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

[the phantom]

The phantom is getting defensive again.

NO I'M NOT!!!!

Umm...I mean...

As you can see, I didn't act any different in the game than I usually do. Don't I have a reputation here on the Downs for being generally rigid and uncompromising?

I certainly hope I do. I try awfully hard at it.

and my vote was primarily based on self-preservation

Of course it was. It was your duty to vote for me since you knew you were innocent where as you did not know I was. No harm done.

I feel that one eventually has to accept either that people have taken one's points on board and dismissed them (rightly or wrongly) or that they are never going to take them on board

Let me be the first to tell you that I am not very good at accepting things.

And it seems rather redundant to continue making the arguments now that the game is over.

Much of what I am saying is in response to other people's posts- such as this post which is responding to your post.

And the primary focus of this discussion is not my lynching and the evidence that led to it, but the way I defended myself. If it was the former, then it would agree that this is overkill, but debating methods of defense is something that could have a legitimate effect upon later games and help in the understanding of villager behavior in the future, so I don't apologize for discussing it in detail.

it would have looked too suspicious if Phantom did actually push for the tied lynchings of the quiet group

Yes, that's exactly why I didn't try it.

Great. I'm even a suspect when we're not playing. I just can't catch a break.
