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*

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?
