Okay, Wine in Front of Me is a logical fallacy, and is a situation of circular reasoning which wears out both parties involved. I'm going to paraphrase the situation (forgive me William Goldman/Rob Reiner):
The Man in Black has reached his third enemy (after defeating the blademaster Inigo Montoya and the Turkish strongman Fezzik), the evil Sicilian Vizzini, who has captured the Princess Buttercup. Vizzini has set up a picnic for TMiB, presumably to negotiate a price for the Princess. TMiB proposes another solution: he will poison one of the glasses, and Vizzini must choose which glass he will. Whoever lives gets Buttercup. Whoever dies...dies. Vizzini shifts in between faulty logic, eventually overthinking his predicament, and he begins to choose the wine in front of him, but then forces TMiB to look the other way, as he switches the glasses. After they drink, Vizzini laughs hysterically, revealing his deception. That is, until he drops dead. TMiB spent years building up a tolerance to the poison, and therefore he poisoned both glasses. Moral of the story: don't overthink, Agan and Menel. I know I'm x-ing with Agan, so I'm just going to say that if we had a descriptive death post, we might know how Boro was killed.

Moral of the story: Rocks fall, everybody (but Bowie) dies from lack of making Princess Bride references. Bowie, if you did kill Boro, you made a mistake. If nothing else you always keep Boro around for the fun quotes. Going to work in about an hour, and I don't think I want to risk getting on the internet there, so we'll see how I feel like voting then. I suppose it would help you all get a better read on me if I made a bit of a suspicion list, so I'll see what I can do, savvy?

Yeah sally I would most definitely keep Boro around longer, especially in this quiet a village.
I just find it pretty hard to see he was killed as a bluff. I think Nog's the only one who even could bluff by killing Boro, and he wouldn't do it this early. Unless maybe if he was like totally convinced Boro was the seer, which I don't think was possible. Still, I wouldn't exclude the possibility he was considered the seer... Anyway I'm not sure how much it helps that we discuss Boro's death over and over again. Well in lack of anything else...

I don't know why and I can't put my finger on it, but sally makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Somehow she reminds me of the cobbler-sally I've seen... But then again she's quite involved now which I don't think cobbler-sally was.

Problem is, I don't know who to vote for. Everyone's either quiet or not that suspicious. Very frustrating.

P.S. There's not a cobbler in this game, is there? (Sorry, I need to reread the admin thread because the game's not really explained all in one post, so I think I've missed a lot.)

Nope there's no cobbler unless it wasn't mentioned in the rules.

Wait, I don't think Menel would have killed Boro either. I remember him making a comment on the admin thread that he missed playing with him. Or something along those lines. Again, could be a bluff in-game, but I don't think so.
(Sorry, my mom called, so I'll just submit this and then get back to things and see what, if anything, I've missed.) EDIT: x'd with Miss Agan. Thanks for clearing that up, love. Didn't think there was one, but I figured I'd missed it.

I don't think saying I would kill Boro just because I'm a newbie is a very good argument, sally. I don't think it's you trying to cast suspicion on me, I merely think it's a badly thought out argument. The only reason I can think of for Boro being rendered a lycanthropic or, um, bearly chewtoy is because he's so good.
