To my last suspect, Rikae. I'd like to follow up how I felt yesterday. As I said I felt uncomfortable with her Mac accusation. I could tell it was a joke, but the way she shamelessly put out herself as an innocent. So I'd like to look long and hard at Rikae to see if my uneasiness about her lessens or grows.

First post is the one that made my uncomfortable to begin with. No need to restate myself. Next post is a response to some things Mac had said.
Defends Mac with:
Quote:
Hmm...
just wanted to add, "jumpiness" is a very easy accusation to use against Mac, since he tends to respond that way regardless of his role. Not saying he's not suspicious, but since we almost certainly have baddies going after each other in this game...
Not highly suspicious given he original accusations were mostly made in jest.

Next she comments on Sally's questions. Says they are employed despite guilt or innocence, sort of in the same way Mac's jumpiness is used I guess. Doesn't really accuse sally.
Quote:
Second - Sally's rhetorical questions aren't very helpful (I mean, seriously, who's going to suspect Legate for having a "nice little list"?), but seem to be something she uses fairly often, baddie or innocent.
Bolds something she found interesting with one of Agan's posts. Doesn't accuse here either.

Quote:
Methinks Aganzir, Macalaure, and Lommy are all baddies of some sort.
Doesn't elaborate, but given the rest of her post she didn't to leave at that time.

Returns and comments that Eomer's vote was to stir the pot, but mine was nasty because it followed his immediately. Also comments about Agan's threat to vote for her as well. She doesn't mention Eonwe, though. He said he was going to vote for her for sure before Agan even mentioned possibly voting for Rikae. She also still finds Mac suspicious, but admits to not wanting to for him that day.

She votes for Agan. Don't see anything too suspicious with that vote.

First post of today doesn't strike me as much. Responds to Groin and alerts us to her presence.

Her most recent post brings up the idea perhaps Eomer thought her gifted. But also finds Eomer's behavior strange.
Quote:
Eomer's behavior is very strange, in that it looks like the old wolf-trap technique of casting a random vote and then turning on the person who follows it, except that the person in question, cross-voted.
Has mild suspicions towards Brinn, I expect something will follow later.

Rikae's first post still has me wondering.
Quote:
Di wouldn't make both Mac and I ordos. Ergo, he has a role, and, judging by point #1, that role is an evil one.
I realize this point doesn't do anyone any good until I'm dead, but that shouldn't take long when Mac is evil.
However, nothing else she has said really worries me about her and one little jest post (no matter how sinister I feel it may be) is not enough for me to condemn someone as a baddy. For right now I feel better about Rikae, she seems sound and responsible.

Edit: I see Rikae went a looked back on Brinn and found whatever she was worried about was wrong. Also refers to Groin as too lazy to be a bad guy.

Perhaps Eonwe thought I was gifted; Eomer is strange.

Well, Brinniel, it looks like you are right. Something else entirely...

I wouldn't guess cobbler, though.

Ummmm....I have a theory, but if I was right and I told everyone Fea would probably kill me. Blast, it makes so much sense though. *hates being cryptic, but there's really no way around this one*

CAN she kill you? That didn't sound like it was part of the deal.

Fea is clearly The Prostitute, i.e. the ENTIRE VILLAGE'S lover! If she dies, we all die.

(I am joking.)

Sorry, should clarify. I meant that figuratively, as in she would be really hacked off, not as in I would die in the game. Whoops.

EDIT: x'd with Fea and an EXTREMELY amusing Gwath. I seriously lol'd. Literally. And loudly, while we're at it.

Well, a cobbler type is only a guess. But this a special game, so I imagine Di has come up with some unique roles.

Maybe like the role I outlined for you? Or is that not unique-enough for you?

Just so we're clear....



No one in this game has ego problems at all, right? *checks* Okay, just checking.

Going with my gut and voting now, just in case I randomly fall asleep or something.

While I'm glad to see he's made an effort to post more, he still remains at the bottom end of the post count. And what bothers me about that is how he continues to suspect and go after his fellow quiet players. Even more suspicious is that what McCaber has said pretty much goes with the flow with what everyone else has said. He plays too safely.

I'm also suspicious of Sally who's been playing fairly safe thus far, and I'm still unsure about Gollum.
