Rikae
Her first suspicions were as such. She seemed to have a gut feeling about EW and was agreeing with Nogrod about my vote from Day 1. She ends up voting for one of her oranges though. Her vote for Nerwen makes sense in that she didn't like Nerwen's Form/Agan/Nilp brawl theory and she thought it was a premature wolf move.

But what about her red suspects? What had changed and why did Nerwen's not answering of her question push her high enough on Rikae's suspect list to be voted for?

Day 2:

She returns to suspecting EW above all others. She defends Mith against the Mith voters (Eonwe and Eomer) from Day 1. Because of the Ranger save she feels better about Nogrod. She makes a few comments regarding Eonwe's vote for Mith as a cross post or maybe a lie about a cross-post and/or that sort of speculation. Mostly it boils down to Rikae not thinking Eonwe was all that well reasoned in voting for Mith.

Quote:
If EW doesn't start speaking up in a helpful and non-evil manner very soon, I suggest we lynch him. He's contributing very little and what he does contribute exudes evil.
Granted quiet villagers (whether quiet for RL reasons or because they're hiding something) are dangerous. But in EW's case he could well have been a wolf kill that left few tracks, like many of the early kills were. What does that say about Rikae? I have no idea. Her vote from Day 2 broke the EW/Eonwe tie, but I don't find it overwhelming suspicious because it was clear from Day 1 she was going to vote for EW at some point or another.

Day 3:

She has one post where she votes for Form on a hunch. Because of RL issues she was unable to explain her hunch at the time.

Day 4:

Quote:
Formendacil~I thought him likely to choose Kath as a kill yesterDay, and he seems to be taking a very controlled, rather ... hypnotic? ... tone. I just have a bad feeling about him.
Here she explains a bit about Form.

She also lists her other suspicions in the same post.
Quote:
Kitanna~eh. I'm still uneasy about her, especially because of the way Shasta and Formendacil dismiss her.
Aganzir~Neg-repping and spamming do go well together...
Shastanis Althreduin~ I will have to look at him more closely. Really, he needs to be properly analysed, though I'm not sure I have time.
Some she has flying under her radar.
Quote:
satansaloser2005~Not getting much of a read on her, as usual.
THE Ka ~ No idea. Flying under the radar a bit.
Eönwë ~ Another that has fallen off the radar. There is far too much of this going on...
She defends Mith a bit.
Quote:
Mithalwen~Not looking especially suspicious to me at the moment, and I find myself wondering where that bandwagon yesterday came from.
She also states a belief in Boro's innocence.
Quote:
Boromir88~ToDay he seems quite sensible and sincere, at least.
Next she does a Shasta analysis and finds him less wolfish than before. Is not pleased with how the votes have been narrowed to Shasta and Mith. Doesn't feel inclined to vote for either. Feels nervous about Nogrod and I and entertains the idea Eomer may be the spammer.

Quote:
Eh? No one else found you suspicious yesterDay - if I thought you were doing something obviously suspicious, I would have pointed it out, even in the limited time I had - but I merely had a bad feeling. It was pretty obvious you weren't going to be lynched.
And I still find you suspicious toDay. I was just waiting to see if my suspicions would be confirmed by your behavior, and... guess what?
Responds to a Form query. Again she talks of her hunch and how Form has in a way done nothing to stop her suspicions of him. For the second day in a row she votes for him.

Day 5:

With Mith a confirmed wolf she apologizes to Form about her hunch vote and says either Shasta or Agan are wolves because of the way they followed her vote. Here is where I find myself confused. The reference to Agan's grinning. Creepy? Perhaps. But I never found it suspicious. And if I'm not mistaken (I have no time to check) others found it creepy as well.
She states Shasta's was the vote that almost saved Mith. She wonders why he voted Form and not Mith. She finds Agan more wolfish though and believes her reasoning for suspecting me is forced. She also believes the way Agan deals with Shasta is to ambiguous.
She explains what she found creepy about Agan's grinning and votes for her. She seems to believe Boro was the Ranger or at least her questioning his "ranger save" of Night 2 suggests she did.

Day 6:

Not a whole lot that points toward guilty or innocent.

Now what to think of Rikae.

Things that point toward innocence
She votes for Form two days in a row. I don't feel that's a wolfish thing to do. It could be, but such a move doesn't feel overwhelming evil.

Her votes and suspicions have been pretty constant since Day 1.

Things that point toward guilt
After Form survived a bandwagon she was willing to completely drop her hunch about him. Form was in no way confirmed an innocent at that point, I find it fishy she was so ready to apologize and forget him.

I don't understand why she voted Nerwen on Day 1 over EW who she seemed pretty sure was a newbie wolf. Or even me for that matter. We were both in her red zone and she didn't vote for us.

Things that could go either way
Her defense of Mith. I'm a bit rusty with WW, but in my experience most wolves don't consistently defend their mates. They distance themselves or suspect them just enough. That's why her defense of Mith is tricky. She could be an innocent defending someone she felt was not guilty, but just as easily she could have been fooling us all so if Mith died she wouldn't look bad.

She was looking to rid the village of the somewhat unhelpful EW. Again tricky because it can be annoying to have a player who innocent or guilty rarely contributes. Her constant suspicion of him and her vote fit together nicely. Could be innocent, but then again her vote placement was pretty convenient on Day 2 which could have been her grand design or maybe it was a coincidence.

Hard to say with Rikae. Some things look innocent enough, but there are a few things that feel wrong.
