Ang, Diamond, phantom and Firefoot thought me innocent, all for little or no reasons (I'm quite curious about what tp might bring up today)
I'll answer that later. Er... actually, I suppose I have time right now.

My response to you dates back to a Werewolf plagued village long ago in which my ancestors lived (WW III). A fellow by the name of Fordim put forth a Seer protection plan, and the responses it got were interesting. My ancestor was an Innocent in that village, and tried as hard as he could to determine if the plan would truly help the Seer (because as an Innocent he obviously cared about the Seer's well-being).

For a time he went along with it just to test reactions, but then came out strongly against it and pointed out the odds of someone making an incorrect dream declaration, thus narrowing the Seer list for the wolves.

You, Mac, did the same exact thing yesterday. You went out of your way to point out the danger of the plan, even going so far as to do a probability calculation. In other words, you were behaving like me when I was innocent and a similar plan was introduced.

That's why I quickly moved you into the innocent column.

And you, my dear phantom, have been moved into mine. I dreamt of you last night, and as I seem to have your permission, I reveal this now.
No Mac, phantom cannot be a cobbler, the rules for this game state that if I dream of the cob, I am informed of the fact. But whether phantom is anything more, I leave for the penguins to find out, if they dare.
I thought long and hard about who to dream of, as this would be my last. In that horridly churlish and ungrateful spirit that WW breeds in one, I pondered on both my allies of yesterday, Ang and Roa. If either were a WP who suspected my pursuit of Boro as Seerish behaviour, it would make them look very good to either defend me, as Ang did, or help me pursue my quarry, as Roa did.
Of course, both have perfectly good alternative reasons for their actions. I have had reason to be grateful for Ang's chivalrous nature in past villages, so his defence of me was not unexpected. Roa could easily have picked up on dodgy stuff in Boro's posts off her own bat, as Phantom has just explained he did.
So in the end I chose Phantom for the following reasons:
1. Because I worried about his "whoops I didn't read all the thread" vote for Boro, it made him look rather good, and therefore, in my eyes, suspicious.
2. If he turned out to be innocent, and thus the known innocent on Day Three, he would probably encourage the village to do something sensible.
