This sacred duty falls uniquely to the Hobbits among you, a burden few can comprehend.
Should the line of Ring-bearers be extinguished, the quest to destroy the One Ring fails, and with it, all hope for Middle-earth.
Yet, the Ring itself is a persistent and powerful force; even if its current bearer falls, its fate may not be sealed, and its dark influence may still be resisted.
The Wolves win when their numbers equal or exceed the number of Villagers, successfully corrupting or overwhelming the Free Peoples of Middle Earth.
The Serial Killer wins by gaining parity with the village & wolf teams, claiming the ultimate prize for themselves amidst the fiery ruins.

It isn't very clear what happens, did anything like this happen in the lore?

The wolves win conditions mention reaching the same number as villagers so reads like they still need to get to parity. The weird line in their conditions is the use of the word exceeds - wolves would never usually exceed villagers as the game usually ends when they equal the village number

Gollum/Smeagol could have been our vig in theory. He did have seperate win cons as Gollum but also could win as a villager I think.

I assume he would have known he alternates sides each day?

There is no way to be sure though I would appreciate if we can come to a consensus who I should pick tonight.

I think there are 2 left.
Some people seemed to think there could be 4 initially, but this was discounted due to the SK. However, given the theory about the SK could be village aligned, does that make it more likely to have been 4 wolves from the start?

My boss is on leave today so it’s easier to have the phone in my hand more often as this site is blocked in work. 

We have a decent village core in yourself, Ina, Rhoda and Edward leaving Will, Laura, Ben and Vincent as the unknowns (obviously I know I am village). That would be my order of most to least wolfie. 

I am getting in the car now to drive home, will be on later. Haven’t voted yet, was planning to stick with Will but reckon I’d be alone so happy to go Laura

Oh I mean if we lynch 1 tonight, how many do we think are left.

I was second on Rhoda just after 8, Betty was getting heat so why didn't I hold off and see how the vote was going?

I dont think just the day1 vote. Although the thing is, the other two voters are confirmed villagers, aren't they ? Someone on that wagon has to have been a wolf. That only leaves you. 

plus, for wagonomics on yesterdays votes, you just gotta go.

I'm trying to think if Laura is a wolf, then there must be a deeper wolf or two in the mix because I think Will gets some village cred for his vote yesterday (as do i)

Do you think I should have sat back and be lynched? I didn't know Vernon's alignment at that point. This is weak reasoning.

6 or 7 villagers - 2 or 3 wolves.

if we miss today and they kill tonight its 4 villagers vs 3 wolves.

I'm struggling to see a partner/partners for Laura in this at the moment ? Is there anybody not sussing her ?

We have to lynch into that pool of 5 tonight.

Is there ANYTHING people can do to narrow that list of 5 down a little. Anything at all.

I have to run some errands but I’ll be back as soon as I can. 

Could everybody please post why they shouldn’t be lynched tonight. I will do the same.

The thing I can't shake right now is Laura's defense is very wolf like. If I was in her shoes and as a villager I would probably just say ok, resolve me and move on to the others, I will take one for the village (different players play it differently of course and we do encourage villagers to fight for themselves in these cases)
I still think she is all over the place defending herself and it just doesn't look like a village player to me. If nothing else materializes before lynch I can't see who I would move on to

Pat was obsessed with me too, if he liked it he should have put a ring on it.
