Okay, so what we have...

Innocents:
Galadriel55 - Seer, apparently
Morsul the Dark - the Hunter, apparently

Baddies:
Boromir88 - either Hacker or Bot

Likely baddies:
Blind Guardian - either Hacker or rather loud Bot or a really really confused ordo

Others:
Kitanna
Shasta

Basically, I think we have Boro and BG as the most likely suspects for now, and if they are not both Wolves, then we would have to continue after that. Personally, Shasta's eagerness to lynch Boro, even though obviously right, may be a way to ditch a Hacker instead of a Wolf and/or distance oneself from a packmate.

Anyway, I think lynching Boro at this point is the best way, because even if he happened to be a Hacker, it is certain that he's a baddie down. And I would not put it past him to try to pass as Hacker if he is a Bot anyway, and all that...

If he turns out to be a Hacker and not a Bot, I guess I would start being a bit more watchful about Shasta. Though BG is also still very much suspicious, but if Boro turns out to be a Bot, I would more likely see BG as Hacker. Because I don't know who else but those two behaves in a Cobbler-y manner here. Of course, Cobblers can be also subtle, but I would still expect them to be somewhat loud.

Anyway, thinking ahead. It is relatively certain that toMorrow, there will be 5 people left. I guess we can presume that we lynch a baddie toDay (Hacker or Wolf, at this point it really does not matter which) and that the WWs will kill somebody during the Night, that is probably the Seer. Really a pity we don't have the Ranger anymore!

It leaves known innocents, probably: Morsul and me, and then one other Ordo and one Wolf and one Wolf/Cobbler. Basically the lynch the next Day should be a baddie; it is important to keep the innocents voting together.

The balance of numbers at this point actually makes me wonder if Boro really is a Hacker. A way to try to tip the balance in the Wolves' favor after G55's and Morsul's reveal. Then again, BG could be too, just a Hacker who did not act early enough or wasn't determined enough to stop G55 and was in the last minute trying to help the Wolves after she had calculated how the numbers stand at the moment. That would actually maybe make even more sense, and in that case, Boro is really a Wolf.

Okay, I guess there is no reason to prolong this any more,

++Boro

I think the setup is clear at least for now.

Now, onto our seers. G55 was playing rather erratically since day one. I would have sworn she was the hacker day one, I wasn't so sure day two when she dropped the banter. Today she revealed right away and I didn't think she was a bot, but again thought if she wasn't really the seer she was a hacker.

Now that Boro has also revealed I'm thinking G55 is probably innocent. I can't trust Boro because he's been known to pull the wool over people's eyes with his cunning. When he gets desperate to survive he will pull all manner of crazy things. He's been sparse this game so I could understand why he wasn't the first to post, but if he was really the seer he'd have revealed first chance he got after G55 and he didn't.
