Short version - basically okay.

Ok, I'll do what I'm told. I do think he's innocent though.

Really? If you have time to elaborate later on why, I'm curious.
I haven't gotten a read on him at all. Which, makes me immediately suspicious at this point. To be this far in and not having any opinion worries me. But again, I've only skimmed toDay, I'm probably missing something.

I thought him innocent originally. But hey. In any case, it will at least get some discussion started about him. Which - even if we imagine that he was innocent - would force the Wolves to also express their opinions on him and they can either be caught suddenly jumping at him or defending him or need to interact with him if he's their packmate or whatever.

Come on, Team Evil, they've only got three votes on Rune! We could still swing this!

On the note of further spamming, now I did a really quick run-through of Rune and there's that, his super-independent voting behaviour plus the fact that he did not much interact with any of our resident Wolves. Greenie mentioned earlier in the thread that he's possible packmate for Hui but unlikely one for Lhuna because Lhuna undermined the likelihood of him being innocent based on my death, which did not make much sense, but perhaps exactly that was the way to safely distance oneself from a fellow... perhaps Lhuna could tell us something about that?

Note that this is all rather a justification afterwards for why to vote him than picking up reasons beforehand and then deciding to vote him based on that.

Since Boro's back, I'm waiting for some last-minute wisdom from him (but not that it matters now).

Hey if I couldn't get him on the other side, I could at least do so (in principle) here.



Also I wish people would stop using [name of Downer]-alysis: it conjures images of the said Downer spontaneously bursting.

I enjoy the confusion the QT vote has sowed (sown, sowned...) on the GT. It is delightfully fun to watch.

Like, if Boro's been trying to hint us something else than that we should vote him, he did a bad job of making it clear.

Occurred to me now in the last moment that maybe he intended a two-way communication, i.e. "I suspect Rune, you check him yourselves and if your collective intelligence agrees with me, send me back a 'yes', if not, vote someone else" - but to be fair, a bit late for that. (Also yesterDay it worked totally differently.)

Anyway we can see.
