Here are my thoughts....
After day 3, we will know Blitzen's status (townie or scum) for sure:
- If a townie turns up dead from the Blitzen bomb, Blitzen remains an innocent.
- If no dead townie from the Blitzen bomb, Blitzen has gone to the dark side.
Either way, we'll know their status. A pre-emptive strike really doesn't make sense IMO, as we'll be looking for a townie at this point.... Makes more sense to look for scum, and let Blitzen worry about Blitzen for the time being.
I would have to agree with the above statements for one simple reason.. According to the rules there will be "two" hits a nite.. One by the Grinch and one by the Evil Elves.. And then with this whole presents and blitzen thing I think its just best to try to find those little Christmas wreakers and string them up by their ears.
