Nope, I can appear clever by thinking the same way with you.

Bowie when phantom is in question nothing should be ruled out. He can do anything, however little sense it seems to make at first.

Now I'm really going to sleep.

I'm not quite sure the logic in that. What makes the cobbler a bigger problem on Day 2 than Day 1?

I guess, it would be good to stay wolf-focused, because by the Cobbler's very nature he/she will reveal in one way or another - either by the posts or directly. But, I think this is a different threat, it's like a seer for the wolf team now.

Oh definitely, but overall I'm an embarassed Big 10 fan; 1 - 6 in the bowls! Agh, what national embarassment. Hey, I'm not too down, my teams recruited a top QB that supposedly fits into Rich's system.

I told myself I would not engage in football gossip this time, but it's so hard! I don't know if some understand how hard that can be, I know Mith certainly doesn't.

Oops. I was supposed to keep that a secret. Sorry Wolves. I blew it for you. I told Mith she shouldn't give me an important role. I'm not very good at this game.

As far as Divo/Diva behavior, I won't comment for now. I suspect there are a couple tactics that are certain to be used. We'll see if they work.

Yes, the Big Ten did not fare well, did they? It's okay. There are ups and downs. And things don't always go as they should. I mean honestly- the Big XII North went undefeated, while not a single team from the South has played up to potential thus far.

Due to the extreme power of the Cobbler, and the fact that there is a villager who is immune to the Wolf-kill, I would say that the Wolves will not be free to follow a strict kill-the-Seer policy. There will be conversations like this-

Wolf 1: I think person A is the most likely Seer.
Wolf 2: I agree, but I also suspect they could be the Cobbler.
Wolf 3: Yeah, we can't risk that. How about going with our second Seer suspect?
Wolf 1: But we said that they could very well be the Divo/Diva daring us to kill them.
Wolf 2: So what, go with option 3?

Keep this in mind as you attempt to set yourself up to be killed at Night.

(I'm assuming all of you Ordos are trying to die at Night to protect the gifteds.)

Also, as for the cobbler, their last night information will be passed to the critics regardless of whether they die today.

True but if left alive for too long they might also be dangerous for the wolves. After all they have one fellow innocent to talk to in private, and if they both survive long and come out the village gets two known innocents for one.
However the soulmate role also means that a seeming connection between (living) people doesn't automatically mean they're wolves.

Mith can the cobbler dream of themself?

So

Guilty
Mac. It's just that those two comments make me feel uneasy.
Nog. I don't know - there's just something I don't like. His question/accusation against Gwath was rather bad. Besides I think it was phrased rather like an accusation, and later he accused Gwath of taking it too seriously. Also I don't like his 'double lynch on day 1 would be riskier for the critics than innocents' logic.

Innocent
tgwbs is listed as innocent because he's too funny to be lynched today.
Boro. He's here for now although my opinion is subject to change if need be.
Gwath. After last game I didn't imagine I'd be doing this, but he looks quite innocent. Besides Nog's question/accusation wasn't the best one I've seen.
Ilya. Doesn't give off any suspicious vibes yet.
Brinn. I'm still somewhat uncertain if I like her but she's on my innocent list for now. At least there hasn't really been anything that I would have disagreed with her on yet.

Neither
phantom. I won't concentrate on him for now.
Gollum
Menel. I'm not that worried but I'm not sure enough to label him as innocent either.
Fea. She hasn't got a role on day one.
Cailíneomer. Amusing for sure though.
sally
Lari
Kath
Shasta
Bowie
. I've been humming Life on Mars? in my head the whole day but I guess it's rather my own fault for coming up with that nickname.

Okay I've read through the thread and am on page four now so let's see.

I think sally is being her normal self (which of course indicates nothing). Usually she doesn't have any real accusations on day one yet.

What about me Fea?

I just couldn't figure it out without checking, and I was being a little bit lazy, and (I'm also at work) patrons came in and needed me so I got distracted.

Agan gets a free pass for making me want to sing 'Be Prepared' really loudly.

Load Screen Wisdom:
No enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution. And many strokes, though with a little axe, hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak.

Now, I will make a flippant list of people who've posted recently, because I am master of France and Spain, and it pleases me to do so.

Agan: Let the world tremble as it senses all you are about to accomplish.
Boro: There's daggers in men's smiles.
Phantom: He doth nothing but talk of his horse.
Menel: One should never risk one's whole fortune unless supported by one's entire forces.
Wild Man: ...the King of Rome, and above grammar.
Bowie: He who knows not how to dissimulate, can not reign.
Gwath: Alan Rickman + Jeremy Irons = Die Hard.

I'm glad TP is casting his own opera as the game goes, and the wolf-exchange he posted was indeed interesting, but the Divo/a doesn't get any special privileges other than immunity to night kills, right? It's the Soulmates who I kinda think would have more visible behavior on the thread, and the wolves wouldn't necessarily want to kill one of them because then the other could take revenge. So the only gifted it makes any sense to go after is the seer, and as cobbler is so powerful it feels like the safe bet would be to avoid people with gifted vibes and go after the most ordinary of ordos. So, rooting out the other gifted and talking about them feels like it's kinida off-target right now. I'm thinking out loud here and I don't know where to go with any of it, and what I'm saying doesn't make sense so...yeah.

Can somebody please tell me where I'm off and plot a firm course for the intersection of logic and sanity while I take over the British Isles?
