What you seem to think was frustration/anger in that post in referring to Gwath, wasn't.

I didn't get frustrated or "angry" until the next post.

*sigh*
I haven't been playing Cobbler at all Gwath.
I've merely been "playing like a lunatic".
As I said. I'm Cannon Fodder.

Before you argue that "playing like a lunatic" and "playing Cobbler" are the same. To me, they aren't.

"Playing Cobbler" is a bit different from actually being a Cobbler. "Playing Cobbler" is putting on a show, regardless of whether or not you are actually a/the Cobbler. Going out of your way to do suspicious and "weird" things.

Being a Cobbler, is trying to look innocent, yet helping the Wolves. Sure, you may want to draw some suspicion towards you - but are you going to put on a show? Maybe, depends on the person. You'd play both sides... dancing like a demented elf on a fence post perhaps.

"Playing like a lunatic" is merely what is suggests. Letting "lunacy" run rampant, and just saying things candidly.

Most people have to watch what they say - regardless of what alignment or role you have. Since you don't want to appear too seerish if you are the seer, and etc.

So playing "like a lunatic" to me, is being candid. I haven't gone out of my way to appear suspicious, or to appear like a Cobbler, or to draw attention to myself. I've merely posted what thoughts have come into my head, as they came into my head. So I suppose it is more a mix of candid and stream of consciousness. I'm Cannon Fodder, I can do that. Plus, it is fun.

If it makes me look suspicious. If it makes me look like a Cobbler or a Mutineer, and that is why I've been kept alive. Then apparently job accomplished, since I'm still here. Was it a plan? Heck no. I merely wanted to have fun.

Was there really a point to all this? *shrug*
Merely explaining my "weird behavior".

X'd since Gwath's #1316.

Are you banking on Nerwen voting for me, Gwath?
Was that your plan all along?

Isabellkya · 06-30-2009, 09:56 PM

Fate sealed then.

I was going to vote for Gwath.
Though my gut says it is Nerwen.

No, Nerwen. The entire point of WW is to have fun. If you expect me, and tell me that I should change my playing style. No thank you. I like having fun while playing WW.

You should be making your vote on who you think is a Mutineer, not on some meta-game reason. Or attempt to force me to change my playing style.

Good thing about the late votes: we don't have to wait half a day for theoretically possible retractions. That's always the late-game anti-climactic problem with retractions...

Isabellkya · 06-30-2009, 09:58 PM

++Izzy.

Don't care anymore.
I'm not playing here. If someone is going to lynch me to try and force me to change my playing style. No thanks.

Macalaure · 06-30-2009, 10:00 PM

Shhh.... be nice, people.

Well, not that it's very important, but sometimes the very best thing a cobbler can do is try to get themselves - rather than the wolves - lynched by looking guilty. Some players might expect this ploy late in the game and so try to avoid lynching someone who looks like they're trying to get lynched. So, behaving in such a way that you are likely to be lynched can sometimes be a good way to not be lynched. Maybe you thought of this already, maybe not.

All these schemes and machinations. I should have been in bed half an hour ago.
