[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

If he is neither gifted nor werewolf, the phantom suggests that he should be immune from volunteering for the plan - because he acts as a suspect. The werewolves will always wonder whether he is gifted, probably go for him, and lo and behold! it was a ploy and they have murdered the innocent and ungifted phantom.

What's the point in this, when no-one was voting until late on DAY 1? I think the phantom made the second or third vote (could be wrong, it was something like that). The only previous vote was Lalaith's apparent shot in the dark towards Kath.

You might as well have offered yourself up, ol' boy. It wasn't as if the rest of us had more pressing choices.

And before anyone points it out again; yes, there is a good chance that the phantom is a gifted villager. There is also a good chance that he is a werewolf, certainly more so than practically every other villager.

I'll point this out again too: the phantom, if innocent, will not last long. Yes phantom, this is a very convenient thing for Werewolf-Eomer to say. It's also convenient for every innocent villager to notice this. I realise that you have a reputation for being clever. You may well be the cleverest one among us. However, the rest of the village should not diminish and should not be encouraged to. Villagers should never be immune because of their intelligence.
