I thought this was pretty interesting, so here's a look at some of Skip's posts toDay:

Thing is, with the knowledge that Wilwa was an ordo, any wolves left to vote at that point would have been perfectly happy just sit back and waiver back and forth in indecision, wouldn't they? Their hands clean and all that.

Now I'm not saying that Nerwen and Greenie are necessarily innocent, but there's just something about the situation that makes me think that there were no wolves among the Wilwa-voters. Could be wrong, of course, yet:
So here he's defending the Vanilwuffin voters, including Greenie. If he were the cobbler, and he did think Greenie was evil, that is the sort of thing I'd expect - and he does it with enough of a reserved air not to attract much attention to himself.

Here he's putting a negative light on Eomer's crusade against Greenie. Since a lot of people think that one or the other must be a wolf, this could easily be interperted as Skip trying to nudge us towards Eomer and away from Greenie.

But I don't think he played that game, so his only real option was to vote Sallycake.

So yeah, I do think Skip could well be the cobbler. But I'd prefer to lynch Eomer or Greenie, who I think could well be wolves.

Hmmm... I don't really know what to think of Greenie now. Haven't seen anything particularly wolvish in her up to now, and thought she looked quite good (pun intended). But I've fallen for the charms of a Greenwolf once before, so...?

To be fair, she called skip's you-know-who-I-mean remark 'more than a bit cobblerish'; if she really thought he's the cobbler I don't think she'd done that as a wolf (unless one of the wolves was in serious danger, in which case it could make sense to sacrifice the cobbler instead).

But then I don't like her vote on sally today based on the exchange between Agan and sally about Agan's Day One vote. I didn't find Agan's vote very well-reasoned myself at the time, and I think it was OK for sally to question her about it. Greenie's interpretation that a sallywolf was trying to deflect suspicion (of which there wasn't really a lot) from herself to Agan there looks a bit stretched.

It's getting late again on this side of the ocean, and after what happened yesterDay I should take care not to vote at the last minute again, so...

As for wolf-suspects, it's between Eomer and Greenie for me (obviously they can hardly be packmates); which most likely means that I'm overlooking somebody, but no time to examine everybody else toDay.

I can't really make up my mind between them toDay (my brain not being in perfect working condition at this hour), so I think I'll go for the probable cobbler:

++skip

I hate to do this in his absence, but I've got to sleep, and there's still hope he'll be back.
Good night.

Vote Tally

Greenie --> Sally

Eomer --> Greenie

Aganzir --> skip

Sally --> Greenie (2)

Fea --> skip (2)

Skip --> Sally (2)

Pitchie --> skip (3)

Lottie --> Greenie (3)

++Greenie

Still to vote: Nerwen.

Oh, and I voted Greenie because of her odd reasoning about Agan and Sally, and because of her strange/evil-looking voting record.

Back for the rest of the evening.

Quick forum question. Is multi-quoting acting up for anyone else?

Anyway, in repsonse to Skip's question earlier toDay (about who I planned to vote for yesterDay) I've already answered it. I intended to vote Eomer.


Truthfully right now I'd be happy with either Eomer or Greenie being gone, but I feel we could learn a bit more from Greenie's death, which is why I voted her toDay instead of Eomer.


Need to get settled in and such, and then I'll be back.

Okay, sorry for not being around.

I'm just thinking what to do– despite my reservations earlier, I wouldn't mind giving Greenie a shot (I feel rather better about Sally after her responses to me).

However, the other candidate's skip, and after sounding him out I do think he might well be the cobbler. (Which Greenie pointed out... Hmmn...)

And if we don't get one of the baddies toDay we're in trouble.

EDIT: X'd with Sally.

Then you know who your vote has to be, don't you?

Well, let's hope for the best. Can't delay any longer, the way my connection's acting up.

Trouble is, from here it looks like if it's not Greenie, we're also going to have to be looking pretty hard at you, Sally.
