It's an individual decision each time, first question "do I trust Rikae?" and second question "do I trust phantom?". And I happened to answer "no" to both.
Sorry, but it is either/or.

One of us is lying.

Does it make sense that it would be me, who had no logical reason to reveal at this stage in the game if a Baddie?

Not good. I think one way or another, there will be a challenge tomorrow. And I'd rather have our GW leave us with a full team. Wouldn't you?
Thank you!

If you lynch me, you're essentially doing the EWs dirty work for him. Way to go.

tp apparently realized I knew another wolf's identity. Well, he was right, but it wasn't him.

Really, this worked out beautifully.

Really, people, and given Rikae's stance towards tp, it does not seem likely that the two of them are together in any union. That Rikae is evil is clear (at least to me 100%, which I am very grateful of). So I say we listen to the phantom and vote for Cailín. For those who are indecisive, just say to yourselves: "Let's give it a shot, we will know for certain after that happens," and then jump into the water. I believe this being the best way now.

Maybe just one. Or maybe both.

He won't take another wolf down because surely the EW will scry him first making him an ordo. Don't get me wrong...I did hesitate for a moment because if tp is honest it be nice to simply let the wolves waste their time taking care of him. But again, that's assuming he's honest. And I'm beginning to doubt that more and more.

Should we not be focusing on someone else? Do you know how many people are flying under the radar right now? I'm talking Mormegil here. That guy is dodgy.

Seriously, phantom, your case against me is about as good as my case against Mormegil. Just because you keep saying logic is on your side, it does not make it so.

Ok Cailin, that does it. That attempt at a diversion has just made up my mind for me - you have *got* to be a wolf. Why in the name of Arda should we start confusing ourselves even further by focusing on other people, we need to sort out this problem toDay, and then sift through the evidence tomorrow.

++CAILIN

It's my belief that the aim of toDay was to create confusion, which is a EW not a GW thing to do. Cailin's just done that - tried to create more confusion. The GW wants to unify the village. Rikae wouldn't have revealed and then run away if she were a good wizard with the village's best interests at heart.

If Cailin is guilty, then Rikae is bad. So, I think, are Lommy and Roa. Who is the baddest of them all, I don't know, but we can sort all that out tomorrow.
If phantom turns out to be the baddie, after all, then GW Rikae or whoever else she is shielding, can sort that out toNight.

Okay, phantom. I may have to admit that I trust you more than I trust Rikae. (Because it would indeed quite weird of you to do what you're doing if you were a baddie, you've demonstrated that point quite convincingly.)

But that's not much and I do not trust you. I cannot see all ends. You could still be a weirdo bluffing baddie and as it's you of all the people here, I'm double-cautious.

See, as I can't completely choose between the two of you, and because I'm keeping in mind the (however crazy) possibility that you could both be lying, I'd rather lynch Rikae just to be on the safe side, even if there's a minimal risk that she's the EW and not a wolf and thus we can't lynch a wolf if we lynch her.

Can you understand my point of view?
