And if I was town, I would feel like this was just moving the goalposts to prolong a game that was basically over.

    The fact that it’s random is just also… man, that is frustrating. There won’t be much in the way town can do to solve either, given that everyone has claimed and has shared parts of their powers.

    We have left in the game:

    1) flat_footed
    2) 3SecondCultist
    3) LetsGetKraken
    4) Xihirli
    5) Caedorus

    Am I missing anybody? Because if the wolf gets an NK tonight, we’re down to 4 players, (potentially 2 townies, 1 wolf, and 1 neutral who seems very okay with wolfsiding). That’s LYLO.
    Merel is still alive, I believe. So not quite. Caedorus might also townside, who knows. Or cease to exist once he wins. Math is tough.

    I think it largely depends on how the night attack works.

    The bright side is that we can basically ignore all non-claim parts of the thread before the start of today. I don't think Book would put four wolves, three neutrals, and an only nominally predictable culting mechanic in a game with thirteen players, even if we do have some good powers. So we can safely assume that everyone was town, and telling the truth about their abilities (still not sure what happened with Xihirli tbh but this generally holds up).
