A night-killed seer still gets their dream, right? Modgod?
I mean, it only indicates that we trust Boro, and we don't know anything. Nor does he, if you're right - Lhuna could be innocent. But yeah, it draws attention to the interaction. We could go for another of his suspects.

I'm not so convinced Boro is the seer, but I'll go with the consensus for now.

I'd be okay with a Dun vote. It would certainly clear up more things in the living thread, and it's not like I'm convinced of his innocence. That said, if a "better" candidate is brought up, say Lottie or Steve for instance, I wouldn't complain.

The thing that it paints a target on his face is what I thought and why I suggested Zil instead. See above. If he's still alive, he may continue to push Lhuna toMorrow. If he isn't, people may deduce as much from his posts and go after her too. And in either of the cases we can vote her toMorrow.

If Mac suspected Boro as Seer based on nothing, but a solid read-through, then methinks the wolves would be catching on by now too?

I was thinking it over and came to a few theories about Boro.
1) BoroSeer dreamt an innocent Lommy, dreamt a guilty Lhuna. He's playing everything pretty close to the vest to avoid detection.
2) He's a wolf and I'd say Lommy might be one too. I say that because of Huin's persistent suspicion of her, but then he'd vote elsewhere. This is a very bold move for wolves, but if two wolves are lynched Boro and Huin and one suspected Lommy and the other defended her, then she might be perceived innocentish in the aftermath.
3) He's a perceptive innocent who is leaving fake clues to draw wolves to him as the seer. In which case, Lommy is likely innocent.

Personally, I find Zil to be the most suspicious, followed by Eonwe as a submarine wolf, with Lhuna as a slightly distanced third.

Except perhaps our Wolves aren't the brightest, given that it took them one Night and basically outright confirmation from you before they decided to kill you. What say you, our local Wolf? Is your pack not the brightest?

(Or perhaps they are just indecisive. That would point to Greenie.)

I mean, your Ranger wasn't the brightest. Maybe the village it's the infection eat away at our brains.

Well, given how yesterDay's lynch went, I wouldn't rule that possibility out...

Has anyone gotten a read on Rune? I forgot he was playing until I saw a mention of him. Talk about a submarine.

He seemed super okay to me, largely because I agreed with 99% of what he said and the remaining 1% was stuff where I originally also thought the same and then changed my mind.

If he's a Wolf, he's a very good one. He at least seems to have his own mind too.

That isn't to say he can't be a Wolf - anybody can - but probably no reason making him the center of our interest. Yet.

I would say we're thick as two short planks, but I'm not sure we're clever enough to use planks.

That's kind of a similar behaviour to Hui.
I really want to promise that next game I will just point at people and scream "WOOOOLF!" if they look dodgy.

But I can't. It is totally foreign to my nature.
