I sent in a trait claim to Cliges (seer scan on DNFC) since I had the ghost whisperer trait and got Claude's would have been last scan. I just wasn't sure claiming an evolved trait would have been a death trap like guilds.
I'll touch on this in my AAR, but claiming the evolved trait would have been a LOT better for you. In general, always tell as much of the truth as you possibly can in WW games, even as a baddie - it will help you in the long run.
