Hello all ye people, I am back!

Well, I have gone somewhat through what's been posted. I am just trying to settle my thoughts. As I haven't been much around before, let me go aloud through some things which have been no doubt mentioned here, but these are for myself.

We are a little bit like in a situation similar to a normal Day 2, because we just got one unknown Wolf (apart from the things we can conclude about his/her identity from what Rikae and/or, as someone mentioned, Celuien posted and/or how do we think Rikae might have picked her Wolf. There's the thing of course, that Cel may not have been informed by Rikae about the other Wolf at all).

As for the people who are around. Sally, it's nice from you to be so fair to everyone, however this of course has nothing to do with the game itself... let us bear this in mind. Anyway, she made good point about Roa, which has been mentioned. I have the feeling more people are going to stop by this. Roa puzzles me, as she is plainly discussing what she would or would not do, in fact, she is herself bringing up the subject "I can be a Wolf and why". There is the "I am not a good lone wolf" part - she is technically saying: "I wouldn't be a good pick", but whichever way it can be interpretated, we should remember that it's not about what Roa thinks about herself, but what Rikae could have thought about her. Then there's the point made by somebody (hey, wasn't it even Roa herself...) that Rikae did not know that this is her last Wolf, which is true. Anyway, there she is continuing, concerning the possibility of her killing Gwath while he suspected her. This is more interesting. "But I can kill a person who suspects me," says Roa to Sally, which we can read simply as: "I may have killed him!". A logically thinking person must think: why would she say that (if she's a Wolf), as it destroys one argument for her innocence? And now we may start to think: Is it just Roa, or is it pre-emptive strike because someone could say that instead of her "but Roa actually did once kill..." and then when she says it about herself, it won't look as bad as if somebody else said it; or is it something else - like that Roa-wolf simply confuses us... whatever. But anyway, then Roa continues: "This was the only game of WW I ever lost." It may be merely stating the fact. But it may be also (from Roa-wolf) a negation of the before said, as it subtly says: "I lost because of it, so (as you readers must conclude) I won't be that stupid to do it again!"
It may also be that she is simply "giving it up", or, how to say that, playing not too carefully and doing things like that, playing "the odds for me are not great, so let's just have fun with the playing, try to confuse them by posting like this and if I am lucky, they'll let me win".

Or it may be a brutal frame-up against Roa.

In that case I would suggest it coming from Morm.

Okay, anyway. I see my post has turned into a Roalysis more than anything else. There is not also probably much more I can post at the moment... the other important things are:
- I agree that likely, picking Lommy would have been quite too dangerous for Rikae.
- Eönwë I can't get much read on... I think his post is more or less the same as these ones on Days before.
- LG... hard to say anything specific...

*scratches head* Must think on the rest. But hope you have at least something from me to chew... and all... anyway, I am around. Hooray, see ya.

EDIT: x-ed with Eönwë's 1419 and after that. He looks... quite normal, I'd say. If he's a wolf, he can do it the way that he seems ordinary.
