Phantom Analysis

First and foremost, his pessimism and statements about analysis being useless irk me (as all such statements usually do.) This however comes from a player who claims to rely almost wholly on analysis. He seems to think that because we can't really use a vote record, and kills are very limited in usefulness, that we have nothing to go on. This just isn't true. I think phantom is too intelligent to just throw in the towel like that, so it leads me to think that this is meant to discourage the village from strategizing or analyzing anything at all. It's a theme he plays upon multiple times, starting in his first post, where he discourages the discussion of all strategy, and continues on through his implication that Fea really controls everything, and so everything we do is useless.

Of course, after all that talk about analysis being impossible, he demands that SPM give good reasons for voting for him, dismissing all previously given reasons off hand as ridiculous. And one of those "poor" reasons given was pretty close to the one reason he gave for his suspicions- that is, Fea's likely choice. He never really gave a reason for having anyone on his lynch list, except once to mention that Fea would be the one to break Diamond's Rule.

In short, he doesn't care whether or not he is lynched, doesn't think he is useful to the village, and doesn't really feel any drive to do much other than entertain, and gives little to no reason for who he suspects, yet demands better reasons for lynching him. Lynch him.
