So, I know we are all getting rather jumpy regardless of our allegiances but it would be interesting to know who you would consider putting your vote on at this point. Cards on the table now, and remember, no time to play around any longer...
Eomer? He's in vogue no doubt... Pitchwife perhaps? He has had a smooth ride so far, despite some potentially suspect and shadowy activities... Lottie? Or me? On the account of this alleged cobblery? No shadow has fallen on Aganzir either for some reason. Always worrisome though... Nerwen? Sally?

Well Skip, since you ask, I am of course not feeling good about anybody right now. I'm feeling worse about Sally and Loslote than anyone else; I am usually worried about Nerwen and always suspicious of Aganzir; and I'm afraid that the only reason I'm not worrying overly much about you and Pitch is that I don't know you as well as the previous two.
I think we'd all do well, though, to take a few minutes, breathe deeply, and consider every single one of the villagers rationally. There's a danger of getting tunnel-vision at this stage. It's good advice for myself, certainly.

So it's 2-5 or 3-4, whichever way you prefer to put it... As several others have been saying, if we don't get either a wolf or the cobbler today, we lose.

Pitch has a good point about skip voting for the same person as Greenie. Sorry if I've missed something but why does Greenie's innocence make Eomer a wolf? I really don't like it how some people are pushing it... What happens if Eomer is innocent? We lose. Quote:
Also, if somebody fake-reveals as the seer, I think the real seer should hold revealing till tomorrow... For one of the wolves, a fake reveal equals admitting to being a wolf, and I don't think they can afford that now, so if there's a fake-reveal, it's almost certainly the cobbler. Which means the wolves kill her tonight, and we get an extra day. I can most likely be around till DL too. Grr I have no idea what we should do today... Personally I might consider lynching skip (getting the cobbler is better than nothing, and I'm rather positive that's him) and waiting an extra day before the seer reveals (if we get the cobbler - or a wolf - today, we're in the same situation tomorrow, except the seer has got one more dream), but then, I'm not a risk taker.

Agan, I'm glad to see I'm not alone in thinking Sally's 'Green or Eomer' post was suspicious.
I would find it helpful if people could spell out why they think Skip is the cobbler; I've seen that alluded to a few times and I don't really grasp it. He's a bit, let's dig into the book of cliches, beneath my radar. Go on, convince me.

Not voting:
Nerwen, Pitch and Lottie. I might change my mind after reading through their posts (because that's what I have to do some time today), but they've looked innocent enough thus far. Eomer, at least not before I know why everyone suddenly wants to get him lynched. Yes I voted for him a couple of days ago, but that was only because I figured he'd be my best bet at saving wilwa (whom I thought innocent). I will probably have to read through his posts as well. Might vote: skip, probably my first choice. sally, she looks somewhat suspicious but I'm not sure if that's because she's actually a wolf this time or because I tend to look at sally through wolf-coloured glasses. I'm going to go through skip's posts in a while and see if I can find anything else, but he's been making some comments that have sent chills down my spine. Comments that make me think "This is how the cobbler tries to address the wolves!" And Pitch brought up a good point about his voting behaviour being very similar to Greenie's.

1) I'm not trying to save the cobbler or claiming that we should ignore him/her. All I'm saying is that it would be much better to lynch a wolf than to lynch a cobbler. If we get a wolf toDay and especially if the Seer gets another dream and lives to tell the tale, the village will almost certainly win. If we lynch a cobbler, the wolves still have the advantage. 2) You don't know I'm the cobbler, although you might think you do. In fact I'm not. Quote:

Why is this incriminating? I don't get it... If anything it looks like Pitch (or you in a lesser degree) is trying to frame me...

See, this is the sort of comment that makes us (or at least me, I won't speak for others) think you're the cobbler.
EDIT: xed with Skip

It does look like an overly defensive cobbler. And it's true - we can't know. Even the seer can't know. But we can make an educated guess, which in my case, happens to make Skip look cobblerish.

I think what Agan's asking there, though, is whether "You don't know I'm the cobbler" means "I am the cobbler (but you don't know it)".

Also, I'd love to stick around and say more, but my lunch break is a bit rushed today, so I can't reply to everything I'd like to. That just really jumped out at me.

If he's the cobbler and would prefer to stay alive? You're right though, it doesn't really make sense... it's just the way he keeps pushing it.

Like this: there are seven of us alive, not six. Cobbler dead today + innocent dead tonight = two wolves and three innocents tomorrow.

*blink*
*blink* *blink* Okay, so I can't count. *blushes* I'd left myself out when tallying. Still, if we can catch a wolf, we go for a wolf. A cobbler is better than an innocent, but they're still not a wolf. I don't like prolonging End Game, I like ending the game. And the only way to do that is to kill a wolf. Blast. And now I have to go. *grumbles* I'll be back in five or six hours.

I read through the thread and would like to update my earlier not voting/might vote list with the following:
Definitely not voting Nerwen. This probably means she's a wolf after all, but I'm willing to trust her for now. I can't really put my finger on it, but it looks like there might be a connection between Pitch and Lottie. Their thoughts just seem to run along the same lines. After a quick reading, I'm not too concerned about them, but even though I'm not likely to vote for them, it's not a definite no. I have no idea what I should do with Eomer. Before making up my mind, I'd like to hear some explanations from those who said either him or Greenie must be a wolf. Sally doesn't look as bad as I remembered, but she doesn't look exactly innocent either. I will go through skip's posts now.

Okay, I've got lots of things happening at the same time now, so no time for this cobbler-bickering I'm afraid. Not that I'm overly interested in it either, unless it will prove necessary get the noose off my neck.
Could be on and off for about an hour, then I gotta go. Will almost certainly be back before DL though. Any support going after Pitch? Would like to see him make an appearance soon in any case...

Quote:
On day 1, he votes for EW who had made one post so far, saying the timing and phrasing of the post looked sinister. Quote:
His 124 is an analysis on day 1's voting, and he seems rather careful not to have too strong opinions on anybody. He semi-defends Greenie and flip-flops on Fea (questioning her lack of mentioning self-defense when she voted for EW). His conclusion is that wilwa and sally look more suspicious for defending EW. Quite understandable but I can but disagree with him - if they were wolves, would they really have tried to stop him getting lynched? Then there's some theoretical stuff about the EW lynch, and he attempts to explain some comments of his that didn't really make sense. He's been kind of sloppy with the stuff he says, anyway, being often quite ambiguous. I still don't know what he meant when he said he doesn't trust Eomer in any way. On day 2, he considers voting Pitch (to introduce a new candidate besides Lottie, wilwa and sally), wilwa or sally. He says I'm clearly evil but adds he isn't sure my role in this game is evil. That's a weird comment, it could be put down on flattery (he knows how I like being evil) but there's also something tentative about it, as if he was trying to drop a hint to me... Kind of acknowledging "I think you're evil but let's keep it a secret between the two of us". He jumps on Eomer's point about Lottie being quiet, pointing out that she's really different from the previous time he played with her. I might add that last (and only) time I played with Lottie she was all over the place and really confident - and she was a sheriff who could share her opinions with her fellow sheriff. Skip played in that game. I expect a player's ordo (or alone working gifted) behaviour to be the norm, and assume Lottie isn't so certain about people's roles in every game she plays... So it seems skip is accusing her of "being normal", if you know what I mean. Then he votes for wilwa, saying he feels bad about jumping on a bandwagon but wants to "trust his original impression". So, what was this original impression? And what the heck is this comment about? Quote:
Quote:
He adds it's much more important for the wolves not to kill the cobbler than it is for the villagers to find her. Trying to drop hints to the wolves again: "Hey it's important you guys don't kill me!"? He suggests there were no wolves in the wilwagon because it would've been convenient for the wolves just to sit back without getting their hands dirty. Nerwen, Greenie and skip himself voted for her. By then, his pattern of voting the same way as Greenie had already come into being. Also, he and Nerwen had had the short exchange about keeping the cobbler alive (see above). It's possible he thought he had hit both the remaining wolves... Because it really seems like a stretch to say the wolves would behave in a certain way in a certain situation. Way too simple. Okay, we already know Greenie was innocent, and I feel rather good about Nerwen too, but the way skip put forth his theory really looks like he had a hidden agenda. He analyses the votes that came after his vote for wilwa but doesn't reach any definite conclusions: everything could go either this way or that. He ends up following Greenie's example and votes for sally. Today he opposes lynching the cobbler. Yes, of course it's better if we catch a wolf, but even the cobbler is enough, and if we have a strong hunch about the cobbler, I think we should go for it (surprise anybody?). Quote:
Plus what he said to Nerwen. He looks like the cobbler who thinks he's found a wolf and tries to signal to her. Quote:
Quote:
I'm going to have a break now but will check in every now and then. I seriously consider voting for skip spence at this point, unless I get a better idea.

I am not. I don't expect your reply to be as lengthy as my analysis of you, but you got to face it, you look very much like the cobbler. If you're innocent, you're harming us by refusing to answer to my points against you & trying to make me look like I was making a mountain out of a molehill. Was there nothing you'd like to clarify, or did I get everything right and you're now trying to hush it down?

Interesting analysis, Agan. One of the best I've read in a while. Doesn't mean you're right or wrong, mind; I just enjoyed the style.
My problem, which I've been struggling with for a couple of hours, is that I suspect Loslote more, but fully expect there to be more support for lynching Sally (I'm talking about my two main suspects here). Still, in my opinion, Loslote deserves to die. She made, to my mind, a vague gifted hint to make critics (skip & myself) back off - to back off from fairly legitimate questioning of her playing style, may I add. A style which seems to have changed since then (as the village has grown smaller and her role thus more prominent, I will concede). She obviously survived this gifted hint. She then made another vague gifted hint, saying that she was a thousand times more sure of my guilt than Aganzir's (that could be a paraphrase but those were basically the words). If she says that about any other villager, I'm voting for him/her, because that looks seerish to me. However, I'm in the privileged position of knowing that she is either making absurd claims about a blind guess, or actually lying. Because of the stakes, I think she's lying. That's why she gets my vote. But I do guess that Sally's the other wolf. ++LOSLOTE And now bedtime.

If Eomer is a wolf, why did Fea die instead of Lottie or sally? Especially Lottie has been pretty hard on him... And I imagine the wolves would like to get rid of a possible seer even if it incriminated one of them.
Votes: (Pitch - most likely no vote) Eomer - Lottie

I think it's freaking hilarious that Eomer suspects the two people who have been going after him the most. I'm just saying.
I'm back (obviously) but the next hour or so I'll be on and off. After that, I'm here and ready to kill a wolf. Let's get at this, people. No more of this "you're the cobbler, I want to kill you" rubbish. I won't stand for it. We're killing wolves.

No, you're not. It's not the same. Killing a cobbler gets rid of someone with an evil alignment, but the cobbler isn't killing us. Killing the cobbler takes our innocent numbers down by one, regardless of their intentions. And no, I'm not saying that we should leave the cobbler alive if they're found, but our priority is to kill wolves. I can't understand why you're arguing this point.
As for Greenie and Eomer, process of elimination, to be honest, that and the way Greenie had been acting with our exchanges, etc. I'll admit, Eomer is more of an opinion based on feelings than concrete evidence, which is another reason I voted Greenie yesterDay rather than him. Really, you should have been in that category as well, especially now with your "lynching the cobbler is just as good as lynching a wolf" theory. Skip may be the cobbler, but if so I won't be lynching him toDay. We need to get, repeat, A WOLF. Anyone who's not on board with that plan is either evil or possibly the cobbler him/herself.

Incidentally, I'd like to point out to Agan that if Skip is the cobbler, I can't be a wolf, because if I was....well, dang. And I thought Shasta hated me.

I'm not saying that wanting to lynch the cobbler is evil, but when Agan doesn't even seem to be trying to come up with better candidates, it looks like a copout.
