Yep, I'm surprised I lasted this long. I'm your Seer.

And I can tell you that your logic on Boromir is right on: he is a wolf. And let me tell you, it's been heck to try and keep quiet enough about him to not draw too much attention to myself.

Here is who I have dreamed of:

Night One: Boromir
Night Two: Rikae (as you can see, that did me a lot of good...and I knew that was going to happen)
Night Three: Naria
Night Four: Nogrod

Obviously Rikae was innocent, Naria was a wolf.

Nogrod is innocent.

I want to apologize for yesterday: I knew of two wolves by then, but did not speak out. Why? Because I felt like Naria was a likely goner anyway, and I knew that, with a fellow wolf on the line, the other two wolves would be much more likely to stand out, slip up, whatever. And, of course, I wanted another Night to dream. It was insanely nerve-wracking trying to figure out who to dream of, and it came down to being between Nogrod and Valier. I thought about rolling a die to pick which one, but instead ended up going for Nogrod. I wish in a way that I had rolled the die, because flipping a coin on Day One to decide between Ang and Boro ended quite well...

I wanted to dream of Nogrod because I knew he would bother me. I thought it unlikely he would be a wolf when he voted with Boro, but I also thought it a possible 'double bluff' thing...and that would have driven me crazy, not knowing, particularly because he is so out-spoken.

I wanted to dream of Valier because I find her a likely wolf candidate. But I think Volo and Farael are likely enough, too. Boromir could have been trying to distance himself from Farael in raising suspicion of him and voting for him twice, but I find that a little too excessive to be very likely. Volo is a possibility, but I really cannot tell. I find Valier's behavior more wolf-like, and I have noticed very little if any interaction between Val and Boro.

Okay...so why am I coming out now? Because I just can't stand the stress anymore, that's why! I was horribly tempted to try and last another Night, because I so want to catch the last wolf, but...by tomorrow, with two innocents possibly down (and with a fine possibility that I might be killed in the Night)...that's just cutting it way too close. I'd also be placing my bets on dreaming of the last wolf, or at least clearing a key innocent. And I'm not much of a gambler.

So...here I am. Sorry for being late, and all those who died to further my purpose.

If you'd like an explanation of my behavior, here's one in short: I wanted to stay alive in both respects. I wanted the wolves to like me because I was just a stupid villager, but I wanted to seem innocent, too...the result: well...whatever it was I was doing.

If you don't believe me...we're screwed.

So, you going to put up a fight, Boro.

Edit: Okay, so "likely goner" in reference to Naria was an exaggeration. I waited so long to vote for a reason. :P

You escaped our grasp long enough Durelin...I will give you that. You did good, we had no idea. We thought Diamond was it for sure.

See I kind of thought you were the wretched Seer, but when you said things like I lightened some of your suspicion and you went after innocents I thought for sure you weren't...I can't congradulate you because it means my end...but you get the idea.

If only there was no seer, oh what could bE?

I could be of some help...perhaps with some promises that you will kill me nicely and not mutilate my body I may be of some service to let you know who my partner is.

Well, first of all, I have to say that my non-voting has nothing to do with my role. It is not something I planned, sadly I thought that the deadline was 5 PM my time (when I'm almost always home) and instead it is 4 PM (when I GET home... which means that if my bus is running late, or if anything else comes up I'll miss it) I've been gambling with that since I don't like voting early, nor retracting my vote, but so far it hasn't worked out for me.

You can believe me or not, that's not up to me, but I thought I should let you know.

Durelin my apologies... it seems my group of three was 33% right (at least, I'm still not sold on CoD's innocense, after all, Borowolf has protected him quite often and agreed with him. Say what you want, Boro IS smart enough to try to drag an ordo along with him, but it's also possible that he was trying to protect his friend.

I don't really have time now for a proper analysis of Boro but someone ([B]Nogrod, if you have time, since you are our only known Ordo... or Durelin if you can, since you are our Seer) may want to do it.

Ok, I can't really concentrate here... I'll wait for a charitable soul to analyze Borowolf and Naria too while we are at it.

Edit:P.S: you may all want to ignore Boromir from now on... don't try to read anything into what he says, since he knows it's game over for him and he'll try to confuse us

Farael, don't be so harsh, you don't think I want to help?

Yeah, but not help US... you want to help your wolfriend.

By the way, I should have gone with my gut instinct and gone banshee on Boromir... sadly CoD was a more "rational" choice. I shouldn't think, I should just vote for whoever seems the fishiest...

You shouldn't go 'banshee' on CoD, he's not my buddy.

Farael you might as well give up the act...it's over. But, if you don't want to your secret's safe with me.
