Point taken.

And I also see the point that picking anybody else at this point is just as much a shot in the dark as a living vote is.

But there's also a wicked part of me that feels like messing with Boro.

Cobblerism is contagious.

If you were to mess with Boro, would it be +-Eonwe? Or Ka?

I think if Boro actually wants him lynched he'll try to keep the ball rolling, and if he doesn't, he'll try to redirect it. If I'm right about Ka, maybe some others looking at him as a possible seer, he may be able to.

But if we go for someone already under a lot of suspicion we'll seal their face, which seems too risky.

And because I can just imagine Boro's frustration if he's made a lovely plan and we mess it up trying to protect him! So,. I've convinced myself:

++Rune

Edit: fixing autocorrect

Ok I'm a newbie here so I'll do what I'm told - I'll just wait to see if the rest of the A team agree.

Btw I remember Roa too. She was formidable.

I had a misadventurous session as Seer in Lommy's Werepenguin game. I dreamed Boro the first night, and got sent a hilarious picture of a Rockhopper...anyway I got overexicted and tried to go after Boro straight away, he turned the lynch-mob around on me so I had to out myself. Roa stood beside me like a furious mother dragon at deadline, absolutely incandescent with rage at the village who had tried to lynch their seer - it was scary but strangely comforting.

Looks like autocorrect won after all.

I mean it would be hilarious to see his reaction to seeing a QT vote of ++Boromir88.

+- Votes List

Also for future reference:

Boro->Rune
Lommy->Eönwë (with THE Ka and Zil as B-options)
Greenie->Zil (with "THE Ka a strong runner up. I wouldn't actively mind Eonwe, Shasta, Brinn or Kath either.")
Zil->Brinn
Rune->Zil (secondary being Brinn and Eönwë)
Lottie -> Ka and Zil (equally)
Kath ->Zil and Eönwë
THE Ka->Shasta
