was bored without much to do
I think this was the tone of yesterday, in general, which wasn't terribly helpful, in retrospect. Most people just trooped in, voted for Celueien and trooped out again. I can't really claim much else for myself, either...I was very busy.
I wish more of us had made a list like Lommy's that she made before deadline - very helpful, not just in itself (her thinking made good sense) but also in giving pointers to her own status. It felt very innocent - although I would be inclined to believe Lommy innocent anyway, as she was under so much suspicion that Rikae would have made a massive gamble to scry her.
I haven't had time to read through the posts of yesterday closely, but here's my list based on the same type of premise as Lommy:
Likely (not suspected)
Sally
Gwath
Shasta
Green
Legate
Kath

Likely (leaving the game in the hands of a master - but high risk because of their high profile)
Roa, Mormegil

Unlikely:
Eonwe (newbie status)

Very unlikely (so suspected):
Lommy
I'd put myself as fairly unlikely too, because I'm bound to be under scrutiny as a degifted.

Another thought - I've played so infrequently in the last year or so that I'm a bit out of it, perhaps some Grimoire expert can help - is there anyone here that Rikae's never played with before? If so, they'd be an unlikely wolf pick - If I were the evil wizard, I don't think I'd like to leave the game in the hands of someone who I didn't have personal gaming experience of, so if there's anyone who could help on that....

In Rikae's shoes (there I go, thinking like a EW again, Lommy ) I would have gone for Kath, Legate, Morm or Roa.

The other thing to think about: I think Rikae might have avoided anyone she thought might be a Ranger, as her priority was to make a wolf, rather than de-gift.

I agree and disagree on this and struggle with the thought. By wolfanizing you, it's easy to say that you wouldn't be wolfanized because you had been de-gifted and therefore wouldn't have been converted. However, I think it a good rouse. It never sits well with me when people use themselves in their own lists and give preemptive defense. It seems odd to me. And it increases my suspicion although not to the point of conviction.
