Really not an easy game to keep track of, this.

These are a few of my favourite enigmas...

1. Phantom's Sam scheme.

The ostensible reason was so we could be sure ifLhuna had been Sam's cure-target. All right. What strikes me about this scheme is that it was more-or-less guaranteed to occupy the village's attention without posing much threat to the Spider(s)– as I said yesterDay, it could not even give us a known innocent. It is possible phantom believed he knew Sam's identity already, and was try to give him a cover under which he could communicate. It is also possible phantlob or phantling sought to draw Sam out.

2. The Bomwaggon
This was not nearly as unreasoned as the Glirdywaggon– however, to echo Lhuna, it's kind of interesting that both Nog and tp show up in both.

3. Fea's vote on phantom
Reasoning: "Love you tons, sweetums." Had previously declared Boro "probably evil" and announced her intention of voting for him.

4. Fea in general
Yes, there's been a lot of banter in this game. She's so far posted only banter. Nobody seems to care, either.

5. Wilwa's insistance on voting Lhuna
And I mean insistance. She gave no real reason, but she wouldn't be dissuaded, either.

On the other hand, we also have–
6. Nog's insistance that Lhuna was a "known innocent"
True, she's probably not a Spiderling (not certain, though). That's not the same thing.

My vote on phantom
An excellently reasoned and altogether impeccable vote. Clearly innocent.
