Now she's claiming to be a sucidal Ordo. I find that odd almost like confessing then saying Haha joking you guys! Also to say not the hunter, well... my reason for voting sort of goes in the chute.

I think Rikae is a wizard and just got so annoyed and stressed(Truly truly sorry for your loss) she in essence ragequit the game, but now having calmed down has tried to defend the post as dark humor.
Annoyed and stressed I am. Ragequit I did. The fact that people fail to see my sarcasm and fail to see how utterly ridiculous this certainty about Volo is has really killed my desire to be helpful all the more.

Well, I'm off. Guess I won't be posting again, so once you have my role, please take a good look at these people who are so certain Volo was thought a seer, who behaved as though it was unquestionable etc. once it is clear that that isn't what they did at all.

Since I'm the only one in position to know that at this point, I can say what it was instead - almost certainly a framing attempt, and Copper's attempt to look like she's pushing the seer theory independently looks very bad to me. I think perhaps the wizards suspected him as the cobbler, even, and took the package he gift-wrapped for them. Of course wolves like to frame innocents and control the next day's lynch. Of course they do. Any experienced player knows that, and Nerwen is experienced. Of course they also go for seers when they think they spot one, but to behave as though this is the only way they choose kills is absurd.

Thanks, Greenie & Morsul for the condolences.

See you in the postgame discussion, everyone. Get smarter, please.

Sure would be- if I or anyone else had done this. This did not happen, Rikae.. For instance I initially said the evidence against you was "thin" and that it might all be a distraction/false trail. It's right there in my post analysing Volo.

I'll be waiting. I would just think you would know me well enough by now to know it's disingenuous to cast vague suspicions and leave a veiled hint you have good reasons but don't want to say them yet. That is you are clearly trying to project you know something about me, but have now twice said you don't want to right now.

What certainty about Volo? You mean the way that several people think the obvious or most likely possibility is that he was killed as a potential Seer candidate threatening a wizard? I can understand that you'd be really worried about being voted for, but...

If you're innocent, you need to bear in mind that even if we were to take that view as set in stone (which I don't think is true), there's no guarantee that you were the wizard they thought Volo had caught. He suspected others too, and thought that various other people were innocent.

So, if you're innocent, it's best to calm down and try to think of other avenues aside from ragequitting.
