Okay, now I have looked at the people who followed Nog's case on Roa, and– surprise! surprise! One of them was Boro.

I admit I scan the rules and am liable to miss things, but if someone can't get the number of wolves correct, or the roles that's either plain laziness to not read the captain's notes or someone's faking ignorance. And in this circumstance the number of wolves was stated in more than one place. You are anything but lazy in your analysis Roa, to state the wrong number of wolves, looks more than an innocent slip or failure in double checking.
And the other's Eomer:

Neither of them pursued this, though. I had an impression that people jumped on the "case" much more than they actually did, I think because Nogrod was making so much noise about it.

The fact that Boro was one of them and apparently tried to discourage me from checking actually makes me feel somewhat better about him– because I don't think Borowolf would do anything as silly as that. Eomer has been rather slipping around the edge of things and just chiming in with people... but there's not really enough to go on with him yet.

A point in his favour is that he voted Mnemo, who is suddenly looking very sinister to me after her last post:

At the same time, how wolvish is that?
So far, so good– but then we have this:

What concrete, rational reason is that? In her "analysis" she gives only one real reason for suspecting him:

Looks at Nienna and Lottie and here's where something really looks fishy. Let's give them credit for trying to start up the game by restating the rules (which tends to look helpful without being helpful...)?
But what she's talking about is apparently this:

i.e. two very obvious ic jokes.

I mean– what?

Well, I could mention Rangers and crossbows....

Brinn, yes, it was a bit of a stretch. However, it fit very nicely with the feelings I was having about your Nerwen-vote, so I added it anyway.
