Hello everybody. I was investigating penguins and their underwater flying, but now I'm here...
First off, I must agree with
tp,
Nerwen and
Gwath (and others?) that the cobblers probably don't know each other. I think the quote says, rather clearly, that they know they have allies and how many of them there are, but not who they are exactly. Mr
Nogrod looks quite cobblerish for not getting the point and also because of going unnecessarily deep to in-character and by making all those very confusing lists of his... I don't claim he doesn't make sense, for he mostly does, but something in the floody and badly arranged manner disturbs me. It looks very much like something he could do as a cobbler.
Another one who seems a little eyebrow-raising to me is
Form... I mean, the guy is obviously a fraud for he says:

while we all know that the word "Dúnedain" is plural form and the singular would be "Dúnadan"... and that's definitely an Elvish word!
Anyway, I think we have no trouble. Two wolves are easy to find - or should be easy to find - and after that it doesn't matter that there's a horde of cobblers. By the way, I disagree with
the phantom with their ability to cause chaos and confusion. They can very well do that. Present points that seem reasonable and make villagers think about them just to realise they don't make any sense. Make weird last minute votings. Write long nonsense posts to dull others' minds and to appear helpful while actually saying nothing. Stay silent for so long that they become enigmas. Those are just a few examples. I think we shouldn't underestimate their capacity. They can be very dangerous. But the good thing is that they're finished as soon as the wolves are. Also, if it should ever happen that the cobbler hunter has to come out (let's hope that won't happen though), s/he can provide us with a list of non-cobblers - if there have been any failed kills.

Well, I can agree about slips of tongue being a way to hunt wolves, but we shouldn't count on that because all wolves don't make slips and some people make wolvish slips even if they're innocent.

...and beware of those who stay so silent that you can't form a picture of them. The Holy Old Debate!
Tp's way of advicing all sorts of gifted looks rather weird to me. Not that it's uncharacteristic of him, but it irritates me a little... he's obviously trying to gain some control over the village, once again.
It feels so good to be back in all this mess again. I think I did miss the game.
