Well, there can be dozens of reasons for that. Two that occur to me instantly are that 1) she's a wolf (kind of the obvious answer, if you set a question like that) and 2) the kills fit the profile of Nogrod, Rikae and myself and: I don't know very much about Rikae's relationship with Mith, but I and Nog are both very fond of Mith (now this sounds like I was talking about a baby or a cute koala bear, I'm so sorry, Mith ) and would not like to kill her early, especially as she plays quite seldom these days. Furthermore, I'd like to add that Nogrod has once mentioned somewhere (in RL or ww, I'm not sure) that he thinks that Mith is a good player, especially in the later Days, so I could see him leaving her alive just for that.

Taking into account how she phrased certain things and what kind of feelings have "shone through" her posts, I doubt she's a wolf just because she was wrong about Mac, who was playing weirdly wolvishly for an innocent...

I would say that is a very wolfy thing to say had I not considered that possiblity myself. I could see a player with as cunning and twisted mind as Nerwen's (sorry, obviously this is a compliment here and I will never forget the balrog wing thing or the Australian translation of LotR...) or with Volo's wit combined with his odd logic (again, this is meant as a compliment) doing something like that. Menel and Mith seem too "honest" to make up a plan like that (even though they could agree with it, I think) and Dury has had so long a ww pause that I doubt she'd be this aware of our exact playing styles. But this kind of logic takes us nowhere, I think. I think we either need to leave the whole thing be or accuse Noggie.

edit: xed with Rikae and 2x Volo
