Nerwen: I wonder who "Izzy's wolf" was? There may be a clue in her posts.
I glanced over her posts briefly when finding Boro's posts, and I didn't see anything, but I didn't look at them all together. There might be something there - it would certainly be nice!

1. For a moment I thought you were talking about me.

2. Why would the wolves think she was the seer and that she'd found a Boro-wolf? If that was true, she'd have either gone after him far more aggresively, or she'd have revealed. They could have thought she was the Seer and would dream of him, though - and that could be the reason. Or it could have been bluff, or it could have been killing someone who never seems to get lynched, or it could have been that they don't like yellow flowers. Really, trying to guess the wolves' reasoning is rather shooting in the dark.

EDIT: xed with a Nerwen

As I said last game, very often the reason for the kill is something that seems obvious to the wolves but never occurs to the village. However, if you'll take the word of someone who has been a wolf a lot, the fact is that when you're furry everyone who glances at you sideways looks like the Seer. And in this particular set-up they wouldn't have taken any chances.

So no, it's not certain they thought she was the Seer, of course, but I think it's a reasonable theory.

EDIT:X'd with two Lotties.

Eh, I'll have to take your word for it - I've never been a wolf (Cursed, yes, but that's not quite the same). Anyway, anything having to do with the Seer points to Boro - and that certainly does serve to further my "Boro is a wolf" theory.

And I know I still owe you one, Boro. I'll pay you back next game, k? Good.
