Greeting, my fellow-miners.
In principle, I'm inclined to suspect the "quiet ones". After all, if I were a werebalrog I'd be lying low at this point, waiting for somebody to accuse an innocent miner so I could jump on the bandwagon.
But we must remember that these mines are full of strange pockets of temporal anomaly. I, for example, have been trapped in one for several hours and have only recently been able to find my way out. So I don't think silence is incriminating– yet.
As everyone else has said, we don't have much to go on. And yet... and yet... I'd like to share my thoughts on
Rikae's behaviour.
At first glance, her vote against herself appears to be either a joke or an act of self-sacrifice. But a single vote against her doesn't really endanger her very much. Let's look at its immediate effect– to
divert suspicion from herself.
Witness other people's reactions:

Going suicidal is not going to help us find the werebalrogs...

Of course, an innocent villager could also benefit from such a clever double bluff. I'm not accusing
Rikae, just pointing out that we shouldn't be assuming she's
not guilty.
