I certainly agree that we should be alive to the fact that one of our known innocents might well be the Cobbler. I am dubious as to whether it is Formendacil, as he started out acting too darn Cobbleresque. I am concerned that the Cobbler has actually played a much more subtle game, hoping to avoid suspicion or Wolfish maw until the time comes when he or she can do most damage. That time is nearing, so we all need to be alert.

What concerned me about your post was the way that you suggested killing Formendacil, who we know is not a Wolf, if we cannot find a Wolf. The chances of locating a Wolf with any certainty tomorrow are low. But, by lynching one of the unknowns, we will at least be giving ourselves the chance of lynching the last Wolf - or possibly even the Cobbler. Lynching Formendacil tomorrow might rid us of the Cobbler (unlikely in my view), but carries with it no chance of killing a Wolf and much more chance of killing an ordinary innocent. Let's not go there. 'Tis a silly plan.

My own view is that, overnight, we should all review the entire proceedings, focussing on those who remain unknown quantites, what they have said and what the known Wolves have said about them. I have already done this, and it looks like spawn has too. Having done this, we should agree amongst ourselves tomorrow as far as we are able who, of the unknowns, we should lynch. That way, we minimise the possibility of Wolfish and Cobblerseque influence.

For now, I might as well cast my vote. TGWBS is a Wolf. We know that and, with five votes cast for him and five votes to come, he will die in any event. Everyone else who I would consider voting for still has a vote left, and so there is no point in me trying for a double lynch. Whatever happens, therefore, today's votes will tell us nothing. So I might as well vote for:

++ THE GUY WHO BE SHORT and fiendish.

Why do you still think there is any doubt here? TGWBS has admitted it.

The only other possibility is that malkatoj is a Wolf and TGWBS is the Cobbler. In the highly unlikely event that this is the case, we lynch malkatoj tomorrow.

The cobbler shows as an ordo to the seer, correct?

Yes. Any one of our known innocents could be the Cobbler.
