Oh! THAT'S what it means! All this time I thought it was supposed to be an insult, along the lines of "screw you", only the more hostile version.

I mean, people were always saying, "Xed Phantom", so I just assumed...

Everyone scraps the idea completely and ignores it. Some will argue tp deserves to be lynched for it, others will defend him with much gusto and flair. Some will choose to look at votes to cast suspicion, some will fling out the most outrageous claims based on gut feelings, some won't have our best interest at hearts, and some will continue to vote randomly do to lack of time.

Most definitely.

Should the sweetheart pretend to die, so that the KD would kill himself to? Nay, I think that WW games resemble A Midsummer Night's Dream more than that tragedy stuff.


To say something of content, I think I will save my opinion on who to lynch until more people have posted. I am willing to follow tp's plan for now and lynch the KD, and I wouldn't mind getting a wolf either. However, the main issue here is who to lynch, not which role.

*yawns* Bedtime for now. I hope to see other posters in the morning.

ARRGH! I only just got my computer back and– the game's started already!

I'll post more when I've had time to read.

[McCaber]

Well, should we each give a list of three people we randomly suspect?

In which case I'll go with Rikae, Glirdy, and Pitchwife.

[Nerwen]

So, a quick comment:

I think we need some word-of-mod before we adopt phantom's plan– since it would, in effect, end the game immediately, unless I've much misunderstood the way the roles work.

Hmmm... I suppose if enough people did it... And just to make certain the KD has appropriate cover, I'll try not to change my suspicions from today to tomorrow, as he won't be shifting his suspicions either. At least one other person should probably do the same to make certain the KD isn't officially "revealed" to everyone.

Only if we lynch him correctly. If we don't, it could very well make things harder, as the Forge will know who the traitor is immediately.

Yes, I'm aware of that. So if we go ahead, it means either an instant victory (but one that would feel to me, at least, not unlike cheating), or else the village shooting itself in its collective foot pretty badly. Not that keen on it, myself.

And even if I end up being in a minority on this, I think we should ask Foley first.
