"Alas! This is getting nastily much more complicated..." Nogrod said as he took his early morning pint and leaned over the desk.

"I have been a firm believer on Boro's list so far, and somehow am still. But for the right decisions to be made toDay, we have to open that up too. I must've been too much in my stuff that morning to not notice it.

So brother and sisters, either we believe the list and vote for a female or then we trust Glirdy to have made a slip and vote a male.

Okay. Glirdy might make a slip. It'd be rather bad modding but possible. At least there seems to be an error in this morning's declaration. It's said that we know we only have one more chance to find the fiend, although that's not the case. If we don't kill the ranger toDay, s/he might still save us one more time. So Glirdy might slip or just make a mistake. As a non-native speaker it's hard for me to judge how easily that kind of mistakes occur with nativespeakers.

But there is a further problem here too. If he actually slipped, then Volo is a wolf. And very unthoughtful one too. I mean: if there was any reason for the wolf to believe there were information or hunches around that the wolf is a male, why did he go after Sleepy? Lynching someone else yesterDay would have probably secured Sleepy-lynch toDay and his success! As you surely wish to speculate about my wolvishness too, consider this: A Noggie-wolf would have made a case against Lommy last night and made sure to vote early enough before Maca so as to nail her down. He would have had all the time and resources for that.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but as I see it, either Volo is a wolf who just didn't see that there was a relatively secure, or at least more reasonable way for him open yesterDay. When he voted Lommy was leading by two votes to one and he tied the situation instead of going for Lommy. Or then, if Volo is an innocent, then Glirdy didn't slip but only made a mistake.

I have argued for Boro's list already earlier and won't go into detail with it anymore. But as it looks credible enough, it's pretty hard for me to let go of it. Surely it would help if someone else would show where it goes wrong or present a more credible explanation to both it's status as a list and to the dreams of Boro. I'm surely more keen on tracking the wolf than believing in a list just for the list's sake. But if it wasn't a list of actual innocents but just his hunches, then Boro has been basically misleading us as our Seer which is kind of hard for me to believe. As Maca said (#322): "#272 is as close to an innocent list as it gets".

Nogrod felt a bit dizzy and decided to help himself yet another pint. Then he sat down with his pipe to think.
