[the phantom]

lmp- I really truly wish you had not made that last post.

So all the talk about one werewolf defeating the other is smoke and mirrors.

Yes. You're right. Completely right, as far as I am concerned. I can't speak for SPM, but I recognized his "the WWs are in competition" statement as a ploy yesterday and have been using it as a ploy myself.

BUT... BUT.... NOT as a WWish ploy, but rather as an anti-WW ploy.

You see, one reason I was so concerned with feeling SPM out was so I could decide whether he was a WW doing a ploy or a villager doing a ploy. It can work both ways you see. You've already explained how it can be a WW ploy, but did you not think of the flip side?

As an innocent, it is to your advantage to try to establish as a fact that the WWs would want to kill each other, correct?

Don't you see? I came out in support of the "WWs in competition" theory in an effort to get the WWs to gun for each other. I didn't actually believe it for a second. If I myself was a WW NO WAY would I gun for my brother/sister.

As I said, I cannot speak for sure about SPM's intentions, but if you look back at post #182, it makes my innocent intentions clear.

Indeed. I totally, completely, and fully agree that if an individual WW wishes to claim victory for himself/herself it is necessary to compete with each other as well as the village, for if it comes down to himself/herself and a villager victory is assured, but if the village is reduced to himself/herself and the other WW, he/she might not survive, and being the only survivor is without a doubt the supreme honor that everyone in this village is vying for.

PS SPM- am I doing well today? Just wink if you think you get what I'm saying.

As you can clearly see, I am latching onto what I thought was his ploy full force and at the end I basically ask him if I had caught on and was doing it right.

But now that you've spoken up, the ploy is, without a doubt, worthless.

Oh, well.
