You must be counting different than I am. According to my count only Roa's vote for Di, your vote for lmp, and my vote for Di were proper. That would've seen Di lynched.

But besides, you can't go back after the fact. If that happened you would have to go back to Day 2 and play all over again, for Di's votes would no longer count the rest of the days, however the votes of those who had been "wrongfully lynched" (eg Boro on Day 1) would suddenly be allowed again, but since he was gone from Day 2 on he would have to go back and cast votes after the fact, and so on down the line. It would be a chain reaction that the only way to solve would be to rewind to day 2 and play over again- but of course if we did that knowing what we now know everyone would just vote for Fea and the game would end, thus it wouldn't solve anything.

I had this logic in mind before suggesting my strict interpretation.

What? Nothing is out of bounds when it comes to stopping WWs. Anything goes. Tis the Wolves who need to be sporting and somewhat honorable, for they are the ones attacking innocents without just cause.
