WW LXXIII: Arkham Asylum: Holding Cells(Game Thread)

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

And poor, poor old Granny Smith as well... and all her cousins & relatives.


Otherwise it has been just like I thought a madhouse would be.

Whatever her role, Dury's "I think I could lunch any of you right now" looks plain calculated.

Or Lottie saying "I don't think we should automatically assume Boro's evil" looks just soo out of place. I mean really.

And talking of cobbler hints, Nerwen's "Yay! Go wolves!" is on a class of its own. That she pleads insanity doesnt't do away the fact that she decided to voice that sentence in the first place.

I love you. Just sayin'.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!



The whole Boro thing, I don't know. I suppose it could be a cobbler hint, but then I suppose it could not be. But really, is our objective to kill the cobbler or to kill the wolves??? Cobblers, in my oppinion, are more dangerous later on in the game, not really as much in the beginning.

Though like I said earlier it would take 4 Days with no wolf lynch in order for the wolves to win, so that does give us a lot of wiggle room, I suppose lynching a cobblerish person wouldn't be a totally terrible idea. And I wouldn't put it past a wolf to act like a cobbler in order to slip through anyway.

My point: I personally do not see it as cobblerish, and I personally would rather look for wolfish behaviour rather then cobblerish behaviour, but lynching a cobbler would obviously not be a wasted lynch, and we do seem to have a wide window.

That's exactly why I think we should also pay heed to cobblerish looking action early in the game... That would be the easiest cover early on if there is a general feeling that the possible cobblers will be "dealt with" only later on.

Talking of which... could somebody tell me what was that "cobbler hint" you guys read from Boro's post? Beats me.

I know! I'm usually good for remembering that, but I guess I forgot. All fixed now.

*Wilwa starts to disappear, her large grin being the last thing to go*

I don't see anything weird in Boro's post. I think it was just a funny story he wanted to share with the class, since it fit the theme and all.

That little line was delicious. In fact....


Wilwa regrets to inform the rest of you that she won't be returning to the game. She seems to have been eaten. Oh shuckmuffins. (Or rather, Wilwamuffins.)



Popping out now but I'll be back and when I am I'll have mad interwebs. ^_^

wait....I don't want to be eaten.

I think Sallycakes would be far more desirable.

*Goes back to paying attention in class.*

Examining the alleged hints a little further, here's my tuppence on Nerwen. Sure, anybody who cheers for the wolves is asking for being questioned. I'm ready to make allowance for being in character and hence in poor mental health, but the problem is, it's quite easy to use lunacy as a disguise.
That said, I think a Cobblerwen might amuse herself by playing crazy and confusing the brains out of our poor skulls (see her resreveR act in Boro's D-League game!), but I can't quite see her doing something that blatant. And a Nerwolf would, of course, be waaaay more circumspect.

I see your point - like "Of course I'm not saying he's a wolf, but I'd like to keep the idea hovering in the background". Subconscious doesn't know negations, and all that. Hmmm...

I read the ending as you did and that's exactly the thing which made me confused. I was afraid there was some intertextual / cultural reference I had totally missed...
