Okay so if Boro and tp are wolves, who would be their two mates and what the battle-plan?

Boro and tp know they are in the head of the seer's dreamtable so they need to do something quite spectacular so as to have a chance of avoiding the seer's consideration. It looks like an insurmountable task but these are both able and bold guys with a lot of intelligence. So what to do? Laying low or looking nice would not help, on the contrary that would be even more suspicious. So they get this grand idea of two strong innocents trusting each other from early on, making an infinite number of ploys and all the stuff, acting very confident as they go. And both declaring that the seer has dreamt of them already - giving an air of righteous pride of them being dreamt of so that the seer might trust them a bit more. It is obvious that the justice will be done after they die... And posing sometimes as seers as to avoid the real one to get picked (how unselfish that is, when you're yourself the one to decide on the kills... ) and on others as steering the wolf-vote to avoid the seer being targeted (and see, miracle happens: the wolves acted exactly like they predicted! So they had to be good! ) they try their best to keep the seer from not picking them but to trust them...

If Boro and tp are wolves something like that would be their only chance of avoiding the seer's eyes.

And who'd be their mates then? Looking at all of this, morm and Rune might be reasonable candidates. If the other "side" of the wolfpack had to pull that kind of a bluff - and were still in danger of being dreamt of - the other party should be very suspiciousof them, right? So if either "duo" prevailed in the beginning the other might carry it home as they would look clean and nice going after the other "pair" (see the mutual distrust between those "pairs" in this game).

And all those four would be from the pack of the "ancient werewolfers" who've been around from something like the very beginning like Fea has if my memory serves me right - and I would be surprised if Fea hadn't hand-picked the wolves...



Okay. That is a theory that would fit with the observed facts. A bit far-fetched you say? Well, maybe, but also too pretty not to speak it out aloud (and were it true I would blame myself later for not voicing it out as I started to see those connections).

It would indeed explain the behaviour of Boro and tp indeed.

But as I said already yesterday (RL), I'd leave Boro and tp for the seer as being innocents they would really be our greatest assets.

I'll dwell back to the thread and try to see if I can make any sense from the rest of the mess we're in...

EDIT: X'd with a host of posts... and pics!!! wow...
