There's seven of us now. That's enough to let Boro live for one more Day, if we had some way of proving if he's true during the Night. I'm just afraid we don't have a means and not lynching him today would at worst (ie if he's a baddie/independent) more dead innocents. I have the feeling that if we don't lynch him toDay, we won't lynch him at all, and that might prove fatal...

Actually, I think Boro might be killed next Night in case he can't protect himself anymore (if he ever could do that) and there's no ordinary ranger. So, on second thought, I agree with Volo, let's leave killing him to the wolf if there's any and if no one dies we either have a ranger who should come out and say s/he's around toMorrow or Boro's a baddie and we should lynch him then. In either case I guess we can afford this tactics.

If you assume that Boro is evil/independent and there have been four wolves and a priestess and just one gifted (the druid) it would be logical to assume there was a ranger as well. So, what makes sense depends on the viewpoint. And of course I don't know whether there's a ranger or not. I'm just assuming. In case Boro's telling the truth I don't think there (necessarily) is a ranger. But in case he's evil then I'm pretty sure there is.

So, I agree to go on toDay on the assumption there's one wolf left and a good bear, even though it feels a bit unprobable. That will be more fruitful use of the Day than arguing about Boro's identity in case I'm wrong and doesn't spoil anything in case I'm right.

So: if there was still a wolf around, who would it be? (I'm going on the assumption that there was originally just 5 wolves, not 6, because while 5 wolves would be a highly challenging threat, 6 wolves is just too much.)

It might be Gil. We can't know. I'm not 100% sure can we lynch him though since we might need to use toMorrow's lynch to Boro.

Volo and Nogrod seem innocent to me. Aganzir felt innocent to me too. And they've all felt innocent the same way to me all the time (except occasional nagging suspicion) and it troubles me because I might be trusting them simply because they are people I know from RL and so I might unconsciously think "s/he's a nice guy, there's no reason to suspect him/her". The things should not be so, since two people out of seven is almost the third of the village, and not being able to trust one's own opinion about 33% of the people surely is a bad thing... Anyway, ignoring that psychic wobbling, I'm ready to say they feel innocent. Their reasoning is innocentish, I think.

Now morm... He could be either way. I have the feeling that he's clashing with me again and that usually happens when we're both innocents. He seems pretty genuine, but the things he says he could so well say if he was a wolf as well...

Now Sixth. He's quite suspicious I think. He jumped all too eagerly on my case against Boromir. A wolf could do that. And I can see a wolf-Sixth doing that. On the other hand, he's still somewhat newbie to this game and when some relatively experienced ww-player (like me) presents a theory with certainity, it's easy just agree. (I did that in my first game. But then again, this is definitely not Sixth's first game.) He has been quite slipping under people's radar, maybe purposfully and some of his votes have been a bit questionable... I could vote him toDay.

And as to the alpha wolf question, I'd rather think that as long as there were three or more wolves, they'd get 2 kills per Night and when there is just 2 or 1 of them, they get just one kill. I think it would be more sensible than having an alpha-wolf around...

(Sorry for the flip-flopping/illogicalness, I just thought while writing so this posts kind of records my thinking process rather than presents ready thoughts...)
