Okay, I'm here...finally.

First thoughts:

Nogrod is hurting my eyes with all those 1.2.1.1's or whatever..

I notice that the phantom has once again become the center of attention.

When it comes to who to lynch, of course wolves are our priority. We should do everything to seek the wolves out because lynching them wins us the game. But we also must remember that there are only two wolves...and while it is a big advantage to us, during these first Days it's going to be tricky to actually lynch one, especially with cobblers around. With so few wolves, we do have lee-way to lynch inaccurately. And since the cobblers are also our enemy, if we strongly suspect someone to be a cobbler, we should lynch them right away rather than save them for the hunter. Yeah we'd be lynching someone counted as a villager, but they are still an enemy and it's better to get a cobbler out of the way rather than risk lynching an innocent. And by doing so, we'd give the hunter a chance to seek another cobbler. After all, there are four of them.

Just because cobbler don't know the identity of the wolves, I wouldn't put them out of the picture. In my experience, I've seen the role of cobbler play out as a mixed bag. Sometimes the cobbler can end up hurting their allies more than helping them (though I actually haven't seen that too often). In other times, the cobbler can be the one who wins the game for the wolves. So yes, they can be dangerous.

One thing we need to watch out for is Day 1...or rather, toDay. So often, one player makes a post that looks suspicious and suddenly everyone starts voting them simply because they can't find any better suspects so early on. Wolves have always taken advantage of that, but cobblers can especially use that opportunity to bandwagon and lynch an innocent.
