How is the Phantom allocated?

[Stin]

I play with the same group of people each time and pretty much every time, the same guy is a Phantom.
Even if he declines the opportunity to increase his chances, he winds up being phantom.

So how is the Phantom allocated? Are we just in an incredible random string of the same person getting Phantom?

Yes.
