I still think Fordhim the Cobbler. You're trying to flush him out. A noble effort, if foolish.

In any event, it doesn't matter WHO the Cobbler is, as long as the Cobbler votes with the Wolves- and the game will be over today, and not thereafter.

Et tu, Cobbler? Then fall, Elendili!

Well it was fun while it lasted. I suppose there really is no conceivable way we remaining innocents can win now is there?

Only if we can convince/befuddle the Cobbler into voting for the wrong victim...

An unlikely prospect, of course.

I suppose that if everyone voted for each other we could all go down together and make a mod wins situation! Course that only works if the two wolves vote seperately, and if we knew who they were because we'd have to ensure they voted first really. Guess it's unlikely to work then!

Yea, 'cause all the cobbler had to do was vote themself and the 2 wolves would vote with that person and there would be nothing for I and the other innocent to do.

I just can't see anyway 'round this, the wolves/cobbler have the voting power.

EDIT:[B Kath[/B], interesting idea 'cept for the only double lynch idea.

Not necessarily. Say for the sake of reasoning that:
Innocents: Holby and Kath
Wolves: Formendacil and Fordim
Cobbler: Boro

Now the point of the Cobbler is to want to die yes? So say the two wolves voted for one innocent each (since they have a choice of three it's possible) and the two innocents vote for a wolf each and the Cobbler votes for himself - 5 way lynch!

But its unlikely to happen

My dear Formendacil, why would I try to flush out the Cobbler? What would that do for me? No, indeed I am the Cobbler. Oh, do you notice I can talk properly now? You were atleast right in one thing, that my "spekkin" covered who I was. I was hoping you had trouble deciphering and understanding what I was saying. I couldn't help but wanting to bust out laughing when Aiwendil offered me speaking lessons. I'm so glad everyone was fooled.

Now the village won't benefit to hang the cobbler (or atleast the two remaining innocents wouldn't, because that means game over). So, I could vote for myself and have the two remaining wolves tag along and lynch me, granting wolf victory. But, I kind of wander whether I want to be around to see the wolves destroy those two innocents left, it would be rather fun actually, to see my work and their's complete. Though, I guess if I have to I could sacrifice myself for wolf victory.

Master Fordim, you clearly have lost your mind. I guess this is an attempt to be totally whacky and cause mass confusion in the village, now the wolves just have to tag onto your vote. But, really trying to pass people off as your the cobbler?

++Boromir88

Fordim and Formendacil are the helpless Innocents.

Holby and Kath are the two wolves. I have no idea what Fordim is doing, seems just nuts to me.

So this village has two Cobblers instead of one?

'Cause that's what it is starting to look like....
