With a cobbler, go figure what's a hint and what is simple conversation. On the bright side, the wolves have no advantage over the innocents in this, so everyone is on even ground when looking at a potential cobbler/hacker hint.

Like I said, it's a fine line and difficult to discern, but any comment of that sort bears a look.

Bizarre behavior can certainly catch a Seer's attention, I would say.

Can't disagree with that, but still planning to do it.

Never stopped me from playing weird and confusingly, can I get an amen?

I'll send it to you all wrapped up nicely, in a purple box with a green ribbon around it. And polkadots.

My sincere apologies. For some reason I thought we were starting tomorrow. But I'm here now, so never fear!

Actually, do fear. Fear much. Even in my attempt to reach this discussion, *they* tried to harm me. I escaped, narrowly, and shall be scarred for hours at the pictures I saw. We must be vigilant, my fellow Downers, lest they fool us into thinking they are like us. With leaders such as tomtom and lucyyenic, we must constantly be on guard, or they, my friends, will turn this site into naught but a Tolkien dating service.


....Has anyone heard from Nienna or Formendacil lately? Perhaps we should check on them.

So, out of what's been posted so far... though first, let me remind that it'd be still really good to see the rest of the village post... (with the hope that they didn't forget about the Day 1 altogether, which isn't sadly that unlikely...)

Main impressions about people about whom I actually feel I can say something about (about the rest, it's too vague):

Morsul - I think he's being his normal, slightly unreliable, but genuine self. Therefore, feeling like okay and letting him go at least for now.

Galadriel55 - somewhat looking like a Cobbler (Hacker, or however it would be). Seriously, too much random chatter with the sort of misguided happy "oh sure, the Seer can look at me" stuff. Flashes warning, but more like on the Cobblery side. Trying to interact with people and to get the Wolves' attention, perhaps?

If we can believe the narrations, there's a TomBot and a LucyBot, meaning there's two bad guys. However, we have a fair amount of people, so I wonder if we couldn't expect three? I'm inclined to think, with eleven people, three baddies might be a bit harsh (they'd only have to survive two lynches), so I'm going to operate, at least for now, on the assumption that we have two baddies.

I was also thinking that based on the narration, it seems like two bots. Which would make sense, since they have the Hacker. It's quite a lot of people. Of course, the good side has three folks on their side as well, but H.U.N.T.E.R. is somewhat unreliable, possibly similarly to how the Hacker is for the Spambots. In any case, it's true the numbers really aren't our issue, it would be just good to know what's the status, but in either case the point is of course the issue of catching spambots, however many of them are there - when it's finished, we'll know.

This is the example of the Cobbler-y behavior (from G55) I was talking about. Hard to tell how "realistically" interpret it, but still, with the little we have, I find it disturbing. It looks like trying to get the Spambots' attention. Well.

More later... hopefully, when there's more for people.
