Yep, this be a strange one to decipher.

Ok, ok, Shasta comes out on Day One and professes that he is an Ordo. This was seen by some as strange, though I thought "fair enough" seeing how the majority of villagers have some sort of role.

But in this village, as has been remarked upon, this is a clear invitation, whether deliberate on Shasta's part or not, for the BBW to choose him. There's a fair chance he has been chosen by BBW, and a decent enough chance of him actually being LRC - and thus a wolf.

Is it enough to go on? Maybe he was bluffing and was a wolf to begin with, or possibly even a good gifted. And there was originally a greater chance of him being a normal Ordo, but now that Nienna and Lommy have been proven normal...
