Sorry about being quiet, I've been IMing with a beautiful lady I'm possibly going to paint.

If we do our best to keep Cobblers alive, Goodies will own Dead-Land with total authority.

Hmm. That depends on your point of view. The cobblers are going to cause trouble - both here and in Mandos. But it's going to be a serious problem only if they mess up some information delivery plan. So yes to lynching cobblers, no to plans they can easily affect.

Not recently - people have been quite happy about lynching players who post little substance, I think. (But I admit I haven't been very active lately.)

That's as good an excuse for not posting as Greenie had.

I can't believe that my first post agrees with Noggin...

Bunny fangs!

I agree with Shasta about Nog being suspicious but I don't see anything particularly bad about his defense of phantom. I think they just think alike on certain things regardless of their roles... And phantom looks almost alright now (although the sooner he's dead the happier I am).

No.
The louder players leave more trails. They are also more likely to contribute more in Mandos which is good, especially if they're innocent. I strongly object to deaths that don't reveal us anything (in the sense that you can't find connections even later when we possibly have information from Mandos or the seer). The longer someone lives, the more she posts.
I know Nog likes lynching quiet players. So do I. But in this game I think it's different.
