Okay, so looking through
skip's posts, I am not really sure how much he could have been perceived as Ranger. There is however one thing not from yesterDay, but from the Day before, which maybe in connection to the thing mentioned by
Nerwen could make him look Ranger-y:

And then the next Day:

Which is sort of in contradiction, would-be showing that
Skip applies different rules on himself than on others ("better him than me" vs. the latter). It's sort of questionable as there were still many people left to vote back then when
skip voted, but then again, if he was leaving and not expecting to vote after that... but there is also the other thing
Nerwen mentioned, and now actually seeing it it looks a bit more "there is something more important than being innocent"-knowing.

However, if you are a wolf, the consequences of getting lynched then would have been the greatest imaginable: the game would be instantly lost. There would be no comfort-zone to take chances.

And, of course, speaking of that, his sort of general opposition for
Agan's wasting-retractions theory is even a lot more reasonable now: he obviously had personal interest in keeping his retraction, as saving himself might have been crucial if necessary. On the other hand, yesterDay he used his retraction in circumstances where he wasn't threatened (he retracted from
Nerwen to
Agan), so one would think that would've spoken sort of against him being the Ranger. But who knows.
Anyway, it does not seem to me that there would be anything in his posts pointing towards the knowledge whether he made a save yesterNight or not. Well, I guess no can do.
So... I'll be off now for a moment, but will try to stay updated and then be back to contribute something more.
EDIT: x-ed with Nerwen
