Indeed, Nerwen, Rikae's apparent self-sacrifice my be merely an attempt to divert suspicion, yet at the same time may just be her way of spicing up the game. I have yet to decide if she is harboring balrog tendencies or if she's just baking up some cobbler with which to bait the balrogs. My apologies, I like to make stupid jokes.
I, on the other hand, am quite certain of my standing as a poor miner, although I realize I could do nothing to convince you, my fellow villagers, of such things. In the meantime, I shall simply watch and wait, and perhaps even stumble over a balrog or two over the course of the day's voting and discussion.
p.s. what are the odds I could be listed in the village numbers as sally? just because my full username is so long. i may change it, but i'm not really sure if i can yet or not. i'm going to go investigate that
