Boro has been very clever. Question is, is he an absolute rock star of an ordo, in which case I am very impressed (he should probably be considered a gifted regardless of role in the future) ... or is he a wolf who tried a bold plan that backfired, in which case ... I'm still pretty impressed, tbh. I love that kind of stuff.

But at the end of the day, if it was a wolf plan it was a flawed one and I think Boro's too clear thinking to try it. So, Rune. Which makes this a very, very under-reindeer pack.

I am curious - if he is, in fact, a wolf, what do you think was his plan and where has it backfired?

Probably to flush out the seer, and the actual seer remained alive until the endgame, so that's a pretty major backfire.

Possible. Though if the reason was "gain trust and steer the village"... I guess the optimal wolf ploy would be to combine those two. You gotta realize though, the longer you live that way the less chance of you actually being the Seer.

And now we have to do the obligatory waiting till DL, and then till toMorrow, to find out who the last wolf was. Bummer. I wish we could fast forward.

He basically made himself guaranteed to be dreamed by the actual seer, which is why I wasn't worried about it.

On the other hand, if Rune is guilty that means Boro, as an ordo, was right about basically everyone but Eonwe and still managed to not die. What are the odds?

My gut still says Rune is innocent, and I'll feel super stupid if he turns out a wolf.

I did provide cover and protect you from the infectors until yesterday. I hope that counts for something.
Why would Ordomir88 plead with Brinn not do dream him? He'd have nothing to fear. Besides, with just him and Rune left undreamed, the result would be the same either way. Nah, he just enjoys messing with everybody now. He's a wolf.

Just banter, if he's a wolf Brinn would get him either way.
