Okay. I do agree with Brinn (and tp) that Kath might be a cobbler indeed. Yes she's much more subtle and reasonable when she's a wolf. Also, and to me this is the strongest point, she hasn't suspected me or raised a campaign to lynch me. She always thinks I'm a wolf but now she has indeed used Lommy's suspicions of me as reasons to suspect Lommy. So, she thinks I'm a wolf as always but as a cobbler she plays it the other way around...

Now the question remains whether we should leave her to the cobbler-assassin or is s/he already overworking...

Okay. I think I might vote Form toDay - since he isn't dead my guess is that he is actually a wolf and that is why he's still alive. And if he isn't a wolf then it's at least quite likely that he is a cobbler, given the way he behaves. And even if he is an ordo he's at least a confusing one and I feel more at ease with not having to ponder about him..

Other possibilities could be Nog or Fea or Nilp (because he's the most wolvish of all the under-the-reindeer people).

By the way, it has been nice to see more of both Kath and Shasta. I think I have more to think about both of them. At the moment Kath feels innocent.


EDIT: x-ed since Brinn

Yes, let's please not forget about Nilp.

Sorry I haven't been around much toDay, moving into college and all that.

You can lynch me for this if you will but I disagree. She hasn't given me any cobblerish vibes at all. This is basically gut-feeling but I think she feels pretty genuine.

I'm wondering.. I'll probably vote Form or Nilp - Nog is probably a cobbler or an innocent so I won't waste a vote on him. Probably Form, since Nilp hasn't shown up toDay so I'd feel kind of evil to lynch him without him being able to defend himself in any way...

I agree with whoever said things had been way to quiet today and there hadn't been lots of good cases against people.

But I don't think I have a right to complain about it because I haven't been around much today. I think many of us are just having rough schedules this particular cycle.

Here's my dilemma- my two highest suspects I suspect not of Wolvery but Cobblery (not a word probably). The person who I feel the most strongly is something other than a Cobbler might well be the Assassin, so I don't want to make a WW case against them naturally.

The WWs seem to be completely absent from my mind, and I don't like it much.

So what to do? Try and lynch a Cobbler, or go for someone who I have no clue about and hope it's a WW?

Oh, that's just something that came up when we were playing live werewolf at our summer cottage and someone pronounced "slip" so that it sounded like "sleep". I'm not sure where the reindeer came from, though - I think it had to do with Rune being called Rudolph...


EDIT: x-ed with tp

I agree with Nogrod about Form... Hmm...

I am somehow having trouble in this game doing anything more than coming up with people who I feel are innocent. So then I am left with a list of names, any of which I could vote for. Egh.

The idea of making the wolves priority seems to have become avoid the cobblers somehow. If we're going to lynch someone, a cobbler is certainly better than an innocent! We can't rely on our cobbler assassin anymore than we should ever rely on any gifted. And, this "oh, they seem more like a cobbler so I don't want to lynch them" thing is probably keeping us from really going after our wolves.

Anyway...finally have time to rant about something or other and it's almost deadline... Gonna vote in a minute.

18 minutes till deadline and I don't know who to vote. I could vote Nog or Dury although that would be a bit bad because I haven't had the time to see if my suspicion holds water. I'll do that toMorrow if I'm still alive. I don't like Fea's and phantom's schemes but I wouldn't vote them just based on that. I suspect Brinn in a way but not enough to vote her yet. Voting Form or Kath who both look pretty cobblerish to me is tempting, but then again it would be better to lynch a wolf.

edit: xed with Shasta, tp and Nog

Btw, what's with all the reindeer references from Lommy and Greenie? I know you're from Finland and all, but don't you think you're overplaying it a bit? I think perhaps it's a conspiracy...like a secret word or something.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.
