Right, then. I'll bring along my ice lolly. 7-Up flavoured!

Hmm. Tornado sirens are not a good thing. Time to check the weather.

Who's suspicious, anyway?

Sally for having a cold?

TEW for declaring his innocence early?

Lottie for being her plucky, lovable self?

Me for making a list?

I say we lynch a suspected BW anyhow. He or she may actually be a wolf. The same goes for suspected cobblers.

Suspected cobblers, yes. But I think we should wait a Day to let TB have a go at him overNight. That way, we have an extra lynch, and if xe is TBW, we have a freebie baddie gone.

I don't think we're likely to easily find the BW, short of a Seer dream. Xe has the luxury of playing for xemself, and can thus switch loyalties on a dime from village to wolves. That can make it hard to spot a pattern.

If we somehow get a good idea of who xe might be, and there are no better (ie, wolfy) candidates for the Day, I could get behind a lynch. The BW is mainly dangerous for its ability to block the Seer or the Ranger, so it would be risky to leave it to Bombadil and hope xe got it right, or wasn't blocked xemself.

But if we think we know who TBW is, we can let TB hunt him that Night. TB doesn't need to get it right on his own. Xe just needs to be able to use his power. If we can guess who TBW is, then TB can probably, too - or at the very least, xe can see that we think we know who it is and take a hint. The only reason TB wouldn't have the same information on the TBW suspect as we would is if xe'd already tried the suspect, and found xem to be not TBW - in which case, we're better off not lynching xem for suspicion of being TBW anyway. (For suspicion of being a wolf is another question entirely.)

If you want to get really technical, the BW almost acts as the Bear role in this sense. The only two differences? He doesn't KILL and there is another role to take xem down.

I for one do not believe that TBW should be on our priority list. If it so happens that we take him out in a lynch, cool. But our efforts should be on finding the Wolves, and for this game definitely the Cobblers as there are two of them. Some of us just learned how dangerous the Cobbler can be at the end.

Personally, I say let TB worry about TBW. After all, TBW is only really dangerous to our Seer and Ranger, and at the start of the game, xe is as blind to them as the rest of us. There is always the chance that xe gets one of them on sheer dumb luck, but that's a 1 in 16 shot, and if the Ranger is anywhere near as good as I was last game [

] that won't be a problem.

Note: the contents of the poem I just referred to in no way have any bearing whatsoever on my role. Figured a disclaimer was necessary.

Also: I think we should, for the most part, leave TB and TBW to their own devices. Yeah, lynching TBW would be great, but even better would be having TB kill him overNight, because then we have an extra lynch. There's no real way to ensure that we do this, but if we do have a suspicion that someone is TBW, let's ask TB to try to kill xem overNight, rather than lynching them.

Discuss.
