Shoot. No Cobbler. I guess that means there will probably be heroic suicides (a cop-out in my opinion). *LMP sighs*

I don't see how the presence of a Cobbler would preclude heroic suicides. Indeed, it would make them even more likely as the Cobbler himself is the one most likely, on behalf of his lupine friends, to make such a sacrifice...

Oh and sorry for double posting but I've just remembered why lmp doesn't like heroic suicides. *cough* WWIV *cough*

Unless spawn bans them.

Well, granted, that didn't help, but I think it's better to have the give and take of discussions. Offering to die is like having a fifth ace in poker. But the Cobbler's presence in the game (or at least the threat of it) means that if anybody does offer to commit suicide, that person will be suspected of being the cobbler instead of a hero; therefore the cop-out is less likely to be used.

Some people take this a bit seriously, don't they.

Oh well, its a playing philosophy difference and not really worth arguing too much about.

Lalaith · 11-03-2005, 01:28 AM

*tsk* Kuru, we're not arguing, we're discussing. (that's what my parents used to say to me when I was little)

Kuruharan · 11-03-2005, 01:31 PM

It is not worth taking the time to indulge in lengthy discussions, then.

And your parents were just trying to shelter you.

I have somehow just discovered this Werewolf phenomenon, and was wondering how to jump in. I saw my name mentioned on a couple of "dream team" posts, and thought I'd check it out.
