Pipe PM from DAY one/ Cobbler Conniving DAY three

I wrote a few PMs to Firefoot during the course of the game, mostly so I could have my thoughts somewhere concrete. Here's one from day one:

Sorry to start a sort of confusion about the cobbler's job, but I couldn't resist throwing a little bit of non-wolf related confusion in there ...plus if me asking about the cobbler's role makes me look less cobbler-ish, than that's obviously a good sign (for now).

I just hope the villagers don't get what I was talking about when I mentioned having "some oatmeal, peaches and ice cream, and a smoke" - it was meant to be a subtle hint to the wolves so that perhaps they'll catch on (don't know if you've ever had peach cobbler with ice cream on it or not), but if the other villagers catch it I might be out of luck...

And thoughts from DAY three (I was gone during most of the proceedings for this day)...

Wow, Durelin wasn't a wolf. I had been looking at her for possibly the third wolf, instead she's the hunter & takes out another villager with her - good luck I must say. What's Oromin saying? Cobbler? Liar!!! Darn it, it's obvious that Oromin is either a wolf or a Cobbler & since I was the Cobbler last I checked she must be the wolf. Still, I can't bring that up. I've got to see if I can delay her lynching for a day or two, every day longer that we can keep lynching innocents is vital - especially for this stupid strategy of mine that will probably make me look like an idiot. Morm would elect me the leader of the village!? Ah, if I had only been here earlier...still, if I can get him to take up that call later I could probably get away with getting two innocents lynched late in the game before being lynched for my 'mistakes'. I'll have to revisit that one. Wow, I just realized that as an 'innocent' villager I was bothering Kitanna (being suspicious of her) but as the Cobbler I should have been leaving her alone. This role is going to take some getting used to. It seems that most of the villagers either aren't taking Oromin seriously or else they are suspecting her of being the Cobbler. Good. Let's keep it that way for a few DAYS if possible. It looks like Kitanna is going down, ah, Eomer votes for her. That still doesn't clear him, any wolf would jump on his comrade when the ship is going down...still, I have to be sure to look at this with an open mind. Well, I'm finally back - I think I'll shake the COBwebs from my brain - not that anyone will catch on. It looks like Kitanna is out, I should probably vote for her. Sigh, I probably played a big part in everyone suspecting her. Lhuna suspects Eomer, hopefully that will just make her look like a guilty attention-shifter. So, Kitanna was a wolf. This may be a short game, although if Eomer is one of the remaining wolves it just might not be.

edit: Oh yeah, here's a PM to Firefoot from DAY three (I think):

Mormegil being so trusting of me & lmp & Eomer thinking I am definitly innocent is funny but also revealing. If there were three wolves still then I would want to continue to fly under the radar until the last few days, so that I can cause confusion & swing votes at the most critical times possible. But now that one wolf is down & others might be on the way I need to start drawing attention to myself now - which is not going to be easy. It especially won't be easy to confuse the villagers when they are already so clear-cut as to who they want to lynch. I'm hoping that the wolves can somehow survive until at least Monday, then if I can get Mrom to take up the 'head villager' chant again & get myself appointed I can probably afford to 'go wrong' twice before the villagers decided to lynch me - at any rate I would have bought the wolves three more days. But I'm not so sure that we can last that long...I've been hoping from the start that Eomer is a wolf. If he is then I think we stand a good chance of winning, no one has suspected him & I think he would've picked up by now that I'm the cobbler. I decided to drop another subtle hint by me "shaking the cobwebs from my head" in my last post.

I don't know about you all, but I personally would much rather see Eomer & co.'s PMs then type up these things. Come on Eomer, bring on the main attraction!
