OK, Sally, morm and Lottie, possibly the most interesting thing to have happened toDay this far. Basically, Sally suspects Rune (R.I.P.) and concludes her analysis of him with a suggestion that he was killed as a potential member of a rival wolf pack. Morm thinks this is an odd conclusion and says it's more likely Rune was killed as a potential Seer, and suggests that Sally might be a wolf trying to distract us from this conclusion. Lottie thinks Sally's theory is not far-fetched and that morm's response is suspicious, and goes on to speculate that morm and Rune might be fellow wolves together with Formy or myself. That's about it, right?
First off, I agree with morm in that Sally's conclusion is odd. I'm not saying Rune can't be a wolf, of course he can, but he didn't, at least to me, seem any more suspicious than twenty-something other people. This is especially true with regard to the reasons why Sally found him suspicious: that he supported the no-lynch scheme (which is true for about half the village) and that he voted Form without wanting him to die (which is logical since he wanted a tie with no lynch, had to vote early and Form had volunteered). In fact, Sally's post seems like an odd mix of "this is why I suspect Rune" and "this is why he was Night-killed".
At the same time, Lottie is right in that a Sallywolf wouldn't have much to gain in trying to cover up Rune's potential Seerishness like morm suggested since it is rather obvious that if Rune was the Seer he hadn't dreamed a wolf yet. That said, Lottie's equation of "morm's argument doesn't make sense" and "morm is highly suspicious" is also rather odd.
My main qualm with Sally's theory is that I don't find her case against Rune particularly convincing, and I think it's unlikely the wolves spotted the same things she did, drew the same conclusions, and were convinced enough to use their kill on it. Unless, of course, Sally is a wolf and just now fell for the classic wolf mistake of explaining what really happened at Night.
