the silver knife seems like a good item to give up for a splitted, but still huge cashpile.

Right... Earthling, you have an amulet of protection. You can have the bracers, but I'd like the knife for protection, please. I'm nerveous about the Calabim Vampires!

No one has come forward with a more compelling case, and no one values my vote enough to bribe me, so CCRunner it is.

Are you attempting a bandwagon Pizzaguy?!

Hmm, I'm sticking with my vote. I aint going to be involved in a bandwagon.

Did you know that the only way to lynch a scumbag is to get a bandwagon on said scumbag?
True fact.

TBH, I had a bad experience with bandwagoning. Unintentionally started one and got blamed for it.

People don't always give rational reasons for voting someone.
You can point out that the only way to win the game is to accuse someone and/or bandwagon them. Technically, innocent people do that more than guilty people, just because of the sheer number.
Those trying to avoid accusing or bandwagoning are the ones acting odd. You can't win the game that way unless you're mafia or you're lazy and the rest of the team wins it for you.
I've been lynched in games because I won a couple games as mafia straight. So obviously that means I'm guilty now and I have to die now, in this other, different game.
You don't necessarily have to reason with people, just point out that their reasons for voting you do not add up to indicating guilt or not... it's just attaching BS reasons to a random or metagaming vote. If you die, and they lose, wasn't your fault. Then you get to say "I told you so" and remind them of their failure next time they do the same thing. Either they eventually get it and don't attach BS reasons for their random vote and make it seem as though that makes their vote more logical, and they just admit it is a random or metagaming vote, or they don't get it and they continue to fail most of the time. Sure, sometimes the bad reasoning random vote wins, but that's because it is random, not because of the bad reasoning. Even a stopped clock is correct sometimes.

Well, I figure I should lay this out clearly one more time, and I guess CCRunner is lynched today so thanks to those helping clean out his cult. So here's what I'm offering/asking regarding all these items:
I will split the gold evenly with those that vote for it unless given very compelling/public reason why someone doesn't deserve a share. So I guess that could end up anywhere from 6-7 gold to everyone to more to fewer people if only they support me...I'll just promise an even split.
I will also unvote: thesilver knife right now. Note, I am not specifically saying I know who should have it, and its possible use against the vampires still seems imperative. Me being unable to use it except in defense afaik is a factor in this, and I'm not sure it's a guaranteed defense or what. So everybody will have to decide on this wisely; I'm open to being convinced. Same for the other items.
I would like to emphasize that I still want the braces of armor for a little more protection right now. Thanks.

The Tall Councilor takes in the events going on around him. He seems oblivious to the nature of the activity, distracted by events much greater than any item vote or lynch vote. Despite the activity going on around him, people take notice at his walk, his posture, and the way is carries himself toward the front of the room. The councilors cautiously stopped what they were doing. Clearly, he was on a mission. Reaching the front of the room and standing atop a small rise, people seemed to expect a huge outcry, some fire and brimstone speech about something, but instead they were greeted with a calm presence and clarity.
"Councilors, a great decision is among us."
If the any other Councilors were still distracted by something else prior, they now gave their full attention."For too long has this Undercouncil's prestige and power been stripped away by petty rivalries, single-minded cultists, and individual greed. For too long have we squandered our advantage of secrecy and deception. Today, enemies have infiltrated our ranks and threaten our very existence. Today enemies gather at our doorstep and already have struck against us, though I can't say I'm particularly disappointed with who they killed. Our presence is felt and noticed across the world, and factions from all over seek to take advantage of our current weakness. This, I cannot, and will not stand for."
The audience offers an applause, some more vocal in their support then others. The Tall Councilor notices the few that seem almost apprehensive in responding positively but are doing so anyway for appearances. He soldiers on with his speech."At the peak of our influence, nations feared the idea of the Undercouncil and specifically the Nightwatch spies we used to gather our intelligence and carry out our decisions. We lived in the shadows, a figment of sorts to other nations. At our best, we were dismissed as a merely a soldier's tale or a rumor. At worst, they suspected we existed and tried their hardest to stop us, but all they ever caught was an illusion. Individual greed and religious ideology that deviates from Esus have destroyed that. I come to you today, because this changes tonight!"
And with that, he steps forward again, leans into the crowd, and issues the most shocking statement to date."I am the Captain of the Nightwatch, and to restore the Undercouncil to its former state I seek to reform the Nightwatch in the name of Esus!"
"Later tonight a vote will be called, and I urge all Councilors to participate. We will vote on reforming the Nightwatch, and I urge everyone here to vote 'for' the formation. Those loyal to the Undercouncil will surely see the merit in reforming the Nightwatch. Those with other ulterior motives I urge to vote against this resolution, as it will make identifying threats to the Undercouncil that much easier. I'm certain a satisfactory result will be issued tonight. As for who can join the Nightwatch, a secret vote will be held where each one of you can nominate someone, and I must stress each and everyone of you is eligible to be inducted. Now with night falling, everyone get your votes ready. I can assure you not voting in this vote will not be looked on kindly. Thank you, and good night."
As he steps off the stage, a mix of applause and hushed whispers signals the end of the speech. Some are beaming, others in shocked disbelief, and others trying to cringe without anyone noticing. Unfortunately for them, the Captain of the Nightwatch already knows who they are...

NotW XXXI: Night Five
The Captain of the Nightwatch now before you, you face a decision. The nightwatch is a powerful and sinister tool of Esus, the military arm of the Council. By reforming the nightwatch, you will lend great power to the Undercounil to root out its enemies and destroy those who oppose it.
Know, however, that two of the Council will become Nightwatch, and they will forever owe their allegiance to the Undercouncil.
It is in the hands of the councilors to vote.
