Conversely, the dead townies were active, pushy, and correct. The wolves were being boxed out and were picking it off the Big Scary Towny Leaders as they saw them.

This suggests the wolf team that remains is not in control of this game. The town is.

Agree/disagree?
Agree, but in this line of talk, if we are wrong on who's in control, who's the deepwolf?
I don't believe we need to discuss that yet. I don't think we should let ourselves overthink things. Plus it's all WIFOM dependent at this point.

His category placement is because he has claimed a protect on nutella and this might verify Martin's claim.

Also he's just sorta townie when he does come along to post.
not sure on martin's claim (as in I have no clue what it is) but I sorta doubt that's a stable reason

Hey, I have a question that I have asked before, but I don't think it was answered. The wolves likely know my role. Should I share it? It's not particularly clearing, but it's provable.

General observation number four:

I feel like this round, for the first time, we are coming together as a group. Our reads and PoEs are swirling into a nebulous consensus, with a natural amount of variants and disagreements. This is both a good sign, and potentially a dangerous one due to intertia. Let's not be afraid to challenge assumptions, but always with the understanding we are prodding the fringes for holes in an effort to find any leaks.

I may have mixed up some metaphors there.

I doubt it. Again, based on known roles and everything, I think Epi designed this game to need to be solved by old-fashioned methods. I don't think there are any Gamechanging Power Roles present.

Like even the cop role was different.
