Now I understand... tp, our sheer brilliance (and of course good looks) have them intimidated. They are terrified to attempt to match our wits.

Remember, you're just supposed to think that, not actually say it. Well, actually, I suppose you can say the good looks part if you want. No one seems to get too offended by that. Just leave off the bit about brilliance and wit. That seems to rile up all those competetive big-ego sorts. But you are correct, of course. It would be nearly impossible to defeat a Fea-Phantom wolf team, whether we were coworkers, friends, lovers, or bitter enemies.

That would be still more confusing.
In other words- perfect.

Indeed. Which explains my saying it in the first place. It's just so much fun to watch those competetive big-ego sorts get riled up. Of course it's not so much fun when they suggest a ban against us...

The mere thought makes me giggle in anticipation of future fun. You know they'll never trust us. But wouldn't it be all kinds of fun if we were to use that against them?

If only I could play in the next game... That would be a blast and a half if we ended up true partners in crime.

I should have made more of a nuisance of myself. As the hunter, I was taking phantom with me next if I was was targeted.
So you actually did suspect Phantom?

I think the slice of luck he was afforded came about when the mob decided not to adopt my strategy -- or, for that matter, any strategy -- and to instead hang me on the "evidence" that I had developed a strategy...

Fordim: "I have a way of hunting down werewolves."

Werewolf: "He has a strategy for hunting down werewolves. He must be a werewolf."

Villagers: "Hang him! Hang him!"

Odd logic indeed!

Forgive us! Forgive us! Hopefully, if you play the next game, you will get your revenge. Also, is your signature curses and insults to us that voted for you in another language?
