Tol-in-Gaurhoth XLIX - At the Source of Darkness

[the phantom]

Overall, good stuff Nogrod. The pointless philosopher isn't entirely pointless, I see. But I must question this-

1.2.1. The cobblers - adding with the number of wolves - can create a lot of havoc in any one voting we make.

Nah. I don't think so. There are only two WWs. That's hardly voting power.

And the Cobblers don't know anything. They can't vote with each other or with the WWs except by guessing.

I also disagree slightly about the self-preservation band-wagons. As far as I know, every last person in this village is quite interested in self-preservation. It is true that the goal of a Cobbler is to stay alive long enough to cause havoc, but look at who else would like to stay alive...

1) The WWs, obviously.

2) The Seer, our greatest ally.

3) The Cobbler Hunter, our guard against their back-stabbing.

4) Innocents. The goal of an innocent is to die during the Night rather than the Day. For if they die at Night, they have successfully granted the gifteds another night of activity.

I'm going to vote for who I think is a Werewolf, but guess what- if my neck is on the line I absolutely will band-wagon to save my neck, and I think every last man and woman in this village would do the same. The entire goal of a lynch is to kill a WW. Therefore if you are in the lynch line and know that you are not a WW, you are defeating the entire purpose of the lynch if you don't do everything in your power to avoid death.

At least that is my interpretation of the proper way to behave.
