++THE PHANTOM

Die, fiend, die!

So the thought has never occurred to either of you that I'm the fourth Ordo (or LRC) attempting to look clearly like a baddie in order to increase the odds that the real Robber Bridegroom will get killed during the Night, or the Hunter. And also so I won't be selected to be turned by the Big Bad Wolf (just in case I'm Red-Cap).

Anyway, the ploy is sort of ruined now, but as I look to be on my way to lynching, I figured I'd better say something at this point. I thought looking like the RB would buy me a lynching pass, but apparently my bluff was so convincing that you're worried I may be a bluffing Wolf.

As far as Mira's code, I maybe figured it out, and so maybe know who the Hunter is. We'll see if I'm right. (when I gave it a try last Night, I actually thought it was you, Eomer )

You're a vexing Phantom, you are. I've been trying to figure you over the course of the game, with little success.
If looking suspicious has been your intent, you may have succeeded too well.
I need to go back and look at some things.

Heh heh...

All right, let's see if I can appeal to your logic since I am sort of difficult to gain a gut feeling on.

Look at when I "revealed" as a baddie. It was when both the Seer and Ranger were still alive, and two Wolves were outed. At that point in the proceedings, would it make sense for a third Wolf to reveal, considering two have been caught already and the Seer still has another dream to use before she dies?

The Robber Bridegroom might well try it, but it is very doubtful that it would be intelligent for a member of the evil foursome to come out at that time. It's downright suicidal. While everyone who has played with me will tell you that it is a trademark of mine to bluff and play mind games, they would also testify to the fact that Phantom always does his best to avoid silly risks and plays the odds. While my behaviors may seem silly at times, I am at my core logical and every move of mine is intended to have pros which outweight any cons.

So there it is. If I'm bad, I'm at worst the Robber Bridegroom, in which case I count for the villagers in the tally and lynching me isn't overly helpful. The point is to lynch the packmates here.

[Lariren Shadow]

Does it even matter if the Robber Bridegroom revels? I mean, if we get the last wolf then we will be able to win even if he is still alive. He did his job, there's nothing we can do to stop him other than lynch him and that's pointless as he counts as one of the villagers(I do have that right, right?).

I'm not sure about lynching the phantom. He makes a lot of sense at times and can be very helpful when he wants to be. I wouldn't want him dead, not especially this close to the end because he might be able to find something we can't.

I'm leaning to believe Eomer about his revel.

I have no idea really about anyone else other than I still don't like Nerwen.

That's what's so annoying about the situation. He goes from sounding evil and scheming to sounding logical and forthright in the blink of an eye. Like this:

That's a fair point, I must admit.
I want to think about McCaber some more, as well as Kath and Nerwen.
I'd also like to hear from the two who have yet to check in today.

[Nerwen]

Anyone around?

[Inziladun]

I am, though it's maddening trying to decide whether to believe phantom's latest. I ought to vote for him just on general principles, yet I have some misgivings.
Eomer is apparently convinced McCaber is a wolf. Not sure what I think about that either.
