorry, just figured it out today because this intense Champions League football matches y'all Americans have no clue about happened to be yesterday.

"I can't -- I can't handle this!" a crying Queen of Spades cried. "I just can't!"
As villagers consoled her, the day commences.
It's time to interrogate someone once again!
Queen of Spades cannot vote this round!

QoS appears to be cleared from being a bad guy.
This is where I would vote for Moyank24, but a hunch tells me she wouldn't zero in on QoS, especially this quickly in the game...or would she?
Sticking with Twietee for now.
so we have two cleared: Rick and QoS, and 7 remaining suspects for 2 baddies.
we also have 2 specials and presumably one scanned by the seer, which could take down the suspect pool all the way down to 4 if there were no overlaps (but probably there is some).
at some point it's probably a good idea for the seer to come clear, so they can reduce the pool significantly (themselves + whoever they scanned).
surely they should share the info if they ever get scared, as from then on they become regular elves.
twietee, I am not sure what you are proposing, that we decide who gets scanned by the seer by committee? as far as deciding who gets Claused, that should be kept under wraps by the current Santa, since it would give an obvious target (for the next day) to the baddies.
i think Santa should only come out if at high risk of questioning, with the hope that the guard can protect him and he can transfer to someone else. Or if it gives the missing numbers to close the game.
meanwhile i am going with Pluto

Suuure there had to be a flaw..
Ok, scratch that vote for clausing although we still have the guard (assuming we get informed if questioned via ravenvii or the player her-/himself.) which could protect the collectively voted Santa. This player then has already a couple of save alternatives to chose from. But I agree, it'd still be a gamble. But voting for the scan still makes sense (and leads actually to the same outcome) since Santi then can choose a player not voted for (interrogation + scan). Sorry, I'm at work and this idea came while walking back from lunch...lolAlso sticking with DP, sorry pal! But I think you're neither a special nor Santi (nor a target Santa would chose to transfer to imho)..save to be cleared then.
----------
Well, since both rick and QoS voted for Pluto I may change to him. Let's see what other have to say first though.

This game would be the golden opportunity though!

what are you talking about?
moyank. she started my demise, even after i tried to say my innocence. and i bet she thought i would be and easy target after being a bad guy for the last two rounds.
Hmm, seems like I'm in the wrong again. I thought that interrogated people can't vote but still be vocal for one day - just like the scared ones. Sorry, rick. Wasn't meant personal of course.
Edit: or do you mean what kind of football I'm talking about?
The real football, the one where you use a foot to kick a ball.
Not much, Koodauw. Hour long phone call this morning followed by a 2 hour meeting this afternoon! I am so ready to just disconnect and hide out for the rest of the week.
How are things over there, twietee?
Rude.
I can't vote, but I agree with DP in that we can reasonably narrow down the pool now. Although I'm not sure the guard/seer should come forward just yet - unless they got lucky and scanned someone who hasn't been cleared yet. Probably just re-phrasing what he said, but I am high on cold meds and lack of sleep, so forgive me.

Not that bad, although I got a mid-game cramp and work sucks too right now. The usual, you know. Going to take a bath now - helps a lot.
You should be thanking me! You've been cleared and you got a soft interrogation instead of the butt whooping I'd give Pluto.

thanking you? for voting for me!?
usually you are sorry if you voted wrong, not this time eh? suspect!
there is no real downside in being voted except if you are Santa, or a bad guy (special too, but less), so yes, since you are neither Santa nor a baddie, you are in a better position now today than yesterday
I'd definitely be sorry if you had died. But you didn't! You're alive. And you're cleared! This is like best case scenario for you.
You're welcome.

in hindsight its awesome right?!
ps. im in escrow right now. AKA in hell...might give meaning to my shortness lately =)
... instead of the butt whooping I'd give Pluto.
I'm sure Pluto wouldn't mind that. So here's for you, buddy!
PlutoAlso, I know you folks never really took me serious when I said that in previous games, but can we be sure that QoS is cleared? I mean this game would be a brilliant opportunity to off one of the baddies for distraction, because, you know, they aren't really off'd.
