I'm just wondering what sort of powers phantom's apprentice could have. And are they on our side or their own side? Perhaps we should keep an eye out for anyone who starts to impersonate the phantom toDay.

*Nerwen brings her ENORMOUS BRAIN to bear*

Theory1. the phantom's apprentice is a good version of the Cursed Villager, one who becomes gifted when attacked. Power... well, we've already had a double-voter... maybe an Assassin? Or maybe someone who can change the wolves' target at Night, or protect innocents from lynching.

Theory2. As above, but tpa becomes a werebear when attacked.

Theory3. the phantom's apprentice's role is to drive everyone crazy.

the phantom is someone who is not part of the village, and yet is in it.

the phantom's apprentice, therefore, would be someone 'dead' to the village, but still talking.

Ohhhhh! Now that's a fantastic theory, Nilp! Except– Sally said everyone was still alive.

Maybe it's someone who can't vote but can't be killed either, like the phantom's "Opera Ghost" role a few games back?

I just love puzzles, don't you, Nilp?

YAY FOR CONFUSION!!!!!

*jumps up and down in excitement*

EDIT: fixed quotes.

I meant that the phantom's apprentice is 'alive' in the sense of being able to talk to us, but 'dead' in the sense of no longer contributing to the village.

Do you mean he or she no longer counts in the tally?

Perhaps. Who would really know? (Except the demented deity of this discussion.)

But that would be a blow for the village, and the narration implied our feathered friends had a bad Night.

I don't think Sally would be that mean, do you?
