Cailín has just left Hobbiton.
I am not so sure about Boromir.

I still maintain that a double-lynch yesterday was the rational thing to do, and that it would only have worked against the village in case of a gifted Aganzir (and it turns out that she is indeed gifted and able to prove it). However, had she not been gifted, but ordinary, we would still have lynched her today and wasted valuable time in finding the critics.

An elaborate defense of Aganzir without knowing her role sounds like Cobbler-ish behaviour... Everyone knows that had she not been the soulmate, the village would have been obliged to lynch Aganzir, simply because the Seer's legacy is the closest thing to evidence a village can have.

Perhaps this is due to personal experiences: every time another villager has defended me in the past, especially when I was Gifted, it turned out this seemingly helpful person was a wolf (I remember an occasion with our lovely TGWBS and me wasting my Ranger powers defending his lycantropic skin every night) and we are all so easily won.

I have no intention to take the phantom's proposed leap of faith here.

I hadn't thought of it that way before.

I'm sorry, I have to vote pretty early.

Potential cobbler maybe, but it's more or less a random vote.

It didn't occur to you that I might not have opposed a double lynch so much had I not been a gifted? I understood perfectly well that I wouldn't have been able to prove my innocence if I had been ordo, and I would have been lynched today anyway.
Also, it's twisting the truth to claim that lynching me today would have wasted time to find the critics. The only thing that would have wasted time would have been to automatically assume that I was a wolf and interpret everything in that light today. I dare guess you wouldn't have concentrated only on me today anyway, although that's certainly what the wolves would have tried to do.

It occurred to me as well, but I'm not sure if I agree. Because there was a chance tgwbs hadn't dreamed of either of us.
