Surely not!

True, but it was still through little effort on my part. I really do believe that, unless Gifted and while a numerical advantage remains, an innocent should not be too concerned about being lynched - “in the cause”, as it were. Since there were no Gifteds in this game, I saw little reason to fight to survive until near to the end, and so did not bother spending much time defending myself. Perhaps I just naturally come across as the innocent-type.

You, on the other hand, my dear phantom, naturally come across as the guilty type. Not through anything in particular that you do or say. It’s just that anyone who has seen you play as a Wolf knows precisely what you are capable of and just how dangerous you can be, particularly when you give the impression that butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth. I really wanted to trust you in this game, but spent much of it fighting a natural instinct to suspect you.

Then again, I have been lynched three times to your two.

Actually, I did notice at the time that your votes were not correctly stated, but took the view that they would be considered valid. It would have been interesting to have seen what would have happened had anything turned on it. Rest assured that I would have argued long and hard against your attempt to recast your vote, had it been necessary. And I would probably have won.

Yes, I was aware of that. I should really thank the phantom for helping me to achieve the dubious honour of last villager standing. Had it not been for that fait accompli, and assuming that chance would have favoured him as it did me, he would probably have achieved that “honour” himself.

I was inclined to take it at face value until the final Day, when I could no longer ignore the distinct possibility that you might be a Wolf after all.
