Latched onto it?

My dear Aiwendil, I do not deny that the fact that Anguirel had just voted for Boromir played a part in my choice to vote for him. As a matter of fact, it played a very major role in things. It was my intention to even the number of candidates up for lynching who were tied. At that point, I believe that Gil and one other villager (not sure who) were at two votes each- but I'm not positive on that count. It was my intention, therefore, to add another candidate to the leading number of ballots, going along with the school of thought that suggests that spreading the votes around makes for better next-day analysis.

And yes, it was a bit of a "safe" vote in that respect- but I remind you that Day 1s are typically devoid of logical reasons for voting, and since no one in the village had made an obvious slip like saying "I am a Werewolf", if I wished to have my vote to serve a purpose it made more sense to level the voting field a little than to try and find someone suspicious.

And, for what it's worth, I did find Boromir to be slightly out of character... but that could be an absence of time as much as anything else.

Now, on the subject of the dead seer, we are really in a fix here, since the Seer would only have had one dream before her death that we can find clues to- if she even left any! From my own stint as Seer, I know it's possible that she didn't even leave any at all.

And, even if we DO find this one innocent/guilty villager, that's not a lot of help...
