WHAT?!

You "suspect" that I don't want to get hung???
Actually I suspected that you were getting desperate... and I'm gathering that I should be speaking in bullet points, it would cause less confusion...

>Phantom I understand your points.
>However, I still don't believe you enough to say "Oh, well given that The Phantom must be innocent."
>Your point about the votes against you:
"Um, yeah. So what? Any innocent casting a vote has no definite knowledge, and if it was wolves trying to lynch me then that would support my innocence."

what about looking at it like this (and for this I'm assuming that you're telling the truth...since this is for your benefit and you're clearly not going to say anything different)

--you tell us that you're innocent and that therefore the majority of votes against you have been cast by werewolves.
--we lynch you.
--your statement is proved true and you're innocent
--all our sights would be turned on those who voted for you, esp. if they voted for you twice
--The werewolves then wouldn't be able to kill anyone who voted for you because those people would either be werewolves themselves or the werewolves only defense against the gallows
--The next day the werewolves would be really nervous because they would have to divert attention away from their member(s) who voted for you and turn the general opinion against an innocent

>doesn't it follow that one at least of them would slip up somewhere, and that we would finally be able to get a werewolf


>I'm not saying "Oh let's Kill Phantom because of this one possibility"...
>However if you are so sure of your innocence your death could potentially lead us to a werewolf...(so your being lynched would have been a greater help to our villager than your protesting vehemently)
>And if you're a werewolf then we've evened the odds...(and you, knowing this, would try to avoid being lynched)

>well?
