The issue with 8 v 4 is that if town misses d1 and doesn't get a save off n1, d2 is 6 v 4, which means if town votes out a town again, the game just ends unless there is a save at night. Having to go 4/6 on voting wolves is brutal even with a lot of mech helping out.
With the way this game played out? Maybe it would have been fine, but in general its just very hard.

Yeah that was unfortunate imo.
