And also, how about a theory:
It could be that
Rikae and
Shasta are wolves. Being obvious usually makes players seem less suspicious, so maybe this little "kerfuffle" was just to make them seem "too obvious" to be wolves together. It also serves to distance themselves for each other. It would be a risky plan, but both
Rikae and
Shasta are experienced players, and from the times I've played with them I've seen them get into similar situations (especially with [B]Shasta[/B- which is sad, as he often gets killed early), so it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary.
edit: And I didn't x-post, which shows how lonely this thread is at this time.
