Tol-in-Gaurhoth III (The Saga Continues...)

[the phantom]

Read this post, and read it carefully, and tell me if you honestly suspect me.

you have so closely avoided a hanging not once but twice

As I told Fordim, the fact that I've nearly been lynched before means absolutely nothing, since votes can only come from two sources- villagers who know nothing and werewolves who want to kill innocents.

it makes me suspect you may be getting desperate to be further from the noose this time round...

WHAT?!

You "suspect" that I don't want to get hung???

Duh!

OF COURSE I'm trying to get OUT of the NOOSE!!!

NOBODY wants to be in the noose!!!

It's one of the primary POINTS of the GAME!!!

How could you possibly point this out as being something that makes me look suspicious?!

Your SPM/TORE theory still seems too much like an attempt to divert attention from yourself

still seems like it could be an attempt to draw attention away from himself

Since when does an INNOCENT VILLAGER not want to turn attention away from himself and towards possible WEREWOLVES???

I would vote for Saucepan Man...but I would as willingly vote for you Phantom..

For today, I would like you to vote for someone who at least might be a werewolf.

Then, if you still feel like lynching a complete innocent, you can vote for me tomorrow.

but it seems to me that Phantom is slightly higher today in the town's rough "consensus" than is Saucepan Man

Yes, even after I've blown holes through the reasons why they suspect me.

Perhaps a large portion of the vocal townspeople are wolves? Ever think of that?

Now I'm going to hold a conversation between myself and my accusers to point out how flimsy the reasoning is behind my guilt....

"Phantom, you're trying to get our attention off of you."

Um, yeah. So what? That doesn't mean anything. Isn't an innocent supposed to avoid getting lynched and try to lynch wolves?

"Phantom, people have voted for you the past two rounds."

Um, yeah. So what? Any innocent casting a vote has no definite knowledge, and if it was wolves trying to lynch me then that would support my innocence.

"Phantom, two people who are dead voted for you.

Um, yeah. So what? Did they know anything? No. Did I lead the charge to lynch them? No. Were either of them killed in the night? No.

I mean- COME ON, PEOPLE!!!

Does anyone actually have a REASON to suspect me???

A REAL reason???
