[the phantom]

Interesting. The WW passed up a free win by killing Kath. Why?

Anyway.... I'm going to make a case for why you are a WW, SPM. And then I'll make a case for Mith. Keep in mind that these cases were hastily typed and poorly thought out. I don't have time for much else.

SPM=WW

Why am I still alive? Well, it would just be so much more fun for you to win with me around, wouldn't it? I can't blame you.

And killing Kath, well, since I had already promised to vote for her you felt that either I was bluffing and would surely vote for you or you felt that I was serious and did not want to win that way. No, no... you want me either to be lynched or choose incorrectly and add your vote to mine.

Proof that SPM is the final WW is as follows-

On Day 1 he came in with his WWs in competition claim. He seemed to care enough about the game to not only know the rules, but to make further inquiries. And yet, in his very next post he suggests everyone tie each other up at one vote per person and leave it to Fea to flip a coin. He did not know (or acted like he did not know) what the rules actually were in that situation (only the first two would be candidates).

Hmm... very odd. He is completely ignorant of the rules on one issue, and yet has knowledge beyond the rules on another issue. Can you say inconsistent?

But I hear you ask, "Why would Sauce put forth his WWs-in-competition theory if it would cause his fellow WW to gun for him?" Well, that's quite simple. He did it because he had no intention of looking like a WW. Rather clever, don't you think? Suggest that the WWs kill each other in order to look innocent and then if the other WW follows your advice you are safe since you appear innocent, and you are also safe from the village by virtue of the fact that you look innocent.

Nicely done, SPM. That was, without a doubt, a play of phantasmic proportions.

And one thing you said really amused me. On the day we lynched Ang, you said this to incriminate him-

But most of all, he has seemed continually to be testing the water to see whether there might be any prospect of lynching the phantom. Several times during the course of the game, he has indicated that he might consider voting for the phantom (at times jokingly, but this jocular approach might well merely be serving as cover). You see, I think that a Wolfish Anguirel wants to rid himself of his self-confessed nemesis, the phantom, and yet would not stoop so low as to kill him at Night. He wants to see this particular enemy laid low in a fair fight - by getting him lynched.

I think it's so very funny, because this actually applies to you. You've kept me alive this whole time not to kill me in the Night, but to beat me during the Day. You just took your reasons and applied them to Ang. How wickedly lovely.

And I adore the way you've treated me throughout the game. You've voted for me twice, and yet you continually make statements of trust in me. You offset your paranoia and present suspicious facts about me (which makes me guilty) versus your gut (which declares me innocent). It's beautiful, it really is. It reminds me strikingly of WW X and the way that I as a WW treated Kuru. Seriously, read that game. It's identical tactics.

Throughout this game your reactions to what people say and the way you vote has been very innocent in appearance. Fantastically innocent. I've never in my life seen a WW with such perfect innocent reactions. Suberb, I must say. Bravo! Three cheers for SPM, the great WW!

And now that I've proved SPM is a WW, I will prove that Mith is a WW.

First, it would be so like Mith to keep SPM and I around. She wants to take down the big dogs, no doubt about it. There's no way SPM would've left Mith and I alive together. There's too much of a risk that we'd unite against him.

Second, the kills have not been what I would do, and therefore not what SPM would do. We are both creatures of logic, nearly to a fault.

Then look at this gem from Day 1-

Me? Not really in either category - I was spectacularly lucky in my successful wolvish outing. Ayway I'm not a wolf this time so... I maybe the weakest link .. the innocent you could most afford to lose... but I hope it won't be goodbye just yet ... this is befuddling but far from dull and I would like to stay a while....

Mith is trying to look harmless and lost and non-threatening. *WW alarm sounds*

I also find post #94 interesting. Mith mentions two people... SPM and I. Has she been set on us as the final two for the entire game?

And her vote for Beth. It is quite obviously an attempt to obey the Dark Lady's orders. Those orders- be as random and chaotic as possible.

And comments like these also pinged my radar-

to kill someone that no one could possible ever discount as a wolf without a seer's confirmation is either brave, foolish or eccentric

and I really thought there was a good chance I would be the kill

And also your continual mention of "hmm... I wonder if both WWs are already dead". I don't like the way you say it. Cause obviously a WW would know that it's not true.

Anyway, there you have it. SPM is the WW- no wait, Mith is. Er, SPM actually... um no, Mith.

Anyway, there's no way I'm going to be able to discuss things tomorrow. I have maybe ten minutes tomorrow morning and ten minutes in the afternoon. That's it.

Yeah... the day not starting at the usual time pretty much killed all chances of participation for me.

So, I will probably be posting a ++ in 6 hours.

Then I will immediately do a -- and follow it with another ++. That way you won't be worried about me running in and changing my vote.

As far as who it will be for... perhaps I'll flip a coin.
