OK, I'm not going to be able to be around later, so I must vote now. And I still feel pretty clueless.
However, a few things have coalesced in my mind re-reading the chaotic events at the end of yesterDay.

That struck a chord with me, and I do feel that Nogrod's participation was genuine and earnest. While Diamond's presence, having spent her votes, is somewhat disconcerting as I look back, the phantom's detachment is even more so. Personally, I was rather flummoxed by the whole affair (and having consumed the best part of a bottle of wine didn't help), yet the phantom remained calm and calculating and chose not to reveal much in the way his thoughts were going until it was all but too late. He was, of course, in no danger himself.
Also, as Nogrod noted, he was actively trying to kill Roa. And who should die that Night? Why, Roa, of course. Which points towards the phantom. But who would think the phantom crazy enough to kill the person he was activley trying to get lynched the Day before?

That struck a chord too. The two most recent kill choices were strange ones. Perhaps this Wolf is one who is trying to give himself more of a challenge by killing off the more suspected villagers and leaving the less suspected ones. The phantom himself stated early on that, given the random nature of this game, he would feel little pride in winning it as a Wolf. Perhaps, therefore, having been selected as a Wolf, he is trying to make it more of a challenge for himself.
That and my paranoia finally won out ...
