Wow. And here I thought Valier was just totally crackers.
Phantom, you cheeky SOB.
Hmmm... apparently cool and seemingly apathetic is the way to play it. I learn new things every game -- this game I was "recruited" for and felt pretty calm about the whole thing. I've learned that self-defense is pointless and often digs you in deeper, so I was pleased to note that just playing it cool and letting my votes speak for my innocence worked out well for me.
Great playing, everyone!
