I see tgwbs, and it just strikes up images of our double suicidal lynching...that was good - I can't believe that worked. Well, I guess all is fair in love and opera.

Edit: x'ed with tp.

I always say get rid of the cobbler as soon as we can, and everyone always disagrees. Even just as a distraction, the cobbler serves no good use, period.

I would usually disagree. In most games I urge that we ignore the Cobbler early, as he stands a good chance of dying anyway (via lynch or WW kill). I always concern myself with the Wolves.

But in this game, I would totally be willing to gun for the Cobbler. He's dangerous.

So remember that, Seer! It may not be a great idea to try and look like a Cobbler to survive at night. I know other Seers have tried that before, but in this game it'll get you lynched.

Retractables add a different dimension and serve as an extra-protection from making boneheaded lynches such as the seer. If the seer likes to be in the danger zone of suspicion he/she has more time before deciding whether there is too much suspicion and when's a good time to reveal. Of course, the seer will be gone the next night, but retractables should serve as extra protection.

I agree with the phantom about the cobbler being dangerous. We really need to get him early before he dreams of one of us. Of course, it is also possible that the phantom himself is the cobbler trying to divert attention off of himself by his aggressive stance, so I don't think we can rule anyone out there.

Boro I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Yes we'd have a known innocent and the seer wouldn't waste their dream, but there's also a chance the cobbler wastes a dream on the diva/divo, or that the wolves attack them. Though I think it's pretty much up to the diva/o to decide which option is more useful for them.

edit: xed with Boro

Now would that make your last post "virtually useless?"

At this stage, I'm pretty much just posting my running thoughts, just as another way to talk to myself.

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.

Wild Man agree - divo be hidden!

Re: Cobbler. He great danger indeed. Quicker xe die, better. If we kill critic, still two more critic. If we kill cobbler, no more cobbler.

Yet, cobbler perhaps more hard to find. While cobbler hard to find, perhaps critic kill xim in night. Ergo, Wild Man agree with Strongbow - try for critic today, cobbler tomorrow.

Wild Man feel phantom speaks logic. But phantom indeed tricksy. Menel correct, perhaps phantom cobbler. But Wild Man believe not.

This early? I'm not so certain. I don't think that the phantom would play that...strangely right out of the gate.

Cobbler-sneak is a problem, but I don't think that the cobbler-sneak is a Day 1 problem. I think it's a Day 2 problem. And then we kill them.

Never, but I've read his games. Bunches of them. I could count, but it's in the neighborhood of ten.

I am a sad, sad little fish. (Fish?)

But maybe I've a glimmer of potential.

I'm thorough sometimes.
