I think potterwatch should spread out the invites, but maybe potterwatch wasn't sure who would be available for posting night 3 since he has to invite an hour before the show

Legilmens Strategy post:
Legilmens is an extremely difficult spell and only advanced wizards are going to be capable of doing it. All students save Harry are almost certainly going to be 0%. Most adult wizards will probably fall in the 1-3% range. Harry may have a slight chance of casting it successfully since he is able to block Snape's attempt on him and access his mind in book 6. I'd give it 10%. Dumbledore is quite adept at this spell and should be good at it and he is probably more adept at this than unforgivable curses due to his nature. As Dumbledore, I think you should jsut do what you think is most beneficial. XXX is known as the best legilmens of all-time and will likely never fail except against Snape, Harry, or Dumbledore and only Snape would be certain failure.
This brings me to my point: Snape is an EXCELLENT legilmens. He is able to penetrate others thoughts freely and was so good that he was able to fool XXX for a decade about his allegiance. While he will be excellent at all spells his value is probably not in trying to get kill shots on players we are trying to resolve. He would have much more value in getting 1-3 peeks per day (I can't imagine that hes worse than 50% at legilmens and should probably be 100% vs. all but the very best wizards if lore holds). If he finds wolves (or possibly villas with powers that are worth directing, read: vig, redirector, etc.) elsewhere he can imperio that player and use that to kill wolves in the night. Thus, I believe Snape should ONLY use legilmens and imperio as an ITA.
That said, we cant have him being the only one to try this. All non-wizards should be using the same two spells, weighted toward legilmens. These people are going to miss with other curses anyways, but this way they can cover for a confirmed power role and while wolves may know that Snape is one of the players using legilmens theyre gonna have a tough time picking out which one when he has 15 people covering for them and most are confirmed not power roles. If you are a squib, non-wizard, golbin, or even a really weak student then it benefits the village to use your spells this way. The other benefit to this is that a continuous string of visible misses will NOT out you as a weak role and force wolves to consider killing you.
Good wizards who are not Snape, Dumbledore, or possibly Harry should NEVER cast legilmens. Its a pure waste of ability for these people. This inlcudes people like sirius, lupin, mcgonagall, flitwick, adult weasleys, etc.
Remember, these spells are revealed via pm so no one will know if you hit or missed which allows you to keep up the charade for a long time.

If the host of potterwatch's role was revealed in the thread, would the host of potterwatch potentially dance around it in order not to activate the anti-claiming mechanism from the OPs? 'Cause if the host of potterwatch has been peeked, then I think the host of potterwatch would not be breaking any rules by admitting what somebody else reveals. I think.
I am a wizard!
