Excellent analysis, I think you've figured it out. This scenario fits everything. So going off on that, I tried to think about who benefits the most from killing rizky.
Rizky has stayed pretty neutral throughout the game, so he wouldn't be a direct threat to scum. I think they chose him so that we wouldn't know who to suspect at this early stage. A risky play but one that could work out for them in the long run.
If you go through all of rizky's posts there is one person he never talked about, or talked to, or referenced. It is also one of the few people who were inactive, but seems to have escaped pretty much everyone's radar. Any attempts to cast the light on this character had quickly died down or backfired. It's like he's sailing around undetected while laughing at the rest of us. I have no doubt in my mind that real life has kept him busy, but it is serving as a wonderful excuse. No more. I am of course talking about LSU Tiger.
There is no real evidence to support this, which is why he's also the most dangerous scum candidate.I had nothing to go on when I voted him in day 1, but now I just have to trust my gut on this one, I can't shake it off.
UNVOTE Vote LSU
The fact that I confirmed him to be a Tracker, seem kind of relevant.

See what happens when you make short and simple statemnts? I believe you.
In fact, I believe you so much that I'm going to....
unvote vote Strike WolfIt all comes back to what I'm always saying: The sum want to survive and the townies want to hunt scum.
Now don't get me wrong, Strike has been very active - in a completely non-commital way. He evenly distributed his opinions among all the player without going after anybody in particular. Sure, his summation helped me figure out that Tim' was scum, but Strike didn't join the bandwagon until the lynch was a foregone conclusion.
So here is female-dog thing about being the Cult Leader: not only do you need to worry about avoiding the supicion of the Townies, you must also be careful not to make yourself too valuable or else Mafia might decide that you are a worthy target. Bad players try to do it by submarrining. Avarage players try to talk about nothing. And Strike - he talks about everything! He makes the case why people might be scum, but takes great pains to leave room for being convinced othervise during the Day, so that they wouldn't be tempted to convince him Soprano style by Night.
I guess the only possible problem that you can run into with this style of play is that, sooner or later, you are going to run out of non-commital statements. So what are you going to do there:

You go and invent the worse role in the universe. I can imagine what role PM looked like:
"Dear Wing,
I have heard nasty rumors about you and my wife, but I don't believe any of it and am in no way mad at you.
BTW, here is your role: You are Town Vigilante.
Go on, take it, it's safe.
Unless you hit the PGO
(or get blamed for the first kill by a Watcher or a Tracker or Forensic Investigator.

)
(or anyone else takes a shot at PGO in which I will kill you instead

)
Have fun and be active! Especially during Day 1!

(never mind, you'll get it later

)
P.S. (BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

)
Seriously dude, Fircoal's broken games had more winnable roles then this. ANd you know it. And, what exactly would you theory, even if it was 100% true, contribute to Day 2 scum hunt? Nothing, because it's not designed to contribute, it's designed to make you look active.
