Ah, but the final part of the sentence is refereable only to a proportion of those being addressed, ie those who would die at the hands of their companions. This creates a subset of the audience, who were therefore referred to in the third person to distinguish them from the full group. Perfectly understandable, whether strictly grammatically correct or not, in my view.

But surely the words "phantom" and "trickery" are synonymous in a Werewolf context ...?

You're welcome. It was fun writing it.

Er, surely you know me better than to think me capable of creating a program, let alone an algorithm. My computer programming days ended when BASIC went out of common use ...
I used the randomiser recommended by Volo in the aftermath of his game:
